1t was titanic struggle! White Su.
premacy, honesty and intelligence against
Republican despotism, dishonesty anc
ignorance! Backed by an enormous cor.
ruption fund raised in Northern States anc
stolen from Southern States and reinforced
by Federal bayonets, the Republican party
determined to buy, steal or coerce the cleo
. toral vote of the Southern States.
O From the Arkansas line to the Gulf the
. slogan was Tilden and Nichols! How
gallant, manly, and self-respecting was thu
bearing and conduct of the peerless Mich
oils during the eventful months interven'
ing between the 26th of July and the fina
n overthrow of Republican misrule and rob-
). berry in louisiana! Grants heavy hand
like Economical curse, lay upon Louisiana
n and her sister Southern States, and hi
mercenary soldiers enforced with alacrit!
the mandates of the unprincipled carpe
, bag governments in the South. Whel
Gen. Augur telegraphed that Louisian;
4 had gone Democratic, President Grant or
!. dered Phil Sheridan, the notorious bari
}. burner of the Shenandoah Valley, to TAX
command of the Department of the Gulf
: There was dirty work to do and Sheridan
was the man for part of the job. HOY
!. the people of the United States, by thei
!, suffrages, selected for President and Vic
l. President, Samuel Tilden and Thomas A
r Hendricks, and were deprived of thei
l. choice by illegal methods, bolstered b
3. frauds, perjuries and forgeries, isa matte
Ee of history
'. The Nichols Government was establish
te ed and Louisiana redeemed. In the Ian
70 guage of the Hon. jeremiah S. Black,
- the Electoral Commission, February q
ID 1877, "The refuge of lies shall be sweE
away, and the hiding place of falsehoo
!. shall be uncovered" and the carpet bag
70 gers occupation was gone forever, not onl
at in Louisiana, but in all of the Souther
" States, and he silently stole away to hi
ID Northern home with his dishonest gains
I'd Thirty-six years ago! Alas, the Girl
ic Reaper has been busy these many year.
3e and majority of those who nobly kel
to the faith and periodically fought the GOO
fight, have joined the Silent Majorit,
r. our matchless leader, the gallant Franc
he Tillou Nichols, being among the numbe
It. And "To the Past 60 moredead face
b. every year.
