It was evident tbat she was deep

President Hayes was the candidate

tion of their malignant hostility, n

severe party discipline. They hold

Republicans generally, after the first
shock was over, were disposed to for
give tbe executive action in Liuisi
aua and South Carolina; nay, they
were ready to find excuses in tbe
condition of things whL-b, perhaps,
compelled such action. But tbey
can not approve, tbey can oot fail to
condemn tbe policy which makes in
timates and confidential advisers of
tbe men who, by crime and violence,
overthrew the will ot tbe people of
those states; the policy which bas
smothered to death the Republican
party in all the South; the policy
which now controls all departments
of the administration in favoring the
exponents of the rule of force a
against tbe rule of tic.
Republicans approve ot civil ser
vice, but ibey do not approve the
constant violation of those rules in
tbe interest of friends of tbe Presi
dent. They dt not approve the re
moval of Jones, in Chicago, in an in
complete term of office, without cause,
to accommodate Win. Henry Smith.
Tbey do not approve tbe removal of
Chester Arthur, under like circum
stances, to accommodate Mr. Evans.
They do not approve" the removal of
Dowling from tbe post-office at To

commodate Stanley Matthews. Tbey
d not approve the nnrnioati'a of
Fitzsimmous to accommodate Sena

tbe removal of Johnson, as Revenue
Collector of Kentucky, with bis splen

be filled by promotion. Tbey do doc
approve ibe ni,miaation of Hnry W.
Hilliard, to accommodate some un
known person, no? withstanding tbe
disreputable record attached to the
man.
They do not approve any "concili
ation" which strengthens the Demo
cratic party at tbe expense of tbe
Republican party. Tbey do not ap
prove of the arempt to satisfy the
hunger of the Democrats for office
by even occasional crumbs for tbe
appetite is insatiable and tbe five
loaves and the two Gstes are f lim
ited capacity. In short, they do not
approve of any coarse which abolish
es distinction between right and
wrong, between faith and treason,
between a Union man and a rebel,
between Republican and Democrat
And they do not approve these
things' nor from any hostility to
President Hayes, but" because they
believe tbat Democracy is a corse
and a ruin, that its success will be
fatal to the best interest of tha coon
try, and tbat a well orgaaizeJ, thor
oughly equipped, solid Republican
party is tbe ouly barrier to that sac
cess the only ba!wa-k of tbe repub
lic. To take away any no no a of
that Republican strength is to dimin
ish tbe safeguard of tha aat'oa. To
aid actively in tha increase of the
Democratic strength is a crime
against the country.
Therefore it is that it is high time
for the President to cocsider with

ties are often violated.
