highest legislative authority in the
nation.
So far as his title is concerned, he
recognizes nothing but the decision
of the commission /; so far as bis
duty is concerned, he has ouly to
consult the constitution which he has
sworn to defend. He is thus bound to
protect both the citizens and the
States of the Union, and he cannot
impair the rights of either to Sc
cure those of the other. He can
not recognize a State government
which exists only upon paper ; he
cannot ignore the fundamental
American doctrine that majorities
ought, can and WILL govern. Fur-
thermcre, he has been at great
pains to inform himself Of the rela-
tive strength CT the contending
parties in the so-called doubtful
States, and has come to the conclu-
sion that the political rights and
personal safety OF the colored race
would be qaite as safe under Con-
servative as under Radical protec-
ton.
The argument is sufficiently con-
elusive !; but the praticaI question
is how it will be received and sus-
tanned in Congress. Obviously
Mr.. Hayes position will be mex
pugnable if he can secure the al
lance of the Southern members.
and to 60 that he has only to ad-
here to the principles enunciated in
his letter of acceptance and his in
augura! address.

THE PENDING STRUGGLE.
IN. o. PicayuRe.l


tween the two wings Of that party
more fierce and inplacable than
that waged during the last end
prior campaigns between the DEM
ocrats and Republicans. 1t is
easy enough to sketch in advance
the positions which will be assumed
by the contonding parts of the
party ct war within itself. Mr.
Blaine as the Spokesman Of the
Radical opposition to the Admins
,ration will take this stand "Mr.
Hayes was elected, IF he was ell
ccted, by the Republican party.
Ee was elected by voters who
marched to the polls under the
banner of the sbloody shirt His
supporters held that the amended
constitution could not lie enforced
in all its provisions by the Democ-
racy, that organization being pledg'
ed to the restoration Of the right
of local self-government 10 all the
States, North as well as South
The negroes are in the majority in
several Southern States, and hold
the balance of power if they are
permitted the free exercise Of the
elective franchise ; but the whites
in these States, by reason Of their
superior skill, courage. knowledge,
military training: and wealth, VII,
override the will of the majority
unless that majority is afforded the
protection of Federal arms. Such
protection was previously oforded,
and under it's influence the Repub-
iican party maintained itself in
power for two Presidential terms,
and succeeded in securing the in
auguration of lis last nominee, Mr.
Hayes. Now that gentleman pro-
poses to kick from under him the
ladder by which he ascerded, to
rencance his obligations to the suf~
fering race which made him great,
to forego the claims OF humanity
and to establish himself by making
terms with his enemies at the eX-
pense Of his friends. Ne has al
ready refased to obey the c3nstitu~
tional requis;ticn of q Governor
y hose right to Office is rot only
greater than his own, but cau,ot
be ignored without confeSsing the
deficiency Of his own. Mr.. Hayes
assumes the role cf lyle: and
Johnson he allies himself with the
ku-kluS, TIE White League and
Buildoz, Y, and repadi&tes al the
pledges, obligations and duties
which be assumed when he con
sen;cd to become the Republican
nominee"
Bear in mind that we have only
been defining Mr.. B!aine's proba,
bic line of attack. The answer is
evident enough. In the last cam
paisn the two parties stood upon
platforms which were substantially
iden ;ical. Both were pledged to
the maintenance Of the perfect po'
litical equality CT all citizens and
States of the y nion under the Fed
eral laws and constitution. The
real question at issue was whether
Mr.. Hayes or NJ. Ti!den would be
most likely to give effect to deci>
sion which was without dissent
ing voice in the whole country
The result Of the election was q
doubtful one, and by special law
enacted by Congress it was refer
red TO the avb.tramert OF a select
Electoral Commission. Mr. Hayes
title rests solely upon the conclu-
sicn reached by that body. The
reasons which led il 20 that conclu-
sion are beyond the review of any
authority now in existence. If Mr.,
Hayes is remiuded that his own
