Although tne Democratic party has had
State ticket in the field for the past month,
and the Radical party a similar ticket Tor
more than a fortnight the campaign up to

thusiasm, and this state of things promises

deeply move the popular heart, are nomi
mated. The Democratic nominees have their

still maintains a national and local exist
ence-men of the BOurbOnistic infatuatiOn,
who look at things as they were and not as
they are-still endeavOr TO keep ticket be-
fore the people which, although composed
Of good men, has no strength in the parishes
and but little in New Orleans. If strength
it has at all, it lies in the city, and so be-
lieving, they are content to take their
chances there as the last hope for their
''tattered banner" Is this not the very
of folly 2 They know as well |
as man can know anything that the Liberal |
party of to-day is the party of the people, |
and around its standard will rally the great |
mass of voters in the State, and why will !
they not do the same when they know sue |
cess with them is out of the question: If |
they decline so to do, what is the inferencel |
That they prefer the chances OfA few offices |
