BY Special Wire to the Sunday Light.
New Orleans, Oct 24.-The regulars
and sugar planter Republicans reach
ed an amicable agreement today.
The bone of contention has been the
negro. The Regulars had put up an
electoral ticket with two negroes on
it. The sugar planters persistently
refused to recognize the negro or vote
the ticket with the negro on 1t. Ma
tional Committeeman Wimberly insited
that the negro must be recognized and
was backed up in his contention by
Chairman Hanna, of the National Com
mittee. The planters finally surrender
ed and will support the regulars tick
ct, negro and all. The Regulars take
down their candidates for congress in
the First, Second and Third districts,
and will support the sugar planters
nominees. A joint address to voters
appears tomorrow. This agreement
makes the Republicans almost sure Of

the usual committees of congress will
