The de- tafls of tho proposed rules were left malnly to the discrotion of the Committee, It was un- deratood that one rule shall provido that the recommendations of members of Cougress shall NOT DE NEGARDED OR CONSIDENAD, The basis of this rule s the theory that, Inos- much as Congressmen constitute the lndicting and Impeaching power In tha event of malad- minlatration under the Constitution, 1t conuot be presumed that thoy will bo zealous In fudict- ing or impenching thelr appointees, and that conecquently the clvil scrvico can be better ad- ministered it appolntments are made by other crsons.

In his insugural he reafirmed this declsion, and in his Cabinet nominations he gave it addltlonsl ~ emphasis, The ma- chine men were alarmed. There had been 8 great deal of carnest volitical work of a certaln sort dome n the swamps of Florda, in the white scttlements in Oregon, and In the Loulsiana hayous. The victors were ready to demand the spoils, Some of them may have vaguely read the letter of acceptance, but fts principles pever rested on thelr minds. It' wes. to them a meaninglees document, with no ereater import or purpose thau the platitudes of party platforms; but tho emphasls of the {naugural showed that the let- ter of acceptance was the utterance of ou carncst, henest man, For the first time this conviction then dawned upon the minds of the political workers who look upon politics only ns the means for personal agerandizement, and- who regord success in a pollitical contest in the light of o military conques . Murmurings soon began to be heard long snd loud. Even the Democrats sald, % the mau is i carnest.” Tho visfons of victory began toap pear like dissolving views. The disappolnted place-hunters, disturbed at the prospective Ypss of overything, sounded the alarm in the lobhies.

This statement In the (naugural has offended tho men.in pulitics who scem to cons{der that, with tho fullllment of any such devlaration, thelr occupation {s gone. The argnment which was mare openty used was, that the bloody-shirt Issuu would bu sban- doneil; that the Southern Republicans were to be deserted; that the intelligent white people of the South were to be interested fn the local Btate Governments; that tho Republican party must etand by the **herole, fecble remnant of the Republicans between the Potomae and the Rio tirande,” This wis sald with the alr of men realsting the nccomplished facts of a lowg-cstabe MNshed tyranny, who were goaded to desperation by years of misaceds. These things wero sald of thoe polley of o President who, at that time, had not announced to the Scuate any commuul- cation of any character; who had not declarod tho cholce of his confldentlal ndvisers; who had stated no detail by which the naturo of his pro- posed Bouthiern policy could be judged. This great outbreak ngainst President Hayes, this “sounding of the trnmpets In the gloom,” this cry that the féicnds of freedom and the Unlon should rully to protect the brave Unfon men of the South, was an act In a melodrama— was @ leap fu.thodark, President Hayes has only sakd, and only ‘means, that Southern Ke- publicans and Southern Democrats, and Sonth- urn inen alike everywhere, shall bo protected in. thele lves, liberty, and the pusult of hopplness, as well from the nssaults of the bulldozing White-Liner as from the corruption of carpet-bagism, 1o has slmply sald that, throughout the Amecrican Kepublie, everywhere, there must be freo speech, froo aclools, fres ballots, free men. Yet, before s singie _dotall of lis policy ls aunounced, Presi- dent Hayes has been assailed. -« ‘There aro storica that disappolnted ambition; fallure to sceure desired Cabinet appointments, wore prominent reasons for this mutiny, Iknow not how true such statements may be, but it 13 cerlaln that the Vflm’[}lfll opponentsto President Haves' polley come from States whosa poli- ticlans believe that their **claima ' haye been disregarded In the ormanization ot tha Cabinct.
