EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
Sundays PiCayme contains an article
signed Consistency" that goes around
robin Hoods barn in order to find
manor German-to shoulder the respOn-
sibility of saying that the Liberals have
appointed another committee Of confer
ence" beautifully in the interest of that
terrible" man, Warmoth. 1t says:
Now, if such is the case, the committee
can accomplish nothing. Every citizen by
this time understands that the division
among the people Of this State has arisen
entirely because of the ambition OF Mr.,
WarmOth to retain position and power IN
this State, and that he and his peculiar
friends, such as SlOanakeT, Sheridan, Camp
bell and others, have been the only obsta-
cles to a Just and harmonious fusion in OPP
position to the Republican party.
The abolition war, the secession chivalry,
brought to light shoddy obligations, shoddy
ideas, shOddy men-Grant, for instances it
also brought to prominence men that
we're destined to be as essential in the re-
construction of those past differences as
the abolition of slavery was essential to

Warmoth is no shoddy; his tair dealings,
his firm adherence to equal rights, his ac-
knowledged pre-eminence as a politician
combined have made him the controlling
power-the necessary evil-required to adj
just the war defamation. He has, nOtwith
standing the hostile and selfish animOsity
engendered, proven to have been the right
nun in the right place-a friend to the
people. His particular friends proclaim
it aloud. His enemies admit it in private
They acknowledge it one to another in
their secret cOnclayes. They know it.
WarmOth is a man of firm integrity. He
! has passed the prOOf-sheet ovef1every year
| of his stewardship for scrutiny. You
know he can be trusted with the helm of
State. He has placed the State of Louisi-
ana far ahead, in every respect, of any of
| the last five reconstructed States. There
| has been no sacrifice of public credit; her
! debt is small in comparison to what it
/ would have been under any other manager.
! Men of the North, who possess idle capital,
! will at once flock to Louisiana with their
| capital, as soon as they are convinced that
| the people are determined to sustain the
| present State administration in its efforts
! for reform. You and know it. 1t was dis
cussed by the delegates from the country
| parishes at the Liberal convention. They
came here in the interest of the State,
| convinced that II. c. Warmoth was the
! strongest man and the only man that could
| carry the State as a Liberal nominee. The
, "hunger for office" made death struggle
| hue and cry that if Warmoth would with
draw as candidate for Governor they would
| wipe the tears of repentance from their
| brOnzed cheeks, die then and there, paying
| tribute to his memory by sending him to
| the United States Senate. Governor War
moth, the noble partisan, notwithstanding
his power, at once expressed his willingness
to withdraw, irrespective of any promise
or pledge on his part. What was the result
of this announcement in the camp of these
| political hucksteTs Lord, save US ~ He
has discovered the rotten plank in our
PLATFORM" die in the ditch rather than
swell our tuned voices for Greeley and
| Brown.
WarmOth withdrew, the convention
made ticket retaining Sheridan and one
or two others. How was this received by
the mass of the people, and what is the re-
suit? Why has there been, by authority,
| another conference" appointed, and OF
Warmothean" material? Mr. "Consis-
tency," you know the reason-you fear it.
MARK it"-ColoneI D. B. Penn IN
doubtedly was the strongest element that
could be placed at the head of that ticket,
after the withdrawal of II. G. Warmoth.
His private and public record is unim-
peachable, but 1Ce Liberal Republicans and
Liberal Democrats, looking figures and
facts square il tie face, together with the
non-assuTance received from the various
| parishes, are candid enough to admit that
| he can not carry the ticket through with
any chance of success There is no more
use of denying 1.-THE people know it, they
| know that Kellogg with fusion, or
even without it, would be victorious
| in the coming November election. The
cry comes, what will save US! You have
| as a party, notwithstanding your pretended
! hatred, time and again admitted in your
| own private consultations that to save the
State We must place Henry c. WarmOth,
with all his faults, at the head of the ticket,
in order to save defeat at the hands of the
Customhouse party. The time has come
for action. The people are getting tired Of
this repeated nonsense They will be com
PEELED TO run Warmoth, whether or no. TC
run him is to elect. The cry of fraud brings
a larger crowd every time it is uttered
! They have waited and then demandedproof

its wearer to succumb to disgrace and dis

indignant people.
