81. Landry parish has two Dem
ocratie tickets in the field. One
of the fred, hota stripe, and the
other Of the Conservative order.
The fred hots," it appears, pro
pose to bully and bluff the Con
servatives; but the latter don't
scare worth cent-iudging from
the following from the Opelousas
Journal:
CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATIC
TIcKET.-To-day, throgh the col
umns of the Opelousas journal,
the Conservative Democrats of the
Parish of St. Landry, present their
ticket to the public.
The issues we make with the
so-called Simon pure Democrats,
are not to be choked down by po-
litical wire workers. They may
be summed up under three heads /:
LIST. While we, in common with
all good citizens, condemn the
legislation designed to remove
from office persons elected by the
people, we fully approve that poll
cy which was brought to bear to
fill vacancies with the best men in
the parish, and we endorse, with
one or two exceptions, the Guber-
material appointment so made.
I'd. We oppose the system of
mob law and violence, which seems
to have almost become a part of
the platform Of certain politicians
in this parish. Twice in the last
year we have had a mob, and we
have been threatened with many
more. All of us are familiar with
these threats. They SOW bitter
ness and discord amongst our
selves, provoke the wonder and
contempt of immigrants and stran-
gers, and are utterly rninons to
our welfare. The proper place to
to put them down is at the polls.
Sd. We repudiate the Conven
ton of August 18th. It was got
ten up without due notice to the
people. Our candidates would
have willingly submitted their
names to genuine convention of
the Democratic party, and we
would have preferred to settle our
disputes thereto. Butwe were new
er informed that this convention
was being gotten up, until many
Of the precincts had chosen their
delegates.
The issues Which we present are
too important to be smothered up
by political management. 7.

NATeHITOCHES NOMINATIONS.
The Natchitoches Democracy
met in convention on the 23d ult.,
and nominated the following tick
ct; For Parish Judge, G. Chap
lin; for the Legislature, Jacob
Kile and N. ?. Metoyer; for Sher-
i'll, G. w. Duncan and Coroner,
Taylor Holden. Three of the
nominees, Messrs. Metoyer, Dun
can and Holden, are colored men.
OF their nomination the Times
says:
"The nominations of three col
ored men on the ticket was made
for two reasons-frst, because
they had the confidence of their
fellow citizens, who knew them to
be honest, honorable, and trust
worthy, standing in this respect
as peers of the best men in the
land-second, to show that we
endorse the resolutions passed at
the late mass meeting in this par
ish, not in empty words, but sin
cerely, honestly, irrevocably; and
| by our acts we proclaim, that from
this day forward the Democratic
party of Natchitoches parish has
accepted in good faith the in-
corporation of the colored popula-
ton into our political system. Let
others wrangle as they may, we
shall always be found ready to de-
fend and maintain the rights en-
Ijoyed by them under the constitu-
ton and laws of the country /; and
hencefoftll our acts, as well as our
words, shall prove the sincerity of
our declarations 20 +
AFIRE IN THE REAR.-From
the New York Sun of a recent
date we extract the following
scorching indictment of the Radi-
cal party in this State. 1t is. an
address to the Radicals of this
State issued by the'"Christian Re
publican Association" of Louisi-
ana. rot3pIoaeE 3HioE
at is the duty of all christians
to strive to advance and build up
the cause of piety and religion in
the land. This they cannot do by
countenancing, or silently assent
ing to the election Of men to the
Legislature who unblushingly ac-
cept OF brides. The Legislature
its last session voted away 81 ,204,-
go; at thespecial ten day session
it voted away $1,230,70 making
s., 432, 1913, the millions which
they gave to the Chattanooga and
other railroads, and the expenses
of the. State Governments. Men
who went into Office about two
years ago poor, can now boast of
princely fortunes. These extrava-
CANT appropriations have all to be
paid by the poor people: If this
species of extravagant legislation
should continue a few sessions
more, all the property in the State
of Louisiana would not be suffi-
eieift to pay this indebtedness. 1t
would be almost'impossible for a
lab0rer to earn enough to pay his
taxes and support his family. We
