The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1874-06-24
|DASUES HERE AND THERE


week, with exultant pride, and like
the old woman at the Camp Meeting,
when full of glory, we feel good all
over and truly gushing with zeal.
Though but one week has passed,
since we suggested Alexandria for
the place, and the Sd of August as
the time, for holding the State Con-
vention, we have heard from several
quarters and our suggestion takes
like wild fre-we feel now confident
of success, and our Town may be
considered the place where the grand
Democratic white man entries Will
be made and announced to our ex-
pectant and bleeding State-and then
follows victory, sure and certain.
Several sound and able newspa-
pers of our exchange list, foremost
among them the Shreveport 7Snes'
have been preaching and urging
strict organization of our people, and
very Justly so-and we barely men
tion it to endorse their advice, and
dash back to them that old Rapldes
has gone into training, has made her
start and is united to q white man;
r has in her lines over two thousand
E white registered men, and not a pa
, ker's dozen of them will vote the rad
: ical ticket, all are ready and more
0 than willing to fall into line and make
j, one more dying effort to retrieve
T. their lost and stolen rights. They
r send greeting to their friends in Lou
i isiana, and the Democrats word for
n it they will be faithful to their pledge
