The Coming Campaign.
[Natchitoches Viniicator.1


The Legislature composed partly OF Demo.
Gratis, but mainly Of Radicals and weak Con.
servatives. having adjourned after d pro-
tracted session Of sixty days, during which
time they did absolutely nothing to benefit
the people, 1t behooyes us now TO look the
iissues likely to be prominent this fall square
.ly In the face.
Louisiana is o Democratic State-none can
gainsay that and the majority for that
party this election will depend entirely upon
the make up OF their ticket, both locally and
for State Treasurer and Congressman. For
ourselves we say plainly, and we believe 1t to
be the sentiment Of this entire community,
that we intend to support no man, by word or
deed, who has not q straight out, full fledged,
pure record, dyed III the wool Democrat.
Time, and the evidence in book, has complete
ly cured every one of the Conservative
hobby. Principles and men who will main
tain, execute and promote them without re-
gard to the bowls OF the fanatic, or the walls
Of private toes tread upon Ia what the people
Of this State require and demand, and they
are going to continue the battle without re-
gard to who gets hurt until they accomplish
that end.
Their platform is terse and to The point:
J.. An honest constitution; and to that end
vote down the amendments and call q consti-
tutional convention
Q. No man for Office, either high or low,
save he be an honest, strdight-ooh Democrat.
5. All laws for the benefit and protection of
society, without regard to race, color or pre-
viOus condition.
4. Show us the enemy and we are ready.

It Is estimated that 8, 500, 900 tons Of ice will
be cut In Maine this winter. Now, allowing d
quarter Of q pound Of ice for mint julep, and
making allowance for those who don't drink,
the rest of the people In Maine can have about
forty-nine drinks each. Saying that seven
drinks will make o man feel tolerably happy,
out OF forty-nine drinks he can manage to
have seven drunks and one man drunk seven
times Is, Of course, equal to seven drunken
men; so the whole Ice crop will yield an ag-
gregate Of 100000 drunken men. Suppose
that from every ten Of those who get drunk
seven times one has the jimjams, 100000 men

unfortunate men sees one Thousand snakes,
