is to see II the showing cannot be made
somewhat different, and if that Committee

the Administration tactics on the general

Of the Democratic Conservative element

supported by the Avalanche and Henry

hatred to the Democratic Conservative

potheses. it is easy enough TO understand
the recent action of the President in the
Louisians outrage. But on the theory
that Federal interference was with the
view to uphold Kellogg and maintain
the supremacy of the Republican party
in hal State. his action is wholly mex
plicsble. For the popular verdict against
the incompetency. misrule and corrup-
ton of that party was so overwhelming
at the recent elections that practically
the loss Of Louisiana, or Of a half dozen
such States, can make no possible differ
ence to Grant or those with whom be is
in political afiliation, Their fate is
sealed-their doom irrevocsble. The
interference in Louisiana meant more,
then. than the upholding Of Kellogg and
his bogus State government. We leave
our readers to ponder over and determine
whether it meant less than we have ssg-
gested.
