| The speakers at the Mc!Incry
meeting held in New Orleans Tues
day night all agreed on one point.
which is, that the administration q
Gov. Foster was clean and free
from all scandals, and that the
chief executive himself is an excel
lent gentleman, able and honest
but they have one objection to him.
They do not like his associates.
They have become SO pure and the
spirit OF reform has SO completely
taken possession OF their souls that
the man himself must not only be
pure, but his associates must be
above rcrroach. They do not con-
slider John Fitzpatrick and the other
ward leaders as good company and
they object to Gov, Foster because
he has been SO unfortunate as to
have won to his support these ger
t!emcn whose besetting sin seems to
be that they are s'ward leaders. "
Such pure and immaculate gentle
men as Gabe Montegut, B. +. Jo-
mas, 6. J. Boatner, can not bear the
sight of ''ward leaders," They
have suddenly reached such a de-
gree Of perfection that they will &C
tually oppose Gov. Foster because
his association is not up to the
standard of the very recent advo-
Gates Of reform
When it is taken in consideration
IT, at John Fitzpatrick and the other
leaders were three years ago the
closest friends of these same self
anointed gentlemen their hypocriti-
cal protest against their former as
soCiates is about the most amusing
piece Of political comedy Of the age.
Have these new converts to the
cause of political purity been quietly
attending some "reform school, or
have they been secretly undergoing
some process Of publication by
which they have been cleansed Of
their old time sinfulncss. for aCcor-
ding to the new code it is sinful to
be on good terms with "bosscs' and
wicked to belong to
1 'ring.'
Though they are principally re-
'pons blc for the election Of NIavor
litz. patrick and the other municipal
officers, they will not forgive Gov
Foster for accepting support from
The city administration forces.
They will not even allow the Cover
lor the priv lcgc Of exchanging a
ew words with them as they pass
~. There must be Il gulf between +;
hem as wide as the continent and !
Is deep as the ocean.
