The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1876-08-30
WORK TALK.

Three hundred of our fellow citi- |
zens of the Democratic Conservative
faith, and with instincts so well in
stilled in them, that we know they
are earnestly and honestly opposed
to the present Radical rule of the
State, and specially that of our Par
ish, were more than a month since
financially addressed in circular
letter by the Parish Executive Com
1nittee, and thus far we deeply regret
to state, only ten, of that number have
replied and answered the Commit
tees immediate and urgent wants.
The sum of sixty-three dollars are
the fruits of these ten gentlemen's
voluntary contributions, and through
US, return them sincere thanks.
We hereby write by authority of
the Committee, and duplicate to the
gentlemen these monied billets doar
and ask their instant attention to the
matter, The object OF addressing
only three hundred men in the Far
ish of the twenty-five hundred Demo
Gratis, was to raise an average OF three
dollars from each, and thus place the
| Committee in funds at once for &C
tual wants and expenses. And the
Committee only addressed those
whom they knew to be really able to
contribute this average amount from
the whole number, and now to cut a
plain matter short, they hereby re-
new the financial call and demand at
tention to it.
Thus far only three candidates
and these the humblest and least able
to contribute, have sent in their mite
and the high reaching ones should
certainly by this take the hint. Mr..
John C. Rogers is the Treasurer Of
the Executive Committee, and to him
must be handed or sent all contribu-
tions. The Committee hope not to
be again under the necessity of dun
} ming so willing and liberal constit-
uency as theirs, and order us to close
this with their fraternal regards.
