With them against the regular Repub-

llcan organization and candidates.
| The basis Of this proposed affiiation
Of heretofore incepgruous elements
has not, according to oil accounts,
been yet determined upon, but the
following are two of the plans alleged
to have been considered:
/ /. The Universal Embracers to
give their support to IN out-an- out
Sorehead parish ticket in consider
alton of the Sorehead vote being cast
for the Bleached candidates for State
Treasurer, Congressman aud Senator.
This is supposed to have been a
Sorelead proposition and to have
proved unacceptable to the party of
the first part.
2. The parish ticket to be fromed
thusly: Members of the House, Par
ish Judge and a Police Juror or two
to be selected by the Embracers.
Sheriff, Coroner and t'other Jurors to
come from the SOrehead ranks. En-
bracers to support Sorehead Senator,
Soreheads to embrace the bleached
Treasurer and Congressman.
This plan is accredited to the
United Pale Faces, who suggested
that Tenderhead could "see Kel-
logg," assure him that the two can
didates for the House were all
right" and much preferable to the
"niggers nominated by the Re-
publicans, and thus gain the favor of
the administration for the combina-
ton ticket which it was hoped would
win a prize in the Louisiana lottery
drawing to take place November End.
It is presumed that the Irritated de-
INJURED to this arrangement, because
it would leave their first and sixth
ward aspirants for the House out in
the cold, which treatment those in
dividuals would, to Il moral certainty,
vigorously resent.
It will be observed that in the prop
osition supposed to have emanated
from the Combined Whitewashed,
they demand both members of the
House, and we suspect if the truth
were known it would be found that
they would sooner conGede all the
remaining officers than forego their
claim to these. The all absorbing
desire of the White League party Of
this State is to secure majority in |
the House of Representatives which
will enable them to displace Gov.
Kellogg, thus opening the way for
the installation of the McEnery gov
eminent, and the thorough destruc-
ton of the Republican party of Lou
isiana. And if the Leaguers find OPP
portunity, by combining with dis
affected Republicans, to strengthen
in the House Of Repre-
we doubt if they will hes
itate to go back" on their Baton
Rouge declarations and support even
the most incompetent "niggers :" for
parish Offices, knowing that it will be
. very simple matter to GUST them
when McEnery is installed as Gov
e1nor.
We can not at present surmise
our White Leaguers and
Republicans will be Joined
in political wedlock or not, and we
ire wholly Indifferent upon the sub
ect. Their trades will not affect the
success Of the Republican ticket, but
will be likely to increase the major
ties of our candidates by forcing into
,he regular ranks the few true Re-
publicans who are now among the
There is bakers dozen of avowed
Republicans here who seem TO make
! business of being sorelieadea pretty
much all the time. If they imagine
here is enough League strength in
he parish to put their champions in
% offices which Republicans have de-
ned them, and if the Leaguers sup
1ose these soreheads can drag any )
body but themselves into affiliation
With party which is founded upon
ace prejudice and prescription, then
here is a huge case of misplaced con-
idence developing in our midst.
We shall watch its progress with
interest and anticipate lots of fun at
