Lincoln an opportunity of judging OF
the ability of the respective candidates
Before the war, when the Wing and
Democratic parties We'd with each 9th
er in nominating their ablest and best
men, when two or more candidates OF
the same political faith aspired to be-
come the nominee, joint discussions
were customary. But to-day our po-
litical leaders seem to think snch a
practice unnecessary, and in fact detri-
mental, as it has tendency to arouse
the masses, and in order to preserve
unity and harmony, it is better for the
people to remain ignorant and unac-
quainted with the candidates and blind

Our Political Muddle.

AHS IohiIctbC D0inOcFdtlc Executive
Committee met on last Wednesday and
appointed a set of delegates to the Dis
trict Congressional Convention to meet
at Baton Rouge. This same thing was
done by previous committee some
years ago, and we took occasion at the
time to condemn it as an usurpatinn of
authority and violative of the time
honored nsages of the party. 1t was a
bad precedent then, Notwithstanding
the excuses given g for want of time to
hold primary elections for ward dele
gates," &c, and it is an unwise poliii-
cal move now, which we condemn from
the same standpoint thai we did then.
We therefore look upon this appoint
ment of delegates by the Estilette Com
mittee as a transgression of time-hon
ored custom and precedent bnt little
inferior IN enormity to the act OF the
Convention which transcended its le
gitimate authority in electing the Lit
tell Executive Committee.
Under the paramount rule that Exec
utive Committees shall hold over until
another Committee is chosen by II Con
vention just before a general election,
the Littell Committee is simply il nnl-
lity without any political existence
whatever, aud any appointment of del
egates made through its instrumental
ty is of course absolutely void. The ac-
ton Of the Estiiette Committee. al.
though irregular, must therefore be ac.
eepted by the District Convention, thai
Committee being the only legal source
