"MY SOUTHERN POLICY"
Whnathe EDnvpes Say.

St. Louis Republican
The setion of Ha3 IS on the Southern
question has d stroy~d all prospect of
Democratic alliance with the aGminiStra-
ton. There Is not such thing a Hayes
Democrat. to be found in the country, ex-
cept perhaps in the person OF some impecu-
nious office-seeker, who is ready To- sell his
principles for a salary. The dc tacto Presi-
dent must hereafter rely exclu lively upon
tbe partv which swindled him into the ex-
ecutiye chair.
Philadelphia Times, tInd.)
Mr.. HAYES ought to understand distinctly
flat If there be any breach of the pubic
n4ace In Louisiana, the responsibility VIII
rest upon him alone. That Packard i seek
inc bv every means in his reach To bring
about A disturbance, In the hone tina, il may
in some wav help his desperate fortunes,
has been evident tor some time; but Pack
ard would long ago have abandoned ms
/ lawirss pretences were it rot for the passive
/ c,untcnanee he receives from the President
! hy whose consent the military power oil
! tn. United ) ates keeps this man IN posses
/ sion of the State House at New Orleans, anu
whose plan Of another eighth y-sey com
/ mission has given him fresh hope OF 4 more
! active support in store for him.
/ n Y Herald
Every body believed that Mr.. Hayes would
/ at least settle the interminable Southern
muddIe and relieve anxiety which has
/ tortured not only the South but the North
for too many long years. And what has he
done? BY deciding for com mission he
has plunged Us all b8ck into toe dolorous
uncertainty in which we lived under Gen
eral Grant. His dilratory aud wavering
policy futlicts daily and very serious losses
upon every industry in the Union.
| Montgomery (AIa.) Advertiser and MALL
Our worst anticipatOts have been rea!iz-
ed. The Presidents "policy" with regard to
Louisiana has been at length promulgated
| Ii has received the unanimous approval. or
at least acquiesence OF his cabinet-AIr. Key
| included 1t will be seen that our estimate
OF the latter was just. Like all so-called
"Independents' he accepted office at the
sacrifice of his pretended principles lie
row shows his true coiors. THAT policy i
| 10 "fool" Democrats Ito the top Of their
bent Let the deluded Congressman, who
| suffered themselves to be used as eats paws
to pull the Hayes chestnuts out OF the fire,
answer. These all put their trust ia Radi-
Gals, and as Il necessary consequence, We're
cheated aud deceived.
Memphis Appeal
The brilliant achievement of the historic
king who, with ten thousand men, marched
up the hill and then down again, has been
surpassed by the doughty President OF Tic
ho ~ -
by Hayes have all ended in smoke and the
Democrats who gushed over the political
millennium which the new President oriCi-
mated in his inaugural, confess that they
have been deluded, and that the policy
which they so hastily indorsed is failure.
Louisville Courier Journal
Tie Southern country was to be freed
from the incubus of carpet bag government,
and the people OF that section were to be in
vised to give their undIsturbed attention 70
the building up of their material interests.
1t looked for 4 few days as if new era was
to dawn upon the country, and, after ali.
there was a blessing hid away under the
| grievance of the electoral commits sion adju
dication. But all this seems to be Gispelled.
This fair vision of peace and prosperity
seems to be rapidly drifting away, and COM
ing up over the southern horizon are thos e
Storm clouds with which we have been SO
familiar in years past.
Montgomery Advcrtiser.l
A commission was determined on. And
| now, whatever that commission may DO, the
result is equally as disastrous to Mr.. Hayes
attempt at cajoling Southern Democrats. If
Packard be kept in, their opposition will be
intensified. / Nichols be allowed to OBJ

mission win have the credit, not Mr.. HIycs
He has broken faith. He has played the
part of Joseph Surface"
Colum bia (Tenn Herald and MALL
Hayes is afraid to d. right, and wants to
throw off the responsibility. Democrats are
fools if they trast to those who only make
contracts TO break them. No more conpro-
misses with those Louisiana rogues.
