We answer these questions. The Con-
servatives hesitate to take the path their
reason points, because the Republican
party has been so denounced for alleged
corruption and oppression. We do not
choose to use the .'you, too" argu-
ment' and cite the Democrat. share in
these alleged abuses. We will not point
to the State and city of New York, in
which the Democracy have undoubted
control, as an evidence, that it is not in
the national ascendency of the Democ-
racy that the Southern Conservatives are
to anticipate exceptional integrity of ad-
ministration. But we ask Conservatives
to weigh the question of future association
carefully. +. Principles remain; men are
. transient. The Republican party of Lou
isiana stands on the amendments of the
constitution and the maintenance of the
compromises 1t has arrested the abuses,
and repudiated the agency of the actors
in those abuses, whether perpetrated by
Republicans, Democrats or political mon
grels. The Republicans have reduced
the debt and expenditures of the
State They have published programme,
pledging themselves to present as good a
schedule with as able and as honest an
administration as any competitor can.
Will it not be well with this presentation
OF positive danger on one hand, and prob
able advantage on the other, that the Con-
servatives of Louisiana should examine
and await further development of Demo-.
cratic purposes and an authentic demon
stration of Republican pledges? They can
thus throw the weight of Conservative
influence where it will be productive of
most good for the country and them
selves.
