Southern States to the late rebels; the dis
banding, as of dangerously disturbing ele-
ments, of the Republican organizations in
those States; the virtual recognition of the
right of the southerners to exercise unhin-
dered and perpetual rule over the States form
ing the late Confederacy and to weld it into
solid political mass; the recognition of the ku
Klux governments of Louisiana and South
Carolina in face of the returns the introduc-
ton into the Cabinet of men whose notoriety
Republican party; and the humiliation of all
Grants appointees who are still retained in
Office by putting upon them terms of degrade
ton and practical disfranchisement, all these
things come to be considered in connection
with the matters related in the subj oined.
A Washington special to the Chicago Journal
says: "The statement made on Monday night
at the meeting of citizens of Ohio who are hold
ing Federal offices here occasions much com
nent upon the administration Republicans
who have approved the Presidents attempt to
divorce politics from civil service. The meet
ing was held at the residence of Sixth Auditor
McGrew, and by invitation large number of
office-holders from Ohio and other States were
present General Grosvenor, speaker of the
Ohio House of Representatives, spoke and
said the condition of affairs in Ohio was very
critical, and that there was grave danger that
tine Democrats would carry the State. In this
emergency he had been delegated by the State
Committee to come to Washington and urge
all citizens of Ohio to go home and vote in
October, and to raise money to defray the ex-
penses of the campaign. All the speakers
present urged the Importance of every voter
casting his ballot. 1t was stated that the
movement had the approval of the President,
and that the Presidents order would not be
enforced against those designing to participate
in the present campaign. Many clerks de-
clined to contribute money. There is much
criticism of this meeting" 1t has all along
been evident that the order of the President
prohibiting Federal officials from taking part
in the concerns of their State and National
Government could not be made consistent
with any recognized rule of executive action
or any legitimate function of executive au-
thority. Moreover, it has never been self
applied. Wherever there have been any State
conventions of the party, North South, |
there have been seen and felt the partisans of
the President All through the South the
Presidents hand has been seen discouraging |
any further attempt to sustain the Republican |
-, T6a off1 g +lo&,, H., had
it dared to differ with the feudal barons who
took their States out of the Union and into
the Confederacy. In Hayes's eyes it was a
greater sin to be carpet Dagger than Ku
Klux klansman or a White liner In Iowa,
when the Republican convention was held,
Secretary McCrary was there trying to manip-
ulate the platform and the nominations In
Ohio the hand of the President was SO plainly
to be seen that schism in the ranks of the
party is the result. What makes the act the
more offensive is that it is with the Indepen-
dants, the Greeley insurgents that the Presi-
dent operates. These are his advisers and
right hand men. And now, in order that the
may receive a quasi endorse
ment in Ohio, the Presidents chief friends
and advisers are urgently drumming up every
Buckeye in Washington and renewing the old
tactics of assessment, absence leave etc.
The fact is the Presidents order, based on
the most transparent sort of political imprac-
ticability, is showing its radical absurdity. 1t
is simply preposterous and Utopian, if hon
sstly applied; hypocritical and replete with
when construed as the President
md his friends have construed it. The policy
If contrasting this administration with Grants,
nit or miss, is illustrating the more than half
malicious weakness and folly of President
