the demand for reform, for ne has proved

PRper1 of either States.

Governor Tilden's nomination is not
equivalent to an election, for this presiden-
tial election is to be one OF the most vigor-
Gus and most closely-contested that has ever
taken place in the history OF the country.
The result is 80 doubtful that the canvass
will have all the interest Of game in which
the skill of the players keeps the iud gment
OF the spectators in suspense. The chances
are so doubtful that public expectation will
be kept on the qua uiue throughout. 1t is
safe to say that we are entering on one Of
the most interesting, vigorously-contested,
and doubtful presidential contests that has
ever taken place since the organization OF
the Government.-NeU York Herald.

says: Governor Tilden passed the day at

members Of his household. He received
but few dispatches from st. Louis, and sent
none there, In the evening, when the AS

ecutive mansion. There were present with

unreconstructed Southern Democracy on
the other is cordial and conclusive upon
the improperly Of the war. They both
agree that as penalty for having de-
Tended the Union, Republicans should be
henceforth declared incapable of being
intrusted with the confidence Of the
Union.
We fear Mr.. Tilden is insensibly drift
ing into the position Of those who were
called in the first war Of Independence,
Tories, and who were known during
the last, as Copperheads. That there
should remain in the South men so
embittered against the war party as to
accept the assistance of an anti-war
Democrat to defeat it, does not sur
prise us. To overthrow that party
would reopen the controversies of the
past, and we might then see further
confession of faith in the revival of doc
trines suppressed in the present plat
forms, and these doctrines are plainly
avowed in holding the Republican party
responsible for the war; in insisting that
it should be turned out of power for hav-
ing incurred the expenses Of the war
and for confirming its results by indis-
pensable legislation.

form.
Perhaps it would have sounded better
if this denunciation had been made in
Washington instead of st. Louis. The
Democrats have had the complete control
of the House for more than six months,
and the tariff has been left undisturbed
with the exception of two articles-sugar
and rice. The House has passed bill to
restore these products to the free list, but
there is hope of check in the Senate.
This denunciation in the new platform
will be pleasant reading for Louisiana
sugar and rice planters. The Washing
ton politicians are said to be enthusiastic
over this platform. Will our planters
dare to dissent?

A POSER.

Among other things in the st. LOUIS
platform which causes such loud rejoicing
in the ranks of the Democracy we find the
following:
Reform is necessary to rebuild and es-
tablish in the hearts of the whole people
the Union eleven years ago happily rescued
from the danger of q corrupt centrallsm,
which, after infictirg upon ten States the
rapacity of carpetbsg tyrannies, has nom

eminent itself with incapacity, waste and
fraud, infected States and municlpalitles
with the contagion of misruie. and locked
fast the prosperity Of our industrious peo-
pie in the paralysis Of hard times.
When we have succeeded in analyzlng
this very complex sentence, and found out
what sort of reform is prescribed to re-
build and establish the the Union already
rescued, and unlock the prosperity OF our
industrious people from that paral ysls OF
hard times, we shall be on hand W it'll the
appropriate enthusiasm.

STATE CONSOLS.

These favorite securities about held
their own yesterday, but may be expected
to rally to-day under the influence of a
much better tone in the State convention.
The cloud which seemed to lower upon
Stale bonds on Wednesday was blown
away by the storm in the St. Charles
Theatre yesterday, and there is nothing to
prevent their immediate recovery to the
highest ruling rates Of Monday, when they
sold here at sixty-nine and three-quar-
tiers and in New York at seventy. Those
fortunate persons who stepped in and
took all that were offered at the recent
decline are in a fair way to receive a
prompt and profitable return for their in
vestment.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-06-30
THE CONVENTION,

The result Of yesterdays work in the
State convention is much more satisfac-
tory than that of the previous two days.
We discover unmistakable signs of a sat-
isfactory solution of the difficulties which
have heretofore delayed the permanent
organization. This difficulty is owing to
the fact that two or three ambitious per-
sons have been plotting to run away with
the Republican party, with the honors
and emoluments. So far, these efforts
have resulted in miserable failure and a
compactness Of feeling and sentiment has
supervened, which give hope of some
thing like unity for to-day's business.
The convention took recess about five
o'clock till to-day at ten, when it is
expected that the minority report on Gre
dentials, submitted by Oscar Holt, of
West Baton Rouge, will be adopted SUBJ
stantially as presented by the author.
Present appearances indicate that the
nominee for Governor will be Mr.. Packard
or General Anderson, either of whom will
be entirely acceptable to the party gen.
orally throughout the State. Doubtless
there are many other able and true men
in the party whose nomination would be
favorably recei we'd. Certainly, there is no
necessity for the convention to go outside
Of the party, and take up man of doubt
full standing, or one whose record would
have to be explained, and perhaps ex-
cused at every step during the campaign.
Whatever may be the conclusion, the con-
vention has big days work before it to-
day, if indeed it will be able to bring its
labors to close before tomorrow. But
as the great danger of making q fatal
mistake for the party seems to have been
averted, the people can afford to await
with patience and confidence the future
deliberations Of the convention. There
is no longer any need for the fear that the
representatives of the Republican party
are about to abuse the trust committed
to them by handing it over to unsafe
hands. The leadership will not be given
to those who are unable to give guaran-
tees Of fidelity. But, initiating the rep
resentatives of all the States who re-
Gently met at Cincinnati, the best men
that can be found for the responsible
positions about to be filed will be select
ed by the delegates whose duty it is to
represent the Republican party in the
State convention.
At the caucus which was held at the
Mechanics Institute last night, large
majority of the delegates were present,
and the speeches were generally concilia-
tory and fraternal in tone. The proceed
ings will be found elsewhere in the RE-
PUBLICAN this morning. We may safely
assure our friends that the party is all
right again, and there is every prospect
for an entirely satisfactory conclusion of
the session Of the convention.
