A. HYPOCRITICAL CAMPAIGN.
.Fromthe day of the nomination of
gr. Hayes as the republican candidate
for the presidency the northern stump
roared with dennnciation and defama

and the northern republinan.preSs teeth

meant. the_ restoration: of '.':, the. . .south : : to
power. in the governniPn When the
splendid economies .achievi'd by, the
democratic house of representatives "in
the appropriation bills was. alluded - to,
the argument was thought to be answer
ed by a fling At the "rebel brigadiers:"
When the proud career of, Samuel J.
Tilden as a political reformer was mu:,
tionecl, it was only deemed: necessary to
reply by recklessly alleging the. Demo
cratic statesman's Sympathy V with the
rebellion and the intention of the demo
cracy to pay the "rebel debt."
Thus a false_ issue was, raised which
had the effect, so ceaftily designed by, its
authors, of obscuring in soine degree
those questions of political reform which
alone in reality divided the two principal
party.organizations. Thus some ignorant
people 'and others who ought to have
known better but, did. :not care - to inform
themselves, and still others who were
only too happy to avail themselves of 80
wretched a plea, excused 1 themselves to
'their consciences for voting an eddorse
ment, of the corrupt and scandalous
practices of the chief personages con
nected with the Republican administra
tion, and thus and thus only was Mr.
Hayes enabled to' carry a half dozen
northern States which upon the issue of
administrative reform would certainly
have voted against him. But, what dig
we see, now ? The men who made the
loudest and fiercest proclamation against
southern restoration ; the very men who
waved the red banner ! of ,irreconcilable
inanity to "rebels" and "traitors" from
every stump in the north, the Mortons,
the Logans, 'the
.Ingersolla are utterly
ignored and repudiated by 11r. Hayes.
Nay, a "rebel," one of 'the unreconstruct
ed sort yaw voted for Samuel.J.
is appointed to a position in the cabinet
to which more • political influence at
, taches than to any other in the gift of
the executive, while the attorney-general
of Andrew Johnson, the adiocate of the
southern policy of the . deceased ex-Presi
dent, and that liberal who organized the
Greeley moye,ment'and whose invectives
in the senate against carpet-bag rule
_in
the south will long be 'remembered, are
made the official associates of the ex.
Confedefate. i3eisides Hayes, in his
inaugural address, uneqpiyocally litvors
the restoration of local .self-government
to the southern ,people and goes even so
far as to assert that this must be. accom
plished though_it become - necessary that
party lines_ should be obliterated and
existing political organizations dissolVed.
Now, 0, timarous, narrowininde.d Repub
