= vative members of the Lower Hous
be admitted to their seats, thus gi,
4 ing them a majority of five in tina
body; and that the Kellogg Stat
|, officers be allowed to remain il
charge aoithom haging their past act
, inquired into.
This is the most outrageous pro
bceeding of the whole Louisiana i'm
I broglio, from first to last; and it il
only the sequel to the Radical pro
gramme which was inaugurated by
the Kellogg tribe at the beginning ot
the troubles. That thieving crew
/ well knew that there was no Republi.
can form Of Government existing in
that State and that everything which
they had done, since they took
charge in 1879, looking to the estab,
lishment of a government there, had
been revolutionary in its character
and was intended to promote the
success of project instituted by the
carpet-baggers and their Washing
ton allies for the purpose Of maintain
ing their hold upon power in defiance
Of the law and of the people.
4 The Conservatives of Louisiana
have long known this and have re-
cited it to the public, "many a time
and oft during the past two years
1t was known in New Orleans and
published to the world before the in
terference Of the military in the or
ganization of thes Legislature that
such measure was contemplated.
In New Orleans paper, published
before the invasion ofthe Legislative
halls by Federal troops, the charac-
ter OF this scheme was fully explained
and most bitterly denounced. The
Kellogg party, knowing that their
frauds and rascalities were known
and would be thoroughly investigated
and mercilessly exposed when the
Conservatives gained the reins of
Government IN that State, and know
ng that they were unable to main
ain themselvesin power much longer,
wen with all their fraudulent ma
'hinery at work, determined to in
.ugrrate q state of affairs which
would bring on collision and af-
ord a pretext for military interfer.
nee and finally bring about the
ompromise which they have now
i9eted whereby their past acts
topd not be inquired into.
Every lover of free government in
ur country cannot fail to be bitterly
isappointed at the cowardly attitude
I the Conservatives in this compro-
liae. The Kellogg Government was
lther legal and fair government or
was not. If it was not, then why
Il this hullabaloo and hue and cry
bout corruption and why these fran
c appeals to the people of the
ountry to assist in roofing it out and
its rottennessP On the other
and, if it were guilty of all these
ross frauds and wrongful acts of
over, does nota compromise where ,
y it is to retain said power and its
ines remain covered up, make the

1t is rotten piece of business and i
A affair calculated to disgust the !
