The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1876-10-04
TIE SKIES ARE BRIGHT.

BEFORE our next.issue the elections
for officers in three States will nave
virtually decided that Mr.. Tilden is
to be our next President. No one
who has known how to read the signs
of political revolution has had any
doubt in the last three weeks shat
Indiana will elect Democratic Gov
ernof on the 10th mss. Farmer
Williams blue Jeans trowsers have
been only the beacons that displayed
the growth of the fervos, and the ris-
ing of the storm. The cause that
| lies at the bottom Of shis outcpy
against Radicalism is she ''gaunt
WOLF that has been broughs to every
farmers and mechanics door. Ehe
soil. tillers of Indiana are determined
to throw that "bloody shirt which
Morton flaunts in their faces, owes
his own head and cram part of its
ample breadth into his blatant
mouth.
West Virginia vas claimed by the
Republican Conmittee early ira the
campaign, upon what. ground it
would be difficult to explain. She
voted republican in her first elections,
and SO did Arkansas after recon-
s,ruction, and there is no more rea
son to suppose the one State will
vote that way now than the other.
If this elects the Democratic ticket
next week, then will the November
election he nothing more than the ex
preston in legal form of result
already foreknown. The last nail
will have been driven in the Radical
coffin. There Is very great probable
ity that Ohio will thus vote, notwith
standing tits the home of Governor
HAYES. Evidently there is g. panic
all along the Republican line. 1t
first took possession Of the political
centre, the national committee q,
Washington, where its first NANTES
tation was the interference Will
: Schurz's plan OF campaign, and like
i, ali panics quickly spread through the
. whole Republican camp. One ofth'
Surest indications of its prevalence
!, is the personal attacks OH Mr.. Tilhen
which his over jealous atlvocat'
!, have been at too much pains to re
flute charges which are now acknowl
:, edged BY the journal that FIRST mad
!, them to be false-as ifa man of Nj
=, rilden's life long integrity needed
- or could he benefited by yindics
;, tons, or injured by malign aspel
:. sions. Such q mans character
:. like an axiom in mathematics
proves itself.
While Republicans are anticip'
20 ting defeat in the October elections
10 and some of their journals are alread
- breaking the fall by arguing in az
8 vance that their cause is not thereh
- lost, the Democrats have become j,
!, bilant and exulting. Even Sont
v Carolina promises redemption. \
-. such redemption as that has hee
effected since Moses delivered tt
:, children of Israel from the Egypti'
ls bondage. Our own State has be-
J., given up by the Radical slate make
IL even since Gen. Nichols commenc
y, his canvass. To our united Sont
In the outrage manufacturers tried
u, oppose % united North. The C
woke no echo. Radicalism is d
r, comlited ant will he routed, and eve
, man who believes in a public &C
science, who recognizes a differen
. between good and evil. WHO desires
90 publication of political morals, "
- feel sense Of relief when it is gn1
Let it die the death of the wick
for its name is rcproach, and
deeds o stencil in the nostrils Of
~ nations of the earth.
