THE RADICAL TICKET.

THE RADICAL TICKET.
Wei! the agony is over, and the Radlca
mountain has been delivered of its mouse
and very diminutive one at that! Had w
been called upon to select ticket for thu
express purpose of having it shamefully beater
we could scarcely have done better than tht
wiseacres who lately met at the Saint Louis
Hotel
Mr.. Felix Labatut, their candidate fol
Mayor, is gentleman ofrespectable character
who was placed upon the ticket as the repre-
sentative of gentility and "deportnent
His only remarkable trait is the possession
of an Independent fortune, a fact which per.
haps had some influence in procuring his
nomination. Mr.. Labatut, however, has the
| reputation of knowing how to take care Of his
own money, and if the "boys expect him to
"pan out" on an extensive scale, they are
probably doomed to be disappointed.
Mr.. Calhoun has been an ofice-holder fol
the last fifty years, and has got so used to it
that he is willing to eight it out on that
line /" for the balance of his natural life In
the pursuit Of that cherished object, he ap-
pears to be serenely Indifferent as to which
political party shall receive the benefit of his
valuable public services.
L. j. Highly, Of the Chamber Of Commerce,
is the "Great Elevator" man, and We venture
to add, will be elevated" out of his boots at the
next election. His principal claim on the
Radical party is the following dispatch to Matt
Carpenter, which was captured at the State
House, together with other equally interesting
and edifying documents:
New ORLEANS, January IL, 1874
To Hon. NJ 81. Carpenter, Washington, D. c.:
New election will ruin Louisiana. All is well AS
we are. Chamber of CONNIE, ce bill limiting tax
to one and one quarter, and reduction Of State
debt to fifteen millions, passed both houses to-
day unanimously. l.. j. HIGBY.
Endorsed on back:l
I got Judge Fellows to telegraph copy to Gen.
Butler. went in for Oglesby, but he was busy
What more can do for New Orleans and the
State? L. J. H.
James Lewis, the nominee for Administra-
tor Of Improvements, has expended more
money, and done less work on the streets than
any Of his predecessors, and if elected, would
bankrupt the city much faster than any dozen
men that could be found in his own party
further than that the force of language cannot
possibly 60.
Broker Dumas knows all about shaving city
paper and State warrants, and is therefore the
very man for Administrator of Accounts.
H. Bonzano is a sugar planter, Custom
House broker, and an enthusiastic votary of
the noble game of billiards His present ''cue'
is to attend to the City Assessments in his
leisure moments, but his friends are unwilling
to work him to death, and will therefore pre-
vent him from sacrificing himself upon the
altar of his country. He will be caromed and
pocketed in November, and can only succeed
by "scratch."
Com. Loan, Lord High Admiral of Kel-
logg's navy, first rose into fame as commander
of the Ozark flagship. He afterwards shone
as soldier on the memorable 14th of Septem-
Der, when he led the retreat of the metropoli-
tan brigade with unexampled gallantry and
speed. His coat of arms unites the extraor-
binary combination Of the spear of Mars with
the trident of Neptune. There is no discount
about that Loan-but no premium either, as
be is likely to discover on the evening Of the
I'd proximo.
But the most brilliant achievement Of the
Radical Convention was the nomination of
Signor Sparicio, well-known vendor Of rot
gut on the levee, for the position Of Admins
traitor Of the Water Works. The propriety
and ftness Of this selection must at once
strike every unprejudiced mind, and we VEN
ture to say that, if elected, his long connec-
lion with the ardent fluids will probably
prove adequate to set the Mississippi on fire,
should the wants Of his department call for
that difficult feat.
A noble scion of the great house of Herwig
mas been respectfully solicited to honor the
,fice of Civil Sheriff, and it is earnestly hoped
hat his lordship will condescend to accept
he burden with its accompanying emolu-
nents.
The only remarkable thing we know of
3outte, the nominee for Criminal Sheriff, is
hat he beat Gen. Badger :" on the color line
or that Office, and will most undoubtedly be
'oundly thrashed at the polls without regard
o race, color, or previous condition.
When the smaller fry of candidates are
rotted out, We may devote few paragraphs |
o an appreciative sketch of their respective
claims.
