will be made. In those parishes,
however, which are considered any
ways doubtful, they will place in the
Geld what they are pleased to call
independent" tickets, which will be
composed mainly Of old, broken down
Radical politicians, with a good man
mixed in now and then to give it res

representatives. on these tickets are in
every case to be Radicals of the deep.

toward both parties.
The Time has Come for Action.
From the indianapolis Sentinel.
The time has come for action. Tho
overthrow of these misc1eants must in.
augurate a new era in American politics.
Subserviency now means submission to

Hayes Had Full knowledge Of the
Fraud.
From the Savannah News.
These confessions show conclusively
that the treason of che Florida officials
against the Constitution and the rights
of the American people was but part
of a deliberate scheme of villainy con-
cocted i'll Washington, and carried into
execution at the inAtigation and with
the full knowledge Of Hayes.
Hayes is a Usurper.
From the New Orleans Democrat.
Mr.. Hayes is fraud lie holds his
office in violation of the Constitution
and the laws; he was placed in Office by
a conspiracy which trampled upon tho
legally expressed will of the people he
is usurper, pure and simple. 1t is
strange language, therefore, Democrats,
or, for that matter, American citizens of
any political party, use when they speak
of the policy Of acquiescing in his usur-
patton.
Hayes will Dodge the Issue.
From the Baltimore Sun.
The personal friends Of Mr.. Hayes will
direct their efforts in case of investiga-
ton to enlarge the scope, so as to in
clude various collateral questions, tho
purpose being to protract the investiga-
ton that it may be made practically
useless. The anti-Administrati0n Re-
publicans will doubtless find it to their
interest to assist in this plan of tactics.
