As the first Republican who
Endorsed General Nichols, as one
who labored hard and earnestly
for his success, l may be allowed
to join in the chorus.
What the Republican party has
utterly failed to accomplish
during the past ten Or twelve
years. good aud honest Govern

our political enemies. Instead
therefore Of growing at the loss
of a few Offices, l sincerely be-
lieve that we owe thanks to the
fierce Democracy. What the lit

Republicans newer could succeed
in ACCOMPLISHMENTS expulsion
of the Warmoth rings, and the
placing OF publ. trusts into bet

said "The work of u%nitication is

at home and abroad. Capital aud
labor will come TO our State. Tax

Government curtailed. The race
prejudice is rapidly dying out.
No more will "my race" howl be
heard. No more will incompetent
men make Legislation a farce, and
the administ ration OF public at
fairs u burlesque. The wages OF
the laborer will increase, and the
price of the necessaries OF life de-
crease. Our levees and railroads
Will be built, our bayous cleaned
