THE Louisiana lottery swindlers have
not as tight grip on the State gov
eminent as they have had, yet it is
sufficient for the time being. A bill
submitting a constitutional amend
ment to do away with the crying scan
dial was defeated in the lower branch
of the legislature the other day by a
vote of AZ to 40. There is something
of encouragement in the closeness of
the vote and the narrowness of the
lottery gangs escape from defeat.
Sooner or later, public sentiment, even
In Louisiana, must be aroused to the
disgrace of the States attitude in
lending the shield of its sovereignty to
so bare-faced and gigantic swindle.

The Wicked Democrats"

In the heated campaign the managers
Of one party-the orators, oracles and or
gans-have steadily declared that the
other party was not fit to govern the
country, that the republic would not be
safe in its hands.
Now that the campaign is over, let MS
take a calm survey Of the facts. The
country is almost equally divided be-
tween the two leading parties. The great
issue upon which they were formed was
settled twenty years ago. No important
issue at present divides them. The real
issues run across both parties. These are
on the tariff, the currency, civil service
reform, and so on.
The Democrats party has had ma
jority in the House Of Representatives a
part Of the time in the last twelve wears.
1t has had three speakers Kerr, Randall
and Carlisle. Has whisper been
these men ? II 50, we have not heard of
it. The last three Republican Speakers
were Colfax, Blaine and Ketcr Have
they not all been suspected, charged with
dishonesty, and believed to be dishonest
by men of their own party:
That has been one specific question of
reform before tie country Of late-that
relating to the civil service The ma
tional bill was presented by Il Democrat
and supported by Democrats. 1t was
only passed by Republicans "under the
lash" a. Ex-Governor Long expressed it.
after the singing defeat of 1882 Tn"
New York bill was passed by a Demo,
cratic Legislature, and signed and faith
fully supported by a Democratic Cover
nor.
In short, in all places where they have
been tried since the war issues were set
tied, the Democrats have been as honest
and patriotic as the Republicans, and the
steady attempt to make the people believe
that they are not is disgrace to the re
public and an attempt to destroy the in
tegrity of free institutions.

DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT!
The Victory Won {!

Twcntytour years ago the Democratic
party went out of power in this country
For a time it was almost lost sight Of.
Sectional bitterness came i'll to destroy
its national existence, while tanaticism
>wayed the hearts Of the people to
such an extent that its principles were
we'll nigh forgotten. But notwithstand-
ING all this, as an organization, it cOntin-
ned to live.
Had it not been for it's defence of the
South-its magnanimity for fallen foe
it would long ere this have retured to the
control of the dcstinics of this great
country. But designing demagogues
made the people believe that this party,
which previous to our civil war had done
so much to dignity and develop the coun-
try and to make us as people honored
and respected by all the world,
was an enemy to the Union, and
sought to overthrow our most cherished
institutions. But is not the Democratic
victory which has just been gained an
other evidence that "Truth crushed to
earth will rise again.: And is not this
defeat Of the Republican party evidence
that the people will sooner or later de-
nouncc any party which is persistently
guilty OF an abuse of power:
Bat this defeat of the Republican party
is significant in other respects. The peo-
pie, through the ballot box and its polit-
cal organizations, declared what ull of us,
y orth and South, have long ago felt.
They have declared that sectional strife
has ended and that we are really united
people--united not only in our manifold
interests, but in patriotic devotion to
our common country.
This defeat also shows that any party
must stand on foundation Of sand which
endeavors to prolong its existence by
keeping alive in it's organization senti-
ments which the people individually have
ceased to cherish.
