The Republ'cans-that is, the
HOwell--Herwig branch-and the
Populists put up separate tickets at
Alexandria ON the 9th inst.
The Republican tick headed by
Z. Taylor Cade, bulldozer of the
Attakapas regions, was no sooner
named than it began TO fall to pieces.
The leaders OF the two parties at
once began scheming to effect u
combine, and after securing the
country for willing victims, and
receiving several rebufis, they put
forth last Tuesday the following
ticket, as the result of their frantic
efforts, to-wit:
For GUvernor-Don. CafFery, Jr,
of St Mary.
For Lieutenant &C vernor-D. NJ.
ShOlars of Orleans.
For Secretary of State-C. Taylor
Csde of Iberia.
For Auditory. H. Deehotels of
St. Landry.
For Treasurer-George Hassinger
of Orleans.
For Alto. ney General-W. G..
WyIy of East Carroll.
For Superintendent Of Education -
q. B. Staples.
A more heterog aneous aggregation
of individuals could not be again
scraped together IN . six months
search with q fine tooth cont
throughout the length and breadth OF
the State.
There is absolutely nothing il
common between them, save ahC
except the lust of Office and hatrr(
of Gov. Foster and what their feveret
imaginations have painted as "fos-
:erism."
On the other hand. many Of thes'
patriots (?) have held in the past
and, for aught We know, still hold
dismetticalIy opposite We've on vita
issues of the day. Caffery is a gold
bug and free-trader Of pronounce et

the other Republicans are high.

The Combine Ticket.

After hunting the woods for up
wards of two weeks the Pop Republi.
can combine succeeded in landing
in their trap State ticket. The
ticket contains the names of several
very excellent gentlemen who would
capabIy fill their respective offices, if
they had the remotest chance of
election il they were running on any
other ground than that which consti.
tutes perhaps the meanest impulse
OF poor humanity hatred Of an indivi.
dual who has we'll served his party
and his State ind whose only sin IN
the eyes of these gentlemen is that
he has failed to meet their peculiar
and inOrdinate ambitions.
Out Of their fcveled imaginations
these gentlemen have shaped mon
ster and called it Foster, q monstrosi-
ty and termed it Foster,sm, and this,
BY their own confession, is the sole
tie that binds them together, the soc
impulse that instlgates their action.
The head of the ticket is . "goldbug'
Of the most pronounced coinage, while
the Populist end of the combine are
raving for free silver at Is to I. He
is a free trader, while the Republican
contingent Of bis support are high
protectionists of the deepest dye.
The head of the ticket is q gold bug
Democrat, the Lieutenant Governor
Is 16 to l raving Populist, aud this
utter Inconsistency runs through the
whole ticket.
The combine concede this, but
reply, ITO hell with your political
principle; We recognize no boud OF
union Or object in politics but to
destroy Murphy J. Foster, and though
we recognize in the Democratic can
didate for Governor an es.imable and
able and honest nan, he is q friend
of Foster and therefore he, too, must
die"
Was ever there q more miserable
little and contemplate platform de
vised by the hate or malignity Oi
men? As we have said before. nc
State and no nation can be carried
in q civilized country on the issue Of
hate. Poor human nature has many
mean and vicious qualities, but We
thank Heaven it is nowhere, except
among savages, 80 debased as to sec
nothing in politics except hate and
vengeance.
A campaign Of this sort was lnsti
tuted against Thomas Jefferson, and
yet jefferson was President twice and
his memory survives as the father ol
Democracy AMI the abiest. wisest and
most single.hearted, Of our early
statesmen and Presidents. Webster

Foster and the Democratic party
and Jackson, backed By the American
people, put under his foot the great

quiries arising out of the relations OF the
public schools TO the recent cases of con-
tagious or epidemic diseases in the state.
the superintendent of public instruction
has issued the following opinions: In
cases of suspension of school on account
of supposed epidemic or CONTAGIOUS dis
eases, II is the opinion of this office that
the teacher is still in the pay of the
district unless otherwise expressed in the
contract.
Relating to an inquiry concerning a
rule by a board of directors requiring sue
ceSsfil vaccination as one of the condi-
tions of membership in the public schools.
IL is the opinion of this office that there
is some doubt about the validity OF a
statute requiring vaccination, and In the
absence of specific statutes comforting
authority on school board. there APP
pears TO exist no power to keep child
out of the public schools because he has
not been vaccnated in accordance with
a rule prescribed by a board of directors.
The child might be excluded II he comes
from a family in which conta gious or
epidemic disease is known to exist, but
not for the violation of a rule requiring
vaccination.

be discontinued. He recommended a new
route up the Selah. over the grade and
