In further pursuance Of the bargain made
with the southern Democrats the new Ad
ministration has adopted so-called south

announced principles of the Republican
party second which has been carried out
by the abandonment of all Federal inten.

The letter is thenceforward mainly devot-
ed to a recapitularion of President Hayes
acts and utterances in the line of the So
called southern policy. Mr. Chandler saws
among other things: A. the policy of the

the President in letter of May IL, grant

more certain, the policy of appointing as
District Attorneys and Marshals men agree

is, Democrats-was determined upon. The
appointment Of NofthFup as District At

TO W. 4. HUFF, on this, is also reviewed at
length. Mr.. Chandler in the concluding
portion OF his address uses the following
language:
s'ln view of these lamentable facts, it is
the duty of true Republicans to take prompt
and courageous action. Silence is a crime
acquiescence and inaction are political
death. Can the Republican party, OF heroic
achievements, be bound to an Administra-
ton which is not a free agent, but is bound
by a bargain TO General Gordon, L. Q. C.
Lamar, Wade Hampon and other southern
Democrats, now in hgh office, only through
the blood of murdered Republicans. Does
not every voter in tie land know that Hayes
ami Packard were eected simultaneously,
and held by the sane title. and that when
Hayes abandoned AID trampled down Pack
ard he put an irremovable stain upon his
own titlei The Republican party has lived
long, and survived nany assaults and many
treasons, only because it has been a party
founded upon high principals, animated by
lofty sentiments, courageously acting up 10
noble convictions. ii il now disgraces its
record and endorses or fails 10 repudiate
the Hayes surrender, its voters will leave it
by thousands, its days are numbered, and
i; will die deserved and an unhonored
death"
