Bring out Every Democratic
Vote.

LUG luAppl 1"hoS VI J'illuS ON04 y
democratic vote at the coming cleo
tion is rot so thoroughly and gem
orally appreciated as it should be.
Tit important that every democrat
in Calcasieu parish should regis
ter, and vote the democratic ticket.
First, because it is conceded that
the presidential contest will be o
close one, and that the vote of a
single State may decide that con-
test in favor of either the democpa-
tic or the republican candidate for
the presidency. Louisiana has
been falsely represented. by Kel-
logg, Packard & Co.,, az a republi.
can state. Grant is determined to
have its electoral vote cast for
Hayes and Wheeler, if it is posi-
bic for him to accomplish that re-
suit. The State is clearly demo-
cratic, by large majority, but it is
of vital importance that that ma
jority shall be so large that the
election of the democratic electors
for President and Vice President
shall be placed beyond the reach
OF cavil-or dispute. Maiorities are
made by individual votes. Every
vote counts one. Let every demo-
crat be sure to vote for Tilden and
Hendricks.
Secondly, because the election
of the democratic State ticket
is absolutely essential to the
restoration ofpeace and prosperity
to Louisiana. Backed by Grants
bayonets, and the Overturning
Board, the vampires who have
so long sucked the life blood of
Louisiana hope to drain her veins
dry during the next four years.
Every man in Calcasieu who loves
the land be lives in should poll one
vote for the redemption of Louisia-
ma from radical robbery and radical
tyranny.
Thirdly, because the election of
a democratic president will but
place a barren sceptre in his grip, |
unless his efforts for reform are
backed by o democratic Congress.
The President does not make laws;
he merely executes them. 1t is
therefore of the last Importance
that a democratic congressman
shall be elected from this congress
Sional district. It embl aces twelve
parishes, and the colored out num-
Der the white voters by some ten
Those colored voters
are coming over by thousands to
the democratic standard, just as
they have done in Mississippi,
Georgia, and other southern states.
There is a splendid prospect for
The election of Col. j. Fl. Acklen
over @. B. Darrall to Congress
rom this district. Let every DEM
ocratic voter in Calcasieu poll one
7ote for Col. J. II. Acklen, tho
democratic nominee for Congress.
Fourtbly, because the election of
Francis T. Nichols as Governor of
Louisiana will be of little avail
lnless his efforts for a reform of
,ur State government are seconded
~ a democratic State Senate and
House OF Representatives. Like
he President, the Governor is
merely an executive officer. All |
