Coming Home to Egoost.

The Opelousas Journal Of the Goth of July
last, speaking of the Democratic Reform State
Ticket, uses the following language:
"Of course then it is not Democratic ticket
nor o Reform ticket, and no members of these
parties are under any obligations to vote for it
1t is ticket nominated by d few individuals
residing in New Orleans. and the people had
nothing to do with it"
And from the same paper, of the same date
| and in the same column in an article headed
"The United State Ticket we make the fol.
towing extracts:
1t will be seen that it is not put forth as a
Democratic ticket, but, as it's patronymic in
dlcates, 1t Is q fusion ticket. Let us inquire
briefly who the high contracting parties to
this bargain are, what bodies of men they rep
resent, what authority is vested in them to
mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise restrain
or dispose of the ballots of the people and fin
ally, what is the subject and aim of this COM
plieation 50 secretly formed and SO suddenly
launched upon its mission of evil
They are men who, if they had the respect
and confidence of the people, have forfeited
both because they have, in secret conclave,
struck 6argai,,, in the terms of which their
constituencies, if they have any, We're not con-
suited, and leaving the conviction strong as
''proefs from Holy Writ" that they, not the
people, are to be the benefciaries of the COM
pact.
In the third place, who vested Mr.. Lasere
with authority to drop two names Oh the Dem
Ocratlc ticket, if it be d Democratic ticket
and to substitute two other names in their
steadf Is this in accordance with Democratic
usage or any other usage governing great po-
htical parties in their operations2 Is it not a
palpable example of that assumption of power
by the few over the many, Of that system, in
its most obnoxiou form, of subOrdinating the
great interests of an entire people to the rule
of Il metropolitan clique. whose acts are done
IN secret and whose purposes, disguise them
as they may with patriotic phrases, are bent
to one selfish endathe appropriation to them
selves of power ana place.
The conclusion is manifest-there must be
plan, design, Il combination, the details Of
which are not given to the public, and which,
as yet, Is coliied to but few, but whose prime
object is the individual advantage of that few,
and, that failing, the ruin of the fair prospects
OF political reform and renewed prosperity
now almost within the grasp of the people Of
the State.
We don't pretend to endorse the Journals
views as above set forth; but if that was the
Journals opinion Oh the formation of State
ticket by the duly authorized committees of
the Democratic and Reform parties, in regular
FORM how can it reconcile itself to the support
of Ebert CAN'T for Congress, when the above
extracts are SO well adapted to his case!
