WHAT THE pACKARDITEs DEMAND.

WHAT THE PACKARDITES DEMAND
| Whilst their learned legal hair split
ters engage the time and attention o
the Commissioners at Parlor 2, on thu
legal and technical points involved IL
Packard's chancery case, the Repubh
can newspaper, discarding all such
friyolities, marches boldly up to the
practicable, tangible, political and ma
terial demands of the party, OF which
1t claims Hayes to be the chosen CHIEF
and representative. Considering that
the proprietors OF the Republican are oil
Federal or State officers Of the straitest
sect of the party, We recognize their au-
thority to set forth the objects. princi-
pies and ideas thereof, and our duty to
communicate to the Commissioners the
exact purport and nature OF their claims
and demands.
What is demanded of President Hayes
administration and of the Republican
party enthroned In power at Wash
ington, is embodied by the Republican
In the following propositions:
1. The President should demonstrate q sufi-
cient military force to enforce obedience to bis
acts. He should order the disarmament and dis
banding OF all armed organizations, whether
''troops' Of The Safe or insurre0ionary bands
threatening the authority OF the State and nation
sl forces.
In other words, the President should
maintain standing army in every State
to enforce obedience to his acts, on q
general presumption that there are al
ways armed organizations threatening
the authority of the State and national
forces.
2. He should install. when necessary. and
maintain in all cases. the officers and Hepresen-
tatives, State and municipal, certified according
to law by the Returning Board of 1876.
That is, that not the State or the peo-
pie should install the officers OF the
State and municipal governments, but
the President should do 1t, and do 1t In
conformity to the DEGREES Of Madison
Wells. Tom Anderson and two other
Radical rapscallions and .perjurers,
thereby making the President Of the
United States sort Of constable or
bumbailiff to execute the writs Of the
most scoundrelly tribunal ever set up
in Christian or civilized country.
8. He should employ the ''infuence' Of the
government ''to establish this right Of the
people, II has emAncipsted, BY comforting all
Federal appointments, principal and subordi-
nate, upon Republicans qualified according TO
the terms OF his inaugural, but with the add.
tional and indispensable condition that they shall
be bound by ties Of investment, business. kin.
dred and evident purpose to abide 10 the State
during and after the term OF their official service.
TO enable the President to execute the
orders OF Wells and Anderson, he must
appoint none but men OF like character
to help, to assist him. preferring. how
ever, scalawags to freshly imported car
pet baggers, and requiring some sort Of
security that they will not run away
after filling their carpet bags with plum
der.
Omitting two other propositions, that
have nothing distinctive in them, as
they only embody what all parties agree
In, we come to the last, which may be |
styled the epitome and summing up Of
Iii the principles, objects, aims and
spirit OF the party which has the inso-
ence and audacity to lay before respect
.ble and distinguished citizens OF other
states its absurd claim for the protec-
ion and aid Of the United States to
INSTALL 1t in power and domination over
great and free State and people.
z. All Republican applicants for appointments
o state or municipal Office in Louisiana who may
10 wanting in the home qualification, as stated.
re properly subjects for consideration at the
lands Of the National Republican party, and may
70 assigned appropriate positions, ut homo or
broad. elsewhere than in Louisiana.
This Is a plea and petition to provide
or the carpet baggers who may be ex-
luded from State and municipal Offices
~ the new scallawag rule set forth in
he preceding resolution.
When those who have fattened on the
,eople Of the State have gorged them
elves with the spoils OF State and
municipal offices and have failed to in
est their stealings in the State and
iven any evidence Of their intent to
bide herein, they must be taken care
I by the Federal Executive, must be
rovided with offices abroad or in other
tates.
These embrace the propositions and
emands which the Packardites present
,r the consideration and action OF the
commissioners now sitting in Parlor P.
We trust these gentlemen will give full
nd careful consideration Of these hon.,
st. modest and patriotic suggestions,
nd report the same to President Hayes.

ase about which they are taking so I
