Mr.. Wade on fhc President.

Mr.. Benjamin Wade, The implacablc radical
OF Ohio, says:
"uaycs was elected as Republican. but,
Instead of pursuing the course marked out 10y
the platform Of that party. he has adopted III
entirely different policy. The President Is sim
ply an executive officer, and it Is his duty I"
see that the laws arc faithfully executed. He
| can not make laws and is not dictator, and II
a pclicy or measures Of government are to br
adoptcd, it should be done by Congress; but
vet Hayes has declared Loey,' and when
COMPLAINT is made against it we are told that
| he announced in his letter OF acceptance that
he would pursue this course, but it IS not So
| If Hayes had announced TO the people that he
proposed to abandon the Southern RepubcanS
and place 10 his Cabinet arcbol vino had fought
| four years to destroy the Government, he wou|'!
| never have received my electoral vote, nor, as
believe Republican electoral vote IN the
| whole United States
''As to this Southern policy, the pretensc OF
the President that irit did not work we'll it
would be changed or abandoned is all bosh.
| When hc abandoned the Republican State
officers in South Carolina and Louisiana, and
turned them over to the Democrats, he placed
| it utterly out of his power to restore the
same condition Of things, and everybody knows
lit. He could not US, the Federal power to pro.
tcct the people there without being called on TO
| do 40 by the Governor or Legislature; and n
had turned over the power to Governors and
Legislatures who, as is we'll known, would give
the Federal Government no opportunity to ~
terfere for the protection Of the people.
1T was clearly tho purpose and policy CT tie
| Reputlcan party and the Government not only
to protect the negro in his rights, but to cdu
cate and TO elevate him. yet Hayes has dcliv,

the delegation together and perhaps aided
