EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
The Cincinnati nominations have beer
made and heralded to the American people
The North, East and West have thus fal
heartily, unanimously, and, we believe
triumphantly indOrsed the wise and popu
lar nominees of that able body of states
men and politicians. Louisiana was ably
represented in that body; she has become
the keystone of the South; undoubtedly ii
to play an important part in the great
struggle of freeing the American people
from the Offensiveness of Grant and the
gang Of ofiice-holders that run him.
Governor Warmoth's views expressed in
his short but truthful speech at st. Louis
are the sentiments OF all honest, liberal
minded men, irrespective of either party
Democrats or Republicans, black or white
His bold denunciation of the administra-
tion receives the avOwed approval of the
solid Republicans, and the old-line Demo
Craftsmen who for the last few years have
taken no part in political discussions-al
feel as though their interests were being
represented By a man liberal in his views,
but firm in the reformation of reform. His
advent into the political arena of the South
was at time when Southern oppression
was anchored in the breasts of many.
They had harbOred unjust preiudices
believing them to be mighty and
objectionable. The discOrdant ele-
ments have died out for want of
substantial nourishment. The unprinci-
pied political aspirants, "whO would have
stole the livery of the court of Heaven to
serve the devil in" are eager to rekindle
the Pickering embers for personal aggran-
dizement. H. G. Warmoth has boldly iden-
tified himself with the Liberal Republican
party, not for personal glory, but for the
purpose Of restoring the noble State of
Louisiana, not only to a sound financial
basis, but to place her upon the Liberal
Republican Reform banner, to be handed
down to the rising generations, who will
unfurl its pure, untarnished name to a
people that once was upon the brink of des
pOtism, Capitalization and anarchy.
The material of the Liberal Republiean
platform is made of no local or obnoxious
fragments, barring the rights of political
equality, leaving all questions of local or
national interest TO be settled by vote of
the people. This is the standard bearer of
a republican government. No military des-
pot can make civil law subservient to mill
tary rule. Louisiana, without doubt, has
passed over the trying ordeal of reconstruc-
ton she stands now ably represented in

indorse those who have been untiring in
their exertions to promote the interest and
welfare of the people Of this State. The many
accusations against II. c. WarmOth are fri
volOus, and harped upon by few, who are
Jealous of his ability as leader of the
Republican party of the State He is will
ing to submit to the sufrages of the people
of Louisiana. No one believes but what
Governor WarmOth, heart and soul, is
wrapped mp in the reform movement de-
manded by the masses of the people; he
wants the Judiciary of the State above the
corrupting temptations of political life; he
wants the parishes to elect Representatives
that are lsw-abiding citizens, looking un-
deuiably to the interests Of the State. These
iniunctions have been advanced in his annual
messages, in his speeches before the Legis-
lature and elsewhere. The people are ripe
to carry these reform movements into exc
cution; the reelection of Governor War
moth, with Greeley and Brown at the helm
of the national government, and we are once
more a fOurishing and prosperous State
our little difficulties" are all settled.
