In reply to tho temperate paragraph printed
in The TRIBUNE of Sunday, comuontiugupon
tho infam1natory dispatch sent 10 New Or
loana from tho Chicago 1iata Office, tho
Times prints n column and half Of vitupera-
ton, personal abuse, and partisan fury, which
arc oyon worso than tho Original dispatch
urging the assassination or bnnishment OF
tl.o Republican officials of Louisiana. Wo
l,uyo 10 desire to handy billingsgato with
tllat paper, or 10 descend to personal abuse.
We simply propose to con!lno ourselves to
tho ince'ldiary dispatch which aomo one in
TINT olllca sent 10 Now Orleans to incito still
further tho hot-',eat!cd Tillenitcs, md, If
possible, 10 provoke violence. We there
foro reprint thu substance Of tho dispatch:
"All eyes and l.opea turn towards
Louisiana. II you tamoly submit to d;son-
franchiEoment, the end il defeat for hope
aasl reform. Tho North seiH say Gol-speai
10 ele1nla9 out Of The PAcKAnn and Kill.
LOGO stmtndrels." With regard to "tlis-
cnfranc!,sement," no comment Is necessary.
The Mississippi mud South Carolinn Plans
havo disfrencEised thousands Of Republicans
in those States. Tint charge Is ono which
even tho Times will not Insist upon. Tho
determination to tlisfranchiso the negroes
WIS publicly announced ut the very boyin-
ming Of tho campaign, mud it was faithfully
carried out. 1t is moro to tho purpose to
examine tho intla1nmatory appeal contained
In this dispatch. What right. in tho tlrst
place, Inns the Chicago Times to spcak for tho
North? Who appointed it III agent to ropre-
q II.
break of the War OF tho 1lsbelliou to its closo
it was tho outspolten enemy OF tho North
aud tho uulaguisod advocate OF thu
right OF secession, tho friend Of tho
South, aud tho foo Of evory North
ern soldier who tired shot in to-
fenso Of tho Government. Is it, therefore,
tho war-recorl of the 1'iuus that constitutes
1t MI agent Of the North2 II not, does it
count upon its eminent services IN tie cause
Of intelligence, morals. md religion ainco
tho War as sufficient to warrant 1t in apeah-
ing for Tho North? What loes il 1ncan by
"cloaning out ~? What other meaning eau It
have ut such q time rs this than opcn advico
10 the hot-healletl TILDEN partisans of Now
Orleans to murder tho Republican officials,
or banish thoua from tho State md dis
franchise the Republican party? And whom
does It adviso these partsana to clean
o,,t"2 First, tho recognized Governor Of
tho State, who has held tho position for four
years, aud whose term has not yet expired;
and second, tho Republican candidate for
Governor, who, at the worry lowest estimate,
| hasreceiycllo one-lnlf the vote Of The State. w
presume Tint he has tho right to run for
Governor oven IN Louisiana Ai1d oven iu tho
same year in wl4iuh Mr.. ItLpEs runs for
President, a.l wo feel quito confident that
ho las violated no law either Of tho United
ssatos or Of Louisiana iu 80 doing. Tho one
man whom tho Times would hayo tho White
Liners OF New Orleaua murder has CON-
mitted no offense in running for the Guber-
material Office, and tho other Is Governor OF
tho State without question until his tcrm
expires. And yot, under such circumstances,
tho 1imes telegraphs to New Orleans 10
"clean out" tho two men representing the
Republican party, which, II there had been
fair election, would layo carriod tho sta.e
by majority Of thousands, and has tho
elfsontery to add TINT tho North would re-
joico at their murder, for that Is all tho
14a<s implies IN tho words "cleaniug out !"
Such language az IL contained In the Times
dispatch cannot b. too severely condemned
at the present time. It does not represent
