Plain Talk About the Campaign.

Under the above caption, the Qua
chita Telegraph Of Nav 10Th tells
some very plain truths in very !
plain and sensible manner, and advan-
ccs sound views, which show that its
editors head is still very level on the
political question, both as to policy
and the most prominent matter at
issue in the present campaign, to-wit:
No fusion, compromise with Radicals
or organization of visionary third
parties. 1t also displays his sound
Judgment relative to State and
National politics. That he is correct
in the position that the success of tire
Democracy of Louisiana is DEEPEN
dent upon the success of the National
Democracy we think has been fully
established by our past history.
With such o man as Grant as Prcsi-
dent and a Radical Congress 10 back
him, Democratic victory at the polls
in Louisiana is perfectly fruitless of
good to the party or the State. We
may elect our ticket as often as we
please, and with such men as Pack
ard, Kellogg, Warmoth, corrupt
Returning Board and Durell o. a
Billings TO issue midnight orders, to
be enforced by the military by direc-
ton of q Radical President, We are
powerless to place the men we elect
in Office and keep them there the
fruit of our toll, like the Dead Sea
apple, turns to ashes upon our lips
Under these circumstances does
any sane man think there can posi-
bly, be any wisdom in turning from
he National Democracy and attempt.
ing to establish good government in
Louisiana Or do the third party
movers suppose that the National
party will dlsorganize and assume O
new name and new code Of principles
in order to adapt itself TO the capri
cious whims of few Missionary poll
ticians of Louisiana If they Dc
they will find themselves sadly mis-
taken. Our hope depends upon TIT
success of the National Democracy
for as long as the Radical Republi
cans elect the President and hold th'
balance Of power in Congress Louisl
ana may expect to be ruled by usurp
ers and political montebanks.
If we would redeem our State, TIT
fight must be made fairly and squarely
upon the broad principles of Demo
cracy, with Reform in all the Depart
ments Of Government as our motto
and "thC subordina,ion of the militar,
to civil authority" as our watchword
and go hand in land with the Nationa
Democracy to victory or defeat.
