THE CAMP OF THE FAITHFUL.

The prettiest kind OF fight is opening up In
tho ranks OF the Republicans. and the indioa-
lions are that 1t will be fierce one before IL
ends.
The struggle is between the branch OF the
party known as the Colored Mems Protective
Union and the Custom House ring. and is for
control OF the party organization In the city
with view OF influencing the selection OF dele
gates to tho national Republican nominating
convention.
The Union has become satisfied that the Gus
tom House people who direct the movements
and actions OF the state and Parish COMMITTEES
selected and named by themselves without re-
gard to the wishes or desires, Of the large fac
lead. aud the Union is furthermore convinced
that the Custom House delegation will be
pledged TO Sherman to whom II Ia opposed.
With these convictions the Union. aided and
abeted by following outside OF Its members
has made a bold move towards frustrating the
alleged designs Of he Custom House leaders.
