Nothing to Fear On tLnt Scsre.
The editor of the Senatobja TIdr|
Uore believes that the course Of r. B.
Hayes evidently tends to the disinte
grafton of our party and the rcsuscita-
ton OF bis own, which is now on the
point of dissolution. BY his appoint
ments, lately made, he seeks to lead
sstray any of our rank and file that can
be induced to swerve from duty to
their country and follow the lead of its
~insinuating enemies. The Tilnt Wdre
suggests that the press hold 4 conyen-
ton at mn early date, 80 as to unite up
on some line of policy to prevent, if
possible, Southern men from joining
the movement Of Hayes.
From present Indications tkere i- but
little, il any, need for The press TO warn
tho people ngeins. the wiles Of Hayes.
If any of our people entertained
thoughts 0f nnitins v+sh him fftvy E-ve
been dispelled by his recent conduct.
Before Hayes inaugural he led the
South 10 believe lie was it's best friend,
bat having one been firmly seated in
the Office to which Tiiden was elected,
he proved false. and not having the
moral courage 10 meet the Louisiana
and South Carolina questions, he shifts
the responsibility to Commissions,
keeps the country in suspense, depress'
es business, and plays with the people
as though they were toys and Timber
Jacks made for his amusement. One
word from Hayes would settle the vexed
questions, but being a weak, puny cow-
ard, he does not utter it for fear of Ct
Tending Blaine, Morton, Or other bloody.
shutters. The people of the South will
not rush wildly into the arms OF such O
man.
We are not in favor Of the 1tdul
Wape'S proposed convention. The
Press Convention will be held in June,
and, if necessary, the question can be
put before it.
