cal ability to serve it in the field, but that
it has actually larger interest in the
legislative power to protect than even
the capital itself.
This conviction of q common interest
caused the laborer to look to the en-
ployer for advice, while the employer
found an unexpected and invaluable
ability in the laborer to effect more for
the employer than the emp loyer could
have effected for himself.
This reciprocal harmony Of interests
led the capitalists concer ned in staple
culture to add to their representatives be-
fore Congress representative Of the
labor interests. Hon. c. G. Antoine &C.
companied and labored with the other
gentlemen entrusted with common re-
monstrance against the injustice of re-
pealed protection. He labored on a line
distinct from that of the capital interest
He spoke for people emancipated by an
act of philanthropy, to be pauperized by
an act of sectional selfishness. He
spoke for a people whose social
safety depended more upon their
usefulness to others, than upon
protecting armies. He asked those who
had accorded the political rights to the
laborers, whether they would also deny
them the means of proving themselves
worthy of the gift? It was literally say
ing, "You take my life when you do take
the means whereby l live" What may
be the result of these joint remonstrances
we can not foresee, but an occasion has
arisen to prove the unity of interest be-
tween capital and labor. 1t has proven
that labor foresees political representa-
ton which, upon just and united appeal,
will strengthen greatly the interests Of
capital and all connected with or de-
pendent upon capital.

DEMOCRATIC DEFAMATION.

The sole and most formidable OPPOSE
ton made by the Democracy to the estab-
lishment of Republican principles con-
sists in the general and special defamation
of all who bear the name of Republican.
At the South it is even made the justifi-
cation of popular and personal violence.
A citizen who had periled his life in war
for the maintenance of the Confederate
cause, and lost his life in an alteration
with a political opponent, was said, in
Democratic print, to have been no loss to
society because his political associations
were with the Republican party. This
systematic defamation, accompanied with
social and business prescription. has been,
of course, a great obstacle in the way of
Republican principles. When, how
ever, this question passes beyond the
limits of the Southern States, men are
chary of defaming the Republican party
because it comprehends a majority of
the American people of the North and
West. They are cautious of attempting
social and business prescription, or per-
sonal bullying, because the Republicans
can retaliate upon either business or per-
sonal assaults.
We recognize proper admission of the
equal integrity of Republicans through
out the nation in the following express
sion of city contemporary in opposition
to the Republican principles:
Not one in ten of the voters of the Re-
publican party, as we are willing to believe,
can be induced by money to vote contrary
70 their sense Of rectitude.
This is just and honorable testimony,
and one which we would cordially bear to
the personal integrity of our anti-Repub-
lican antagonists. It remains, however,
that with all admissions of Republican
integrity at the North, the chief argu-
ment against that party at the South
consists in q defamation Of all the
members of that party, with pro-
scription in business and in social inter-
course, a tone of insult which when re-
scented may lead to the death of the Re-
publican with the Democratic inscription
upon his tomb: ''Here lies Confederate
Republican. In his death society has sus-
tanned no loss whatever.
While this defamation and prescription
goes on at the South, the Confederates
who have joined the Democracy of the
North profess entire respect for the people
Of the North, with perfect acquiescence
in the results of the war and "the legisla-
ton enacted hereunder" Defamation
and prescription of their own fellow-citi-
zens at the South, submission ard pro-
LESSONS of loyalty toward their fellow
citizens at the North! What shameless
political hypocrisy! Southern Democracy
keeps its soldiers concealed, while the
leaders are Hospitality entertained upon
professions Of patriotic intentions.
If the signal shall be given that the
right time has come in the success of the
Democratic ticket, these soldiers will leap
out. They will first complete the dis
reimbursement of their fellow-citizens of
the South. They will then seek the cap
ture and control of the federal govern
ment aud the re-establishment of those
doctrines which the nation had ropudiated
on the battlefield and repealed in the Or
ganic law Of the nation.

should be temporarily defeated, the i'm
mortal rights of the people will triumph.
There are but two obstacles to the inn
mediate success of the revolution. The
first is Of that sentiment which does not
believe in the capacity Of the people for
self-government. They have an innate
idea that the wise and good and refined
should govern. They naturally and hon
estly believe that they constitute this
class, and that those who differ with them
are neither wise nor honest This has
always been the anti-republican belief
It has always been the creed of the king,
the established clergy and the nobility.
This opposition to popular rule forgets
all other differences in combined assault
on the doctrine established by revolu-
tons. It assumes the name of Democ-
racy. 1t avows no one principle of De-
mocracy. The second obstacle to the
success of this revolution consists in such
abuses as are, perhaps, inseparable from
any form of human government, but
which can alone be punished and re-
formed under the government of the
people themselves. To this obstacle
the people themselves, perhaps, con-
tribute, in this: They appreciate the
high standard which they have estab-
lished; they demand that its admin
istration shall in all respects cor
respond with this standard. If Cabinet
officers, or other officials; if Congressman,
or ministers, unconscious of, or Indifferent
to the great problem Of human freedom,
are guilty of wrong, the people in the
sacred worship of this immortal principle
may overthrow the faith in just indig-
nation against the few unworthy men who
have ministered at its affairs.
The combination of those who are op-
posed to the republican doctrine estab-
lished by the revolution with those who
may have been discontinued and discour-
aged because their smaller standard of
popular virtue may not have been estab-
ished instantaneously, might be success
full. We apprehend no such calamity,
but if such combination shall cooperate
to defeat the Republican platform, then
will this revolution go backward, but only
as the shadow went backward on the dial
to return and 60 steadily forward, uain-
terrupted and undisturbed forever.

THE REVOLUTION-SHALL IT GO BACK

The Republican platform is unmis
taxable in this. It sums the doctrine o
the political revolutions. 1t would be i,
vain to call the political events of tn,
past fifteen years anything else than /,
revolution. The construction upon tn,
federal constitution had been up to tina
date prescribed by the States. It ha.
now, beyond question, reposed in thu
hands of the whole people of the repub
lie, and such questions Of personal righ
as may arise for ultimate decision have
been committed to the federal courts, the
representatives Of the people having ex.
cluded all political questions from the
jurisdiction of this tribunal. The Eng.
fish revolution of 1858 settled the con.
struction Of the British constitution. I,
was settled against the divine right Of the
monarch and in favor of the representa-
tive right of the people. Macaulay has
| said:
The highest eulogium which can be passed
on this revolution is this-that it was our
last revolution.
There has been a certain analogy be-
tween our revolution and that of the
English. We trust it may realize the
same eulogium. To maintain our settle
ment, however, it will be necessary to
keep distinctly before the world-for it
has no less constituency-the constitu-
tional doctrine declared by the revolu-
ton. 1t is comprised succinctly in this
platform:
l. The direct and paramount allegiance
Of every citizen to the whole people of
the whole republic.
2. The paramount obligation of the
whole people Of the republic to guarantee,
at home or abroad, the constitutional
rights Of every citizen.
This principle of popular and national
sovereignty is compact of the people
with the people. It annihilates any inter-
mediate agency assuming to represent the
people, and makes free way between the
people and the only earthly sovereign
which they acknowledge. that Of the
people themselves.
This revolution should not then go
backward. 1t is indispensable to the well
fare of mankind that it should be perma-
ment for the Republicans Of the world

could not have made elsewhere. To the
people of the United States the main
tenance of this revolution means q great
deal. We qualify its importance to them
because even if upon abnormal issues it

OUR CANDIDATES.

DUB CANDIDATES.
The gratifying intelligence came over
the wires this afternoon that Rutherford
B. Hayes, of Ohio, had been nominated
by the National Republican Convention
in session at Cincinnati, as q candidate
for President of the United States
All true Republican and all who have
at heart the common good of our coun-
try, must concede the wisdom Of the
choice. Governor Hayes stands before
the people as q man in whom there
is no guile. He is a gentleman OF
education and independent fortune.
He has been twice elected Governor
of Ohio, and has served two years in Con-
gress. In the political contests Of his
State he has defeated Pendleton, beaten
Thurman, and greatest of all achieved
victory over William Allen, the imitation
list, and great Democratic bulwark
of the West. In peace Governor
Hayes is among the most peaceful of in
telligent gentleman. In war he was a
strong man on the Union side, and bis eff
fciency as soldier at the head Of his
regiment won for him a Brigadier Gen
erals commission in the volunteer
army Of the United States. The wise
policy of this nomination is evident.
Ohio will yield him her support in the
canvass, and all other States not Demo-
cratically blind, must 60 Republican.
In the case of Governor Hayes, there
is nothing to explain or apologize
for; he is true American gentleman,
q good soldier, an eminent statesman,
and more than all, man of honest worth
and sterling integrity. He combines and
possesses in his character all of the quail
ties required in President, and nothing
remains for the Republican party to do
but to sail on to easy victory, with the
name of Rutherford B. Hayes at the mast
head.
Hon. William A. Wheeler, the candi-
date for Vice President, has been mem
Der of Congress for many years, represent
ing the Northern part of the State of New
York. He was born in Malone, New
York, in 1919; was educated at the Uni
versity Of Vermont, and became a men,
Der Of the legal profession in 1912. He
was member of the lower house Of the
New York Assembly in 1850 and 1851,
and of the Senate in 1853 and 1859;
and was president of the Constitutional
Convention of 1S67-S. He was elected to
the Congress Of the United States in 1861,
and again in 1869, and has occupied
seat in that body ever since.
As member of the committee of Con-
gress to investigate Louisiana affairs in
1875, Mr.. Wheeler was brought into
intimate relations with the people |
Of Louisiana. It was at his sug-
gestion that the adjustment Of our
political affairs was had last year.
His strong good sense, his frank and
generous bearing, make him a man of |
mark, while his thoroughly liberal views
and his practical craftsmanship render |
him a fitting companion to the gallant |
soldier and honest farmer who heads the |
national ticket.

other circumstances they become danger
GUS and lswless mob, highly injurious to
the material interests of the country, ana
more to be dreaded than all the balance OF
the law. breakers.
We need no lawless tribunals in this par
ish. The officers are competent and willing
to perform their duties and would be glao
to accept the aid Of all good citizens IN en-
forcing the laws. There are no evils exist
ing here that can not be remedied in the
regular manner. In all kindness to the
gentlemen of the vigilant committees, we
would avise them to reconsider their SEN
tence of expulsion from the parish OF man
accused Of not pay ing debt.
It is evident that like many of the pres
ent day investigating committees, the La
fayette regulators have run afoul OF
Democratic snag; some one has been or
dered to leave who would have voted the
"White mans ticket" and an appeal is
made to the good, kind gentlemen of the
Ku-Klux to reconsider one of their SEN
fences, that which forces certain man to
leave his home for the alleged reason OF
having failed to paw debt.
Persons living in more civilized COM
munities can scarcely realize the condl-
ton of affairs in these ku-kluxed parishes,
which is the result of overriding all law
and substituting therefor the will Of the
mob. So long as the shotgun gentlemen
confined themselves to the legitimate duty
of reducing Republican majorities, all
looked well and good in Democratic eyes;
but it is soon found that young men gov
erned by their own inclinations and by no
law can not be trusted to adjust the
rights and wrongs of society. The
shotgun is not safe substl-
tute for the Revised Statutes. If to-
day the mob threatens the life and drives
away a man who is little behind hand in
settling up his grocery bill, the same mob
may tomorrow shoot a merchant who at
tempts to collect bill. In parishes
where the vigilant committees exist a
mans life and tenure Of property depends
upon the fancy of the majority of the mob
organization. We are told the good
citizens do not countenance the outrages
committed by these committees. Ger
tainly they do not; but the good citizen
is told to shut up his mouth or
pack his carpet-bag, and he becomes
quiet. The gentlemen of the Ku-Klux
are all good Democrats, as Democrats 60
in this State; but as useful citizens for
country parish they are disgusting fail
ures. We look for q plank in the st.
Louis platform that shall recommend the
disarming and disbanding of the Southern
Ku-Klux and vigilance committees. We
do not expect any such recommendation
from the members of the Democratic
Convention to meet at Baton Rouge. A
Democratic victory in this State depends
upon the assistance of these same shot
gun gentlemen, therefore they will not be
disturbed; and while the colored man
lodges for his life, the soul of the white
citizen must possess itself in patience,
and not complain if now and then the
wrong man is ordered to leave his home.
There will be no more necessity for kill
ing candidates, and the Democratic House
of Representatives can call in the campaign
committees and turn it's attention to useful
legislation.
