BRIGHTER PROSPECTS.

Notwithstanding that the REPUBLICAN
assailed the ticket presented by its party
in very strong language, and predicted a
defeat for it in November, unless its com
position was altered for the better, our
objections to the Republican were
confined to q very limited number
Of men, and our demand for re-
form of the list was restricted to three
or four names. The necessity Of the oc-
casion, and our own desire for benetcent
change for the better, had actuated us to
call upon the Republican Parish ConVen-
ton for a ticket that every man IN the
community could vote for and feel that ne
was sinking the partisan in the patriot

community as it has been the object OF
hate among the white people, and the
failure of the convention TO comprehend
and meet the want Of the emergency i'm
pelled a gloomier view Of the contest than
the facts Justify. A little alteration in the
Republican ticket will make it the best
one before the people, and the Parish
Committee, assisted, we are happy to
say. by some Of the nominees who are
considered unpopular, is engaged In maxi
ing the changes that will reform the local
Republican ticket of all the nominations
that have been objected to by the people.
The committee has met with significant
announcement from all classes Of Repub-
licans in this delicate labor, and the abb
solute necessity that compelled the changes
which are being made being apparent to
all, the selections that we hope to an
nounce at the proper time will be received
with intense satisfaction, the displaced

It will be q credis to the Republican
party that it has been able, in the face Of
the opposition. to control its own mem
bers so well in this matter. And the &C
ton Of the masses Of the Republican or
ganization have given another evidence of
their faithfulness to good government IN
thus allowing the parish committee 20
change candidates that had apparently
been selected by themselves The Repub-
licans saw the mistakes that the conven-
ton made, and with practical good sense,
which the opposition can profit by, they
submitted to the power of the parish COM
mite that labor which has become too
urgent to be deferred to the action
Of a convention. And now, since
all the objections which we have
urged and which our friends have in
dorsed against the parish nominations are
to be met and overcome in proper way,
il at the same time becomes a double duty
with those who expressed their opposition
to the original selections to- come forward
with double energy in favor of the amends

dissatisfied that their objections will be set
AZ rest, and we further assure them chat
the parties whose unpopularity has been

ticket. Under such circumstances. with
