The Situation.

To-day we can safely say to the Dem
ocracy of St. Landry, "The victory is
ours" Owing to the terrible pestilence
that has rested over the whole State
during the past summer, the attention
of our best citizens has been called from
the political arena to the more pressing
duty of relieving the distress of the
sufferers from the epidemic and in pre-
venting its spread, but in the mean
time our enemies have been more than
usually active, night aud day. They
have been busy organizing their black
legions, and endeavoring to secure from
the ranks of our party some dissatisfied
sspirants as independent candidates by
the promise of the Republican endorse
ment. To accomplish these ends no
effort has been spared. Many of the
Radical leaders have devoted their en-
tire time since the adjournment of our
Democratic parish convention to this
work, and have made more thorough
canvass of St. Landry than was ever
made in any previous campaign by the
Radical party. In this work our own
people have not interfered; they have
been allowed (up to this time) TO or
ganiEe their dusky cohorts at any and
all hours Of the day and night end
have done their best in tleir endeavnrs
to disorganize our party, by stimulating
independent candidates, by promise of
their endorsement.
The result, however, has been to these
leaders complete and humiliating
failure. The Democracy of St. Landry
still presents a solid and united front
to the enemy. Our own candidates
have in the mean time been quietly,
but diligently at work and the apparent
success of the Radicals in their efforts
has proved, as we always believed it
would, their own destruction, it has
once more reused the people of St.
Landry and to them it has become not
the election of this or that man, but
the question whether we shall revert to
to the rule OF Yarmouth, Kellogg,
Packard and this class Of cattle, or
whether we will support the government
gained after the heroic struggle of 1876,
under the gallant leadership of Nichols
and Wiltz. |a
The Radicals have done their best in
st. Landry, for us here, our people pre-
fer and will have a government that
will protect the lives and property of
oil classes. We do not wish and will
not return by any act of ours to the
sad scenes of 1858 and succeeding years,
and to prevent this it is only necessary
that Radicalism should in this election
be buried not only here, but throughout
the State, and to completely bury Radi-
calism in st. Landry and give helping
hand to those of our party in other par
ashes, who are working with us to bury
1t in every portion of the State; it is
only necessary for every Democrat to
see that lie and every neighbor and
friend is Immediately properly regis
tered, and on the 9th of November to
attend the polls and cast their votes for
the ticket and the whole ticket as pre-
sented by the State and parish conyen-
zion. DO not wait for executive
committee or candidates, let every
democrat constitute himself COM
mattee OF one to assist in this work.
10 this and we venture to say that ST.
Landry win roll up such majority as
will make her the banner parish of the |
Rtate. |,

The Prospect Bright.

1t is not safe to make definite predic-
lions on how a town, county or district
is going to vote until after election.
But we can say to-day with assurance,
that indications are favorable to the
election of the Peoples Ticket. The
best men throughout the county are in
favor of this ticket, and very many of
them are in dead earnest about it.
Principle, the welfare of the communi-
ty, and the good of the commonwealth
are at stake, and they are aware of it.
A word of caution: We warn our
readers against paid runners for the
ring ticket, who have been in every
town in the county, making use of false
hoods against Messrs. Ide and Preston
hoping to secure their defeat. Theil
stories about robbing the county are
malicious falsehoods. The department
of Justice under their administration
has been the most economical for the
amount accomplished of any admins
tratiOn for the last ten years. You nee(
not take our word for il. Go to tn,
court records.
