Es"w rr"sihen. Hayes Regards II.
NEW YORK, May 2Oht.-The
Ianles's Washington special says
that n gentleman in the confidence
of the President said last evening
that the President, while main
tanning his natural equanimity of
temper, was not inclined to look
lightly on the situation. He did
not think it was a matter to treat
with indifference. Tracing the
movement from its birth, the Pres.
ident has been struck with its
rapid growth. He points to the
significant circumstance that such
men as Alexander II. Stephens are
already powerless to stay the eau
Gus mandates. Whatever the re-
suit of the Investigation, the Presi-
dent regards the action of Demo-
Gratis in supporting the investiga.
ton scheme as ungrateful. The
President is fully alive to the ex-
igencie3 that may arise and will |
see TO it that the pbulic peace is
maintained and the laws enforced |
at Nbnfnunr Ia 70
follow the policy already marke ed
out by his administration and will
take no backward step.
