There was nothing unusual in the
action OF the Republicans trading
off the negroes to Webb in this dis
trict by the resignation of Donnally
but Guice's bartering the white men
of the Third party to the Republican
electors, is a little bolder political
move than we have heard of for some
time. The audacity OF the thing is
its only merit, because it cannot pos
sibly be expected that the free Ameri-
can citizens of the Western parish
es will submit to such bargain and
sale.
