was placarded with posters, containing a
letter of Mr. Tilden, in which he declar-
ed that, If elected President, he would
veto any bill to pay the rebel war claims
! suppose similar posters were put up in
Bucyrus. The Democrats said: Now
Tilden has declared against paying the
rebel claims; why does not Hayes do the
same2' The reply was. that there was
no nececessity for any such declaration.
Hayes was Republican. and the views
of the party on this question were too
well known to need any explanation or
pledges. Hayes will have a rebel major
ity in both branches OF Congress, by his
policy" before his term shall have ex
pired. If this rebel Congress pass a bill
to pay the rebel claims, will he dare veto
it2
The New York Tribune, a most ardent
admirer and supporter Of Hayes, said
only few days ago when giving advice
to the Democrats to support Hayes:
1t ought TO be plain to the meanest Demo-
cratic com pr-hensiDn that IL President Hayes
Is brokrn down. the principal sufferer will be
Constructed States all that Mr.. Tilden could
have done and all that they have ever asked.
Now put it to Mr.. Hopley to say
whether Hayes is not acting in bad faith
Suppose he had told in July last, what
he would do If elected to the Presidency.
Would he have received a single electo-
raj vote? Would the editor Of the Jour
nal have supported him2
If he had been an honest man, he
would have said in his letter of accept
ance:
II elected President, l will select four or five
| OF my Cabinet from among The men who work
ID aud voted against the Republican 'arty and
did all they could to destroy the party, Ouly
four years ago. one of my Cabinet will be "A
rebel General, who fought four years to destroy
/ this SGOveTnment--nOt "A rebel who has repent
ell, or admitted that he was wrong, but one
/ for the rebel Democracy. 4 will, u necessary to
my success, auihorize Charlss Foster aud Sutn-
| ley Matthew's to contract with the rebels to let
/ me in, and will turn over the entire south tO
their control. IL necessary tO effect this. I will
send u commission" TO Louisiana to brib
enOugh Republican members Of the legislature

es OF the supreme C''uri by appointing hnn to

the rebel rih. cluOs take violent possession o.
the office o. Governor, although Packard may
/ have one thuusaud more votes Than have.
II he had thus honestly told the truth.
would not Ohio have been in the condi
ton in which Hayes's particular friend,
Boynton, finds it to-day-that he could
not carry a single county in the State2
A short time ago a correspondent OF
the Baltimore Sun interviewed President
Hayes. and here is how he admitted that
he has disregarded the vote OF the peo-
pie OF Louisiana:
At this point his visitor asked him IL he did
not believe the Republicans had carried IOui-
siana at Ihe last election. The President replied
| in Tthe affirmative. "Rut," said his visitor.
/ do IL again. II we do carry any o. these south
ern States they won't let us have them" But
| the President did not look through Ile same
speclacles as his visitor, and reiterated his be-
iiei In the glorious results which are to follow
| his policy.
There is only one more point Of your
article to which | wish to reply this
week. You say: at does not appear,
g. That any personal harm has come to
any one under the execution OF his
policy thus far" | advise you TO read
the papers. Did you ever hear of E. V.
Smalley, one of the editors of the New
York Tribune? He is no irresponsible
scribbler. He has been in Mississippi
and thus gives one Of the glorious results
Of my policy" in giving the rebels 10
cal self government:
