0egEareb not by the turn Ola card,
but ~ the Intervention Of what
the losers believe is q fragrant
wrong. This is the termination of
o fierce contest and the breach is
as wide as ever.
Patriotic gentlemen have come
to the Picayune, asking that some
thing be said in the interest of har-
meny. Well, the Picayune, which
did not bring on this ferocious cam
paIgn of hate, which has not ma
ligned OF slandered anybody, which
calmly held and openly expressed
It's opinions despite the maligniy
and wanton lies that were prOpa-
gated against it, will say a word.
The Picayune loves the Democratic
party. 1t is devoted to the grand
old party of the people, which it
has supported before many of the.
slander-mOngers were born. 1t will
say a word for the restoration of
peace and unity. 1t says this:
Gentlemen ofthe Foster following,
the advances and overtures must
come from you. You possess the
machinery and the power of the
State. You have possession OF the
polls and the polllboOks. You AFRO
gate to yourselves the right to all
the Offices, emOluments and patrO-
mage attached to the State Govern
ment. You hold all this by virtue
OF a majority, no matter how OBJ
tanned, so small and so pitiful, that
You a claim the support of only
one-half of the Democratic party.
The other half of the Democrats,
smarting with defeat, ranking with
asense ofinjustice and wrong doing,
are not to be whipped into harmony.
They will not endure the lash for a
moment. They will not serve as
slaves to another half. If you want
to pacify and appease them, adj
dress them as brothers, assure them
that they still have a substantial
interest in the party. Offer them a
fair share of the Offices. This is the
first step to harmony. This will be
q real movement towards brother.
hood and restored unity. This and
nothing less is required.
1t is useless to preach platitudes
of piety and patriotism to men III
such a temper. If you need iii.
help ofhalf the Democratic party
of the State to secure the triumph
of the party, then win it by fair and
~fraternal means.
The Picayune will do all in its
power to aid in the restoration Of
harmony. 1t will do all in its power
to heal the breaches and to restore
brotherhood; but its efforts will be
unavailing unless the first and most
fair aud liberal and Iraternal adj
vances are made by Mr.. Foster and
his followers.
AS for the Picayune, it wants
nothing. 1t has not one word to
retract, not a single act to undo,
not a sentiment expressed in the
past campaign to regret. For those
who have assaulted it with detractiOn
it has only indifference or contempt.
1t has always worked devotedly for
the Democratic party and it ex-
poets to do so. 1t wants, above all,
Democratic harmony. It has piJnt-
ed out how it may be secured.
There is III other way.-Plcdyune.
