In their violent opposition to
the Fontelieu regime we think the
Gates faction in Iberia have al.
lowed their feelings to rather get
the better of their discretion.
This is readily manifested in this
recent onslaught upon Hon. c.
H. Mouton, District Attorney Of
the 2lst judicial district. We
thought that if patriotism and un-
selfish devotion to country would
procure immunity from the sings
and arrows Of SANDER and politi-
cal venom, that he had earned
that exemption years ago. His
Democracy is of no recent date
and has never swervcd thro' all
the dark days Of Radicalism and
corruption. This is considerable
more than can be said Of those
who assume to be his betters and
besmear his fair name, and mock
his grey hairs. File for Shame.

ence to voting the size of tickets,
the paper wherein, and soforth,
and solorth. Was there ever such
an imposition practised on a free

and disgrace to those who con-
ceiscd it and who expect thereby
to bind, restrict and enthral the
citizens ia tire exercise Of the cleo
tive franchise, for it amounts to
nothing else and it's objects are
unambiguously evident. Why ?
tell a man, you shall vote on such
paper =; that paper shall be Of GER
tain dimension, you shall not
erase, you shall not intulineate,
tcke it as handed to you or your
vote don't count ; why not cut
