TREASON, sTRATAGEh AND SP0ms-
A TICKET CONCEIVED n SIN AND BORN N
rNourTY.
If they alone were wise, the people Of
Louisiana might fall into the trap 50 Gun
ningly set and temptingly bated by the
manipuIators Of the Reform and Demo
cratic State committees. If their patriotic
declarations could not be proven the cloak
Of most INSCRIPTIONS ambitions-their
appeals to stand firm BY old organizations
a cover to the basest treachery to those
organizations, and their accusations Of
evil motives in others the consequence Of
unholy schemes Of their own defeated,
the plotters might hope to win sympathy
and support to their cause. But the peo-
pie have learned to regard all their acts
with scrutinizing suspicion, and in this
instance the serpents trail is exposed to
the view of all
We charge that the so-called "united
State ticket is theresult of bargain and
sale with the Grant ring in the Custom
house; that it is an appendix to the con-
tract entered into last january between a
fragment of the Democratic Committee
and the present Reform leaders on the one
hand, and Packard, Casey and associates
on the other, whereby the State govern
ment was to be overtime d and the con-
tracing parties promoted 70 official station.
We charge that in IL is plot political
principles are ignored, the interests Of the
people rs well as their loudly proclaimed
wishes passed over unconsidered, and that
self-aggrandizement is the sole impelling
motive in the course pursued.
We charge that the united State ticket"
is the result Of conference with, and
was formed under the approval Of, the
Grant Radical leaders; that, prior to an
nouncing their programme, representatives
of the Reform and Democratic commit
tees met Senator Kellogg, Mayor Flan-
ders, Colonel Williamson and others at
the st. Louis Hotel, for the purpose Of
completing its details.
We charge that the trainers have no ex-
pectation of electing this so-called "united
State tic ket, that it is designed, whether
the candidates know it or not, solely to
draw off votes from the Liberal ticket in
ihe interest Of that made at Baton Rouge,
and that the said trainers expect their re-
ward direct from the hands of the federal
authorities and Of Kellogg should their
make him Governor of
Louisiana.
The people will not be deceived by such
'alpable trickery, The patriotic impulse
which swells in the hearts Of all true Amer
cans to-day, and which found expression
at Baltimore, can not be de-
Gated by the fimsy devices of polit-
cal wirepullers. It will achieve a great
riumph by installing an honest law
owing man in the presidential chair and
lect reform government for Louisiana
lpon the ticket which Greeley heads.
The contest lies solely between the Lib
and the Radical Repub-
icans-the one representing a government
f the people, for the people, the other
espotism in the interest of one man
nd his rings All who oppose the
primer support the latter. This the
eople- realize, and those who would
,mpt them from the straight path
duty and patriotism will next No
ember receive the indellible seal of their
ernest condemnation Note the predic-
on
