POLITICAL GLEANINGs.

| men are In q likely way to WIN as unenVla-
bic reputation for unfair play as that at
taching to the Last Ditchers themselves.
Trickery and deceit in politics, as in the
ordinary relations between men, can win
but temporary success, and we hope the
current reports will not be so far substan-
tiated as to induce the belief that our Re
publican friends have acquired one of the
most Objectionable traits of the 'fusionists,' p
so-calIed.
We refer, Of course to the threat of Messrs.
| Burch and Others to repudiate the action Of
the State committee in placing Senator Mo-
land in nomination for Congress in the Third
District, vice Darrali. These gentlemen,
supporting the Baton Rouge nominees, put
! their candidate in voluntary contest with
| those Republicans nominated for the same
| positions at Mechanics Institute. Of the
| latter, Governor j. Madison Wells, General
| Barber and Senator Butler were overe
! slaughed only Senator holland succeeding
on their side. 1t is not fair, therefore, in
any sense, the same parties voting in each
case,o to reject one candidate thus chosens
and not the whole. Such action savors teo
much of the "little back room on ST. Charles
street" We hope this will prove tempoo
rary ebuHition of pique that sober second
thought will obIiterate. We are assured
that the friends of Mr.. Noland would have
had no thought of running an independent
ticket had he been beaten.o His opponents
should manifest at 5east as warm desire
for party harmony

give the sentiment uttered yesterday by
one Of the most enterprising merchants of
this city, and which was acquiesced in by
several other "basiness men" present. "If.;'I
