Politicians at Washington very generally failed to realize that the
advent of President Hayes marked the dismissal of the issues of war
and reconstruction. They regarded as an episode what turned out to
be the close of an era. They saw, indeed, that public interest in
the old issues had waned, but they were confident that this lack of
interest was transient. They admitted that the emotional fervor
excited by the war and by the issues of human right involved in its
results was somewhat damped, but they believed that the settlement
of those issues was still so incomplete that public interest would
surely rekindle. For many years the ruling thought of the
Republican party leaders was to be watchful of any opportunity to
ply the bellows on the embers. Besides genuine concern over the way
in which the negroes had been divested of political privileges
conferred by national legislation, the Republicans felt a tingling
sense of party injury.
