These are the three essentials to be

THE REPUBLICANS SPEAK.


newspaper reporter IS anything
he is ubiquitous; yesterday he was
compelled to be In thousand places
at the same time, and was there.
There was the regular local business to
look after, a regiment Of candidates to
listen to, their scores Of friends to
mollify, aud what not. 1t Is surpris-
ing that he found time to attend the
meeting referred to below, but he did.
1t was held way out yonder, "across
the branch" but time and distance are
Ms nothing when an item Is to be cap
tured. The place of meeting was at a
school house, and to the dispensary of
learning the reporter made his weary
way.
Entering, the reporter was courteousiy
invited to front seat, which he
thankfully accepted. Dr. Cochran was
addressing the meeting and reiterated
the advice he has several times before
given his colored fellow citizens--to
vote solidly for the Republican State
ticket. and select the best men from
among the numerous Democratic cam
didates for county officers. DIR. c.
was followed by Cromwell, whose
pereorations and well-rounded SELL
fences have held spell. bound menag-
erie--the Louisiana Convention Of

fore, for him to entrance his hearers.
He made, as usual, very sensible
speech, and rendered some good ad-
vice to his sable brothers.
The reporter Of THE HERALD by
courtesy, arose to personal explana-
ton, and BRIEFLY referred to matters
past and present.
Captain Porter followed, paying a
most glowing and eloquent tribute to
the past glories Of our Republic and
her venerated statesmen.
Mr.. Edward H. Newman was the
next speaker. He referred to the pres
ent campaign as Democratic fight, in
which Republicans bad no interest fur
ther than to vote soldly for the Repub-
lican State ticket. He referred to the
duty of colored men thinking and
voting for themselves. He urged them
to stamp us Infamous and false, by
their action at the polls, the assertion
that half-dozen white men ruled and
controlled them. He told them that
the meeting had no control of their
votes, but that 1t was their duty to sup
port the straight-out State Republican
ticket. Beyond that they were at lib
erty to choose any one they saw fit.
They were all Democrats, and their
only choice was to select the best men
prom smong them.
