DOES Nor APPROVE OF HAYES Pol
IcY.-The Republican wants to fly the
bloody shirt, and to have troops kept in
the Soutf. Hayes policy Is repus nant to
that paper, and TO prove that it is not such
as the Radicals in Delaware approve, it
submits the following:
The PRESIDENTS SOUTHERN Policy.
1t will be remembered that couple of
weeks ago Hon. r. H. Cain, a colored
member of Congress from South Carroll
ma, was present In this city, attending the
annual session of the Philadelphia Con-
ference of the A. NJ. e. Church. He has
been visiting Chester since then, and on
Thursday night delivered an address
there on the Southern policy of President
Hayes. The following from the 'Chester
News is an abstract Of his address:
"There are only about l 800 white Re-
publicans in South Carolina, and we have
$4,000 colored Republicans there. The
policy that Mr.. Hayes presents turns
everythings into the Democrats, and the
question arises, "Will it be an advantage
to the colored people to stand by the Re-
pubhcans?" If the colored man will vote
the Democratic ticket he can get all he
wants. houses, schools, work and plenty
to eat. The Democrats tell them that if
they vote with them they will protect
them and stand by them, Every colored
man who goes TO the polls takes his life
In his own hands. That sods ecten he
lcdrlted to rote the Democratic ticket, The
whites Of that section are desperate in the
extreme by education. They are reckless
to fault, and will fight to the death for
the cause they have espoused. The color
ed men of South Carolina are the bravest
colored men ] ever saw. The President
thinks he will disintegrete the South, but
it is the grandest mistake in the world.
The white Democrats of the South will
quarrel among themselves, but they will
make up" The policy ofthe President
will have the tendency to unite the South
in solid mass, and it will have the ten
dency TO drive thousands of the colored
men into the ranks of the Democratic
party. In the next campaign you will
have solid South, and the Electoral
College will be such that you will need
no Commission to determine the Presi-
dental question. The South will have
the entire control Iof the Government.
The yeomen of the South are the colored
men, and the merchants are the whites.
The two classes depend on each other,
and the result will be more solid South
than ever before.
No doubt the negro speaks the truth
about the bravery Of the whites of South
Carolina. They have stood as men with
the points of bayonets at their throats
for ten long years,and it would be strange
if in that time they had not become in
ured to acts of daring. 1t must be re-
membered, too, that the negroes were
made their masters at the ballot-box, by
means OF U. S. soldiers, while a few
carpet-baggers like Chamberlain robbed
the State and run it into debt. 1t will be
noticed that the only objection which this
negro makes to Mr.. Hayes is that the
Democrats will secure the votes of the
negroes on their side unless HAYES puts
the whole people to the cost OF keeping
an army in South Carolina as Grant did
But We think that Grant came to the
conclusion that the whites would no
stand that thing much longer, and he
therefore, ordered the troops to he re
