WAsuIVaTON, Nov. 4.-There is every rea-
son to believe that President Hayes was cor
rectly reported in tho interview with the edi-
tor Of the National Republican Of this city,
and photographed the Enquirer last night The
pressure which has been brought to bear by
the staIwalts has boon too much for MN.
The stawarts, and those who profess TO
speak Of absolute knowledge, say that the
President is glad Of the opportunity when
now presents itself for him to get back into
the good graces of his party, Ever since Inc
recent canvass began it has boon DING dolgHd
would convince him that the South
ern Democrats, while ,aytsh IN
professions, had no intention TO
the ballot except in such u direction as they
chose II should be exercised. The President
was quito apatbetic during tho canvass, and
had firm conviction that Coy. Nichols and

people to q FREQ ballot should not be inter

Campaign Committee outWitted him at last.
advance of the election that the best thing
for the Republican party would be that the
Southern Statcs-at all events the Old Cotton
States should send solid Democratic dele
CATION to Congress-; Hence the leaders made
that the hue and cry OF solid South, with
which The North is to be bug-a-booed, should
be shorn Of any of its proportions by break
ing any Of the delegations. Appeals
were made to tho committee by Southern
candidates, but in vain. Congressman Raj
ney, OF South Carolina, instead of remaining
OF home and making personal canvass,
loaied about Washington, beseeChing Repub-
lican aid, which was denied him. Dol. Tom
Keogh. chairman of The Republican State
Committee Of North Carolina, came here re-
peatedly for assistance, and he was even de-
MED printed speeches. No one was more sur
prised than the Republican lenders when it
was developed that they had elected two Con-
gresmen IN North Carolina. They were even
disappointed. They had made up their minds
that they could not carry the House any way,
and It was much better to have q solid South
with which to Whoop up campaign music for
1880 than to gain an isolated Southern dis
trict hero and there, which would not, after
all, enable them to get control Of the lower
house, and would dampen somewhat the cry
Acting under these tactics, of course the
South was solid. There was no canvass
only on one side. When the result be-
came known the second part of the, plot
was consummated. 1t was that Hayes should
again be importuned, and be besought by oil
the ties he over felt for the party to unite with
its leaders in making vigorous crusade
against the Democracy, under the old banner
OF ensaguned line1, HAaaGGl- Chandler and Don
Gam efoh, aided by Secretary Sherman as the
reach the presidential ear. They have per-
formed this duty. 1t was represented to
Hayes that tho party, feeling flushed with
success, would gladly welcome him back to
the fold, and that with him rested the grand
est opportunity of his life to again reunite Il
party which his Southern policy at one time
threatened TO destroy. Then coyly they
dwelt on the ngratitude Of the South, built
up imaginary outrages as diaphanous as the
Eliza Pinkston story pledged him tho united
support of The Republicans In both branches
of Congress, and tho vortebral column of
President Hayes gave way, and he fell into
the trap.
The next stop is yet to be carried out. 1t
contemplates the arrest Of scores Of Demo-
Gratis in the South under tho general election
laws, and their prosecution. This not 50
much with an object to secure convictions as
to nilame public sentiment at tho North.
This will be followed up In tho House Of Rep
resentatves with inilammntory speeches by
the Radical leaders, tho hope being that sec
tlonal debate can BIO sprung which will last all
the session. Already the Attorney General
Is at work preparing information against those
who, it is alleged, prevented fair and peace
full expression ut the ballot-b0x, and in the
end may lead, and will most probably, to tho
removal Of every officer in the South who
holds Federal position which involves tho
