The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-06-08
TnE NllMINATIONs.

The contest for nominations In several
States has shown, unfortunately, de-
cided tendency to run into personal
warfare. In tho contest In Texas re-
Gently for the Senatorship, the war
between the supporters OF Gov Coke
and Judge Hancock became almost as
bitter as II 1t had been fight between
Democrats and Radicals. In Connecti-
cut feeling OF such intense bitterness
sprang up between the Barnum men
and the supporters of Gov. English that
for time the unity Of the party was
seriously imperiled, II it has not indeed
been weakened. And now we lind the
Democratic opponents Of Gov. Tilden
in New York engaged In a fierce and
shameful warfare upon that illustrious
reformer and Democrat, and actually
periling the power OF the Democratic
party In It's mighty stronghold for the
purpose OF defeating him.
The spirit which engenders these party,
or rather personal quarrels in the party,
il undemocratic and has no kinship
with that high and generous patriotism
which, at this time above all others.
should prompt every thought and every
effort Of Democratic leaders. Chief
Justice Church, OF New York, and his
followers do not seem to the country
at large to be engaged In q worthy
contest. They appear rather In the light
or factionists; Of men with personal In
terests to subserve and personal ambi-
tions to crafty. and who, In pursuing
these selfish ends, are ready to risk the
defeat of the party to strike down and
destroy powerful rival.
The Democratic party, however, in
Texas, Connecticut and New York, Is
powerful in numbers, and more power
ful still In the truth and clearness OF its
principles, and 1t will, we doubt not,
crush the evil influences which arc seek
ing to control IL.
The Democratic party Is the party OF
the people and OF the constitution. and
II has no Identification with the short
comings OF one man. nor with the inter-
ests and aspirations Of another. These
observations are not irrelevent to the
situation in Louisiana. The can vass In
this State is opened, and candidates for
Governor and other Offices are coming to
tho front. As yet, no strong rivalries have
been worked up, no personal feelings
engendered, and we trust there will be
none. The public offices are not
to be fought for as personal property,
and the personal feelings and interests
OF aspirants should not be permitted to
enter, to any great extent, into the con-
test for nominations. What Is honor
able and vigorous war upon the enemy,
becomes mere mud-slinging IN our own
camp. All the gentlemen whose names
so far have been mentioned for the
Democratic candidacy for Governor, are
gentlemen or the highest character
the are men Of courage and ability, and
the people desire that the contest for
nominations shall be conducted IN the
spirit which BELTS the character OF such
leaders, and as will conduce rather to
strengthen than to weaken the Demo-
cratic Conservative party.

enthusiastic support OF the majority OF
the American people.
It is the great national idea that must
be vindicated and restored to Its former
proud and controlling prominence as
the cardinal and fundamental one in our
Republican system. The experience OF
the last twelve years has left it in doubt
whether this principle has not been
ignored or obliterated from our govern
ment and from the minds OF a powerful
division Of the people. These doubts
must be cleared up. Nowhere more
than in Louisiana has this principle
been so disastrously disregarded and
trampled upon. There is an eminent
propriety In our State initiating the
movement for it's restoration. This
idea is the subordination Of the military
to the civil power. ;,
Two years after our great civil war had
closed and peace had been proclaimed
one OF the most gallant and distln-
Quished of the heroes of the war Tor the
Union came to this city, clothed with
unbounded power and authority by his
military superior, to administer all the
powers of government as absolutely as
any monarch in the old world.
His first act, on assuming. command;
was to issue 6n order, which contained
these noble utteranceS OF true patriotism
and Republicanism:
"In war it is indispensable to repel
force by force and overthrow and de-
stroy opposition to lawful authority.
But when insurrectionary force has been
oyerthrown' and peace established and
the civil authorities are ready and will
ling to perform their duties, the military
power should cease to lead and the civil
administration resume its natural and
rirhtful dominion. Solemnly impressed
with these views, the General announces

How the James Boys Got Away.

It appears from the statement of the
Younger brothers that their separation
from the James brothers was not the
result of a plan, but of accident. All
six crossed the Blue Earth railroad
bridge together, Bob taking the lead.
They picked their steps very slowly, as
there was great danger of falling
through, and once Bob had a very
narrow escape from going through
a hole caused by the absence of a cross
piece.
Having captured a horse, it was
agreed that the James brothers should
20 ahead to recennoiter, and find out
where the pickets were posted. Tn
two being fired upon by the pickets at
Crystal Lake, escaped outside the lines
aud were unable to rejoin their COM
pani0ns. -....s--4.
The story that the James boys car.
ried off the money of the entire gang
is incorrect. About $l7 was found in
the possession of the Youngers and $5
on one of the two killed at Northfield,
and this, it is probable, was all they
had. Jim, it is believed, furnished
most of the money for the outfit. 1t
appears from the statements of Cole
and Bob that Jim was engaged in some
business in California in which he was
doing well, and that they prevailed
on him to undertake the raid. with the
expectation of being reimbursed for
his expenditures from their shares OF
the profits. As all their horses and
outfit were purchased in the State, they
probably made cash outlay of not
! less than 81 500.

Tweed was to make serious charges
calculated to embarrass Democratic
candidates on national and State tick
cts, and these charges have been de-
nounced in advance as false. The ma.
ti0nal authorities here, to whom Tweed
will be delivered on his arrival, have
been careful to keep secret the polit.
ical purpose for which they propose to
use Tweed, but they leave all who
make inquiries under tae impression
that there are to be some revelations,
and that they will be damaging 20 the
Democrats. 1t is possible, however,
that the only political use to which
Tweed can be put is legitimate and
proper one. It will undoubtedly be
shown that the Democratic authorities
who held Tweed were very careless in
permitting him to escape, and that
subsequently they made no serious ef'
forts to capture him. while on the 9th

How Crops Grow in California.

From California letter to st.

account of how crops grow In that
State:

aucttve, even to the very top Of tho

Der seeing in Minneapolis a squash in

Now how could a Hoosier or Corn
Cracker, accustomed to the pumpkins
and squashes produced in Kentucky
and Indiana, and in Minnesota, where
the land is much richer than in either
OF those States, realize that this big
squash is only . baby squash by the
side of California squashes, by being
told so on paper. He can't do it. He
must come here and go over the fields

ordinary rainfall in Los Angeles val.
ley, any Of these lands, that have been
tried will produce one good barley
crop without any irrigation. Said
crop is equal to q crop Of corn or wheat
in Minnesota, and will bring about the
same price in market. For horses,
cattle, hogs and poultry barley is
about as good as Indian corn. But
when q man has plenty of water to
put on his land he can make it do

The new gospel according to Tilden,

Gen. NJ. W. Gary, one of the most ef-
fective and popular orators in tie field
for Tilden and Hampton, Is an out.
spoken advocate Of the shotgun policy.
In q speech delivered on the 9th of Oc-
tober Gen. Gary recommended grad.
ed system of electioneering which
should begin with the shooting of Gov.
Chamberlain, Senator Patterson, and
G Congressman Elliott. next the native
white Republicans, and finally the

Gen. Gary, ''if it becomes necessary to

we must be prepared to shoot rather
than be prevented from redeeming the
State from Radical rule" This is the
precise language Of prominent Dem.

is not wanting to show that in pursu-
ance of this plan it is the settled pur-
pose of the Democratic rife clubs to

the day to patroliing the roads and
preventing the negroes from going to

plan, and there is no question of its
having been fully matured and def
nitely determined upon.
