Echoes OF Democrncy.

The gentle Comet of Shreveport has
grown mildsr in sentiment. 1t actually
speaks of winning victories by ballots III
stead Of sbotguns. 1t says:
But, whether or not we be permitted to
enjoy the victory after winning 1t, the vic
tory must be won. aud "to some good angel
leave the rest" The future of the State for
all time is upon the issue; We are engaged
in a struggle for very existence. and must
fight it out. No time now to falter or take
counsel of our fears; no time to sum up the
odds and count the chances against us; our
all ia at stake and we must win or lose IT
forever. Nail our flag to the mast. and
when we sink, if sink we must, let us go down
