and yet those gentlemeM, accordin. 70
Col. W., are now willing To fsll tnt0 the
ranks OF the followers or subslterus of
the army led by these lsurpess, OPP
presscrs and prosecutors OF themselves
and their friends and assoeiatas, and
upon such frivolous pretextsi ~ those
assigned by Col. Wharton, TO wit:osf a94
1. That some hssty and excited para
grsphist published In one Of our news
papers suggestion that tho old and
long abolished system OF star cars Be
restored; whcreat Warmoth "'shot On
his mouth" In card IN which ne called
on certain Democratic chiefs 70 come
out and proclaim their opposition To-
the idle and tmpotent proposition, The
said chiefs wers not 80 eager TO sce
themselves IN print, or 70 imagine that
the public had any interest ID the qdes-
tion or IN their opinions thereanent,
and they did not respond. V''"
Q. The convention at Bat(i Rouge in
1874, aggravated by the extrcxne and
violent course OF the Radicals In en-
couraging the colored people TO organ
lie on the color line and Inducing them
to reject all proffers Of corporation With
the honest white people 0f tho State,
inserted the word ''white" into their
platform. M iHft'9 ~" ~ ita1e II
No one understands this better than
Warmoth and wharton. But they Ind
not the Same patience and fofgivinR

confederates Of 1879 which they have
shown to the usurpers and oppfessofs =

and iilogicality Of these
politicians: a 80. /.
