A Warm Summer Ahead.

The Courier Journal wishes to put itself
on record for once as weather prophet,
and here makes the prediction that we are
going to have an unusually warm sum-
mer There are more reasons than one for
believing this. but one ought to be suffi.
cient to convince those who are skeptical
concerning weather lore that we do not
speak at haphazard.
A few days ago there appeared in our
esteemed Blaine contemporary. The New
York Tribune, dispatch saying that un
less the Hon John Sherman shall secure
a united delegation to the Republican na.
tional convention from Ohio he will with

Nobody who knows Mr. Sherman cred
tied it. Nobody acquainted with the situa
tion in Ohio believed that he could get a
united delegation from that state No

his efforts to secure tho presidential nomi.

was prepared for the entirely superhuous
and uncharacteristically heated denial
which Mr. Sherman FASTENED to hurl at
The Tribune, in which he, actually grew
so torrid as to brand the dispatch as IAN
unmitigated lie in substance and detail
Now. we submit that when the Hon
John Sherman, of all men, begins to
erupt in this incandescent style, before the
spring has fairly opened. and while the
frost is yet in the air. there is the best
grounds for saying that the summer is
going to be unusually warm particularly

Never had party better chance to
revolutionize state than the Republican
party have just had in Louisiana But
Democrats who had property interests
threatened by Democratic legislation, and
Democrats who hated each other, alike
forgot everything in view of the outside
pressure that the Republicans brought
upon their state. They would not rebel
and they would not divide while the
alternative was in accepting party which
kept up an assault against their state on
sectional grounds, AS to Virginia, the
Republicans made the mistake Of allying
themselves with dishonesty there. As re.
CARDS the whole south. their attitude is
enc of sectional hostility, The density Of
prejudice that is still unconvinced of the
futility. if not of the injustice, of this
policy is amazing Sherman. Chandler and
Ingalls, have just thrown away as promis
ing chance to carry three, if not more
southern states as could well have been
offered
The original tactics in this respect, as
originated by Mr.. Blaine in 1876 were to
disregard the south as a voting popula
tion-to abuse it, in fact unjustly. with
view of gaining the north by appeal to
spirit of animosity, the remnant of the
war, toward that other section AS q
cold blooded politicians policy this might
have had some reason then 1t has none
left now We doubt if a vote at the
north is to be gained by bloody shirt ap
peals which is not more than neutralized
by two votes repelled by such methods
Ordinary sagacity, therefore, should have
seen that while everything is repelled at
the south more strongly, If possible. than
ever, the time has come when nothing is
obtained at the north to offset it But in
grained habit and hidebound prejudice are
too much for Bourbon politicians They
go on in their old way This election in
Louisiana is the first response to it.-Bos

Wherein Conspiracy Miscarried.


The Democratic triumph in Louisiana
is the noble answer of proud and self
respecting people to the conspirators who
have sought to lead them from the path
of honor and conscience by the lure of
self interest
Warmoth and his fellow conspirators
chiefly relied on the dissatisfaction of the
sugar interest with the Democratic plan
of tax reform for the votes that would
place the fortunes of the state in their
grasping and sordid hands They also
counted Oh the survival of the animosities
of severe conflict within Democratic
party to transfer to their camp contin.
gent eager for political spoils
On both lines their calculations have
failed and majority that is large in
comparison with the total vote of the
state has buried them out of sight, and
with them all hope Of the Republican
party of making an impression on the
Democratic vote Of the south during this
presidential year.
We congratulate the Democracy of
Louisiana OH the devotion to principle
and the excellent party discipline which
have rescued the state-and indeed the
country-from what might have been a
great peril York Star.

Tn. Louisiana Election.

Louisiana Is again Democratic BY an
overwhelming majority.
Thus Republican hope to break the
solid south goes up In smoke. and an.
other riyet Is fastened into the already
substantial frame work which holds the
south together in support Of honest gov
ernment
Nothing could have been better for the
Democracy than the course adopted by
the Republicans In the Louisiana cam.
paign. There has never been the slight
est doubt as to the result, but the signal
victory Of the Democratic ticket will
serve two purposes; 6rst, 1t gives the
party renewed encouragement and assures
it that no side issues can ever cause suf-
6cient detection in its ranks to impair its
strength, and second. 1t conclusively
demonstrates to the Republicans that the
south appreciates the necessity Of standing
by the Democratic party. and that it will
do so under all circumstances.
The Republican party centered all of its
strength in the Louisiana campaign. Had
it been successful, the entering wedge
would have been driven and the result
would havo been. to say the least Of livery
threatening to the Democratic party The
Republicans saw their opportunity and,
having combination of circumstances in
their favor to aid them in making a vigor-
Gus campaign in Louisiana, determined to
stake all hopes of breaking the solid south
on the result The Democrats were divided
among themselves not only on personal
issues. but the Republicans had strong
faith that the tariff question would be the
apple of discord which would create still
wider division in their ranks, Of all
southern states. Louisiana was the one
which the Republicans believed to be suf-
6ciently ripe on the tariff question to al.
low that issue to take precedence of party
fealty There undoubtedly is very large
protection element in the Democracy OF
that state-probably more than in any
other southern state-and had this ele
ment deserted the Democracy the result
would have been different But it did not,
and it never will, in Louisiana or any other
southern state
So long as there is Republican party,
so long will there be solid south. When
the Republican party abandons the issues
which have united the south against it fol
these many years, then there will be nc
Republican party, and on other issues the
south may divide. .....
But as long as the issue is between
Democracy and Republicanism, the south
will remain unbroken. Constitu

Political clubs are as old as politics.
Originally, of course, they were secret,
for there was no press and speech was not
FREQ. But nowadays only the business
management need be private affair. and
the more open the discussions are the
better for the country. for true democratic
principles have such strength and merit
in themselves that the more they are dis
cussed the more firmly do the plain and
commonsense people grasp them. The
