NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 49, 1879

tyrdom, the inefable happiness of seeing
his name emblazoned in the columns of the
PicGyoG'le as one who had thrown himself
away and become a political wreck for the
! good Of the State, were indeed tempta-
tons which it requires strong mind to
resist, yet B proved himself equal to the
emergency. Without a grimace, or one
sign to denote the effort he was making,
he clasped A conVulsively by the hand,
and said: ''No, my friend; can not con-
sent to accept your too generous offer.
Rather take these high honors yourself,
| you and ali your friends. As for me and
my following, we are content to take in
ferior positions. We will undertake to
become your servants and serve you as
Mayor, Administrators, sherif5, clerks of
courts, legislators, judges, etc, and per-
form all the drudgery of public Office,
while to you may descend all the honors
OF martyrdom." But A didnot accept the
suggestion, and these two "'sincere" friends
parted, each with VOW registered in the
usual place to vote against the other.
''What1 J. said A, "'vote for that old fraud.
I'd sooner vote for a Niger"
And so the cart laden with quacf re.
form, redemption, and the whole plan of
salvation. was upset by its friends, and
all the results of the wire-working and
pulling and hauling of the past three
months lost forever This yenders the
success Of any Democratic candidate in
this parish about as certain as would be
an investment in the Havana lottery of
drawing the capital price The Democrats
and Reformers combined will not cast
one-third Of the vote of this city. And
having rejected aid from the sources
whdAce alone it could come, they are in
the proper condition to shut up their po-
llticai shop. Their loud pretensions of
being reformers and saviors deceive no.

even their immediate admirers, as the
same old frauds and their descendants,
who have infested this city for twenty
years,
They are 50 hide-bound in their politi-
cal, financial and social ideas shat they

TIE NEXT STEP IN ORDER.

The Liberal Republicans, whose
strength is SO moderated by the Last
Ditchers that even an alliance with them
is declined, should Immediately take
vigorous steps to make their influence
felt The Liberal Democrats stood up
firmly for them in the late conference, and
insisted on their recognition on an equal
footing with the Reformers before they
would entertain any propositions.
Through the selfish obstinacy of the
Democrats, this reasonable demand was
declined, and the proceedings came to
nothing, While we have commended that
there was too much Democracy in the
political nominations already made, it
appears to be the opinion of the Bourbons
that there is not enough While we have
demanded that this partially of selection
should be compensated on the city
ticket, the Democrats are disposed to
follow the precedent of the State COM
mittees, and take all the substantial
benefits on both the municipal and
parochial tickets. They evidently deem
themselves strong enough, with the aid of
the Liberals to carry the parish without
the aid of Republican votes, and want to
consult economy in employment of means.
We can not say that we are dissatisfied
with this determination, since it relieves
us of any apprehension that there will be |
a Democratic city administration. Let
the Democrats go ahead and make their
nominations. They will become weaker
Immediately afterward, for there are so
many candidates for each Office that i'll
feeling will naturally follow the wrangle
n the convention, Then it will be time
or the Liberals and the Greeley and
3rown Republicans 20 act. They should
It once meet in joint convention and nomi-
late full ticket If they do this, they
nay elect 1t. But If not. they will at
east save us from two gears of Democratic
aisrule. Next to the complete success of
he Liberals, this is the most desirable
at present. .

no injury to the New Orleans waterworks
to establish these of the upper districts of
the city. Enterprise encourages enter
prise. 1t will rather give impetus to the
manufacturing and commercial interests
of the city, and relieve a most pressing
want Of that portion Of our population.
They propose to make no claim upon the
city or State for assistance, and will carry
the enterprise through with private CAPT
tai only, The charges Of the new water
works for supply Of water will be pre-
cisely at the same rate charged by the city
works. We hope speedily to see the
works erected, and water supplied in
needed quantities to our suffering fellow
citizens.
