Republicans i'm La.
fOurche.

BY some inscrutable decree of
a mysterious Providence, one
Marcelin A. Ledet was made,
some time ago, chairman of the
Republican Central Committee of
the Parish of Latourche. Why
such a selection ever was made is
one OF the wonderful mysteries of
the nineteenth century. It must
have been his good looks that car
ried him through and brought to
him promotion and glory.
The faithful were anxious to
have a meeting of the Central
Committee, they asked Ledet to
call a meeting; he refused. They
petitioned him in writing to sum
mon the members together. LIE
Diet didn't SEQ the point. With
tears In their eyes they kneeled
and begged him by the memory
of their dead ancestors to call a
meeting. Ledet was inexorable
ard advised the suppliants to
battle their heads in cold water.
They did so, and felt better aud
got mad. They called a meeting
of the Central Committee to as
semble on July 4. which old men
remember as once having been a
day of joy and frecrackers. Wrap
ping the old flag around their
waists the faithful met in the
building Oh the corner of Market
aud st. Louis streets. The great
Mogul, Ledet ensconced himself
in a big arm chair in the Franklin
house, ard with 2 cent palmetto
fan, cooled the burning thoughts
that were worrying the genial in
spirations OF his gigantic intellect.
The convention worried aud
set, the members GRATED and
sweat.
Twicethe sonorous voice of ora
tolical Bob Higginbotham:aw
us,,ont OF our noon day snooze.
Then a committee was appoint
ed to visit Achilles Ledet in his
tent. They wrestled and they
prayed and they swore. but tho
faithful lieutenant of the master
who kept min in good clothes was
as firm as a rock upon a dung
hill.
The committee again met, and
they spoke angry words, and pass
ell compliments and adjourned
over to meet again.
1t seems that the members of
this Central Committee have cot
ten into their thick craniums an
idea that each member of the com
m'tlee has rs much power as the
chairman OF the committee.
Such an assumption will com
pletely overthrow all the usages
and upset all the traditions of
the past history of the Pious Re
publican party and render null
all its God and Morality purity.
Ledet is right, members of a
committee have nothing to do, af
fer they elect a chairman, only to
obey his orders and there Is no
wonder that when the members of
tins committee began to interfere
with his prerogatives that Ledet
stood upon his dignity and pre-
stnted a front as bold as Sir
VIM. Goat when about to but the
Rocky Mountains.
Ledet il right.
Our advice is to stick to his
rights, to stand upon his dignity,
and never betray hls party 30
long AS it keeps him in good new
clothes and pays his board.
