pie of this State with a wooden horse
filed with inveterate foes. An undis-
guised Republican candidate would
stand very little chance, it is very
plain, and so resort is had to the crea-
ton of special and extra party issues.
Even Matt Wells pirates about being
an old Wing and internal improver.-
Anderson, we believe, has equal pre-
tensions to the suffrage of the State.
With the aid of a strong colored vote,
and the non resistance or indifference
of discontinued Conservatives, these
two men are not hopeless Of success in
country districts. In the city, of
course; they will not show their hands
so plainly. They will induce some
good but ambitious man to run on the
National or some other anti-Demo-
cratic ticket, and so endeavor to divide
and demoralize the Conservative ele-
ment in the State, even in this its
stronghold.
The Custom House and the Mint are
sources of influence which are readily
available in the perfection of the
scheme, and there is no doubt that
they will be used to that end. Recent
changes have been made in the Gus
tom House without other apparent
cause.
We think it our duty, therefore, to
sound the alarm. We caution all Con-
sentative voters against any iudepen
dent movement in State politics which
recognizes in any capacity such men
as Anderson and Wells. 1t has been
our only safety to combat them for
years, and it would be supreme folly
to relent towards them, even indirectly

CONSUMPTION CuRED.-An old physi-
clan, retired from practice, having had
placed in his hands by an East India
missionary the formula of simple veg
etable remedy for the speedy and per-
manent cure of consumption, bronchi-
tbs, catarrh, asthma, and all throat and
lung affections, also positive and rad
ical cure for nervous debility and all
nervous complaints, after having tested
its wonderful curative powers in thou
sands of cases, has felt it his duty to
make it known to his suffering fellows.
Actuated by this motive, and desire
to relieve human suffering, will send

ing and using, in German, French or

a Secret Movement.

1t is matter of general remark that
nobody in Louisiana, particularly no.
body in New Orleans, takes any inter-
est in politics now. 1t is natural that
in all properly constituted minds the ep-
idemic should occupy the first place,
should it not even become the sole sub
ject Of thought. Unfortunately
there are many minds not properly
constituted, and it is a great mistake
to suppose that there is nobody in this
city or State who takes an interest in
politics. On the contrary, there are
shrewd, calculating persons to be found
here and elsewhere who regard the ep-
idemic as timely and convenient
cover for political combinations of very
considerable compass and significance.
1t is becoming sort of open secret
that the Republican party and Admin
istration intend, if possible, to vindi.
cate themselves and the Returning
BOard-and they are all in the same
boat-br bringing all the resources of
their patronage and influence to secure
the election of Gel tain members of that
DOarO TO congress.
The honor of the Republican party
and Administration is inseparable from
from the personal repnte OF the men,
bers of the Returning Board. The
President has shown his appreciation
of this fact from the first. Witness the
promotion which he has accorded to
Messrs. Wells and Anderson. AL
though he has taken advantage of a
disputed legal distinction to recognize
the fnality of their official action as
canvassers Of election returns so far as
he is himself concerned and to ignore
it 30 far as the Governorsbip of Louis
lana is concerned, he has been very
careful to indorse them personally by
giving them offices, the occupancy of
which implies absolute trust worthi-
ness. He must be aware that the re-
lease of Msssrs., Anderson aud Wells
from the custody Of the Criminal Sher-
,iff was based entirely upon technical
grounds, and not upon the merits of
their defense. Nevertheless he has
continued them ia Office, to the utter
disparagement of his sincerity as a
civil service reformer. But Mr.. Hayes
feels that the damned spot" has not
yet been wiped off, and never can be
until Louisiana herself acknowledges
that he and the board have been more
sinned against than SHINING. Add to
this the vast importance of the contr oil
of the next House to the republican
party, and it is easy to see why the
leaders of that party should be work
ing industriously to send Messrs. Wells
and Anderson to Congress. ORG
The so-called independent move
ment, the political force embodied 10
the national, labor and social organiza-
tons, opens to these gentlemen the
opportunity of beguiling the good peo-

THE VOTERS OF RAPIDEs PARISH

AT the Convention of the Demo.
cratic Conservative party held at
Alexandria, La, on the 7th day of
September, the undersigned were
nominated as candidates for the Leg
islature.
We beg to assure our fellow cit
liens that this is no personal candi
dacy, the position offering US nei-
Their pleasure nor profit. We are
simply willing to serve the people if
the people desire our services. We
therefore make no personal appeal
for votes, but ask every voter fo con-
slider the matter candidly, and if af-
ter careful consideration be believes
it for the general interest and public
good, we should be glad to have his
support and influence.
After a brave, manly and gallan.
fight of eleven years the people of
this State at the last election sue
ceeded against all obstacles in the
effort to take charge of their own
destiny. The result of that supreme
effort was the entire overthrow of the
Republican party ESQ called) in this
State. When the Returning Board
was destroyed their leaders knew
that their cause was lost, but taking
advantage of a certain amount of
dissatisfaction which always (and
perhaps properly exists in success
full political organizations, they seek
to foster these jealoasies, thereby
hoping to reap benefit for their 9TH
erwise dead party.
We urge upon our friends that it is
too soon to divide and disintegrate;
that such a course would surrender
the field just as we have gained it,
and before we have acquired the
fruits.
We know that the last Legislature
did not give entire satisfaction to
our people, but it did take steps in
the right direction. 1t saved 10 the
annual expenses Of government about
one and a half millions Of dollars;
reduced our State taxes from 145 to
lS mills and made the reduction to
10 mills next year certainty, even
without more reform legislation
We are thus on the right road. Let
ns not turn back or aside, or be mis-
guided or mislead by the promises
or criticisms Of a party which while
in power sought only its own selfish
ends and our ruin.
We aope to see our fellow citizens
all before the election-but do not
wait for us. Remember that this is
the fight of every man who desires
to advance in the way of good gov.
eminent and reform. Therefore, if
you desire success, go actively and
energetically TO work. Do not wait
for others, but go to work yourself.
Should you elect US, we promise to
be your faithful servants to the best
of our ability.
