with me. me democrats are satisfied
with my ofhclal course-more so than
the Republicans. Payne, my Democratic
clerk, is q well-educated gentleman, and
his selection shows that the Democrats
mean nothing more than to have q fair
deal, and that I propose to give them.
AS for Butler-well, he is hell on the
end OF poker and he Is more or o mys-
tery TO me to-day than when hrst came
up y. Z; Harris has been here looking
after PscSards interests. de says
must return l,0OO majority from TINS
parish. If youIwsre to rake this parish
with fne.tooth comb you could not
4 fad that number of Republicans, and
how they expect me to return more Of 8.
Republican majority than there are Re-
publican votes IS problem have as yet
iailed to solve. Any information you
can give me on the subject Will De CRATE
fully received. 1t Is SIMPLY impossible
TO organize our party IN TINS parish;

in the background, and the darkies are

they will not affiliate with the above

meantime the democrats are thoroughly
organized, and are.WerSlng NE beavers.
