Cincinnati Enquirer: General
Garfield says that if Tiltlen can car

New York Tribune and almost
everybody else comedies New York.
State Register rep: The great
seal of this State has for motto,
''Justice, Union aud Confidence"
We suggest to the administration
that as confidence and Justice are
both entire strangers in Louisiana,
they should be both stricken off of
the great seal.
Blackbarn's Homer IliM rep:
The Courier Journal recently charg-

murdered by the reckless clement Of
the opposition, the better pleased
are most of those who are generally
put forward for high position on the
Republican tickets OF the South; for
alone under such excitement and
persecution can they hope to ride
into power. We see today men on
the Republican ticket for high posi-
ton in this State, who are so utterly
worthless and destitute OF reputable
character that they are not only
without any personal strength in the
campaign, but whose advocacy and
support would be an absolute dan
ger and well merited disgrace to any
respectable member of the party.
Such men can alone hope to ride
into power under the confusion of
bloodslled and outrage, melted and
incurred under tile instigation and
Insult of their own presumptuous
and worthless infainy.
And snch is the programme
such the ruling thought and power
under which Republican cam
paigns have been and are still being
run in the South. We should like
to know when such programme is to-
cease, and what public good can
reasonably be expected under its
prolongations
