Our merchants are slowly awaking to the
mood for combined effort to keep up the trade
of this city with the interior. The few Efforts
that have been put forth to improve the facli-
tiles for receiving and shipping goods are steps
in the right direction; but many more OF Ihe'n

by The enterprise of other cities. OF the same
class of effort, and worthy of encouragement
are the cndcavors OF the mercantile bureau
which has been formed to aid in attracting odt
of town buyers to Ncw-IOrk. AT present the
programme Of this bureau is principally di-
rccted toward reducing railroad and hotei
charges. 1t is clear that this is only part OF
what needs to be done The 8: ':drummer" sys-

Ward Conventions,

the views Of his constituents is and
should be considered an insult. lie
is not himself but the representative
Of his ward. We sincerely hope and
trust that there will be general
turnout, and in this case We will get
the sentiment and wishes of a majority
of The different wards.
We are Of opinion that men will
be elected from each ward today that
will reflect the sentiment of their
different wards, men who will not
come up to the Parish Convention in
the interest of any particular click or
clan but come as they should. repre-
Senling and rejecting the wishes of
those who will trust them with their
choice. 1t is to be hoped that the
delegates will bear this in mind and
stand up firmly for the rights Of the
majority of the parish, for it is dem
orracy for the majority to rule.
Look well to the availability of the
canditiates-let us put men in the
field OF sound democratic principles,
men who will command the entire
party vote if possible, and above all
things lie, us not listen to the sugses-
tons Of the opposite party for in so
doing VIC will be weakened. If they
could influence US to put out weak
ticket they would he all right, but let
US do as they did in Alabama, put out
good ticket and rally to it. Do not
countenance Independents, for though
he may be a good Democra: if sup
ported by the Republicans he is in a
measure their candidate
To-day will decide the future Of
Richland for four years. The men
selected to-day should he sound and
firm. and We believe they will he Of
that kind for VIC understand that there
will be a general turnout.
