A DEAD DOG.


The Picapme with a most lugubrious
attempt at humor, compares its united
State party to a dog, which the ambitious
young Liberal party, as a caudal append
age, is trying to wag. That those who
look upon our contemporary as their or
gan put very different estimate upon the
importance and strength of the Liberal
movement is shown by their earnest ex-
pressions that compromise must be eff
fected between the two parties, or all hope
of saving Louisiana from Grant-Radical
rule is lost. That any compromise can be
effected we do not believe, not only be-
cause it will be difficult to convince the
Liberals that the score Of st. Charles
street ticket makers really representany-
thing besides their own selfish interests
but for the more convincing reason still
that these political schemers do not want
and will not have a compromise.
We have stated and believe that the
united State ticket was contrived and put
in the field with the view of dividing the
conservative vote and electing the Kellogg
ticket. We do not fer moment suppose
that the comparatively few citizens who at
present promise to support itsuspect this.
That they will soon be convinced, how
ever, and unite in organizing public SEN
timent which will drive this unnatural
bantling of fraud and treachery to its
death, we do believe. Already those who
were led of by sudden outburst Of Dem
ocratic enthusiasm are returning to their
sober senses and the Liberal cause, for
calm second thought convinces them that
the combination they are asked to support
is for purely personal, and not the public
good. If the rump committees. represent
the great mass of Democratic voters, as
they claim to do, why did not they join in
The Liberal movement, as has been done
by their brethEenin other States, and as
they admit have many of their especial

friends in this, and, by controlling the
convention by virtue Of their superior
numbers, select ticket representing and
to which would be committed every con
seryative element? They might, by this
course, have nominated identically the
same ticket, which would thus have gone
into the campaign with the seal Of APP
prevail of the entire conservative and
anti-G Grant elements Of the State, and or
ganized for victory, instead of the sign of
a little clique Of schemers which in itself
foredooms it to defeat
The whole plot is too transparent to
hide the baseness and fraud in which it
was conceived and born. Neither the
frantic rawlings nor the pathetic appeals of
the interested contriYers will save it. The
people have stamped it with their disfa-
yor, and given it a death-blow. In friend
illness, and with desire to spare to all
concerned a little reputation that may
prove of future service, we recommend
that they so off the field quietly and die

The publication in a recent number of the Plea
yune, of the letter Of contingent resignation
which placed in the hands of portion of the
Democratic state Central Committee, renders it
necessary for me, in justice to myself and to
the friends who had so kindly expressed comb
denee in me as a candidate, to explain the motives
which influenced me to take that course 1t is
superhuous to state that felt deeply grateful to
the gentlemen of the Conference Committee who
had placed mt in nomination, and to the members
of the Democratic Convention who ratified that
nomination; but may state that those who knew
my views are well aware that considered COM
bination of all the elements opposed to Grant,
including The Germans, the Liberal Republicans
and the Greeley and Brown party, to be an essen
tial condition to success. understood this to be
also the opinion of Mr.. MeBnery the gentleman
who had been nominated for Governor, and was
therefore confirmed in the wisdom Of my view.
Soon after receiving the information Of my nOmi-
nation called on KIr. Lasere the chairman Of the
part of the committee then and now existing and
informed him that should be not only willing,
but anxious to aid in forming the alliance which
considered to be so necessary, and that to assist
in accomplishing this purpose should place my
resignation in his hand to be used as the commit
tee might consider judicious. Mr.. LsHere agreed
with me, and showed me a letter from Mr.
derstoOd that my letter to be used for the pur
pose have indicated, and for no Other-that is to
say, to assist in forming general coalition with
the elements now composing the Liberal party.
had no thought that it would be perverted into an
agency for repetition of the futile coalition with
the Reform party alone, against which had voted
in company with a majority Of, the convention.
Neither cOuldI suppose that small faction Of the
committee -Snly One-fourtlr- representing not
more than half dozen out of the ffty-slX
parishes in the State would assume the
powers which, in any event, could be
properly exercised only by q majority Of the
whole committee. When placed my contingent
resignation in the bands of the president Of the
committee, 1 dealt with him and with the body
which Ire represented in a spirit of fairness and
sincerity which could not then suspect would not
be reciprocated. Whether or not this is the case

consideration of the facts as / have presented

would take this occasion to state that am not
candidate for any position before the August
convention believing as do. that the place which
occupied can be much more ehgibly filed by a

fact, that dirt streets are far more difficult
to clean and keep in repair than paved
thoroughfares. The one class requires in
cessant attention and work, which day
ora night may render abortive, while the
other is very seldom out of order. Many
of the streets which, from rain, are ire
parable for weeks at time, are denounced
as miasmatic cess pools, the fruitful
source of malaria and disease, would be
pleasant if not beautiful and attractive, if
they were only paved and shelled. Then
why are they not put in this condition
At once the administrator takes the initia-
tive, bids are advertised for, and
the estimates are made. But stop,
cries the tax-resister and the news
paper, are you going to put an increased
burden of taxes upon this tax-ridden pop
ulation? How else is the improvement to
be made? Laborers must have their hire,
and the dealers who furnish the material
must be paid. Yes, certainly; but this
work, for the present, can be dispensed
with; but yonder pound is a nuisance and
pest to the neighborhood; you can effect
it's removal Certainly; but other ground
must be purchased to supply its place, and
a new pound will have to be built, and
this will augment municipal expenses, and
you will hear of nothing that viii do that.
In short, no people Cor, rather, few dis
satisfied politicians were ever louder in
unreasonable complaint, or ever more per-
sistent in their determination not to be
pleased with anything undertaken or ac-
complished by the city government Few
if any, officials in any State or city work
harder or accomplish more under circum-
stances of greater embarrassment than do
ours, Yet they receive no thanks and are
denied by their would-be Successors the
poor privilege of being heard in their de-
tense. Exaggeration and contumely are the
weapons with which they are assailed by
these office-seekers, who have as little
cause for their defamations as the paid
hirelings who spread their ISLANDERS before
the public.

MISTAKES MADE EASY.

There is very little difficulty about
making mistakes, if the party is only
careless of his premises. The assump-
ton, for instance, that certain measures
of legislasion are inimical to the public
interest, is of easy demonstration, if as
sertion will be taken for argument, and
any evidence in reJuttal or disproof is re-
fused. In this way those who condemn
the present municipal administration have
achieved of late a series of quite eompla-
cent victories.
For instance, it is a well understood
