AN INCONGRUOUS RABBLE.

alleges that Tom Anderson has
been nominated by the Nationals 10
the Sixth District. and Mad Wells
in the Fourt District for Congress.
From the reports of the process.
ings of the National Convention.
con tanned in New Orleans papers,
this allegation is shown TO be ut>
terly false. This must have been
discovered by the clouded mind Of
the .Adrocate. yet no correction has
been made. After this can the
people trust the Advocafe ?-Baton
Rotge Herald.
The facts relative to the anti
| Democratic candidates for Con-
Gress are simply these: In the
First District the so-ca!led Nations
ais have nominated Mr.. II. G. Cas-
tcllanos, the leading attorney for
the Returning Board. In the Sec
ond District the same organization
has nominated Judge E. North
Cul,om. also an attorney of the
Returning Board. In the Third
District Morris Marks, a Hayes
elector aud sympathizor and parti>
san of the Returning Board, is an
indepe ndent candidate for Con-
gress. Ia the Fourth District, Mad
Wells, the chief of that Returning
Board, is the Independent candl.
date for Congress. In the FIRST
District the infamous Lude!ing
who, as Chief Justice of Louisiana,
sustained the constitu,ionality Of
the Reforming Board law, and the
legality of all the frauds perpetra-
ted under it, is the. Republican
candidate for Congress-. In the
Sixth District. Tom Anderson, Mad
Wells associate in he Recurring
Board, is to be the independent or
Re- ublicun candidate.
In the latter district a Mr.. Lara
more, a respectable bat gullbIe
gentleman, i an independent can
ditatc. But it is an open secret,
known 10 everybody but himself,
that that gentleman is the stool pi-
geon OF the Custom House, and
lhat his cand;dAtu:c is designed to
| divide inc Democratic vote and
ibus leave fair opening for An
dcrs0n to run in.
Thus we find that the anti~Dem
ocratc ticket from top to bottom
j. ticket representing, not The peo-
pie but The Returning Boa d and
al! the injqnitics which have trans
pircd in Louisiana politics in the
past ten years.
Some OF the candidates on this
anti-HemOcGatic or Returning
Board ticket a.e Nationals champ.

trincs which tie insanity Of time
has devised others are Eadica s
representing contraction and the
national back monopoly. Among
them may be found advocates Of
all the diverse and antagouis ic
principles of the period. Support
ing this motley ticket We find q
sill more motley aggregation Of
fact Radicals, Nationals Com
munists, Native Americans, ne
groes, soreheaded Democrats.
Thugs, aud every other element Of
opposi ion to the Democratic rarty ,
the homogeneous rabblc hormonzed
by the one eager purpose to defeat
the Democratic party, one faction
as a viudca ton of he Returning
Board and Hayes title, another to
check the great work Of rctrench-
ment begun by the present admin
istration, and al to gobh!e up the
spells.
The Baton Rouge Advocote has
not, therefore, made serious mis-
take ia ranking Tom Anderson and
Mad Wells as candidates Of the
Nationals. Wells is already out as a
fall hedged independent and should
the misguided Laranoro continue
to permit himself to be the dupe of
tie Custom-Housc, and the game
succeed 10 the extent of creating any
considerable disse@sion in the ranks
of the Democracy Of the Sixth
District, Tom will Immediately
develop himself. Every Democrat
and Conservative in the Skill
District who votes for Laramole
strikes blow at the honor of BIZ
State, for his vote amounts to
! vote for Keno Auderson.-N. q
