The New Orleans Democrat., 1876-08-03
rag CAMPAIGN.


stumr,ing Northern Louisiana for to
Democrats. n.
The parish nominating convention OF
Union parish met on Tuesday, August l.
DIR. Robert Horn Ia the choice III
Ksatchia andFthe upper part OF lDeSot0
parish for the Legislature.
They are holding almost daily mass
meetings In Shreveport, in vain en-
deavor TO harmonze tho two wings OF
the Radical party.
And now comes the Shreveport
Telegram 0Rep.), and the whole country
Radical press, with references to that
man, Gen. Frank Nichols" That's the
way to put 1t.
Carroll parish claims many Dem
ocratic negroes. They Mt least listen
attentively to tho speeches made by
Democrats and seem 80 ponder over
them; and this is something they never
did before.
The candidates for District Judge and
District Attorney IN the 1T. James
Ascension district seem US hungry for
Endorsements and approvals as Pinch
for his benatorsbip. The last copy OF
tho St. james Sentinel contains nine
mass meetings indorsiug Marks, Ear
hart, Hayes, etc.
The following ore the Point Coupee
candidates to this date For the office
OF Sheriff--Henry Moeblus. q. II. Griffin
and Albert VigDes, for Recorder, j. A.
Porcbe and q. Morgan, clerk Of the
court, G. ID. Hebert and A. l.. Jewell.
The following are the Democratic
Conservative candidates in the parish
Of DeSoto For the Legislature, DR..
w. y. Frierson, Geo. ). Pitts, Jas. Il.
Means. s. M. Potts and DIR. Robt. Horn (;
for Parish Judge. q. II. Sutherlin and
W. q. Harris; for Sheriff, Ben Young
J. L. Williams aud l.. II. Huson, for
Recorder. ID. M. Henot.
The election will take place by prim-
ary election. ns there will be no Parish
Convention. 1t takes place the first
Monday in September. the 4th.
In the Radical controversy in st.
james. the Administration paper calmly
and coolly assures the Bovee faction
that tho st. James delegation in the
District Convention WIS not authorized
to act. 1--WE think" IL concludes. that
the committee acted wisely Ia refusing
TO quarrel over the question"
DE Soto seems to be vigorously press
ing the campaign. The last Mansfield
RepD1ter contains accounts or five mass
meetings in the parish and the organi-
zations of W. many ward clubs. Banner
presentations seem to take place every
week, vigorous addressesare made to the
people. and all The VOTERS are Brought
np to the clubs and made to Join them.
With such enthusiasm aud energy we
expect to see fulfilled the promise OF
the DE Soto Detnocrats-that they will
carry the parish by Il large majority.
The, Republican Parish Executive
COMMITTEES Of Pointe Coupee adopted
the following resolution the other day
Whereas. IL has been made known to
this meeting, to-day, that Judge Tbos.
II. Hewes has declared himself an in
dependent candidate for reelection !;
aud whereas, it Is the sentiment OF this
meeting that judiciary elections. should
be kept apart rs much as possible from
partisan aud political feeling, and
whereas. 1t is certainly for the benefit
of all Republicans that the judiciary
should be perfectly independent; there
fore, be- 1T
Resorcd. Thrt orr confidence 10
Judge Thos. II. Hewes is uushaken, and
his official record Is so satisfactory TO
all parties, that we as citizens heartily
indorse him for reelection
Tho above resolution WIS unanimous
Iy adopted.
Be uresolued by the Republican Par
ish Executive Committee, now in ses-
sion, that Mr. .. O. Proyosty be sup
ported for the District Attorneyship.
The Point Coupee Republicans seem
dissatisfied with some Of their State
ticket. and talk in wonderfully indie
pendent manner. THIS Is what their
organ, the Point Coupoe Republican
SAYS ... .
We see the desperate determination
Of the Democrats 10 wrest the State
from the hands Of the Republicans, al
lured on, not few TO redeem the State
from the hands Of such peculating po-
itical cormorants who, with and through
Warmoth up to the present time, have
reduced the rich parishes Of Louisiana
to their present bankrupt and depleted
state, the case with most of the parishes
Of this State. To the Republican voters
we say, your ship Is in danger OF sink
ing; there will be no lull in the storm !;
throw overheard those leaders that
have made the name Of Republican
synonymous with that OF contempt.
The Republican voters should not rely
on the advice Of Interested and unprin
cipled leaders in their political course.
No, they must begin to discriminate for
themselves, or too late will they awake
to realize the forlorn hope OF their
situation.
