THE LOUISIANA VIEW or PLAT,
FORM REPUTATION.

Representative Watkins of Louisi
ana thinks the defeat OF his party re.
leases him from obligation to its plat
form. The country voted for pro.
tective tariff. therefore. he says. it is
his duty. OF at least his privilege. to
help TO pile on the protection. But the
Shreveport district, which Is the one
he epresents-ostensibl at all events
voted for reform of the tariff; so
that in seeking for some sophistry
with which to excuse the helping hand
he gave the standpat republicans. Mr.
Watkins has seized upon a doctrine
that flaunts the local self.government
idea upon which many Of his associates
prefer 10 rely We think we will find
that, in his desperation. he has picked
up a red-hot poker; indeed. already he
seems vaguely conscious of 1t. II that
doctrine were true. a great many con.

freedom Of scuttiefish; and that Is
the very kind of freedom the people
can not prudently give to their repres.

Mr.. Watkins plea is more ingenious
than ingenious. The people will hard.
