BLACK VELVET COSTUME,

Lighter shade of q greenish brown was elegantly and showily trimmed with a bronze cream satin, it color that language fails to describe, so rich and so delight- ful to the eye. A very rich brocade satin black ground, with gold daisies and car dinal centre made the very new three- toned cOlors, now so essential in the
 most fashionable toilets trimmed this wonderful costume with grace and ele- gance my pen finds impossible to portray correctly.

TIE RECORD.

So far as the record of the two
gentlemen who head our ticket is
concerned, it is needless to say more
about them than is already known
by our citizens Major E. a. Burke's
history is linked with the history of
Louisiana for the past six years, and
his name is familiar to all. He is
eminently fitted for the Office of State
Treasurer, and is cordially endorsed
by all Democrats from one end of
the State to the other. The name
of Hon. j. B. Elan is also familiar
to all as the Congressman from this
district in the last United States
Congress. His course has been such
as to justify thes highest praise from
his people, for whom he secured
much benefit while in Washington.
His popularity was most plainly
shown i'm his denomination, when he
was the unanimous choice on the
first ballot of the Democratic con-
ventiOn in the city of Baton Rouge
last August. To say that this gen.
tleman is in every way fitted for the
position is but to repeat what all
know.
DIR. ]. F. KELLY, OF WYNN,
is native Mississippian, and was
born in Smith county in 1886. In
1876 his father moved to Louisiana
and settled in Caldwell parish. DR..
Kelly served through the late war in
the Sd Louisiana infantry. After the
war lie located at Winfield, in Winn
parish, as a practising physician. He
has always been a Democrat, but
once voted for his brother for parish
Judge, who ran on the Republican
ticket. In 1874 he was a member
of the McEnery Legislature, and was
in New Orleans during the trying
times of that winter. After the dis
solution of that government by the
military, DR.. Kelly, with, three
others, at the instance of Democratic
counsellors, contested his seat in the
Kellogg Legislature, and made such
strong showing before that cor
rupt body of having been fairly
elected that he almost succeeded in
getting his seat. having been defeat
ed by vote of 10 to Ia, whereas the
other three contestants were unani-
mously voted against. In the mat
ter of per diem DIR. Dolly was after
ward swindled out of two thirds of

New Orleans Democrat. ]

The following paragraph clipped
from the Cincinnati Enquirer throws
food of light on the new local
movement in this city, which has
put up DIR. Gardner for State Treas
urer in opposition to Major Burke,
and CullOm and Castellanos, attOr-
neys at law, Tom Anderson and Mad
Wells for Congress. Says the En-
quirer /:
sit is predicted that the Republican
party will change its name to that
of National, for this reason The
party, so long rs it retains its pres
ent name, cannot hope to have an
effective organization in the South
ern States. The name is associated
with almost everything repulsive to
the Southern mind. Its associations
would not attach to the National
party, and persons could belong to
the National party without mourning
the odium that now attaches to those
belonging to the Republican party.
White and colored Republicans
would gladly seek the better Of the
new name. And what Is more, the
name National is more appropriate
and suits the principles of the lead
ers of the party better than the
name Republican. And it is about
time for the party TO take a new
name. We shall not be surprised to
witness the CHANGE
From this appears that what we
have regarded as merely a local pc
culiarity of this movement arising
from exigencies existing only In
Louisiana, characterizes it elsewhere,
and that the whole thing has been
concocted with malice aforethought.
1t was very plain that the National
movement in this State was nothing
else than Radicalism in disguise,
and that its sole object was the be-
trayal of our people into an indorse-
ment of the Returning Board scoun-
drels. 1t was very easy to divine
the motif of the movement here, but
we were not aware that the extent
and importance of it were of so much
consequence as the Enquirer indi-
Gates.
Now. our people will see what this
movement means. They will see
that what we ourselves regarded as

the money he was entitled to for
making the contest, being allowed
pay for but one session, when he WAS
entitled to indemnity for three ses.
sions. This fact alone plainly proves
that the doctor did not sell out, and
that the Radical Legislature consid-
cred him an enemy and sought to
punish him for the trouble he had
given them. DIR. Kelly is the selec-
ton made by our Senatorial cOnven-
ton for candidate for the Oath sena-
torial district, and is entitled to our
support as such, beside the claim he
has on us as an honest man and a
Democrat who has suffered a wrong
at the hands of the thieves who held
the helm of our ship of State up to
the installation of Gov. Nichols.
MR. JAMES C. Nicely
is the Democratic candidate fol. Rep
resentative of Grant parish. He is
sixty-tw0 years of age and an Ala
bamian by birth. He moved into
the State of Mississippi when about
ten years of age, where lie resided
until nineteen years of age; came to
Louisiana in the winter of 1896, and
located in the parish of jackson,
where he followed the occupation of
carpenter. He moved into the
parish of Winn in 1859, where lac re-
manned until the close of the war.
Mr.. Nicely was too old for service,
but served in the reserved corps of
Winn, as first lieutenant. In the
winter of 1872 he located in Grant
parish, since which time his principal
business has been farming, but du-
ring the summer time he does good
deal of business as gin-wright, for
which he has considerable reputa-
ton, aud is well known as practi-
cal mechanic. He was taken up and
nominated without any solicitation
on his part. lie is a lifelong Demo-
crat, having voted the Democratic
ticket for forty-one years, and says
that if he is elected he will support
the measures of his party, and do all
he can to further the interests of the
working classes. Mr.. Nicely informs
us that in lite of sixty two years he
has never sued nor been sued on debt
or contract, (and he has had many
nor since he has been man has he
struck another man in anger or had
any man to raise his hand against
him. He is known to his neighbors
rs an honest, straightforward,
tlloroughgoing man, whose word is
his bond.
These are the men we ask you to
vote for in preference to Independ-
ents, Republicans or Nationals.
They have opinions and express
them, and do not try to conceal what
their action will be when in Office.
Ye Nationals and Greenbackers, be
honest and accept the money plank
liz our platform. Ye Radicals and
Independents, 20 hide your heads
for very shame!

The 1.Nationar' party does not
seem to have stirred UP much of a
tidal wave in Louisiana. The old
carpet-bag-negre- Returning Board
gang can disguise itself as to name,
form and feature easily enough, but
when it comes to deodorizing the
smell of the old thing there is diff
ficulty at once. Anderson and Wells
should hang to the places Mr.. Hayes
has given them and save up every
cent they can make. They are silly
if they tool any Of it away in making
useless attempts to get into Con-
gress. ~

a merely local maiady is by no means
confined to this State. They will
see that it is a well-digested plan for
the defeat of the Democratic party.
To vote the National ticket then
means to all political intent and pur-
pose to vote the Radical ticket. Let
our people Sot allow themselves to
be duped by any such thin and shall
low fraud as this. We have no ap-
prehensions, however, on this score.
They are hardly the woodcock to be
