DASHES HERE AND THERE.

letting down, won't register anymore,
can't be brought to the scratch this
time, and just now thinks it will be
a useful rebuttal to all such d-n
phoolism, to dash down 693 and I'll
under it, and ask his white patriot
friends to take to their states and
make the satisfaction! Dasher is
easily pleased and it takes very little
to keep him in that mood, but anoth-
er such record of a weeks registra-
ton, will take the starch out Of him
and cause him to sing dead low!
We'll done properly SO and hand
somely done by Dasher's friend "Joe"
in the Convention in regards to the
Executive Committee, and still more
nicely done by the Convention !!
Thus ribboned, thus doubly-armed
in a just cause are our Committee
ushered once more to do good work,
manly work, telling work! Are they
equal to the task, to the responsible
ties of their position? Dasher thinks
so, heartily endorses the indorse-
ment and speeds them in the good
ahead! Walk into them boys!
Shiny on your own side is a
trite maxim with Dasher, but at the
risk of being hit across the shins he
must ask the "old man eloquent" of
the "Oficial Journal to rise and ex-
plain and enlighten him. Once more
negro-dom publishes "a Call for a
Convention" in the Journal, and once
more Dasher can't understand the
mysterious apportionment, hence his
demand for light on the dark subject.
Alexandria Ward 8 delegates, Che
NEVILLE 7, Rapides ION the river) 2,
Rapides ION the Bayou 8, Spring
Hill 5 and so on reads Crawford's
bull. Now Cheneyville Ward has
certainly five times as many negro
voters, the two Rapides the same
Spring Hill has certainly four times
as many as Alexandria, yet our Town
Ward has in the harem 9 delegates
to only Z in Cheneyville, 5 in the
two Rapides and 5 in the Spring Hill
How is this? Please explain and lei
us know why a few Town negroes
should rule the big roast at sucf
odds? Dasher must take up for thu
unsophisticated country darkie ant
restore him to his deprived rights
and pauses for an explanation.
Much ado about nothing! "Th'
Party Name leader one column
and quarter! A communication
signed Democrat" chow we low
that name, half a stick over col
umn, and tout pour rien and waste O
youthful and precocious intellect, ant
all in the last Caucasian. Well
young gentlemen, short horse sool
curried you know, and Dasher regret
exceedingly to inform you, that yo'
have once wasted your sweetness o.
the dessert air, you "ain't'' too goo'
looking and can pass on. The arti
Gle, which has so much thorned 20,
and thrown you off the track, was ia
ken from the New Orleans Picayune
of Wednesday, August Goth, 1874
and republished by Dasher's select
ion and express orders, of his owl
volition, and because he believes an
knows the Gold Pic" to be sound o,
your goose and in all respects relia
BILE and intelligent. Walk up to tn
Democrat Sanctum, which will thro'
you in good company, and Dashe
will haul out the documents on yo
both. Au revolr!
-"I'll bet one hundred dollars tina
the negroes in Rapides will registe
over 1000 the present Registration I!
This is what Dasher heard from tn
lips of a reliable man, and one VIII
; knows fully the antics of the Rad
Gals Of Rapides, and in whom Dashe
has confidence. White people, espt
cially you, candidates, sleep with on
eye open and digest this hundre
dollars offer! There is, we fear, to
much foundation for this winning O
fer, and the Alexandria start of SO
only filings the proof in our faces
Again says Dasher, candidates loo
to your rights and the rights of yor
people; forewarned is forearmed!
