The Congressional Candidates.

Under this caption, the New Or
leans Picayune has review, person
al and political, Of the recently nom
mated candidates of the Peoples
Party, and when it reaches our Dis
trict gets off the following just and
we'll merited tribute to our fellow
townsman, Judge Thos. c. Manning:
In the Fourth District, we are deeply
grieved to announce the failure to NOM
mate Judge 7. C. Manning, of Rapides,
who is justly esteemed throughout the
State as one of Louisiana's ablest, tru-
est and most accomplished sons. The
presence of Judge Manning in the Uni
ted States Congress would have been of
incalculable benefit to our State and the
whole South. There would be no bet
ter representative, in the Federal and
State councils, of the highest qualities
and virtues Of our section and race.
We can assure the Picayune that
here, where Judge Manning lives and
is honored, that "deeply grieved" is
q mild word to announce the failure
of his nomination, and as yet we fail
to understand it, and need more
light Oh it.

THE WORK OF THE CONVENTION.

The Parish Convention, called by
authority of the Executive Commit
tee of the "White Mans Party" Of
the Parish of Rapides, which assem-
bled at the Town Hall on Saturday,
was composed of seventy-four Dele
gates, from twelve Of the fourteen
Precincts of the Parish, and take it
all in all, the assemblage was made
up of the very best representative
white people Of the Parish. Wepro-
TESS to know something of Parish
Conventions in Alexandria, to know
the people Of Rapides, and our expe-
rience in that line dates back to 1888,
and we are free and candid enough to
assert we never knew one to excel the
Convention of Saturday. Every ele-
ment, every interest, every trade,
every profession, many nationalities
and even creeds, young, middle-aged,
old veterans, all came together under
the call, and truly represented the
property, the life, bone, sinew of the
Caucasian race. And how they did
the work entrusted to them, simple
reference and careful reading of the
proceedings in to-day's Democrat
will sufficiently answer. Harmony,
good feeling, good will from man to
man, were happily blended into the
best features, which characterize the
best and truest traits of humanity,
and tended to the sole aim of our de-
liverance from radical thraldom and
misrule.
1t is not for the Democrat, which
still adheres to it's Democratic tepets
and firm faith of their ultimate sue
cess, and who once more loans itself,
cheerfully and cordially, to the new
movement Of it's people, embracing
all conservative parties opposed to
Radicalism, to 60 into ecstacies and
sing loud paens Of the nominees, and
fulsomely assert none better could
be made. Such is not our present
mission and we have no such aspira-
ton, but simply as man, citizen,
born and reared on the soil of Rap
ides, with every interest and instinct
which all men can claim, and as the
Editor Of a Democratic and Conserv-
alive Journal, we lay aside for the
time all our political impulses and
teachings, and 60 into the fight with
heart all right and with the same
good will, we have always possessed
for any good cause. Believing oul
people fearfully in earnest and hon
est in their convictions to right them.
selves before the eyes Of the civilized
world, and that their Parish Conven
ton was truly and rightfully the PEG
pies will, we are stripped for the
fight and raise aloft their banner
emblazoned in full with the names
of their choice, their nominees!

The Last Trouble.

Since our last much and many have
been the wild rumors, waited to Ra-
pides, about killing, hanging, and so
on, at or near Coushatta, in the new
Parish of Red River. And the papers
have been filled with nothing else,
thus grasping at the new sensation.
We have read it all, heard all the war
talk on it, and for the information of
our readers will condense it in as few
words as possible. The people of
Red River Parish have been cursed,
from it's first formation, with a full
and patented set of Kellogg Parish
officials, and vel have hes hell
hounds and blood leeches performed
their assigned task. The people of
Red River Parish have tired on this
infamy, and waited on the officials
and invited them to resign. These
fellows, protesting more cheek and
grit than some others, to whom SINH
lar invitations had been extended,
asked for few days to consider the
matter, which was granted, and under
the grant went to work and organ
lied and completely armed some 500
negroes, and in person assumed com
mand. The whites saw the trick,
went better and captured the whole
lay out, one negro killed being the
only casualty, arrested the ring lead
ers, the white officials, released all
the negroes, and started with the six
white radical leaders, as prisoners
for Shreveport. When some % miles
from Shreveport, they were confront.
ed with an armed and disguised band
of over 100 men, said to be Texans
who relieved them of the prisoners
anu shortly after shot every one Of
them. This is the last act of moi
law, twin born crime of Kellogg rule
in Louisiana. When will we see the
peep Of day?
- The Parish Convention, Of
last Saturday, was composed, as VIC
have already remarked, of represen
tative men, and many ardent anG
strong delegates, with the purest mo
tives and best impulses, placed some
of our truest citizens in nomination
who were not candidates and did no
seek the nomination of any Office il
the gift Of the Convention. That tn
failure of these gentleman to be nom
mated, may be misconstrued, we deem
it simple act of generous courtes,
to mention the names of four gentle
men, who were placed in that posi-
ton, without any agency of thei
own: Evariste Archinard, Judge Ry
an, r. j. Bowman and John j. Swami

Further that it is one of the favorite
regiments of the cavalry arm, its
Colonel, Edward Hatch, at one time

Of Phil. Sheridan's famous brigade
commanders during the last years

Our Fair.

We never tire on good things and
cannot waste too much editorial
sweetness on the good, the useful, the
beneficial! After the Railroad, keep
cool old fogies, we can conceive no en-
terprise, no plan inaugurated for the
solid good of the greatest many, than
q first class and well conducted Agri-
cultural Fair. That we have one in
Rapides, with live head quarters in
Alexandria, no one gan doubt, no one
can gainsay. That it has thus far
been success, a complete one, is en-
tirely owing to good and efficient man
agement, and due appreciation of its
merits by the public. And all this
good is now being continued d, with
tenfold energy by the Directory, and
such impr6s" cmnents and identifying
as are needed will be ample and com
pleted in time for the second opening.
We again urge all to obtain Pam
phlet Programme from either j. Lev
in, S. Cullen or j. C. French, and
read well all therein, digest it well,
and the Democrats word for it, they
will invest their little mite in the
Fair.
