The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1872-05-25

Is it to be supposed that these two
men will ever convince each other:
They will 6 die first - The more they
argue, the further apart they will be,
until their voices will be lost in the
distance.
We find another gentleman who
abuses Warmoth like pickpocket, but
says he must be taken in because he
has the appointment of registrars and
and controls the Board of
State Canvassers. Unless we take him
up, this gentleman is ready to make
both. that all anti-Radicals will be
counted out even if elected.
Now, this gentleman is occupying
practical grounds, as matters stood.
But politics and laws change. War
moth ezid exercise his autocratic pow
ers, in 1870, but we are progressing,
and here is Il progressionist who says
that the Warmoth programme is about
closed, as to stutfing balIot-boNcs and
counting candidates out. He will have
nothing whatever to do with Warnoth
for the reason offered, because Senator
kellogg and Grant have put their
heads together to neutralize by Fede-
raj legislation, Warmoth's extraordi-
nary powers of interference in State
elections, by bringing the Federal and
State election OH the same day, and by
having Federal elections appointees to
watch Warmoth's appointecs and keep
them from cheating. Therefore, de-
clares this gentleman, I an not eyiuid
Of Uormoth.
Will these representative men agree:
If so, where will they get together:
We have enumerated six classes of
anti-Radicals, - and there are others
still-all with pet theories, no two agree
ing, and certain, in the excitement Of a
Convention, never to satisfy one anoth-
er that either is right! leight here lies
the trouble Of the lime Conre,1tion! In
this Jungle of conflicting interests, the
delegates will meet and each Bipartisan
ranger'' will begin to Inaneu\ &c for his
favorite and his plan. The skirmishing
begins, first n solitary gun, then res
ponse, then an independent ranger lets
off, and this is succeeded by whole
squads firing, to be followed by volley
after volley, shouts, yells, groans and a
murderous close fire all along the main
line. Men will get mad, who intended
to keep cool; the Hobbies will hiss and
jeer; the wire-pu'lers will rush in, some
of them to get knocked down; the
crowd will yell, and the whole affair
is likely to end in a disgracefu' row!
We saw these scheming influences at
work in April, and we say fearlessly
that but for a few cool, determined
Democrats who would not be put down,
nor allow themselves to become de-
tached or cut off rom their old comp -
ny, the April Convention arOuM hare
broken atl, q .1ttiin,e! The rc,y same in
tiuences, only intensified, will be OK
erted in June again, and we know it ;
if this be done, the Devil, or the De-
mocracy, one or the other, will carry
the nominations, the one for ruin, an
other defeat and four years more OF
disgraceful State rule; the other, as the
most powerful and o,aIy harmonizing
element, for the redemption of the State
and the prosperity of all classe' Of the
people, black and white.
The Democratic party proper, stand
ing where it stood in 1870; with no part
nor lot in the schemes we have cnunler-
atcd; honestly pursuing the path OF
principle; friendly to all kinds of Re-
form, but welded to no mans fortunes;
having Il record ass State organization,
which challenges the admiration of its
enemies; with true and tried men to
lead it, who have never boNcd at the
feet of Baal possessing glorious rccol-
lcctions and the parent of all conscrva-
tive political scctS now struggling for
supremacy in the State; having in two
antagonistic sets of registrars and super
wilson's, bitterly opposing each other, a
guarantee OF Il fair election, AMI being,
as we know, tho second choice of oil the
contcneling leaders, it must infallibly
follow, reason and common prudence
