WILL THEY GOMEZ


Our hopes are somewhat revived. 1t begins
to look as though Louisiana might, after all
be honored BY visit from number of those
mighty political warriors who have risen Into
prominence as leaders OF the party oil
Capitalization, champions Of bayonet rule
and advocates q the army at the polls We
were decidedly inclined to fear that they
would not come, notwithstanding our urgent
and cordial invitation, but the New York
Herald, OF the third instant, has lifted us up
again and made us cheerful and happy. by
earnestly advising eminent and oratorlcal
Republicans to come to Louisiana, which adj
vice may have the effect of securing the pres
ence Of the longed-for gentlemen In our
State. Tho Herald says:
| Our own Information Is. that IL half a dozen
we'll known Northern Republican statesmen
Will 20 down 70 Louisiana and make two or
| three rpseches each. between now and the Soc
| OR1 of December that State will be carried by
the Republicans. and wi the he p of n large
nnF ss p tb Whs VINO nave sup
tlemen, here Is your opportunity.
While not percelving as clearly as the Her
aid the briliancy Of the opening for the Re
publican statesmen" nor conceding the effect
X,
we are so anxious to have them with us that
we hope they may be deluded by the latter
ing prospect held out to them and make haste
to come. Louisiana Is hungry for them, and
children cry for them as for patent medicated
candy. Our people are anxious to see real
live Radical orators with brains In their
heads, and long, for the very novelty of the
thing, to hear men who call themselves
statesmen and patriots grow eloquent In ar
guing In favor of doctrines the success Of
which will inevitably result in the overthrow
Of the government and the establishment OF q
nation that will not only be written with a big
N, but which will be ruled over by King.
They wish to soc the men who would deprive
the Southern white people Of the right Of suf-
frage while calling upon the army Of the
United States to protect the negro in his priv
uege Of voting the Radical ticket; men who
have scattered over the North and through
the world the most horrible and damaging
statements about the South, and who are sat
urated with prejudice and with hatred.
These men, grievously as they have wronged
US, terrible as has been the fate of Louisiana
under their rule will be welcomed; for we
aud most malignant foes; we court inquiry
and investigation, and we shall hall the ar
rival of Mossrs. Blaine, Conkling, Hoar, Gar
field and Foster, or any of them, as most
suspicious event for our people who, some
what inclined to be over confident of success,
need just the stimulus which their coming
would give, to rouse them to action and weld
them into a compact and solid mass In oppo-
sition, which would place victory beyond the
realm Of peradventure.
We have only one fear, which is that the
orators referred to are too shrewd to commit
any such mistake. They are too old In pol |
itics not to be able to accurately forecast the
result, and hence, while our hopes are some
what raised, we are not over-confident as to |
their coming. They would need to speak |
with the force Of inspiration In order to con-
vince the people that the Radical party, |
which has prosecuted them and robbed them, I
as few people have ever been prosecuted and
robbed, was indeed their friend, and had |
only chastened them In kindness, as a |
parent corrects his hayward children.
II there were white citizens anywhere in the
State who had thought to be neutral and take |
20 part In this campaign the very presence OF
these stalWart Radicals who have been
the doctrine Of hate and denounc-
Ing the Southern people as unworthy of the
boon of free government, would rouse them |
from their inaction and cause them to become
active workers for the success of the Demo-
cratic ticket. The lecturing tour of the addle-
Dated editor of the Okalona States through
he West, which was magnificent failure,
vas really a success compared to what the
'forts Of Blaine, Conkling d Co. would be In
louisiana. Send us these men, or men OF
heir kidney by all means, for while 1t is
arely possible we might convince them of
ONE Of their many errors 1t is certain they
vould solidify the Democracy so as to render
he Republican defeat more overwhelming.
II Mr.. Kellogg be really anxious to make
ONE reparation to the State he has 80 griev- l
usly injured let him use his best endeavors
send the great Republican guns down here b
] soon Is possible. They will be received o
ith open arms to most hospitable State. 10
