No More Democratic support to COnklBag.
fWpshinpton POstI

We feel authorized to say that Mr.. Conk-
ling will not again be sustained by any of the
Democrats in the Senate on any issue he may
make with Hayes upon questions OIL Executive
patronage. In fact we have been personally
informed of the determination of those
Democrats who sustained the New York
Senator in the recent struggle to vote here
after to confirm the nominations OF Mr.. Hayes
unless specific cause affecting the interests OF
not be confirmed. This, we may say, is the
deliberate purpose Of the Democratic party in
the Senate. 1t Is forced upon the Democrats
by the malevolent designs which the Republic
can politicians have developed toward the
South; not, indeed, because there is any fear
that any thing which has been brought about
by Mr.. Hayes in that section could be undone,
but because it was not deemed logical for
Democrats to aid and comfort In any way
men who base their hopes upon keeping alive
the hatred of Northern people toward those oil
ling has himself and his friends, like Ed
munds Blaine and Bill Chandler to thank.
The Democratic party in the Senate and in
the House will not bother itself about the
sauabbles of Republican factions, but it will
be found firm and solid against anybody or
any party which seeks to revive the curses OF
niggerism and carpet-bagging. The Radicals
who oppose Mr.. Hayes in the Senate lose no
opportunity to declare that they intend max
ing "the South" the leading issue; therefore
the Democratic party has determined 70 90
everything in it's power to cripple them. Hay-
ing arraigned themselves rs the enemies OF
civilization and the scourges OF mankind,
these malevolent Radicals can expect no
mercy from the Democratic party Mr..
HAYES will be sustained by the Democrats In
the Senate as against Mr.. Conkling.
