New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-11-04


Feralta, Of the fifth, arc ''young and in
perienced"-in fact, pictures them a. per-
feet novices in public affairs. This should
b sufficient reason for not electing them to
the Offices for which tho Democrats have
nominated them. Youth and inexperience
ere not the sort of material the people want
In Legislature from which vital reforms
arc expected.
Az the Bulletin seems to be disturbed
about it, Political Notes will explain that
the word "obscurity" in the paragraph
complained of was used solely with refer
euce to Mr.. Lusher's candidacy, and not
the gentleman himself. Az but little has
been said ono way or the other about the
nominee of the Democracy for State Super
intendent of Putlic Education by the party
organs, the presumption is fair one that
they wished to keep the subject in the dark
- much as possible. If the Bulletin or any
other advocate will define the views and
policy of the candidate, We shall cheerfully
concede to what certainly seems little oc-
cult at present. its proper prominence. Mr..
Lusher himself is by no means IN obscure
man, but there are very few who know
much about his notions of an educational
system.
"Judge Southworth's court" has been
talked to death by tho swarm of reporters
who form tho tail of Major Burke's comet
or kite. It seems the poor commissioner
has broken down ct last. We thought he
would. A pack Of New Orleans reporters
IL too mach for . strong man.
Wsnted-Ten thousand suits of buckram
for those Democratic citizens" whom the
Republicans are arres,ing here" Apply to
the msrshsls who have been fortunate
enough to find the owners Of the misplaced
names.
/, Major Burke, apparently chief registrar
OF voters, has . good deal Of trouble to
make his subordinate, Governor hahn, un-
derstand what 10 wanted. According to
the reporters, however, matters are in .
fair way to be compromised by Burke car
ying his point.
The aetion Of the Wall street men, in
New York city. has put shining fsce on
r publican affairs. We hear no more Of
pools at Morri. i.seys, where Peter Funks
were employed to bid against each other
without putting up dollar or having one
to mt MP. The Wall street movement
killed this business Of political Gaping,
and prostrated the agent OF the Associated
Press. He has not yet showed signs Of
having heard of it.
How American Democrats must enjoy
the campaign in the Second Judicial Dis
trict One of the leading opponents OF
Judge Pardee, and one whose sole antag-
oniem to the Republican candidate is, ad-
mittedly, that he is . carret-bagger, was
nsturalized by the very man he now de-
nounces not long ago. Judge Pardee was
. gallant American soldier; during the
dozen years he has resided in Louisian he
has been q highly respected and upright
citisen, and for eight years, ON the bench,
he has compelled the respect of even bis
bitterest political opponents. Yet he has
NO rights in Louisiana which newly made
foreign born citizen VINO processes Demo
cratic faith il called upon to respect. This
would be Q very ludicrous phase of our
local politics. were it not 30 diegraceful to
tho American community, which not only
permits but fosters such sentiments.
Tho very patent attempt Of the Democrat
to excite the public mind until the mob
element may perpetrate any outrage upon
Rspublicsns unrebuked by its party sp-
pears to have proven Intellectual. Disgust
rather than anger seems to have been the
feeling its coarse and inoeHdiary appeals IN
voked from the mass of our citizens. This
ia q good symptom for the continuance OF
. healthy peace until the end of the cam
paign.
4 prominent Democrat was enthused
enough to offer big odds ON Tilden carrying
Indiana by 5000 majority. This was on
Thursday evening, but up to latest acoounts

though repeatedly summoned to put up oy
the party taking his wager.
Tho Baton Rouge Adeocate says its small
constituency don't want any DemoorAuc
President and Congress to pay the reoe'
debt. Without touching upon the point
that there will be NO Democratic President
or Congress to be led into temptation, we
would like our contemporary to tell us
what IL thinks of the sworn and proven
l;sts of slaves held by leading citizens OF
E.a. Baton Rouge, and which one Of them
declared .'may not come good in my tlme'
but the Radical government must At length
ha overthrown, and these niggers will then
nroye a fortune for my children"
