stolen interview but All 0~utspoken and cordial
statement of the views of President Hayes
on the Virginia debt. The statement was
given to the editor on q recent visit to Wash
ingtOn. Said the President: 81 have moth
ing to conceal or withhold from any one, and
J prefer that my position should be known to
all. l don't assume to nina or control
the votes of the Republicans of Virginia or
seek in despotic way to influence the action
OF federal officers. l would be much sur
prised if the Republicans should ally them
selves with the Re-adjuster in your State.
They should not countenance, or encourage
or touch any proposition or project whatever
that contains even a germ of Reputation.
They must not sacrifice the great principle
involved in the payment of the honest debt
of Virginia, even though to do so would re-
suit in some transient advantage over their
adversaries."
