DON'T IRRITATE THE OLD SORE.


judge Whitaker denied new trial
- Anderson, and his conviction is an
accomplished fact. This entire pro
cecLing Is an appropriate travesty upon
sectional Cancellation. President Hayes
hiss wisely decided not to interfere
with tIc pending prosecution Of the
members ot the returning board of
LOUISIANA His intermcddling would
be virtual revocation of his declared
policy OF nOn-interference with the
local affairs Of the States. The South
unhesilatingly condemned the fraud
perpctrated by that board; but when
Nichols was recognized by Hayes as
the rightful Governor of Louisiana,
it was publicly understood apd gener-
ally conceded by the Democracy that
recriinination and strife should cease,
and that the members of that board
and others of the faction should not
be prosecuted. This course was de-
cided upon because the South needed
rest and tho country could not stand
the strain of further sectional discon-
tent.
What was the result Of this paciica-
tionY Mr.. Hayes through the wise
liberalism of his administration was
last robbing ultra partyism of its
poisonous sting, and the country COM
menccd to feel the rcassuring flow Of a
healthier interstate good will. Hayes
has antagonized the extreme partisans
in both political parties. The Repub-
lican party was rapidly disintegrating
in the presence of his avowed pacific
course, and to the extent this democrat
ization increased it was evident that
the Democracy was vindicated and
strengthened This reign Of peace,
based upon u patriotic adjustment OF
an angry question. disturbed the hopes
and future prospects of both Demo
cratic and Republican Bolrrbons.
Hence il Was that Hewitt and Blaine,
under the leadership of the New York
Sun. confederated together to make
war upon Mr. Hayes al every step in
the development Of his peaeeti'i policy.
These Influences instigated Blair 10
introduce those impeachment resohl-
aions in the Maryland legislature; bat
the good sense and patriotism OF the
Ans~ican people condemned both the
schcnter and his work.
These Louisiana indictments arc the
direct resultant effect OF thissame anti
HAYES conspiracy. Those artful dis-
,turbcrs al she public peace proP0sc
through these legal proceedings to
nn,leruinc Hayes right to the Prcsi-
.dency aud place ia position certain
