New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-09-22
POLITICAL GLEANINGs.

The Republican parish committee OF ST.
John the Baptist, were in session when the
Hon. Peter Harper, OF st. Charles, pre-
sented himself in their hall with a copy of
| the New Orleans REPUBLICAN, in his hand,
containing an account of the Governors
| railroad ride after PinchbacR.
The Republicans of St. John own a beau
tiful twelve-pound howitzer, which they
bought about month ago to supply the
I place of their old gun which cave in of
the leyee had. carried to the muddy depths
Of the father Of waters.
Immediately upon the perusaI of War
moths victory three rousing cheers were
given for him and salute of six guns fired,
one for each ward of the parisho in his
HONOR
From this fact it may be judged that ST..
John the Baptist E'goes for WarInoth. y
This is does with vim, earnestness and
unanimity most astonis hing, yet gratifying
to his friends. But st. John does not go
for fusion Probably not dozen r epub-
Heans nor as many Democrats but would
cheerfully support him for the Governor
ship; certainly there are not so many who
give cheerful support to the 1IcEnery
ticket Fusion has fallen stiIl-born there,
and while nearly every Republican could
have been carried for Liberal ticket with
a Republican as its standard bearer, they
are now to man ranged on the Custom
house side, great as is their dislike of the
candidates they are thus forced to support.
There are other parishes ruled by large
Republican majorities in like con ditions
We have the assurance of leading Repubs
icans that Hon. Henry Demas, one of the
best and most conservative colored men in
the State, and a staunch and unhiDching
Warmotn man, will be returned to the
House of Representatives. For the Senate,
the choice of the St. John Republicans lies
between Peter Harper, of st. Charles and
T. B. Stamps of Jefferson TWhich will be
the lucky recipient Of theig votes is not yet
decided
The Democrats hope to gain access2ons Of
colored voters through the influence which
Governor Warmoth will bring to bear upon
them in the canvass His personal appeals
would unquestionably have great influence
with our colored citizens under ordinary
circumstances; but what eloquence, argue
ment or love for their old chieEtain can
gloss over the fact that McEnery was but
few short weeks ago the conspicuous and
honored fgure-head Of procession which
fannted in the teeth of colored men its
motto Of ''white mans supremaey?@
How. too, can General Campbell advoo
cate before them the support of men who
have again and again contemptuously re.
jected his nomination for place on their
Sc!1et! The Democrats hare deliberately
built ZIP a barrier over which the cofored
people ocannot climb to their aido VAL
another defeat teach them wisdom
We near it rumored that Lieuten
Governor Pinchback will follow the course
taken by the Governor, with the view of
counteracting any anti-Repubiicap sentio
ment which the latter may create.
There are all sorts of rumors current OF
and coalitions to be formed
upon parish nominations. That straight
out Democratic ticket (under whatever
name it may be christened) will be put in
the field by the old Last Ditch ring is GER
tain; that it will have rough and difficult
road to travel is equally fixed facto That
the Republicans are Hberally disposed, and
10 make respectability, worth |
and the possession Of public confidence the |
sine q,sd non IN their focal candidates, Is a
further calculated to make the
ringists taste the bitterness OF disappoiut |
m3nto
Leading Liberals urge tho immediate
nomination of parish and city ticket, and
by thus getting first in the field use against |
the Democrats the arguments the latter
employed to force Liberal support of their |
united State ticket, viz: that their pomi. |
nees are good men, hold to the same prin. |
eiples, etc. and therefore not to support |
them is to give aid and comfort If not vic !
tory, to the enemy,
AS heretofore stated in the REPUBLICAN,.
the CQstomhCuse now seems to hold the de.
cisive influence in the struggle,
