MORNING PRESS.

The Zee sounds buge note. The campaign
is open. The Republicans. ashamed Of the past.
enter the lists with a programme timidly COM
FUNCTIONS and with weak and untried leaders.
/ The Democrats have boldly thrown their flag to

placed ut their head leader the very personih-
cation OF the idea which pervades the land.
| The patriotic sentiment which has been
awakened In the heart OF the nation by the

and enthusiasm. has given new impetus TO the
Democratic idea Of reform, and the Republicans
are already dismayed
| Now Is the time to work for the liberation Of
Louisiana. But to effect this end the Demo

see any harm In that. II may hurt these gentle

II is mad with Texas and Louisiana. because
both will vote the Tilden and Hendricks ticket.
The Picavsne says that the scenes enacted In
the Radical Convention adjourned yesterday
were sufficient to cover any party with infamy.
The conclusion Of its abOrs could not have
more forcibly expressed the hostility OF the
party to anything like the work Of reformation.
The nomination Of Packard s an act Of con
scious weakness. II is as much as to say that
the election is lost without Federal interference.
II is an act Of weakness backed by threat-a
threat against the people of Louisiana. The

the Republicans themselves. an unwilling
work done in the interest Of tho Democratic

Tho B,tHetia avs that it is a false aud weak
maneauver of the Republican party to go about
saying that the conservative Democracy is
pledged to a certain extent to make war on the
funding bill. That bill having been sanctioned

lie on its face. but it is straw that shows where
the wind blows. Attempts Of oil kinds will be
made to get up "ourages" and Louisanians
must take eare not to permit themselves to lose
temper. 1t Is better 10 accept some transitory
evil than to give any legal cause for Federal in
terference.

tions Of the Republican Convention, thus:

good business man. but has been unfortunate
