acquiesce in the assumption that the Fed
eral government found itself unable to
continue the policy OF military interference.
But we cannot stultiiy ourselves by con-
cedirg that the republican governments
which were in full existence before the
withdrawal of the troops were not fairly
elected that they had not Il valid aud just
title; or that the Senators which they
elected while they were i'll full lite were
moi rghtiully chosen.
The declaration of the Springfield Re-
publican is equivalent to saying that the
Presidents policy involves the admission
of the democratic Senators and the over
throw OF the republican majority in the
Senate In the measure OF support which
we have given it, we have never supposed
it went Ia this extent. We have never
supposed that any champion would make
such claim. II it he sound in logic or
in fact, it puts the policy beyond defence.

then this is the worst blow his policy has
yet received-and it is fatal.
The republicans Of the country firmly
believe that their party had fair and hon

couldn't believe that Mr. Hayes has any
title to the Presidential chair. To dis
pute the republican majority in those
States is to deny the business of his claim
The same vote which elected Hayes, elect

republican can sustain the Presidents title
without holding al the same time that
Packard, Chamberlain and the republican
legislatures were rIghtiuly elected. Many
republicans were disposed to sustain the
President in Withdrawing the troops Oh
the ground that it was Il necessity under
the circumstances. But they did not ac
cept that act as assuming to decide the re
suit OF the election. They certainly die
not accept it as yielding the rightiulnesi
OF the republican claim, and in acquies
cling in it, they none the less believed thai
the republican State governments were
fairly chosen.
