idca Of the Presidents Southern policy scor1s
already to bo prevalent, especially among
largo class Of radical Republicans. President
Hayes, It may be authorltstiyely announced, has
determined upon no Southern policy except a.
It has been set forth In bis letter Of acceptance
mud In hls inaugural address. In each Of tlloso
documents ho has told tho country what he be-
lieycs desirable to he accomplished In relation
to The Southern question, hut in neither hae he
explained how tho rcsulta at which lle will aim
are To bo brought about, That Is
subject for future consideration The psesi-
dent has thus far committed bimself To no
particular plan Of accomplishing tho dcaIred re-
suit. His selection of x-Henator Kcy To place
10 his Cabinet was undoubtedly prompted by
bis wish to lcmonstrato TO tho Southern people,
Ills Willingness to be tho President OF
THE WHOLE COUNTRY,
not party. and to inTltc tho assistance Of every
class Of citizens In tho solution Of tho Southern
question, IN which they sse 20 vitality Interested.
In fact President Hlyes' Southern policy hts
only been 90 far developed a. to show what he
a1ms 10 accomplish. and not tho 1neans which
be intends to employ. Thoao ends should CON-
mand tho approval ot tho patriotic rnen Of I'll
parties, and President Asyeas friends think that
any men OF either party who may, In advance,
place themselves In Rntagonl1n With tlAc Ad-
minstrat!on on account OF what It may conceive
to bo ita Southern policy, nay hare reason to
regret having assumed false position.
