urged on the ground Of their doing the

such practices had better be discarded
at the next primaries, for, If continued.
DIVISION In the party will be the newt
able result, and all honest voters left no
alternative but to select and vote for
candidates Of their own choice. All
honorable concessions and compro-
misses should be made to avoid a war Of
classes; but inasmuoh as black sheep
are to be found In all Of them, it GER
talnly behooves tho party Of purity aud
reform TO di5own aud check both it's
ward bummers and demagogues in their
attempts at controlling local election
by Ocal fraud, and It's bad rich msn
when forming rings with the Custom
house and State House thieves to swim
die the people out Of their money.
FAIR Play.
We concur In very nearly all that our
correspondent, Fair Play" says in his
communication this evening. It was
not the intention of the DEMOCRAT to
excuse, In any measure, the practise Of
fraud upon any scale in our elections.
On the contrary, the most rigid means
should beiadopted to prevent It, What
we meant to say was, that all
the bad and corrupt men were
not In the ranks OF "the boys" and
that we have as much reason to
watch the silk stockings" us we have
to watch the short hairs" IF the
frauds practiced in our ward elections
by the corrupt men among tho latter
have become an evil ia our politics, it
cannot be denied that the corrupt men
among the former have organized rings
which have oppressed the State and
done much TO corrupt and demoralize
the masses OF the people and TO eDcour-
age the very evils which pervades our
ward politics. The true policy is TO op-
pose the bad men without reference to
the classes In which they are found, and
thus check ballot box stufling and break
up the corrupt rings at the same time.

street Names.

Mr.. Hugh Lewis, the engraver, who is
preparing the neatly executed names of
the streets Of the city, which are to be
affixed to the lamps, has, we under
stand, sensibly concluded to adopt the
correct spelling OF Dryads, Philip and
Prytanea streets for the labels. The
job is very nearly finished, and would
have been completed by this time but
for the care which he puts on his work.
The labels are made of tough white
paper, printed in blue, the white letters
being In relief and semi-transparent
Both sides Of the paper are vanished,
and the labels will be attached to the
glass OF the lamps with the same var
nish, which is OF peculiar quality and
water proof, so that rain or the washing
of the glass will not interfere materially
with them

IRRELEVANT ISSUES.

The Times having made up its mind
that the Baton Rouge ticket In the best
thing II can get, has finally fallen into
its support. But its first utterance ID an
effort to create disseDsion In the face OF
the enemy. 1t ostentatiously asks the
candidate for Attorney General to "rise
and explain " his position with regard
to the. New Orleans Pacific Railroad.
We have not yet heard that any par
tienlar position with reference TO the
New Orleans Pacific Railroad Is neees-
sary to identify man with the Demo
cratic-Conservative party. The repre-
sentatiyes Of that party, from every
portion of the State, were at Baton
Rouge. but we heard nothing OF this
question there, and we believe
IL is not touched upon In the
platform. Democrats and Conserya-
lives may entertain very diverse views
upon the policy or right of taxing the
community for that enterprise, and
they do entertain such diversity Of
views. Why, then, Is it necessary for
Mr.. Ogden, as our candidate for Attor.
ney General, to stand up and deliver
his views upon this subject2 IL he can
be called upon to express his views
upon the New Orleans Pacific, Railroad,
he may also be called upon to express
himself upon a thousand other subjects,
and his platform would have to be 80
Mdened as to embrace every social,
political, religious and material ques.
ton Of the day, and he would soon be
left without a single follower who could
possibly agree with him upon all the
tenets Of his creed. ".#
We advise the Times, IL 1t honestly
desires to aid our cause, to endeavor to
intrude no extraneous issues into the
canvass. Theplatform adopted at Baton
Rouge covers all the problems necessary
to constitute the basis of sound reha-
OF our political system. When
we have beaten the enemy and estab-
lished d sound and honest government,
we may fight over the policy Of levying
taxes for railroad enterprises and other
similar questions. At this time we want
no side issues to divide our people and
,mbarrass the canvass. We think the |
aggregate wisdom at Baton Rouge might |

We see In the Repubiican that Pack
ard Is expected soon to resign his
office. The Republican ought to know,
but "hum0nuD, est errare, and 1t may
be false note OF the organ. There is
no telling, however. Longstreet is a
strategist, and, in Packard's place,
would, perhaps, handle the troops bet

true that on the 14th Of September he
handled his horse better than his sol
diers, but that was brutal affair, and
Is no good test. Let Packard, then, re-

Longstreet in the Customhouse. 1t Is

civilian, however martial. @t.t.

The committee on Louisiana affairs
have abundant evidence to prove that
brother-in-law Casey is not only q thief,
but q forger. Under his superintend-
ence fraudulent pay rolls were made out
and the money drawn for thieves diyi-
dends and for the purpose OF securing
elections for the Republican party in
Louisiana. Fraudulent registration
papers were also prepared before every
election and the fictitious names counted
as so many Radical votes. Since 1870
the sum Of 1926, 900 has been stolen on
fraudulent pay rolls alone. This is a
part Of the eminently honest system by
which the Republican party has kept
itself in power In Louisiana. This Is
the system indorsed by Morton and the
leaders OF the Republican party. And
they will do their best to keep the thief
Casey from meeting his just punish

John Cochrane calls his Liberal Re
toga on the 23d of August to ratify the
nominations of Hayes and Wheeler. As
the Liberal Republicans are men of in
dependent judgments, capable of pick
ing out their own candidates to vote for
without John cochrane's help, we fancy
they will generally keep away from
Saratoga and leave little crowd Of
would-be leaders to run that unrepre-
sentative Convention. The mass of the
Liberal Republican vote, whatever John
Cochrane may say to the contrary, will
go to Tilden and Hendricks. The voters
know all about the Republican party
and what its promises are worth, and
they are not the men to be handed over

Peter Cooper for the Presidency has sub
jected him to not a little ill-adyised ridi-
cule by reason Of his age, he being up
ward of 80 years Of age. That this
should not be d disqualification can be
illustrated by numerous cases from his
tory, in which the subjects undertook not
only the government OF State ia time OF
peace, but also successfully guided the
ship OF State through the turbulent seas
Of sanguinary war. The case of Enrico
Dandolo is In point. He was elected 10
the high office OF Doge Of Venice In 1872,
when in his 87th year. At this advanced
age he carried on war with the Pisans,
and closed 1t to an advantageous peace.

his 95th year, he greatly distinguished
himself, and was the first who leaped
