WAS IT A MISTAKE7

There seems to be a great deal of anxiety
and some uncertainty about the position
which the st. Louis Uestliche Post will
take in the pending canvass. On Fri
day Tilden organ in this city published
a special dispatch from St Louis from its
correspondent Biou, which contained
this emphatic declaration:
The German Post. Carl Schurz's organ,
declared to-day in faver Of Tilden and Hen
bricks.
On Saturday, the reporter of the Asso-
ciated Press sent on the declaration in
full, which appeared in the papers on
Sunday morning. It reads to US like the
worst declaration for couple of aspiring
politicians that ever We saw. Mr.. Hen
bricks is politely alluded to as one of the
loudest of paper swindlers, Democracy is
stigmatized IS a humbug, and the reform
so abundantly written in the St. Louis
platform a swindle. "For the time being"
says the Post, s'there is'an end of all honest
reform on the Democratic side and the
truly independent citizens who do not be-
Eeve they can serve two masters will have

THE SIXTH DISTRICT CONGRESSMAN.


The report brought to this Office late
on Saturday evening as to the action OF
the caucus of the delegates representing
the sixth congressional district, seems to
have unfairly stated the case.
1t was generally understood that Cen
eral Louis j. Souer would be chosen to
succeed Mr.. Nash, but that no action
would be taken until after the nominee
for Governor had been decided upon.
This was certainly the understanding Of
Mr.. Souer's friends, and the hackers OF
Mr.. Nash took simply snap judgment
upon him when they forced the caucus
into nomination at a moment when all
the delegates were not prepared, and in
violation of the understanding.
As it was, Mr.. Nash's scheme carried
only by the barest majority; and if the
eventual result should be want of unan-
unity among the Republicans of the dis
trict in supporting him. we may feel
more regret than surprise.
General Souer deserves well of the Re-
publican party, and his claims will not
be overlooked. even though his fealty to
his friends and pledges has brought him
temporary reverse and disappointment.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-07-04
THE CAUJUS-CONGREsS.

The present sess on Of Congress will be
long remembered as case in which
party, having sec-red majority, directs
the whole legislative force of the govern
ment to partisan purposes. From the
beginning Of the session the Democracy
has in party meetings determined the
action Of Congress in advance, and the
Republican minor:.y has had no adequate
voice in the discussion or determination
Of the most vital questions. Democratic
contestants have been seated upon the re-
port of partisan committees. Southern
Representatives, though comprising the
chief force of the Democratic party, have
been snubbed and silenced because their
utterances were too ardent and prema-
ture. Southern interests have been post
poned and defeated to make up slate of
plausible economy. Southern Represen-
tatives have been told, it is true, that after
the election Congress will do them justice.
The Southern States, though expected to
furnish the largest quota of electoral
strength to the Democracy, have never
been permitted to whisper the name of a
presidential aspirant from that section.
This force is thus held in reserve to be
employed at some more critical period.
This Democratic caucus has suppressed
all measures. of finance and stihed all
demonstrations Of public policy. The
absence of Mr.. Gibson from the Commit
tee of Currency and Banking has pre-
vented the report of bill repeating the
Republican act for specie resumption in
1879 until after the st. Louis convention.
The tariff act is lodged somewhere away
in the serpentine windings of the calen-
dar. No measure Of progress has been
adopted; all is obstructive and reaction
airy or-Democratic. Perhaps the most
forlorn hope of this continuous caucus
held at public expense is to constitute the
Democracy the party of the Union, and
to ingratiate itself with the soldiers of the
late war. It has even brought such
Southern fre-ea.ers as Mr.. Ellis to recon-
mend the nomination of Union con-
queror ''of the States lately in rebellion,
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-07-04

Democrats on the score of the State
credit. We concur in this opinion. We
do not believe the most reckless and
profigate Democratic administration
would dare to lay violent hands upon the
financial policy which has reduced the
State debt from an almost fabulous
amount to Tess than fifteen millions. and
taxation from twenty-one and one-half
mills to fourteen and one-haH. We no
ticed with pleasure last winter that the
Democratic members of the House CO.
operated with the Republican members of
the Senate in passing act No. Sc, pro-
hibiting the funding of certain bonds,
which were said to be "unlaw-
fully guaranteed and unconstitutionally
issued" AS law, perhaps this act
is null and void; but as declaration of
policy. it is valuable and gratifying. We
have abundant reason to agree with the
Democrat in saying "the funding bill will
never be disturbed by Democratic ad-
ministration." But while this is our
opinion, we can not control the senti-
ments of the New York papers, and take
the liberty usually accorded to conductors
of newspapers, to publish such opinions
from time to time in our news columns,
even though they may be adverse to our
own. Besides, it is only recently that the
Democ ratio party has given reluctant
assent to the policy of the funding act;
and fear of the consequences, rather than
inherent love of reform and economy,
would bind them to it hereafter. But
whatever the motive may be, we have no
doubt they would stand by this great Re-
publican work if they were given chance
at the State government.
We are glad, the results considered.
that the REPUBLICAN, omitted to com.
ment simultaneously with its publica-
ton, upon the New York Commercial Ad-
uertiser's article. The omission drew
out most emphatic denials from the Con-
sentative organs, that any attempt to dis
turb the existing financial policy would
be made. This is, in the highest degree,
satisfactory, and confirms the position
assumed by US on Sunday. The Repub-
lican convention, too, has pledged our
party to thorough maintenance of the

State and federal, stand ready on demand,

THE BARONS ADVERsUS TIE BARREL.
HOUSE.

This cause came on to be tried on Fri
day last, upon the bill, answer and ex-
hibits, and we are compelled to chronicle
the ignominous discontinue and nom
suit of the barons. The baronial press
talked last week as if it had the entire
control of the nominations. It even pro-
posed that the ward clubs should abdi-
cate any possible nomination of sheriff5,
clerks, or Administrators, and confde
this important duty to ''the gentlemen of
England who live at home at ease" and
who from superior virtue and culture,
are better judges than ssthe iremen,
roughs and rowdies of the ward cleo
tions can possibly be-" Confident in their
superior domination the baronial press is
sued its orders and expecting implicit
obedience devoted themselves to running
the Republican convention in place of their
own. The consequence was q revolt, a
seizure of the polls, and the astounding
demonstration that the 0 'Finnerty" had
got away with all that is worth living in
this city for, to wit: Two sheriAs eight

TIE CONVENTION

THE CONVENTION-L1GHT AT LAST.
The rather discouraging features which
attended the opening of the Republican
State Convention have been happily re-
moved, and some excellent work done at
last Three nominations have been made
for the State ticket, embracing three un-
exceptionable men-three tried and true
Republicans - for whom the whole
strength Of the party can be rallied at the
election, provided our amiable neighbors
can be persuaded to permit Us to vote.
The nomination of Mr.. Packard for
Governor may be considered the result of
the very best judgment of the party. His
high personal character, admitted admin
istrative ability and long residence in the
State seem to point him out as man
eminently fitted to frs. lead the party to
victory, and then, for the ensuing four
years, discharge the duties Of chief magis-
trate There were several good names
presented to the convention for the nom
nation. Messrs. Anderson, Ludeling
and Williamson especially were the
favorites of some of the best men in the
party, and the election of either would,
in our opinion, have been an honor
to the party. But the convention pre-
ferred Mr.. Packard, and the unanimity
with which it was done on the second
vote is at once very gratifying and assur-
ing Of success. We have only time and
space this morning to state our unquali-
fed approval and Endorsement Of this
nomination, and to assure the Repub-
licans of this State that we mean to do all
that lies il our power to elect him our
next Governor.
The choice OF Messrs. Antoine and
Brown being merely a denomination to
the places they now occupy, may be con-
sidered as an approval by the party of
their four years services. Lieutenant
Governor Antoine denomination is more
over concession to the Republicans OF
the parish of Caddo, which he so well
represented in the Senate previous to his
first election to the second place on the
State ticket in 1872.
If the convention will finish the ticket
as we'll as it has begun, we shall be ready
to forgive it for the awkward manner and
dilatory proceedings of the first four or
five days of the session. It is probable
that the Auditor, Attorney General and
Secretary of State will be nominated soon
after the meeting on Wednesday morn

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND STATE
CONSOLS.

In obvious and everyday matters we
have no particular objection to the Demo-
cratic papers defining the position of the
REPUBLICAN. But when it comes to the
serious questions affecting the State
credit, we prefer to state our own posi-
ton. The opinions of the REPUBLICAN
are always to be found in its editorial
columns, and as we are not often accused
of ambiguity, do not deem it our duty to
specially refute and contradict every
statement clipped from our exchanges
which does not exactly coincide with our
own views. But it has occurred within
the past day or two that simple para
graph cut by the news editor from the
New York Commercial Advertiser, has
been taken as an authoritative expression
of opinion by the REPUBLICAN, in spite Of
a positive declaration to the contrary only
two days before. The offending para
graph is as follows:
Should the Democracy of the State, which
ia of the most virulent Confederate type,
succeed to the administration of Governor
Kellogg. there can be no assurance that
either the constitutional provision or the
laws passed in pursuance thereof for the
integrity of the State debt will be ad-
hered to.
This was published simply as the opin-
ion of the Commercial Advertiser. Evexy
journal in the city is in the habit of pub
fishing extracts from exchanges, without
commenting upon each particular para
agraph and refuting every mistake. We
have seen extracts in our contemporaries
which contained some of the most eyre
gious blunders about our local affairs, but
it never occurred to saddle the credit fo-
ignorance upon the scissors men.
On Thursday morning the REPUBLICAN,
published the following opinion in its
editorial columns:
Louisiana bonds are quoted in New York
at seventy cents. How long can they be
expected to stand at that figure if the Re.
publican State convention surrenders the
party control to the open enemies of the
funding bill! Such suicidal policy will
per force drive many influential mem bers
Of the Republican party to the support OF
the Democratic ticket: and others to neu-
traiity, for however unjust that party may
be to the negro, we have nothing to fear
from it on the score of the State credit.
The colored members of the convention
will therefore, be called upon to make their
choice. They must stand by the friends of
the funding bill if they expect their assist
ance.
Here is direct acknowledgment that,
in the opinion of many influential MEM
bers of the Republican party, there will
be nothing to fear from the policy of the
