upon what they thought craftsmanship
and honorable and just dealing then.
And now for the bargaining THAT took
place. These republicans who were in a
position to know the liberal policy toward
the south which Gov. Hayes has decided
upon, and which he has announced clearly
in his letter of acceptance. simply took
occasion to assure these southern demo-
Gratis that what Hayes had thus promised
would certainly be fulfilled; that carpet
bag rule, making clear distinctions between
southern republicans and carpet. bag ele-
ment proper, would not be encouraged :;
that local government or proper home rule
would be, that all who desired to come
into accord with national administration
tor the purpose of completing lasting re-
construction and assuring peace to the
south would be cordially received and that
all the results of the war and all new rights
to the new citizens would be insisted upop
andsprotected.
There was no promise to individuals.
and nothing that approached the character
of bargaining. It was the announcement
OF predetermined policy on the one hand,
and reception of it as the best present
attainable good for the south, on the other"
This is unquestionably the very best de-
tense that can be made by the friends of
the administration.
