CALCULATIONS to make and thanks to

public patronage extended to us in
the past twelve months. More in
hard pressure than in anger, must
we declare that our journal, back,

people of Rapides, has been shame
fully overlooked and beggarly pat

to live and sustain itself. Though

supporter of right against might
and oppression, and always with
the people, through evil and good
report, fighting with zeal, ardor
and honesty the enemies of our
people, still the past year has been
a sorry and non-paying one to us.
Our people, at least a vast majority
of them, seem willing to accord us
these claims and sing our praises,
but when substantial aid and as
sistance are the questions they are
not on hand. The Democrat is q

act as the peoples ''Mitrallieuse"

out anything else. Now, we have
no doubts some of our dear people
think all this very fine and patriot
ic, but we humbly beg to differ with
them, and we know that this hon
est difference of opinion has not
aided materially our Exchequer.
Well, the Democrat still lives,
and though that life is such as we
now write it, yet we exist and ems,
ter our twenty-ninth year with the
same old ardor and zeal, but with
,aeao pockets empty, to battle for
our cause, our people, our Parish
and for Louisiana. AS of old we
shall continue the fight and have
yet full faith in the ultimate tri-
umph of our principles and our
rights. All we ask for the next
twelve months is some feeble aid
and maintenance from the people
whose cause we have espoused and
whose rights we shall maintain.

Party Nominations.


Two important Conventions of an
ti-Radicals were held on the 9th inst.
to nominate candidates to be voted
for at the ensuing State elections
One was the Conservative Conven-
ton in Virginia, the mother of States,
and the other the Democratic Con-
vention in Ohio, the most populous
of the Western States, whose terrific
ry Virginia generously gave away to
the general government to promote
the peace and harmony OF the
country.
In Virginia Gen. James L. Kemper
was nominated for Governor, Colonel
Robert E. Withers for Lieutenant
Governor and MIR. Raleigh T. Daniel
for Attorney General. The ticket is
as strong, and composed of as popu-
lor men as could possibly be found
within the limits Ct the old Domin-
ion. The first two were among the
most gallant officers furnished by
that State to the Confederate army.
Colonel Withers was the nominee of
the party for Governor four years
ago but retired in favor of MIR. Wal
ker when it became evident that it
would be more prudent to nominate
a Northern man for the Office. Mr..
Daniel is the most accomplished adj
vocate in the State, an uncle of the
late John NJ. Daniel, of the Exami-
ner, a nephew Of the late Judge Peter
V. Daniel, of the Supreme Court of
the United States, and a distinguish
ed member of the old Wing party.
A few days before this the Radical
Convention had met and nominated
Mr.. Robert w. Hughes for Cover
nor, to whom Grant Immediately
promised the whole power of the ad-
ministration to aid him in the cam
paign. We presume that the admin
istration will not hesitate to resort
even to the means which it found so
effective in Louisians. MIR, Hughes
was fiery secessionist and the asso-
ciate of Daniel in the Examiner in
bringing on and vigorously prosecu-
ting the late secession war. But Sc
cessionism is only crime in the
Democratic party; it makes no differ
ence if the original secessionists do
the dirty work of the administration.
They are sought out and rewarded
by Grant while original Union men
are left to shift for themselves.
The scalawags and carpet-baggers
in Virginia have forced on the Con-
servatives the issue whether they and
their negro allies, or the white men,
shall henceforth rule the State. The
Conservatives have met the issue,
and are willing to leave every other
out Of the fight. If the latter are
successful carpet bag or negro Of
fce-holder will never be heard of
again in Virginia. We have no
doubt Of the result. The party was
never in better trim for a fight.
In Ohio the Democratic party has
done admirably. 1t has laid down a
platform on which every Conserva-
tive can stand, and has nominated
the ''old wheel horse of Democracy"
William Allen, for the office of Cow
ernor. MIR. Allen was giant in the
United States Senate, when the race
Of giants had not died out. He has
been out Of politics for many years
simply because a giant has no show
in this age of Lilliputians. He work

Ed. in person. The Democrat tips
his worn out beaver to Ed. Smith
for this appreciative remembrance.
