1.-THE INSIDE ORGANIZATIONS.

widespread consideration IL comes from respect-
able and influential Democratic source-appears IN
the columns Of an able and gentlemanly edited Demo
cratic journal and merits general attention.
The " inside organization in the Democratic party
80 justly and Indignantly denounced by the Clinton
Democrat, is nothing more nor less than the " Siloel
clique va clique that has. owing to the exqnisi1e
tact and management Of its leaders, combined VAIN
an ample supply of material aid" dominated ior
some years past over the Democratic party OF the
commonwealth of Louisiana with sway as absolute,
and not whit more scrupulous, as that whlch cnaf
acterzed the rule of the latest soyereigns of the
Roman Empire when public spirit and public patriot
ism had fled the land and when money and selfish
ness were the paramount elements that enabled
man to mount to the high places of pomp and power
The complete prostitution of the ballotbox to the
purposes of bribery and corruption fraud and wrong,
insult justice and violation of the primary princ
pie upon which the entire structure of our govern
ment rests, that was commenced in the parish OF
Plaquemines in 1884, and which was as successfully
as UNANIMOUSLY carried out, whereby parish vote OF
three hundred was swelled to thirteen hundred
or thereabouts found fitting termination in 1858 IN
the city Of New Orleans, when an election for mem
bers Of the Legislature and other officers took place
which resulted, afterwards in the elevation OF Mr..
Slidell to the Senate Of the United States.

Of the deadly destroyer as the grass tails before Tue
scythe Of the mower-as the ripe gram yieios 10 .n

We believe the highest vote New orieans i,au eve,
