was originated, not primarily t" pre-

of the results of its existence, but t"
show to the administration that the

There has been a great deal OF COS
SIP about the change made 10y Mr.
HAYES in his holiday excursion. IL"
intended to visit some OF the South
ern cities. but propah(y lie expects il"
grand reception in New York one
that will impress upon the country
! the fact that Senators ConklinS and
! Blaine do not control the whole
| North. Unless this is the reason vt
the change, am unable to find a
good one. On the one han" w'c'c
the genial skies and uu,iva'cd climate
of the South, new to the distinguish
ed party, AND IA h"a'ltclt welcome
from people upon whom he had con
frrcd the great blessing Of self. GOV.
crumcnt, while on the other hand
were nothing but the >lnshy streets
and windy weather of New York, and
an interested and hypnc,itical ova'
ton from ambitious rartzans. Mr.
Hayes does not yet discriminate hc'
tween his northern support, wheel
in the main comes from ambitious
and selfish political tr;mmcrs, an'
the purely non partisan regard eX
hibitcd for him in the South. II
truth, he dorSnnt seem to nndcrStan'
the feeling of either section. In th'
state of ignorance, and unwilling t.
trust himself entirely to any class "
citizens, he has committed th""Sah'
iudisc,ctiuns and Inconsistencies. AM
seems bound to continnt doing so.
There is Il great difference hrt"er
