One OF the worst signs OF the times Is the
practiced by our pubblic men !;
the higher the position from whence this
duplicity emanates the more destructive
it is Of confidence and faith in those in
authority. Hayes words after his induc-
tion to Office inspired faith and hope that
he would be found man equal to the ex-
pectations he had inspired. There was
hope that he was republican in fact
although partizan. How delusive this
hope was, is found in the changed tone
of the conservative papers that at first
sustained him; but which now condemn
his course as the most unwise and dam
gerous as actually encouraging the
worst element of the carpet-baggers in
Louisiana and South Carnlina to open
rebellion and civil war.
he went so far in his proposed policy
of reconciliation as to seek in the Demo
cratic party gentleman for his Cabinet /;
thus recognizing the great leading rights
of the people to form parties, and to this
extent acknowledging that partizanism
was actuated by patriotism, for without
great parties properly led and governed,
there cannot be Republican form of
government. Now, Hayes says the Demo
cratic party must be destroyed. What
must the people think of such a man
The only party which the country can at
all rely on for honesty and reduction of
the expenditures-looking at what has
transpired under the control of its ex,
ponent for the last eight years,-must be
crushed out. The partial success of the
Democratic party and its control OF the
House of Representatives for two years
has saved the country from $72, 100000
to 100,000,0o0, and yet Mr.. Hayes says
it must be destroyed. What for? To
give him and the carpet-baggers an op-
tended lease of power.
The color-line must be wiped out.
That is Mr.. Hayes desires to have the
negroes kept in Office in the South, where
they had already been kept in office Sc
long that wherever they have not been

paralyzed. Hayes sees every Southern
State which has escaped from Republi

party, and yet that party must be de.
