iZatiOn more than nail nave Deeu
Republicans hitherto.
Philadelphia Inquirer Rep: Ala
bama increases her Democratic
majority very consid erably. The
result was not unexpected, but it is
little surprising that the whole
mass of the colored people should
have either refrained from voting
or voted for the Democrats on the
State ticket, although they had the
excuse that the Republicans ticket
was headed by Democrat, but one
who was a declared friend of the
black people. This was Spcncers
last fraud, and it has rebOnnded on
the Republican party, which should
have cast him off long ago.
Ne.c York Herald: A ''machine"
or an organization is as necessary
in politics as spokes in wheel or
wheel on a carriage. The men who
run the "machine" are as important
to the party success as the men who
run the steam cars to Saratoga. To
raise the cry, therefore, that because
gentlemen give their time to poli-
tics, to the management Of a can
vass and conventions; because they
look after the discipline and work
ing of the party, and see that the
vote is brought, they should be
outlawed, is to strike at the success
of all political government.
Blackbuym's Homer Ilidd (RepC:
We claim as much right and au-
thority to speak in behalf of the
Republican party, not only Of this
State but of the Nation, as any man
in America. because we have as
good and consistent record; and
we do not hesitate in saying that
our Republican State ticket cannot
be elected as at present constituted;
and as much as we may and do
desire the success of portion of it,
we would vote the Democratic State
ticket entire before we would swal
low in toto the Republican ticket
the way it now stands; so if this is
treason, make the most of it-for
upon this rock we stand, and will
not move.
La. State Register rep: Hero is
a portion of Kellogg's 'sfinancial
policy.n The State Tax Collector
Of st. Mary's Parish was appointed
March 9th 1876, and held office
almost a year. He was a pet of the
, Sypher's, and he paid into the State
Treasury, two hundred and fifty
dollars. He is a defaulter to tho
) amount of forty FIVE thousand two
hundred and forty one dollars. The
. Tax Collector of the Parish of st
: Martin, was appointed March, 9Th
|. 1876. He held office about a year
; and never paid a cent into the Stat,
t Treasury. He is a defaulter fOl
9 twenty two thousand three hundred
o and fifty-six dollars. These tw,
8 representatives Of the great reform
}. party in this State, have sixty sever
e thousand five hundred and ninety

Gratis, if they had a chance, coul'

d carry out.
