SITTING BULL FOR GOVERNOR.

d Editor Democrat The chief question
before the people now seems TO be who
shall be the candidate for Governor of
Louisiana against Boss Packard and
every morning notice that some enter
prising citizen trots out his man, sup
ported bya long column OF eulogy OF
one sort or other This is free country,
and, IN exercise Of the inaiiendble right,
II don't see any reason why should not
put up my man as we'll as the rest
= It is universally conceded by both
Republicans and Democrats that Pack
ard possesses but one single shining
virtue. from which emanated the ray of
light which caused him to receive the
nomination. This sole virtue is that he
is the favorite OF the National Adminis-'
ttTation, and will, 1t Is supposed, receive
financial and bayonet support from that
quarter. In opposition to this qualifi-
cation have thought proper TO suggest
the name Of Mr.. Sitting Bull 1 am sorry
that cannot feel justified In occupying
. column OF your paper In setting forth
the virtues OF that somewhat remarka-
BILE man, whose present chief occupation
seems to- be that of numbering some OF
the ablest and most gallant officers OF
the United States army, who have been
SO unfortunate as to have incurred the
displeasure OF the Administration
Sitting Bull is . bad man. but con
scientifically believe that he would make
as good q Governor rs Packard, and
that, bad as he is, he has shown no
greater disposition to plunge his fol-
lowers into opposition toseverything
good. w. eG tR e.s54 a.sais1aa slig

The New Orleans Democrat., 1876-07-18

Our correspondent Melpomene pro-
poses Sitting Bull as candidate for
Governor OF Louisiana. As between
Packard and Sitting Bull, we are free
to say We prefer the latter. Therefore,
II the Baton Rouge Convention fails to
agree upon some one OF the eminent
civilians now prominently before the
State for the nomination, Sitting Bull
might be accepted as compromise.
After Ill he may be the dark horse in
Louisiana politics. Sitting Bull has so
efkectually licked the Federal soldiers,
too. thatwe are disposed to favor him
for the nomination rs q first choice,
considering the fact that the only
formidable opposition the Democrats
and Conservatives are confronted with
is the army. Besides this. with his war
paint. feathers and battle whoop, he
would lay so far over the manifestoes,
banners and olatter OF the Penn Execu-
tive Committee that he would certainly
carry the election by storm. Then, too,
xs o leader OF the Bulldozers, Sitting
Bull would be success. and before the
second week OF, the canvass, he will
have had the scalp of every defamatory
scribblcr In the Republican office In his
belt, breakfasted on broiled Packard,
and dined the leaders OF the party on
fricasseed Warmoth and Dibble. e5t

Gov. Hayes letter of acceptance is a
satire upon his hackers. It illustrates
the Republican idea of reform within
the party in its utmost absurdity. While
Grant Is organizing the Hayes campaign
by turning out every official who has
worked for reform and by ,reinstating
the whisky ring. Gov. Hayes proclaims
that this is all in the interest of the
thorough, radical and complete re-
form in oface-holding which be will
bring in. 1t is arrant nonsense for him
to promise, ii elected, to overthrow the
very system on which he now leans for

State: his integrity is unimpeachable,

It is probable that from this time
forth, the Republican journals, with the
exception OF the immediate Administra-
ton ring organ, will try to repudiate
General Grant. The Chicago Tribune
already says that the Republican party
dents course in these matters" ,trefer-
ring to his war on honest mem. This
kind OF talk will not do, however. The
President has been playing the devil for
some years, and every newspaper Of his
party has indorsed him. Through the
Presidents entire course with reference
to the whisky prosecutions, hardly a
single voice was lifted up against him;
every Republican paper sprung to his
defense and excused him or, il there
was anything like a censure, it was
offered In the fmeekest and mildest
manner. TO cap the climax, no later
the entire Republican party, with
one voice declared that "The nation
al Administration merits commenda-
tion for its honorable work In the man.
agement OF domestic and foreign affairs,
and President Grant deserves the con
tinued and hearty gratitude of the
American people for his patriotism and
his immense services in war and In \
peace" Here was the strongest kind
OF indorsement Of all the acts Of Presi-
dent Grant. The party declared that,
SO immense were his patriotism and
services" that this gratitude should be
f'continued." This, be it remembered,
occurred after Gen. Grants open alli-
ance, defensive and offensive, with the
whisky ring and the lowest class of
cehawkerS, bummers and adven-
turers. Now, when Presidential elee-
ton approaches, these gentlemen begin
to. realize the load they have under
taken to carry. 1t is a dilemma, and
an ugly one, but they brought it upon
themselves. Gen. Grant has been |
covered with caresses for some years
pronounced the Saviour of the coun-
try;' a greater than George Washing |
ton; has had all his deviltry indorsed, |
and he has evidently ''got'' the party
and "got" them badly. ri tS -
