Our neiel,bor Of the Delta seems 70 he some |
What puzzlea, 70 know npon what grounds we adj /
vs,eate the eiocsion of she Citizens tcket IA Pre-,
s,a,,o &, an siclscf oI Tho sccalled Americans
~ have 20 make our reasons plain, in
ssg.,a, nrerious articles; but, for the enlighten-
MINK of osr neighhor, VA recur to the subject
c sio not tank our position Il inconsistent with
HAT taken By us in former contests We confess !
ia The ruth Of the Deita's declaration that last
year The Crescent thought the extraordinary pros
perity Of the city was an OFFSET to arguments in
favor Of change 10 our municipal administra-
ton. But we do not agree that VIC now think
iust lie REVERSE on the contrary We think now
lust as we did then. The so-caled 8 American Y
ticket does make o change IN our municipal Ad-
miniatsatcn--a much more radical change than
the Citizens ticket does. If The Delta will COM
pare the two tickets together. it will see that the
Citizens's ticket adheres more closely to the old
Delta will be obliged to admit this, and hence
cannot sustain IFS impeachment Of our con-
ssistency. III Is the so-called american ticket
which proposes q change in Our municipal Ad-
minist fation.n The Citizens ticket adheres as
closely as circumstances would permit 70 the old
Administration, under which We claim the pros
perity and welfare of the city were faithfully
guarded and promoted.
The Delta has X heard no personal objection to
the Citizens ticket and implies its belief that
none can be urged. But II says that there seems
- be prevailing impression that they come before
the public on false pretences; that they claim to
have been nominated by the citizens, when in fact
i they were nominated BY only half dozen gentle
| men; that they assume to be s Independent Il 6
4 party, and yet al belong to one particular party
that they ask the support Of the members Of other
political organizations, to which they have not
granted d single representative on their uck
10 which We reply. that if such i the prevailing
impression the prevailing impression does the
Citizens ticket great injustice. The Citizens
ticket IS before the people upon the endorsement
Of large and respectable assemblage OF the cti-
zena of New Orleans, irrespective Of party which
convened 1T Odd Fellows Hall one night last week
By that meeting the Citizens ticket was cordially
endorsed and commended to popular approval.
The ticket then is not before the public on false
prctences but upon The public connendation
ct popular assembly. That II is not regarded as
ID any sense party ticket Is proved by the TACT
that some 81 The most prominent citizens Of New
Orleans, of ILL parties and divisions and snb-divi-
sions Of parties, gave 1t their emphatic approval
at Odd Fellows Hail. Democrats, Wigs, Ameri-
cans and gentlemen acknowledging no party ale
glance and belonging to political organization,
sustain the ticket upon the broad and correct prn
cpIe that they believe its success will better pro
mote tho prosperity Of the city and the social inter
ests Of the people than the other ticket which IS
before them. IL
Tie Citizens ticket, IT il true, does task the
support II other political organic ations than the
