ward. when called to alleviate these very |
evils the Standard passiOnately clamors |
that Mr.. Hayes is responsible for theml |
Was ever injustice to a great and good |
citizen more indecent
When, nine years afterward, Mr. Hayes |
spoke at Jackson. the Constitutional !
Amendments and the policy of recon
struction had become fixed facts and had
passed out of discussion. the points at
issue were imitation. the Geghan Bill and
the schools. All who remember this
Sam Carey and Governor Allen campaign
will realize this, and the Standard will
not find single man of sense who will
sustain it in the assertion that Mr..
Hayes did at jackson what he never did
before or since. wandered from the is~u.
6. The assertion toy the STANDARD ia
paragraph six that Hayes did this is an
absurd y. utterly unsustained by the re-
port of his speech at Marion, on that
| tour. as given by the Gazette and 10y tn
synopsis of his jackson speech as report
ed by Mr. Furay.

seven the challenge 10 assert If IL dare

aud occupies over half column, not ia
daring to assert the wrong but in avoid
ing an answer. Like the disturbed cut
tlriish, being assalled, it creates a black
cloud and runs away.

asked:
How does this new policy propose to
get rid of this bad Government By ar
gument to induce voters to elect good

policy is wrong because IL does not do as

without the intrusion of the General

-l-e would the Standard havr2
The The Stnndud ought to know that
the National Government has no ti1ht 10
nterirr,. IN the local afftirs of a State,
except in the manner prescribed 10y the
Constitution. How. for instance ia Mis-

take official cognizince of the Chisholm

Constitutionally Mr.. Hayes proposes
the broad.r and more statesmau-likt
plan OF not interfering where he has not
the right to control, and leaving the
States to control their own affairs. By
this means the responsibility is placed
where il belongs without cavil or recrlm
ination. The Standard intimates thai
the National Government should turn IL
self into a political exhorter. and do as 4
Government what Washington did as
pri, ate citizen in his farewell letter.
9. Paragraph nine is a long quotation
from Rrdlield. Granting it to be all true
how can the General Government inter

southern State had determined To mur

State Executive and Legislature are par

Just as our State laws are, with no rea

Standards want of appreciation OF th

In paragraph 10 the Standard illus

The last paragraph of this article will
illustrate the aLsurdity OF the whole o
it, Ii is thus:
