President Hayes has heretoiore entitled
himself to the confidence OF ,honestimen by
his course on this question: Nothing, sir,
but the necessity OF gaining support. for his
southern policy could have induced him to
contemplate an alliance with the silver con-
sppiracy--a conspiracy which regards silver
with favor only because IL has lost
all virtue as 4 standard OF value, and
as currency is cheaper than green
backs. r It is the inherent and I'M
)ayoidable weakness of his present posi-
tion-the effect of his wretched southern
poJicy-that he must conciliate an out
ragged party go far as possible by yielding
| now to the demand for the 'sspoiis,' and
now to the, demand for .",cheap !" money.

platforms is pledged to oppose the grant OF
