WASHINGTON. March 7.-some inside

ton Of all Glasses and all interests.
Senator Keys nomination is a practical
development Of this policy. II is de-

the iirst Southern speech looking to
the Southern pacifcation through con-
Citation and co operation with the Re-
publican Administration. His views rs
to what Hayes might properly do to ef-
feet that result were recently very clearly
expressed in q private letter. which
Hayes found entirely according with his
own sentiments. Hence the offer ola
Cabinet appointment, which was the

Congressman will press Key to decline.
They urge that tbs Presidents pur-
pose in his appointment Is to di-
vido the Southern Democracy and
reconstruct the Republican party in the
South on a basis to command success
fully the union Of the old Wing element
with the blacks. Keys friends reply
that he cares more for Southern peace
and prosperity on peaceful terms than
for party success. Some Republicans

policy fails to justify these Republican
ap~prsheusions, while no was ready TO
take even General Joe Johnston into

acceptable to his Republican friends.
In orier to testify practically his desire
for a sectional reconcilition. he does not
propose to hand over honest Southern

but the President fully understands
Shsrman's views. and does not doubt
his earnest aid in carrying out such rea-

the civil service system as alone can win
its way against the hostility in Congress
and elsewhere. The objections to Me-

Biains's Remarkable speech.
WASHINGTON. March T. Blains's
speech in the Senate to-day created u
general sensation. and Is tonight the
chief topic Of comment in political cir

prot u as an attack on the policy OF
Hayes and rs forsshadowing q serious
split in the Republican party. but the
best informed Republicans say that this
is an error, based on the sraiuitous as
