The Republican State Execu
tive Committee has, on last Sat
urday, decreed the holding of 4
State Convention in the City OF
New Orleans on the 10th. OF next
month.
The utter decentralization of that
unincky party has long been an
open secret. and it was expected.
that it would lie low tiii, fall,
and just bank On general results.
This would certainly have been
the best they could have dont.
They have 40 money Tor travel
ling purposes, and, besides the
d~jsgraceful scenes OF their last
State Convention certainly should

has allotted all the fat things TO
their ''plain' brethren. AS II. in

could be otherwise. Hayes was
made President not blythe votes
OF co'ored men, but by the man

he Is bound to take care OF the

Now they calculate, that. be.

the general absence OF the sinews
