The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1874-10-21
DASnES HERE AND THERE.

er making his happiest bow, bright
and early Wednesday morning as
usual, and the "old Democrat" and
it's crew, all refreshed and up to time,
like full blood Glencoe colts, all the
merrier and in plucky plight for the
fray! We have all been to the Fair
and have danced attendance to all its
festivities, will go again to-day and to-
morrow, and then once more in har'
ness we will help fight our freedom
hattie and do our share of the voting.
All registered here and decks cleared
for action.
Vacant, vacant, and goodness on.
ly knows how many times the omi-
nous word Vacant, some morning
last week glittered in Dasher's eyes
through the Post Office boxes, and
reminded him forcibly that more than
one sovereign owed for the use of the
Government boxes, and had not come
to taw. Perhaps this may be none Of
Dasher's funeral rites, but still he'll
take the "sponsibility' to dash q
note of it one time for luck. So un.
asked, unsolicited, let Dasher remind
folks hereabouts that the laborel
should yet be considered worthy
Of his hire and should receive the
scaut pittance earned by that hire
hence the rent of the Post Office box.
es should be paid for, and the poorly
paid and still more poorly thanked
P. NJ, should never be forgotten
Everybody wants an efficient P. NJ.
and the way to grease that efficiency
is to pay up and stop that inferna
Vacant!
Social equilibrium and equality
too; little game Of draw, ten cents
"ante' and pass the knife! This often
ding and no more has been reported
to Dasher Of late, as regularly pro
crossing in the classic second ward
at a notorious Salon d'Afrique, ant
with perfect IMMUNITY and sang froid
Can these things be in poor littl,
Alexandria Town, and thus lead poo
human nature to a lower degree o
degradation, already embalmed b,
miscegenation and standardization
That lower deep which Dasher, in al
charity, thought could not be reach
ed hereabouts is fast being exhumet
by frail ones of the white race, WHOSE
only salvation is at once to heed THU
hint and quit the Internal errors O
their poker ways!
-Dasher is now on figures, and 70,
know they will seldom lie and viii
prove theories as forcibly as stubbor,
facts. The Registration of Rap;des
in famed 1872, footed up very nea
3400 all told. Now we want som,
folks, who are yet green in Dasher'
memory to cogitate backwards for
little while, and answer him if all tn
HI of radicalism in the certificat
line, was not turned loose and perjure.

from one thousand to seventeen hun

Of registration. Now Dasher's fig
ures come in right here-the presen
Registrar, whose loyalty and fines
the faithful dare not doubt, has near
ly finished his arduous and thankles
job, and yet he will hardly reacl
Capt. Hooe's figures-and now wha
have we to say to the yells and swear
ings of 1872, which really helped t,
usurp Kellogg in? Now more thai
ever, Dasher, believes it was a put u
job to defraud US and fasten the in
fanny on US for all time to come.
up goes the-sponge, the butcher

change has come "o'er the spirit

days since, thought they could serv
the wants of an almost impoverished
people by a reduction Of fifty per cent
and now, through Caucasia's columns

Come one, come all, the beef shall fl
