Evidence comes to US daily Of dissatis
faction to the fusion ticket in the country
parishes Of this State Special dispatches
received by the REPUBLICAN from S6leve-
port and published in its Sunday edition,
sent by close political observer, state
that after thorough observation and close
inquiry it must be conceded the fusion
ticket is failure. 1t has failed to satisfy
either the Liberal Republicans, the Lib
eral Democrats or that large class of indie
| pendent voters that stood ready in North
ern Louisiana to give helping hand to a
genuine Liberal Republican State ticket
The feeling for reform in national and
State government has been gradually
growing among the people of all sections
of our Stote, and if their wishes had been
more closely studied ticket could have
easily been made up that would have re-
ceived in November next the oyerwhelm-
ing sanction Of the popular vote. And it
is not our fault that such ticket has not
been presented. We labored earnestly
and diligently for the formation of ticket
that would receive the enthusiastic support
Of all men who honestly had the welfare
Of State and country at heart of men
who, forgetting the severe political trials
through which they had passed and es-
chewing every selfish consideration, were
willing to join hands with former political
foes in the good work of re-establing
faithful administration of government up
on sound repu blican principles. To con-
coct such ticket was an easy matter. 1t
simply required, on the part of those who
had undertaken an important public duty,
a proper recognition of the Liberal Repub-
lican element that stood ready in this State |
to labor for the public good; that stood |
ready to help redeem the State and coun-
try from the evils that have, since the
dawn of civil war, gradually crept into the
Of public affairs Without
the aid Of this Liberal Republican element
it is conceded, we believe, the Democratic
party could not hope to carry the State,
wen in the protested interest of reform;
md as the Liberal Republicans had no
dea of restoring the Democratic party
o power, but on the contrary in
ended to build up a Liberal Re
publican party in this State that
rould act in concert with the National
liberal Republican party, they were en-
tiled to proper recognition in the forma-
ion of ticket. They were, in fact, the
