WHAT THE FIGHT Is ABOUT
The fight of the factions here Is for the control OF
the state Executive Republican Committee, which
committee appoints all suD-cOmmittees throughout
the State and thus virtually controls the State elec
ton in 1872. The present State Central Committee
are, majority Of them, opposed to Governor War
moths denomination, while Warmoth, OF course
wants it. He consequently goes for the State Com
mttee, and having III his hands the appointing
power and removing power Of nearly every officer
in the State, from the Supreme Bench down to police
Jurors and constables, he has put on the screws all
through the State, broken up all ward clubs opposed
to him by aid OF the police and city laborers, and
carries everything with high hand.
wARMOTHs FORCE.
His force consists Of the Office holders throughout
the State, whose name Is legion.
DUNN's FORCE.
He IS opposed by Oscar J. Dunn, the colored Lieu
tenant Governor and President OF the Senate;
George Carter Speaker OF the House; James f. Casey,
Collector Port and the entire Custom House in.

wARMorH's INTENTIONS.
It is understood that If Warmoth succeeds he will
form coalition with the city democrats the country
democrats having refused TO join I'M, so as TO
traize the opposition or the colored element In his
own ranks, and Will make good fight for re-elec-
tlon with the enormous patronage placed In his
hands by incOnsderate legislation
DUNN's INTENTIONS.

suspended soon as the Legislature meets, and the
Dunn, Packard Grant and casey party Will have 1t
all their own way and Will undoubtedly carry the

THE CHANCE FOR THE DEMOCRACY
Whichever way the nght ends magnificent OPEN
ing Is made for the democrats: but unhappily they
have neither brains common sense nor leaders in
louisiana and their chief organs OF the press have
all joined IN the radical legislative corruption and
sold out their principles for private emolument
