Alexander H. stephens Of Georgia,
member of ths present Congress, and
70 elected to the next. has been inter-
viewed at WsshiogtoR relative TO the
Presidents southern policy. and is
credited with saying:
THE foundation principles IF true
Jeffsrsonian Democracy, which are the
basis OF all CONSTITUTIONAL kberty,. are
law aud order and the enforcement of
the laws. Mr.. Hayes has done nothing
contrary to this. so far as I am in.
formed. aud cannot see. Why Demo-
ecats should ind fault with any Execu-
tive for carrying out their own funda.
mental principles. Mr.. Hayes has only,
as understand. undertaken to carry
cut the laws, and If Congress has made
bad law it is not the Presidents
fault. II is his duty to- execute ii, aud
ii he don't do it. he is not fit for the
place. Whether it is q moonshiner or
buildozer. or anybody else, il the law
has been yioiatedit il the Presidents
duty to enforce it. ''aaai q e'e ts

this fact prove conclusively that the
people of the South are not as much
opposed to the present Admin istration
IS the telegraph reports purporting to
be from that section indicator Steph-
ems actually endorses the Adm inistra.
sion. and says that, Hayes is aoing
nothing more than his duty in execu-
hng the laws; yet hs is elected without
opposition from Congressional Dis.
srict in which there is no Republican
organization. This fact makes it ap.
pear that many SO called southern dis
patches are colored by the Associated
Press agents. 10 keep. sectionalism alive.
