II may seem strange to many why the
two committees of this year, 90 well IA
the several who preceded them ia
former years, are not sufficient In the

upon and settle tho Louisiana CUES

The Commission consists Of four Re
publiuans and one Democrat, sent by
Hayes to arrange the political affairs OF
Louisiana satisfactorily. Tho Com
mission Ia u political bastard. sent TO
s'arrAnge matters" or In the words OF
those wholauggested IL, to make u com
promise. We all know that If we listen
To word from these sirens. instead Of
arranging anything, they will simply
offer us compromise. We have u
horror Of compromises. We have had
enough. lot us have no more. In line,
we have not the least confidence In tho
Commission. Opelousas Courier.
Where does tho President. his Cabi-
net or Congress derive tho authority for
deciding who is Governor OF Stntep
Tho constitution and laws or the Uni
ted States do not give IL to either Then
why should our people care u straw for
what either should say about who shall
or ought to be Governor Of this State ?
Tho people OF this State know who they
elected to that Office. and they will sus-
tain him In IL, In spite OF I'LL the Presi-
dent, his Cabinet. COMMISSIONS and
Congress may do or say, IL lac will lot
them to do 30. They will either do this
or compel the fraudulent President to

The political outlook Ia anything but
encouraging. Tho White House fraud
has appointed n committee. composed
of four Republicans and ono Democrat,
to decide the destiny Of Louisiana. This
committee Is without any power. with
out any authority. any without any
legal existence, but yct, no doubt. IL Is
Hayes purpose to base his action to,
ward Louisiana upon their report. and
there In every reason TO believe that
their report will be adverse to the law
full government established by our peo-
pie La this event IL will behoove the
people to act with iirmness and deter
mfnation. We cannot afford to submit
to the domination OF Packard and his
thieving crew. Submission to him means
ignominy, degradation, and conilscation
OF what little remains to our impov-
erished people. -tUnion Record.
From the movements being made by
the Radicals and the action OF the ad-
government, the policy OF President
Hayes toward us Is clearly evident.
Efforts are now being made. and will
continue to be made, TO bring, about u
compromise of our rights and liberties,
as was the case four years ago.
The people OF this State, on the 18th OF
November last, elected Francis Il.
Nichols Governor of the State OF Lou
isiana by II majority OF over 1000 votes,
and by tho faith or all we hold dear and
sacred and the hope we have for our be-
loved and time honored institution, let
