This is clearly azair.st theU t and Intention of the primary and is an attempt on thl part of bosses to control the politics of state as well as of the city of New STheir alm is to throw the full weight the organization against the divid country parishes, and by that to elect men in accord with I Views. Their action in forming i.,ional ticket, in which New Or gets three of the remaining oflio and a parish within a stone's of NL' Orleans gets the other, by which the balance of hbe State 4tft of representation on the Ste ticket, is unfair, and, if success l1t, will bring the country, as well as Sity, under the domination of this 1 political machine. purpose of the primary law is y machine politics and to re Its evils, and this open and au attempt to Lontinue the sys* Is Not on! V. a violation of the law, is an insult to t'he intelligence and of the people and an injustI ASO the candidates who submit their Sgos under that law. My contention is that the bosses dolaMe the law when they announce a 1kih of their own, and the candidates :.-ibecome the beneticiaries of th~lr qbiglO, not only violate the a !t, i pledge which they give the people :.101 do so. The fact that I solicit ý 4' 4 support of the bosses does not t dS the situation. I never sought tli combined endorsemant, and feel ': *Il could nothonorablv have done g: a a primary whose basic priuniple IbIpposed to such action, and under W pledge to the people of this State i bt I would not. onsider it radically Wrong and" i 4st~locratic in principle to use the Sand discipline of caucus action p Jy subordinate party organiza* Ip to coerce the majority o f such or i okn taains5 an meber of leb prty, but tLero eau be no doubt tg wruong heu a wa framed by ( ( tparty itself condemns such ac , o0. I am told tthat this is the e't tPle the primary law in MilsA'sP's It Sad that any attempt to cor.trol the loters of that state has never failed to saelve the resentment of the peoPle But there is this, moreover, I obilctionable and offnsive to our . W eof self-respeet and manhood,& sad that is the clear attempt of the b to ex:. ,d their control o' r . i oll tioa lt the lState, and o cent n ll1h the uower of State administr'" . OS ina New- Orleans and its vicinitY. TheN are four remsining State cen 1::tr)lats to be ,,minalted at the second 1ilsanry, unamrelV: the Lieutenant Gov or, the Atorney General, Auditor S a Registrar of Land Ollic. Three of these, to-.wit: Messrs. Guion, Cap -devisUe and Crandell, are residents of I !" dt of New Orleans, and are ident iled with her ev'ery intcrcst, and ir. I lear t representation in the St kt.F's anminia- c tration, and it is to he hoped that the t country, at least, will not stand for such a condition. I trust the people of this State will not permit themselves to be dismayed by the dictum of the bosses. 'T'here is a strong feeling in the city against it, which need only assert itself at the polls. But if New Orleans is inert In her sense of self-respect and man hood, there is still the country, to which we might look for our redemp tion from ring rule and domination. Men are nothing to the people be yondthe principles for which they stand, and if the bosses have selected aT nd put out a ticket, it is not on ac count of their love for the candidates they nominated, but because they re present ideas and principles in accord with their own. It may be the boast of the bosses that they have th.- city of New Orleans under their power, and that the sub missiveness of her people has rendered them bold, and they wish to extend that power over the country. That appears to be the drift of events. It is up to the I)eople of the State to say whether it shall be so. The issue is clearly made. The verdict will be renderad on the 25th inst. There can be no question as to the result if the people will turn out and vote. Men of Louisiana, stand by the primary Ilaw' Lespectfu' v, SA. V.
