"The independent State of
Grant" gives her sister parishes to
understand that she is very de-
cidedly opposed to the present
strict quarantine regulations at
present being enforced by them.
While we are in accord with the
spirit of their resolution, we think
our Police Jury might have been a
little more courteous in the Ian
guage used toward our neighbor-
ing parishes. The proceedings of
the Police Jury will be found else
where, and we call attention to
their resolution refusing to CO.
operate in the present rigid meas
ures of quarantine.

ton, having given universal con-
tent to all parties in the able and
conscientious manner in which he
has discharged the duties OF a
Coroner.
These are the men we are called
on to vote for by the Democratic
party. How do the opposition
candidates compare swith them ?
In a short sketch like the present
it is impossible to say much for our
men, but we will try to give their
record more in detail before the
election arrives. That they may
have some faults we do not doubt,
but we claim as a whole the ticket
is hard to beat, and it will be a
safe plan for any man who favors
good government to vote the
stright Democratic ticket.

in serving it that Judge Raglan had
to threaten to apply the law to him
before he would make the arrest.
The ridiculous figure cut by this
brave officer, in tossing up his hat
and indulging in other extravaganza
didoes is known to all. And all
this, too, in the face of the fear he
had shown a minute before when
he declined to disarm his prisoner
and turned the job over to Mr..
O'Quinn, one of his posse, and, by
the way, staunch Democrats So
much for the Hadnot business.
But this was not the cause OF
Brother Dams dismissal as deputy
sheriff, and he knows It. The
cause was that he charged a 50 fee
where he was only entitled to 81,
and then not until after the pris-
oner had been duly found guilty,
and for this rascality he was dis
missed by Sheriff Nugent. The
complaints against Brother Dan on
this score were loud-mouthed and
grievous. If Bro. d. or any one
else doubts the statement, he can
call by and we will prove it.

CONSISTENCY. THOU ART A
JEWELL"

Some few weeks ago it was flung
at the Democrats that they 'never
said turkey for Indian once" This
was in reference to the representa-
ton allowed the black man on the
Democratic ticket. Well, the Re-
publicans have three white candi-
dates for Representative. white
candidate for Parish Judge and a
white candidate for Sheriff /; what
Offices do the black men come In
for Z? i. strikes MS that the quota
ton, "the three ward officers shalt
thou have in consideration for thy
votes" would fit in this instance
lust about as well as it did when
applied to the Democratic PROPOSE
ton.
1t is a fact not to be denied, and
the negroes know it as well as the
whites, that the only use any OF
the office-seekers have for the black
man is to get his vote. This being
the case we are going to give the
record of all the candidates for Of
fee, and will leave it to the good
sense and keen perception OF the
colored voters to choose between
their men. If the Democratic can
didates do not making a better
showing than the bob tails trotted
out 10y the RAIDS. be their title what
it may, Independent, National or
Republican, then we will not ask
them to support our men.

We have been told that Mr.. Dan
Fletcher has been telling the ne
groes that the reason he was dis
charged as deputy sheriff was be-
cause he arrested "Gilly" Hadnot,
and he is trying to make capital
out of it to secure their votes. In
the language of a Republican celeb
rity, this is not "toting fair" and
we think it due to our colored
friends to tell them the "other
side" of the story.
From all we can learn of Brother
Dams part in the arrest of Mr..
Hadnot, it was anything but credi-
table to him. AS Republican
sheriff he bad many opportunities
to make the arrest, but for some
reason never saw fit to do so. Up
'on the Democrats getting into
power Mr.. l.. E. Tory stated to
Judge Raglan that he had made re-
peated attempts to have Mr.. Had
not arrested by the Republican Of
ficials, and now that he wished to
see if Democratic officers would
enforce the laws and administer
justice. Judge Ragan Immediately
issued a warrant for Mr.. Hadnot
and placed it in Brother Dan
Fletcber's hands to be served at
the earliest date possible, but our
valient Brother Dan was so dilatory

DUR Candidates.

Major E. A. Burke heads the
list, and his record has been so ex-
tensively considered in an article
in our last issue it is useless to say
more than that he is a man emil
nently fitted for the Office of State
Treasurer for which he is candi-
date.
Hon. j. B. Elam's is the next
name in order, and his record is a
good one. He represented his
people so well in Congress and
gave such general satisfaction that,
when his name was presented as a
candidate for reelection, he was
the unanimous choice of the nomi-
mating convention for Congress
from the Fourth Congressional
District.
DIR. j. F. Kelly, of Winn parish,
is our candidate for the State Sen
ate from the Twenty-fourth Sena-
torial District. He is a man un-
known to us, but we are informed
that he stands well in his parish
and will receive a handsome sup
port at home. We can well afford
to vote for a man who possesses the
confidence of his neighbors.
Mr.. James f. Nicely is our candi
date for the Lower House of the
Legislature, Like DR.. Kelly, Mr..
Nicely is unknown to us, but he is
a man respected by his neighbors
for his sterling worth, and all with
whom we have spoken praise him
in the highest terms as a man well
worthy the Office he is expected to
fill.
Judge A. V. Raglan is the nomi-
nee for reelection to the office OF
Parish Judge, and the unanimous
support given him in the nominal
ing convention is ample proof Of
the satisfaction he has given while
occupying the bench. He is well
known to the citizens of Grant par
ish as a man of principle, and in
flexible in the administration OF
Justice without fear or favor of per-
sons, race or previous condition.
Mr.. II. M. Jeter is our candidate
for Sheriff. He is a young man of
good repute and moral standing
and in every way fitted for the Of
fee of sheriff. As deputy he has
given general satisfaction and
shown his ability to manage the
affairs of the Office.
DIR. Philip Goode is a rising
young physician. and will doubt
less go into Office without opposi-

Democracy not unrt.
(From the New York World ]


If our republican friends-will look over
the map of the United States they will
fud that greenback movements have lost
Indiana to the republicans. Maine to the
republicans, Pennsylvania to the republic
ans, Ohio to the republicans, and part OF
Vermont to the republicans. They will
not find that in any democratic state the
national or any third party movement has
placed the democratic domination 10 dan
ger, even when the republican minority
has fostered it and aided it. :. As for the
particular instance. one section of the
Maine Democracy has 'disintegrated'-
that is, has joined with the republican NAL
contents and overthrown the Blaine power,
which the party united had been unable to
do, Who is it that is hurt? And when the
craze is over. and there is re-arrange-
ment Of lines, which party will form most
eompactly and readily? The democratic
party has been through several crises, and
has had its ''cataclyms, but it has always
survived to bury its antagonist.
