towards, and bul1ics. It scen1B to bo per.
foctly oloar TINT they expected to intimidato
WAnMorn aftor he had admitted TINT he wns
not fighting mnu. Failing in thlB, tloy
scotn to haye plotted to nltnc1s him whom lo
was not expecting it, nna thus oithor kill
him or disable him 20 that llo should not faco
his opponent nt tho appointed hour today.
Tho object IF tho attack WINS tlastardly tho
attacls itself of a most cowartlly nature.
WAnMorr, considering llo was confcsscdly
not n fighting ,nan, defondcd hih,self hero
icnlly; md, wli1o tho killing Of his assailant'
was not probably within the scope Of hia i'll
tentiona, II is result which no decent ma1l
will bo inclined to rogrot. BYER1Y richly do
served tho fnte TINT overlook lin, and WAr-
MOTH should DO instantly discharged from
custody.
This encounter pointcdly illustrates two
things, Which will DO brought out conspieu-
ously by its occurrence. III lilo first place. it
shows tho utter md uncon,promlsing ultraism
Of tho Southern Democrata which is worse,
If possible, than tho opposing u1trais1n Of
tho carpot-baggers. Tho trouble Is that there
Ia nothing like Conservatism in Louisiana
fAhalOAA Alts Uttu &lGtAI9b WITH LHo bU-cat!ttA
Conservatives over since 1872, but this could
not savo him from brutal assault simply be-
cause ho refused to join in general war
against "tho niggors.' III tho next place,
tho nttaolz on WAnMoru ought 10 sottlo tho
t1uoting question once for nil. No claim On
| the part Of Southern ohivnlry, honceforth, i'll
favor Of tho horoism and gont1omanlinoss Of
| tho Codo can over DO admitted; and
no Indictment against man as n cow
ard will hold hereafter simply because
ho refuses to accept challenge, md sot
up his life ngainst n life TINT isn't
worth rush. It will only bo necessary to
point to tho WARMoru caso to show that, if
tho challenge bo acceptcd, there will DO m
effort to kill or disable tho challenged man
i'll somo cowardly manner, In order that ho
may not havo fair show for his 1ife. Let
It's hear no moro Of tho chivnlry Of the Codo
after this affair. Let men in tho South rather
await covert attack, and, like WAnMoru, de-
fend themselves as best they can. Wo only
hope tho defense will bo as effective in every
case as it was in his.
