TAE ELECTION OF DELEGATES.

The address CT the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee, in convoking the convention
at Baton Rouge, calls upon all conservative
voters opposed to Radicalism and the Kellogg
usurpation, to come forward and anticipate
in the election of delegates to the State Con
vention. In thus addressing the opponents O.
the Republican party the committee was
actuated by the best and most patriotic mo.
tives 1t had in view the consolidation and
unity of the white people against the rule Of
ignorant negroes and de. ,ased white men.
1t sought to bring the people so together in
a ora effo to r.deem the Sat that sue
cess wou be ), re to foil their work in the
good ca lse Liber is, Reform rs an indie
pendents were alike invited to join the great
movement, regardless Of any and all past
oarty or political associations. All that is
demanded is present faith and devotion to the
interests Of the country. and the desire to ex
| Del from power the thieves AMI usurpers who
low hold sway yer Louisiana.
To this appeal, it is gratifying to say, q
most hearty and general response has been
made by the various factions into which the
White people Of this State have been divided
for the past few years. They have all &C
cepted the o+er SO freely rendered by the
Democratic Central Committee, and are now
zetlously at work registering in the variou-
Yards and participating in the club meetings.
This Will be cheering new, all over he State
When once it is known that the white people
If New Orleans are unit and are harmon-
ously working together having but one oh

tonal courage to give battle for our common
cause.
Inasmuch, therefore, as we find the members
Of the different parties of the past thus grace
lully yielding their organizations, however in
significant some of them mly be, for the laud-
able purpose of securing harmony among the
people, at this critical political juncture, they
should be received he rtily and accor led all |
