"A Call to the White People
OGthC State Of Lou.
The Basis Of Representation for the

From the Shreveport Times.

From the Shreveport Times.
The State Central Committee OF
the democratic party Of Louisiana,
having disappointed the expecta-
tions and wishes Of the people OF
the country parishes in calling a
State democratic convention to as
semble in New Orleans on the
fourth Wednesday in August, and
in assuming to organize the demo
cratic party in the opening cam
paign and there being no organ
ized body authorized to call a con
vcution Of the white people Of the
State, we, believing that VIC repre-
sent in this matter, the wishes of
ninety nine one-hundrcdths Of our
white fellow cities, suggest:
That the several parishes
throughout the State, and the sew
cral wards in the city OF New Or
leans, elect or appoint delegates to
Convention of the White People
to assemble in Alexandria, in Ra
pides parish, Tuesday, the first day
of September, 1874, to nominate u
State Treasury and members Of
Congress for the several Congress
sional districts; to thoroughly or
ganize the white people Of Louisi-
ana for the redemption OF the State
from the CONTROL OF ignorant, cor
rupt and incapable men, and to
promulgate a platform explaining
to the world the true aims and oh
.jects of the white mans party to be,
not the deprivation Of any class OF
their rights and liberties, but the
establishment OF a just and cconom-
ical government in the State, tor
the protection Of the interests.
rights and liberties OF all men with
in its borders, irrespective of race,

tude.

The State Convention.
From the Shreveport Times.

From the Shreveport Times.
We publish to-day a call for a
State convention of the white men
Of Louisiana to assemble at Alex
andria on the first day Of Septem
Der next. The action of the Dem.
ocratic State Central Committee
has so completely disappointed the
expectations of the people, and the
policy it has marked out is so cal
culatcd to dampen the newly
aroused enthusiasm throughout the
country, that submission to it will
seal the ruin Of Louisiana. We have
therefore taken the respor sibility
of calling such a convention as we
know large majority of the white
people desire to assemble.
In taking this responsibility we
are not assuming to dictate to our
fellow citizens, nor are we arrogat
ing to ourselves superior authority
or wisdom in this matter; but the
Democratic Central Committee
having ignored the wishes of our
people, and there being no author
lied body to make this call we
have assumed to make it, believing
that we are giving expression,
shape, authority and circulation to
the wishes of the white people of
the State.
We most earnestly solicit the CO.
operation of our contempories
throughout the State in getting mp
this convention. A large number
OF them have already endorsed our
suggestion for convention at AL.
exandria, and this call simply gives
shape to that suggestion.
Ii all the papers, favorable to
this movement, join us in this call
the result will be a convention call
ed by the people, representing the
people, and expressing the wishes
Of the people.
Let us then go earnestly into this
work; any faltering now will insure
our defeat. This movement has
gone so far that unless it is carried
out, it will divide our strength
The Democratic Central Committee
had no right to intrude a different
line of policy upon us at this late
day, and it must be forced to recede
from it's tact'ous position. Every
man then to his post; let every pa
per in the State do it's duty in this
canvass, and before the assembling
of the Convention in September all
factious opposition will be quelled;
there will be harmony in our ranks
and we will present united front.

to quartette of speakers launched
themselves into thu interior of the
state on a stumping tour. The
party consisted Of Dick gIesby, Gen.
B M. Prentiss, j. D. Ward and
Bross. Of course the Lombard singers
were along.
Dixon, Morrison and other thriving
towns were visited, and addresses
were made afternoons and
and evenings, to big gatherings.
Oglesoy, Ward and Prentiss varied
their speeches to suit the places and
the crowds, as we'll as to relieve the
monotony Of the trip But Bross
had one staple grafton, which he
delivered with the same tones, faci

ed peroration.
This soon grew so monotonous
that Gen. Prentiss mildly mutinied,
and prepared a vile scheme tor the
discontinue of the stubborn Bross.
He prevailed upon OgIesby to vary
the order of exercises at the next town,
so that Ward and himself should open
the meeting in the evening.
The attendance at Sterling, the spot
selected for the springing OF the con-
spiracy. was immense, and Wards
opening address was rapuously re-
cleyed.
Then Prentiss arose, aud, to the
terror of the startled Bross, made the
latter'a Identical bow to the audience,
and with accurately simulated voice
began to recite Bross's stereotyped
Grafton. Its manifold repetition had
made Prentiss familiar with every
word, and he followed it through
without variation in sentiment,
axrcdote, gesture or tone.
The juice was absolutely sucked
dry from Bross's orange. He arose,
blurted something about the lateness
of the hour and the fact that the
ground had been 50 we'll covered by
previous speakers. and then ffooped
into his chair again. 4" ao.Ere
While Oglesby and the Lombards
were winding up the show, Bross
slipped out, and, FASTENED to the de-
pot, telegraphed to the coming train
and secured The whole OF the only re-
naming section in the sleeping car.
His revenge was coarse, but sweep
ing, for. while he was sprawled
comfortably in his berth, his whilom
prosecutors were obliged to sit up all
