THROWING oPP THEIR sEAoKLBs

According to the Shreveport Times, the
business men of that city have awakened
to the importance of doing something to
correct the political evils by which the
State is afflicted 49,
Heretofore they have as class held
alOOf from politics. But now they are pur-
suing a different course, and we regard
their participation in public atairs as among
the encouraging signs Of the times 1t is
an indication that the spirit of patriotism
still survives in the hearts of all classes,
and while this is the case we feel there is
no reason to despOnd of the republic, The
meeting held few nights since to organize
a Greeley and Brown club was particularly
characterized by the presence of and par
ticipation in its proceedings by our mer-
chants. One Of our young merchants, P.
W. Ford was elected president, and three
older ones were chosen vice presidents,
while others on the floor took an active
part in all that transpired.
1t is about time the merchants and bust
ness men who claim an interest in public
affairs should assert their independence
and step up manfully to the front Stand
back, loafers and corner-groggery men;
give place to those whose toll and enter
prise breathes life into the very land
The right cause has proclaimed itself
in Shreveport, and the true people
really concerned in the construction
Of the government, directly inter
ested in its policy personally affected
by its evil deeds, have manifested a willing
ness to undertake the responsibilities
which belong to the selection Of proper
rulers. They have thrown of their
shackles The answer Of the greater part
of our business men when importUned to
come forward is, 80, I'm no politician, .
or. i've no time for politics" Or I'm
too much occupied to attend. This
seems to be the prevailing principle. All
that the business community have lost or
suffered by evil government las been
owing to their Incidence and indifference
to the vital issues Of who shall govern.
That class of men who hunt up Office, not
to be the peoples servants but the peoples
incubus, have pretty much hewhole field
to themselves, while those who have to
pay the piper keep out Of the way, and do
not even vote. In a republic every man
owes to tie country his share Of time and
interest; if he does not pay it he is darelict
and suffers ten times more by what he has
omitted IN this regard than he ever lost by
business indiscretion. a board Of direct

TO THE PUBLIC.

The publication in a recent number of the Plea
yuue, of the letter of contingent resignation
which placed in the hands of portion of the
Democratic State Central Committee, renders it
necessary for me, in justice to myself and to
the friends who had so kindly expressed conf
dence in me as a candidate to explain the motives
which influenced me to take that course. 1t is
supeTfuOus to state that felt deeply grateful to
the gentlemen of the Conference Committee who
had placed me in nomination, and to the members
of the Democratic Convention who ratified that
nomination; but may state that those who knew
my views are well aware thatI considered com.
binatiOn of all the elements opposed to Grant,
including the Germans, the Liberal Republicans
and the Greeley and Brown party, to be an essen
tial condition to success. I understood this to be
also the opinion of Mr.. McEnery, the gentleman
who had been nominated for Governor, and was
therefore confirmed in the wisdom of my view.
Soon after receiving the information of my nOm
nation, called Mr. Basere, the chairman Of the
part Ofthe committee then and now existing, and
informed him that should be not only willing,
but anxious to aid in forming the alliance which,
considered to be necessary, and that to assist
i'll accomplishing this purpose should place my
resignation in his hand to be used as the commit
tee might consider judciOus. Mr. Lasere agreed
with me, and showed me a letter from Mr..
MCEnerY to the same effect. 1t was distinctly I'M
derstOod that my letter to be used for the pur
pose l have indicated, and for Other-that is to
say, to assist in forming a general coalition with
the elements now composing the Liberal party. /
had no thought that it would be perverted into an
agency for repetition of the futile coalition with
the Reform party alone, against which 1 had voted,
in company with majority of the convention.
Neither could suppose that email faction of the
committee - only one-fourth representing not
more than half a dozen out of the ifty-sIx
parishes in the State. would assume the
powers which, in any event could be
properly exercised only by a majority of the
whole committee. When placed my contingent
resignation in the hands of the president of the
committee, dealt with him and with the body
which he represented in a spirit of fairness and
sincerity which could not then suspect would not
be reciprocated. Whether not this is the case
l am willing that the public should judge, after
consideration of the facts as 1 have presented
them
would take this occasion to state that am not
a candidate for any position before the August
convention, believing as do, that the place which
occupied can be much more eliSibly filed by a
German OF a Liberal Republican.

THE PROPER SPIRIT.

It is evident from the letter addressed
bv Mr.. Schell. chairman of the National
Democratic Committee, to Mr. Emile La
sere, of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee of this State, that the action Of the
Reform and Democratic committees, in so
hastily putting ticket of their own before
the people, is not viewed with satisfaction
10y the national committee of the Demo-
cratic party. As has been repeatedly
urged upon the Reform and Democratic
parties, the Endorsement of the Cincinnati
nominees at Baltimore was intended to
.coalesce all tn. elements of opposition to
the Radical administration, in all the
States, upon the distinct basis of the Lib
eral movement 1t is easy TO perceive that
in no other way can harmony prevail, and
the purposes in view brought to sue
cessfuI issue. 1t is plain that should the
Democratic ticket remain as it is, defeat
Will Je the consequence. 1, was put for
ward without authority and in opposition
to the Liberal policy, It's withdrawal, in
view of the August convention, and sub
i5ct to Che decision Of ti,a: body, alone can
produce the state q. harmony essential to
the proper development of all the ele-
ments Of opposition to tie Radical party.

The Pioagrsns has at last come to ac-
knowledge that there is great trouble in
reconciling the people to an acquiescence
in the united State ticket We can tell
our neighbor that the trouble viii he
found insuperable. Treachery is invaria-
bly, unpopular. That position or ascen-
dency which can not be fairly won will
not be upheld by honest people. The
day has gone by when the public will con
sent to be manipulated like a jumping

THE LABORERl8 FRIEND.


Is it possible that the orators on the
united State ticket, and the P;cay1us,
as their representative journal, think there
are none but rich people in the city: It
is strange that day by day they bewail the
mi8fortunes of the taxpayer who counts
his wealth by thousands, and never a word
of sympathy for the hborer who supports
his family by daily toll.
But, to illustrate our meaning 50 that
none can misunderstood it. we have two
propositions to- submit They are too
plain for argument2they are facts, and
can not be disputed.
The supporters of the united State
ticket include every tax-resister in the
State. They curse the high taxes, and
the larger the property owner the fercer
his denunciation. Ittakes off too much Of
his income to pay heavy taxes. So he is
opposed to public improvements opposed
to the citys doing any workzzbuilding
levees, laying Pavements, Smelling roads
or repairing streets; and why? Because it
increases taxes. But then we answer, it
gives the poor man employment. 1t en-
ables him to support his family. What Of
that, cries the Picdyluae and the rich can
didates on the united State ticket must
our taxes be increased to give work to
Irishmen and swell Cockrem's pay rolls?
Why not? His work makes your property
valuable. You lose nothing. Oh, yes we
do, cries the tax-resister, The poor mans
family can starve We are rich. He
should work for us for nothing. What is
he, but a "hewer of wood and a drawer of
water" for us rich people anyway? 1t
makes no difference if the poor people are
out of employment. It is nothing to us.
Such is fair Interpretation of the Ian
guage of our opponents. They resist the
taxes and so the city certificates go down
They oppose all work on the streets, and
hence poor people are thrown out Of en-
ployment These are plain facts and the
poor people know it. The labOrer's friends
are those who give him work; his enemies
are those who refuse i.
The united State ticket is running, and
the Picapme IS supporting it, for the
chief reason, as they allege, that in case
of their success the labor rolls will be re-
duced at the City Hall, and the rich prop
erty owners will have no more taxes to
pay.
Are these the friends of the laborer
The issue they make is capital against
labor. Let the rich man thrive and the
poor man die is their maxim.

son, respectively president and secretary
of the rump. Democratic committee, are
at issue on a question of veracity. Major
Robinson publicly declares that the Ma

the little st. Charles street conclave as the
proper party to represent the Greeley in
terest in Louisiana and to spend the Gree
ley campaign funds while Mr.. Lasere
says it has done no such thing. The first
raised the patriotic enthusiasm of a score
or two of impecunious young gentlemen
who knew just how the money could be
placed to best advantage, and they shouted
for the Last Ditchers at once. Willy old
man Lasere at once tried to bar the door
against these cormorants. Finally Durant
DaPonte threw a ScheIl into the ditch
which blew up all their hopes Of lingering

or two less Of shouters. And yet they say
the Ditchers won fight for reform.

1t is 2ot true that the pay rolls Of the
Department Of improvements have been
largely increased Of late. Nor have FIVE
hundred and fifty banquette inspectors
been appointed at a hundred and fifty dol
lars per month. The Picagnms makes the
inquiry, not daring to openly charge it,
but with the view of creating false i'm
preston. We therefore give it an explicit
answer, and state that nothing Of the sort
has been done. This is another indirect
charge that the votes Of the Irish laborers
of New Orleans can be bought by putting
their names on the City Hall pay rolls.
Unlike the Picayme, the political support
of the laboring men Of New Orleans can
not be purchased, either directly or through
the subterfuge Of ostensibly espousing an
other ticket apparently in. opposition to
the Customhouse party.
