GATHERING OF THE BUXa
YARDS.

Whenever there is State elec-
ton approaching in Louisiana tho
old time carpet.bag. scalawag and
nigger buzzards hover in our skies
and gather on our back fences, in
our alleys and musty old halls.
They come from Washington, from
South America, from New York and
dozens of other localities 10 which
their starvation through Democrat.
ic rule has driven them. It is said
that the buzzard has no sense Of
smell but that he has an eye keener
than that of an eagle, and can see
carton or the dead or dying beast
from. an immense distance. It is
we'll that he has no sense of smelIs
that is wise provision OF benevo.
lent Crea tor. IF the bnzzard could
smell he would no longer be a scav.
enger, and his use in the economy
of nature would be null. The car
pet-hag, sealawag buzzard, on the
contrary, has both keen eye and a
we'll developed SENSE of smell, aud
eagle eye discovers the coming Of
political campaign in Louisiana his
olfactories are quickened and de-
lighted by the oder Of the nigger,
and hence he comes in his fight
from every section Of the country in
the dim hopes of a renewal of the
feast of piunder and racaIity he
aourished on from 1858 to 1876.
The buzZards are here now in all
force, and are quite jubilant. They
realilize that they have never III
many years before had so fire an
opportunity to gorge themselves as
they have now. No doubt then are
rejoicing over the prospect of me-
groes in the State House, in tho
country courtbouses aud in the of
fees Of bonds and taxes. Even q
company of eagles that erstWhiio
were their most relentless enemies
have put their pathological hand
kerchiefs to their noses and are act.
ually focking with them.
But alas for the bdazards, their
day is ended, and ended for ever,
The white-winged spirit of nenocra.
and White Supremacy is invincihle
and though the old time carpet-bag
buzzard and old time scaIawag cor
morant bo joined by the new time
bounty grabber the whole a,ck
must git up and git" The White
Democracy of Louisiana is going to
rule the State, and neither onzz..rd,
nor coermorant nor bounty grahher
can prevail against tn O. Daily
States.
