President Hays forecasts Grant as future White House successor
The interview records President Hayes endorsing Ulysses S. Grant as a likely nominee and eventual president, citing improved sectional temperaments and a plan to restore good feeling. Evarts and others reportedly echo Grant’s potential future value while a new army grade for Grant is dismissed as unnecessary. The piece also notes a fresh wave of the negro exodus from the South to Indiana, with community reactions split along party lines and concerns about competition with Black labor.
