cratic, but we are to have tair election
this time. We suggest this point to Maj2r
Burke because he is SO intimately acqaintod
with the McComb community and the way
the thing is worked
If Mr.. B. F. Jonas waits until "the tidal
wave for Tilden" proves "the salvation of
Louisiana" he must possess his soul with
enduring patience. Wehave we'll grounded
faith in speedy redemption through Pack
ard.
The Tenth Ward Central Club, appar-
emily not satisfied with the scope or direct
ness of the Democratic platforms, or
Colonel Patton's supplements, have gone
into the business on their own account, and
talk in q fashion that must meet with
hearty Endorsement from all people who
don't expect to live off the spoils of Office.
Here is a blow in the eyes at the sense
less denuncistions of "carpet -baggere,' so
called. 1t has become common thing for
men who have scarcely picked the Castle
Garden hash out of their teeth, but whom the
Democratic canvassers have clothed with
citizenship, to denounce native born Amer
leans as if they had no right to an existence
upon the soil of Louisiana. The tenth
warders apparently begin to appreciate the
absurd folly of this, and declare:
That we all and Individually deprecate
any feeling of ill will or prejudice, founded
on differences Of nationality, residence or
association.
They continue in strain which, if carried
into practical effect by the convention, will
spread terror and dismay through the ranks
of the legion of patriots who are exhibiting
themselves daily in the beer saloons as the
NEST fit and proper candidates for Dem
ocratic suffrages. Hear this:
We pledge ourselves to stand shoulder to
shoulder as one man, determined by our
united efforts to place in positions of honor
and trust only men of real worth, ire
proachable character and unquestioned in
tegrity.
And ae if still further to shut out the ring
men who at present run the Democratic
party machinery, the tenth warders de-
mand-
That each and all the State and city
offices be salaried, and in due proportion to
the honor, dignity and utility Of said off,
ces-thus placing into the common treasury
for the common good the immense amounts
annually applied to the enrichment of indi-
viduals.
This is excellent doctrine-worthy even
a Republican declaration Of principles. Let
US hope that it will not again prove merely

General Nichols official organ says:
The country press generally indorse the
views of the Democrat on Packard 9 invita-.
ton to General Nichols.
Of course. The leader bays, and the en-
tire pack take up the cry. But just the
same is it confession that they fear to
meet our gallant champion in the arena,
with the whole people for audience.
Willie T. Posey has written drama for
the Baton Rougeians, in which General
Nichols is victorious in his political contest
1t is fortunate for those supporters of the
Democratic nominee who can draw consols.

for participating in q real one are 60 dim

Every one of consequence in New Orleans

liable to err in judgment as he is likely to

Well, this able and correct gentleman
and Democrat writes to q friend in this
city-after the Saratoga conventions ad
journed, and the sentiments of the
leaders of all factions and parties
had been culled and weighed-that
the bottom has dropped entirely out Of
Tilden's campaign, and that if his friend

The Times has q statement that the
Democratic State Central Committee hal
