CALL AND ADDRESS

To the Delegates elect 10 the Democratic
Nominating CoacoRiioa for the Parish
Of Grant:
Fslloso-C iiizeRs - A majority of the
wards having decided in favor of Con-
vention instead of Primary Election.
your Executive or Central Committee
designated and appointed Saturday, the
9TH day of September, as the day, and
Colfax as the place to hold said Conven-
ton. You are therefore respectfully
requested to remember the time and
place, and each to put in an appearance
fully armed with firm resolve TO lay
aside all personal and individual ami
mostly, seeking only to unite upon and
nominate set of candidates who are
known to be tried and true, and to
whose standard TIE teople will rally and
vote in November next, bearing in mind
that in union is strength and sure vic
tory and that in division or dissention
is weakness and certain defeat.
In view OF the fact that slight dis
cord has manifested itself among the
Democrats of our parish, 1 hope I am
not taxing your patience by claiming
your indulgence a little further. Take
no consolation and be not deceived by
the report that the enemy is sorely
pressed because he is now resorting to
the old dodge of Independent candi-
dates, but be assured that he Is ever on
the alert, well organized, aud will take
of the slightest error or mis-
guided move We may make to effect our
defeat and gain his own success. Il is
generally believed that the better and
more intelligent class of our eolored
voters will support the Democratic ticket
If you will present to the people set
of candidates VINO have but one face
and who are known for their truthful
ness and uprightness and having but
one grand object in view, peace, quiet
and protection to the laboring class TO
such a standard, be assured, Wnt0 and
black will rally, and thus insure another
two years lease Of peace and order IN
Grant parish.
have the honor to remain your hum

Chairman Dem. Ex. Committee.

AGAINST THE AMENDMENTS.

The action of the Democratic
State Convention, in recommend
the calling by the next Legislature
of a Constitutional Convention at
the earliest practicable time, may
be taken as a virtual recommended
ton to defeat the amendments, and
while it is not advised in so many
words, yet the. conclusion is very
pertinent. This is about what we
expected, with the exception of its
not being as decided an advise
ment in opposition to the amend
ments as we looked for the Con-
vention to make. However, ii is
the plain desire of the Democrats
of this State that a Constitutional
Convention be held at an early
date, and, if it is to be held, then
why go on with the useless patch
work on the old Constitution A
few of the amendments may be
good in themselves, but these few
do not begin to make amends for
the Objectionable features, among
which those referring to. the judi
ciary are most unsatisfactory.
Taking into consideration the
manner in which the State Con-
vention treated the amendments,
and the generally expressed senti-
ments Of the citizens of this parish,
we feel safe in saying that Grant
viii give a strong ~ote against The
amendments.

The senatorss,ip.

AS the resignation of Senator
Boatner has been a matter of
doubt to many of our citizens, we
will state that the chairman of our
parish executive committee has re-
ceived a communication from him,
in which he gives as his reason Tor
resigning the Senatorship that he
expects to make his permanent
residence outside of the district.
We have been shown call,
signed by some ten or dozen citi-
zens Of this parish, urging Col. e.
G. Randolph for Senator from this
district. Also, one favoring Judge
w. l.. Richardson. Col. Randolph
has signifed his unwillingness to
again become a candidate for office,
and we are of the opinion that be-
tween the two men Judge Rich
ardson will be the most available,
and viii receive handsome vote in
this parish if nominated for the
Senatorship.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1878-08-24

greatly of late, as he says, and do
not intend to be led by the nose to
vote men into office that have not
the capacity to fill it. They know
it is disgrace to themselves, and
they have come to have some pride
in the matter of how and by whom
they are represented. If they ha Je
not black men of sufficient ability
to honorably grace the offices to
be filled, they viii use their Judg-
ment and vote for the men they
know will do them justice. They
are tolerably well satisfied with the
past two years of Democratic rule
as compared with the ten years of
Radical misruLe in this State, and
",oiU cast their votes right, you bet :"
"Mac" twists the charge of mis-
deeds against his party, claiming
that they are made against him in
dividually, and the way in which
he tortures our words is but fair
sample of the shyster tricks that
have always been made use OF by
his party. He claims that we have
paraded him before the community
as a conspirator against the well
being of society, and, after manu-
featuring the charge, gravely pro-
ceeds to call it a lie He then tries
to get around our challenge as to
the truthfulness of his claim that
he was defeated by fraud, saving
that his informant is a good Demo-
crat and he don't want to call his
name just yet. He makes a def
mite charge. We call on him for
proof, and in the absence thereof
reiterate our statement that the
claim is without foundation, and
only has its origin in the vivid i'm
agination of a defeated Office
seeker. Give us names and figures
or ''give us a rest.
"Fusion and Confusion" is a
good name for the Democratic
Conservative party. Is is a fusion
of all the honest and well meaning
citizens of the couptry, and has
carried confusion and dismay into
the ranks of the organized thieves
that so long robbed the people of
Louisiana in the name and under
the guise of Repnblicanism.
There are several petty fings in
the article that are beneath notice,
and we feel that their condemna-
ton is in their ntterance, and we
leave it to a discerning public to
pass Judgment on them.
When MAC" has SO far recov-
cred his temper as to adhere to
the rules of courtesy, we will pub
llsh his articles, but we decline TO
be blackguarded through our own
columns. Feeling that we owe it
to our patrons to use our space in
better cause than personal con-
troversy, we throw up the sponge.
"Mac," you can beat us throwing
mud, and we own up. If you can
make an argument for your side of
the question, let's have it by all
means. for it certainly would be
something new to the good people
hereabouts. But no more mad, if
you please. We owe our. readers
apology enough On your present
and a half emetic emergent
of Radical shame.
