OPELOUSAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER Z, 1872.
CRIsP's TROUPE.-The manager of
Crisp's Dramatic Troupe, now perform
ing every night at the Court House here,
has our thanks for tickets. The show
bills indicate that they will perform four
nights this week, and if they receive the
proper encouragement they will prOba-
blv play four nightsnext week. Wedid
not attend the frstnight, whichprevents
IL going more into detail and giving
this troupe of experienced and able ac-
tors a more extended notice.
We notice that several papersthathad
ND the Liberal State ticket, have pulled
" it down, and now support no ticket.
We hoped just after the fusion was eff
fected that everything was settled; but
if the fusion ticket loses all Republican
support and the support of the State ad-
m~inistratiOn, it will be doomed to de-
feat; for as the Bee has truly said, no
ticket can succeed in this State at the
coming election with both the National
and State administrations against it.
A call was published in the Courier,
by the Parish Democratic Committee,
for q nominating convention to be held
here on the gath of last month. The
convention was a failure; no II from
the country attended it. Last Saturday
another call was published fora cOnven-
ton to be held here next Saturday. 1t
was published before it waskn0wn here
that the fusion ticket was adopted, and
we shall defer further remarks until we
learn whether this convention is determ-
ined ON making nominations.
Col. Blanton Duncan's Convention is
now in travail at Louisville.
The Colonel gives it as his experience
that 1T is laborious work to attempt the
reorganization of a party, and to create
it and the necessary machinery-fOr two
months, every thought of my brain has
been monOpolized, every energy Of my
body has been directed to the accom-,
Dlishment of that object"
Nh. Charles O'COnOr, the only impedi
ment to Col. Duncan's little scheme
magnanimOusly declines political cruel
fxion, and, in a long letter filled will
obscure and tr~anscendantal sentences
he leaves to the Colonel a monopoly o.
the honors of the occasion.
Let the Democratic National Con
yention" make haste to confer the Presi'
dency of the United States upon thu
blushing expectant, who has devoted
"two months of his valuable time tC
create the party.
We do not believe thatany of the Lib
eral or Liberal Republican papers have
abused any of the gentlemen on the late
Democratic and United State tickets
We are sorry that we not say the
same for the Bourbon papelsin regardtO
the gentlemen on the Liberaltcket; and
now that's fusion has taken place, there is
still abuse, by some, of gentlemen on the
veryticket they pretend to support. It is
necessary thatgood faith should be kept
in this matter. If, as we hear, there is
a disposition to use certain persons on
tlie ticket, and scratch them at the cleo
tion. the object of the fusion will be de.
featea and this class will certainly dis.
cover the fraud and withdraw from the
ticket before the election. We say this
because we heard an individual, who il
intelligent and influential, a tina
certain names would be scratched. 1
self interest. to saw the least. will no
make one party to the contract carry i
out faithfully, they cannot surely expec
the other Marty to execute their part. f.
