ciined To submit to a formal interview.
However. in An informal way. during
the course IF \ cor conversation, he said
that The confessions were in no manner
a surprise tn him. He intimated that
legal proceedings, based upon them,
would tie Instituted, but not iminedi
ately, although he could not state a
precise form would be adop'ed. In re
gard tn his views on the Presidential
question. he quoted from his speech to
the Democratic ate Convention OF
February 10th, saying. that while it j.
perfectly true hat the title Of Hayes to

less true that Imperative duty demands
of us that fitting punishment be visited
upon the public criminals through
whose ha2itious crimes that judgment
was obtained. Mr.. Hendricks de
clined to talk more fully upon the mat
Ter, partly because it had not received
much recent constipation from him,
but more especially because he had OF
late abandoned the discussion Of poll
tics.

make his position intolerable to HIM.
Some people begin to think they may
succeed in this, but the majority think
HAYES can not he gnt out of the W hite
House before March. 1881, except by
death or a squad of soldiers. The pub
