CHICAGO, Nov.13.-The Tribune
Washington special has a report G
an important interview with til
President, in which the latter in
measure confesses the inadequac,
of his Southern policy. He say
substantially that the time for dis
cussion is past, and it is now de
termined that vigorous action !
imperative. The Cabinet reache,
this determination several day
ago, and has lately been consider
ing the duty of the Attorney. Gen
eral in the premises. The Southern
policy was inagurated with al
earnest desire to conciliate ant
round off the sharp angles and softer
the asperities of the political strife
Nobody will say that an attemp
was not made to most earnestly
carry out this policy. The Presi
dent said: "Of the personal ant
partisan sacrifices which I made In
this effort, and of the consequent
Interruptions of certain relations
which had previously existed be.
tween myself and some of my sup
porters, 1 have nothing TO say jus,
now, but 1t appears that the leaders
who made those pledges did not
exert themselves to keep them OF
were unable to do so. In fact,
am reluctantly forced to admit
that fair election, with free
suffrage for every voter in the
South, is an impossibility under
the existing condition of things.
1t is not because the Republican
party appears as sufferers in these
results that 1 complain. 1t is
because free suffrage and freedom
of political rights have been inter.
fered with that / am called upon
to take cognizancc of these dis.
turbances. If the Republicans had
committed these outrages upon
Democrats, my duty would be the
same. 1t will not do for me or any
official to treat these questions
otherwise than in an bipartisan
way. The partisan press will nat
urally take u partisan view Of the
case, and | will be held to account

that great crimes have been COM

not think that the Southern leade rs
who promised TO protect the blacks
are responsible for these crimes.
Hampton, for example, tried re.
peatedly to repress the vio-

he has made speeches deprecating

matter, he will be speedily replaced

these cases."
