example OF this corruption and rapacity among
public officials has spread from the seat Of gov
ernmcnt In Washington TO the smallest cities In
tho United States. and Radical rotten ness hes
oven tainted the very essence OF the people. It
ID tho duty OF all good citizens to make Ut lsass
an attempt TO remedy tho evil. They must n
take an active part In public affairs, and not
abandon their direction - professional poll
ticIaDs It must be done not only to-day and
Tomorrow. but all tho time. II our oitisens Of
good standing fail To do their duty In that rs-
spect. then universal suffrage Ii failure. and
tho present form Of government must b.
changed so that the material interests Of the
country may bo guarded by conservative pro-
visions.

It sees In the present tone aud attitude Of

r. The TINES insists upon the neceesity of noini
mating nrst-oass ticket for the parish. We
want an able city administration: the Admints-
traitors OF Finance and Of Public Aocounts es-
pecislIy must be chosen with particular regard
to fearless, Intelligent and uneompromisln9 In
tegrity Ths Mayor must possess largo fore
sight and eminent purity Of purpose. Next.
our Legislators must not be selected on account
Of their eloquence or rhetorical powers. but for
their singleness of purpose and practical com
mon sense. A ticket made up on such basis
would be sure 10 win. and It's election would In
evitably work the reform of abuses and tend TO
the restoration OF our commercial prosperity.
About the silver dollar It says:
In this silver dollar question is the. future
germ OF y great financial battle. Already party
lines are being broken up by IT, In the West

as now constituted are ever TO be disintsgrsssd.
II will be by the silver question.

an enterprise Of great importance: 1t regards

will depend upon the officials who will have to
deal with it. tho bulletin will not support men
who will defeat 1t. It insists. moreover. thas The
public have the right 10 know the sentiments OF
all candidates on all subjects.
Il urges on Cen Nichols TO write letter con-
corning It's rumors Of his Senatorial aspirs-
