onnear to be any doubt any longer that Tue
apispsatisficd Radical Republican politicians
hove fully determined to enter upon con-

southern policy. The elements OF OPPOSE

on the contrary, will condemn IL III se'eie
terms. o,,
now here in sympathy with this movement
AGAINST the President, Senator Blaine is eX-
pected to lead the revolt, aided by number
Of prominent Radicals Of the most extreme
TYNE. The assertion is made here openly
that within twenty days after the extra ses-
sion is convened one half OF the Republican
members in the House will be found arrayed
against the Administration unless the PreSl-
dent resorts to very liberal use OF patronage
and gives the members all the appointments
they may request. II he does this he VIII
have to violate his ciyi!-Servicc theories,
in which event the independent Republican
| press is expected to bowl vigorously ana
| to denounce him. Senator Blaine is en-
pected here this week to consult with his
| followers over the situation, and to lay
down programme for action until Con-
cress meets. Packard will, it is said, be
advised to hold on, no matter what terms
the commission may make with the Demo
Gratis in Louisiana, until the leader in the
revolt can have an opportunity OF making
an open attack in Congress, and arouse the
Republicans in the country to realization
Of the effect Of the Presidents action.
These men say they have entered upon
their present course advisedly, and that
there will be no backing down. During the
present week another large poster will be
placarded throughout the city giving an eN-
| tract from the remarks made by President
HAYES lust after the November election,
when be thought he never would occupy
the presidential chair. He then said, in e.
feet, that he did not care so much for defeat
for himself us for the poor negro in the
South, who would now be made to suffer
under Democratic rule and to feel kcenly
the want OF Il true hand to guide them.
This will, it is said, be followed by other
placards, and the Radical discontentcrs say
they will make the campaign warm one.
They will do all they can, in fact, to twist
the application of the Presidents we'll
known sentiments so that the present poll
CIV, which is consistently based upon them,
shall appear inconsistent.
There are few Republicans who believe
that an Administration Speaker will be
chosen in June. In consequence OF the
very positive statements made by some
prominent Administration men that enough
Democrats would join with the Republicans
to elect an Independent Republican, the
Democratic Congressional Committee de-
cided to look into the matter. As the re-
suit they have heard from every Democrat
elected to the next House, and not one can
be found who does not squarely say that he
intends to stand by the Democratic organ
ization and to vote with his party. There
is no sign of weakness anywhere. On the
contrary, the failure to place Mr.. Tilden
into the presidential chair, aggravated by
the spirit shown by the Radical marplots at
present, has only intensified the determine
ton among the Democrats to stand together
and to enter into no more bargains.
