A Convention.

Convention, or no Convention! that
seems to be the question. Well, who
cares whether a Convention be holden
in November, or January or A pril, pro-
vlded it shall, when assembled, reflect
the wishes of the rank and file of the
Democratic party? Is there anything
80 sacred in months or dates. that
friends should radically disagree about
them?
We believe an early convocation of a
Convention to be improper, because we
think the people will not respond to
the call, and the Convention will there
fore represent the ideas of would-be
leaders, and not the wishes of the peo-
pie. Convince us that the people de-
sire Convention-wille elect delegates
to it, and that the Convention will re-
fleet the popular wishes when assem-
bled, and we don't care fig WHEN it
shall meet. We protest, though,
against abortions-against Conventions
which are not real Conventions
against Conventions convened in the
interest of faction, clique, ring, a
coterie, particular leader, or aisingle
idea, even though the thing may be
called a DEMOCRATIC Convention.
From our standpoint, it is undemo-
cratic and unpatriotic to make the time
for calling Convention a source of dis
cord. Letus drop SO senseless an issue
If it can be dignified by that name.

D@ There is one idea which we wish
some, so-called, prominent men in the
Democratic party in Louisiana could
get into their little heads that's, that
Louisianians have no pet leaders or
pet candidates. Unfortunately, per-
haps, for the Democratic party in this
State, thus far no man in it has shown
himselfcapable of making himself THE
CENTRAL FIGURE in State politics, to
whom all are ready to look for guild
ance and whose leadership is acknowl-
edged by common consent.
There is another idea which we
would rejoice to see recognized fully by
all our prominent men-and that is,
that the people have one grand project
ever before them, to-wit: the redemp-
ton Of the State from the grasp of the
allen, the carpet-bagger and the scala
wag, that he who does most to accom-
plish thatresult willinevitably become
the popular leader. Who will he be /?
The people await his advent-will ac-
knowledge his worth and crafty his
ambition.
