He Considers the President i'm Opposition
to the Republican Party.
NEW YORK, Dec. Ex-senator Blaine, 10 an
interview at St Louis yesterday, said it was the
duty of President Hayes to carry out the wish
es of the Republican party, but he had wan
dered from Republicanism in his Southern pol
icy, and he is in apsrty view in opposition to
the Republican party, SO far as his administra-
ton goes and it is absurd to suppose there will
be any harmony between Hayes and the party
as long as he pursues his present course
There is not any great division of sentiment
in the party on the Southern policy. The
Southerners are lying low until they get on top
They lead the Democracy, and should their
party get into power in 1880, they will show a
hand that will surprise that class of Republi-
cans who believe reconciliation complete. The
Southern people are not in fact reconciled; they
are playing part, and their purpose is to get
possession of the government and rule it as
they did before the war, and reconstruction
will be set aside.
In regard to Mexico, he deprecated any war,
and said fight with Mexico means nothing
less than acquisition of more territory in the
Southwest, and this means more Southern
states. We want more people, not more terri
