rImpIe.. prnp,,on.. Rough skin

The system being put under the influence Of
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for
few weeks, the skin becomes smooth, clear
soft and vel Sety, and being illuminated with
the glow Of perfect health from within, true
beauty stands forth in all It's glory. The effects
OF all medicines which operate upon the sys-
tem through the medium of the blood are
necessarily somewhat slow, no matter how
es, eruptions, yellow spots, comedones, or
"grubs, dozen may possibly be required to
cure some cases where the system is rotten
with scrotulous OF virulent blood posons. The
cure OF all these diseases, however, from the
common pimple TO the worst scrotula is, with
the use OF this potent agent, only matter OF
time. Sold by all dealers in medicines.

The Democratic Nominees.

Yesterday morning, just before
going to press, friend rushed in,
bringing us an "extra" issued by
the Democrat, at Alexandria. We
have neither space nor time for
comment in this issue; but copy
the latest dispatches:
First ballot-Wiltz 142; Nc
Emery, 80; Nichols, III; Penn, 80.
Second ballot-Wiltz 1891; Nc
Emery, 63i; Nichols, 1879; Penn, 20.
Third ballot-NichoIs, l42; Wilt
140a; McEnery, 61a.
When it came to the fourth bal
lot, McEnery withdrew in favor
of Nichols, before the vote was
announced; Penn also withdrew
in his favor; and Witt then made
motion for the nc .nination of
Nichols to be made unanimous.
Wilt will be nominated for Lieu
tenant Governor.

1t was q long time after the

reform in reality-not in words

will not go in strong for these

The lion has been bearded in his
den, and Judging from his roar of
smothered rage, the three-star
communication must have touched
him in tender place. "Leo,"
with his exceedingly rare concep-
tons of right, cannot, like a true
Maltese" behold the question as
others see it, but in his exalted
imagination considers it 'too
thin" "This was the argument
of few of the old Wing party
says he. Was there ever an an
swer more applicable to the point
than the reply of the Theucian to
Alexander the Great: "Was there
ever a more gallant captain of a
more valiant band Z" Was there
ever? But we scorn to boast, for
do not the people generally, and
the politicians especially, know
that he has not been easily sub
dued. "a new game" he says, "by
played-out politicians, third party
politicians, etc; an attempt to de-
feat the popular will of party"
We are not now, nor were we ever
aware, that any party pressed
the popular will of the people;
neither do we accept the more alb
surd idea of the popular will of
party Will Leo tell us how he
stands with that party, and what
proportion of the popular will''
he is likely to receive? Does he
not measure our corn in his own
false bottomed half bushel; and
will not the same measure be
meted out to him? His half-sup-
pressed exclamation of surprise at
the announcement of meeting
to elect delegates for Ward l.,
would fain produce a patriotic re-
spouse; but perceiving in the dis
tant political horizon, cloud that
wells the popular will" in unmis-
taxable tones of popular indigna-
ton, yet tempered with u semi
sarcastical nod of approval, he
wonders who will be there to rep
resent it. The whole scheme is as
clear to him as the magnet through
which he discovered tit is ill.,
deed "too thin" But events are
daily transporting that go to
make up the political drama, and
let the scenes change as they may.
Leo will never be star in the
profession, though in the role
of Falstaf he can serve the "pop-
nlar Will of his party. Echo.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

To the Voters of the 18th Senatorial
District, composed of the parishes of
Vim, CatahOula and Grant
GENTLEsrEN-My name having been
placed before the people of this District,
as candidate for Senator on the Dem
ocratic Conservative ticket, at the en-
suing election, deem it but justice to
state that am subject to the nomina-
ting Convention, fully acquiescing in
their action. And here, permit me to
say, that others whose names are TO be
placed before the people, should mani
fest Il like willingness to abide by the
Judgment of said Convention; and their
failure to do so will be mainly ascriba-
bic to the fact that they expect to reach
the goal by some other route than by
the intelligent suffrage of their party.

Now comes defendant, and for
answer to Sans exception, denies
il, part the allegations therein
contained. In relation to the COM
pact on which he lays SO much
stress, Sam, although assuming to
understand it, is yet, 1 see, one
material point In, darkness. The
compact was not to the effect that
Winn should have first choice,
Grant next and Catahoula third,
for Grant was not at the time of
that agreement in the Senatorial
District; neither was it the under
standing that Winn should have
the first choice, because Catalonia
submitted the proposition that if
Winn would support her in that
campaign, knowing. full well that
Winn undivided could enforce her
demand, having a Democratic ma
jority vote, that the favor should
be returned. For this reason,
Catahoula instructed her dele
gates to compromise the matter
with Winn, by giving her prefer
ence in the next Convention. To
that end, in the Convention of
1872, the Catahoula delegates were
likewise instructed. Grent, not a
party to the first contract, was not
bound by its provisions; but being
in the minority when she did have
a voice, could only say amen to
the arrangement; yet, with the
understanding that the provisions
of that com promise should be ex-
tended to her in the campaign OF
1876. Sam asks the question,
which is absurd as he imagines
ours to he far-fetched: Has DIR.
Kelly represented his District, as
Senator? l answer his question
by asking another: Did the dele
gates who nominated him, obligate
themselves to install him in office
And like Sam, l can say, empha-
tically, mol Neither the Conven-
ton, nor the people, through their
delegates, agreed to secure his
election; nor, if elected, to brow
beat the Returning Board, o,
countermand the midnight order

do, and nothing more could be re-

act 10 that matter, that if Winr
would ratify the nomination of S
s. Bowman, as then made by Gaia
honla, that she would obligate her
self to support Winn's choice il
the next convention; and just here
l will remark that 1 deny the right
of any convention to compromise
the interests of the people by
promising a debt beyond theil
liability to pay. As "West End
