RIGHT SIDE UP AGAIN.

A good friend Of ours has suggested tina
the DEMOCRAT was hasty In charging thu
PIC with return to Its old game Of sappinl
and Mining the peoples organization. He
points out to us that on the very morning or
which our arraignment OF the PIC appeared
| yesterday, to wit:) that aged journal came
out In a leading editorial OF quite patriotic
complexion, thereby defending itself against
our accusations and placing itself In linz
| with the party and the people. An extract
from this leading editorial Is specially COM
mended to our notice, and this, by way Of &C
acknowledgements, we reproduce:
Men OF Orleans. to the front Let property.

only. and what are the masses to do?
We will admit that this reads we'll, as does
the fifteenth:
We need fifteen or twenty young Een who

Of organization. We need that they should 70

that. they will find behind them an invincible
backing. The Governor whoever he may be
aud however we'll disposed he may be. will be
guide. The country approaches crisis In its
history. God only knows what the future may
unfold II is enough to say that the time has
come for the best and ablest men to take the
places which belong to service and to worth.
These are the sentiments which the DEMO.

Gratis unfeignedly desire. II the PIC really
means 1t, and has, indeed, repented of her er-
rors, none will more gladly hail the event
than we, and none receive the wanderer with
more genuine qualification or with more
charitable forgetfulness Of the past.
But the PIC has not been talking In this
Wien OF late by any means. Ever since the
departure Of the delegates for Baton Rouge,
or, rather, since she discoved that she could
not carry the voters Of New Orleans upon
the wave OF her mushy sentimentaiism, the
Pic has been COMFORTING herself In most
unfriendly and eantankerous fashion. She
began by seoldlng right and left among the
delegates who declined to accept the orders
as to the action they should take, calling
ugly names and ugly stories which, beside,
were not true, and generally 'cutting up
with signal wrath and vehemenee. After the
conventions work was concluded the PIC
kept On In very much the same vein. ALI the
Old SANDERS were renewed In form and with
solemn emphasis. and then the Pic turned
herself loose, as 1t we're, with fresh fury upon
the ring. Here Is sample:
