What France VIII Buy In America.
EChteao0 Tribune

1t Is admitted by a Paris journal that
France will be compelled this fall TO purchase,
almost exclusively In America, about $4,000
900 bushels of wheat, thus coming in direct
competition with England, whose demand will
be great. Besides these markets for the
United States crop surplus, Spain, Belgium,
Holland and Italy are expected to appear as
large buyers of food supplies on this side OF
the ocean. Extensive as was the harvest
here, the product will be found none too
great to meet the demands made upon it.

CALL FOR A PARISH CONVENTION How
..5 DELEGATES WILL BE ELECTED - THE
TIMES IN RAPIDES-FAvORITE CAEDI-
~. DATES.
Correspondence Of the Democrat
ALEXANDRIA, Sept 8, 1879.
The Parish Democratic Central Committee
for Rapides met on Saturday, sixth instant
and took action as follows to organize the
party for the campaign:
They ordered that, on the twentieth OF Sep
tember, mass meeting be held to elect dele
gates to the State convention; on the eleventh
OF October, a primary election for ward dele
gates to the parish convention; on the
eighteenth OF October, parish convention to
nominate candidates for the parish offices and
to select delegates to the judicial and sena-
torial conventions; on the twenty first OF Oe-
tober, the district and senatorial delegates
will meet in Alexandria to nominate candi-
dates for judge and district attorney of the
Twelfth Judicial District and Senator for the
Eighteenth Senatorial District.
The executive committee is composed OF
able, upright and experienced gentlemen, and
the party here will be thoroughly organized
and will present q ticket OF influential and
capable candidates.
The recent advice OF the New Orleans DEM
ocEAT to the parishes in regard to free and
fair nominations will be rigidly observed, and
the party will confront the foe at the Deeem-
Der election with solid ranks.
The people, as far as Rapides Is concerned,
are determined to check the influence OF the
New Orleans Tunes in spreading discomfort
in our party. It's stupid and persistent pratt
tie about machine politics" 'ring rulers, !"
etc, is looked upon as only cloak to cover
Its malicious and hereditary hate OF the DEM
ceratic party.
1t is a badly disguised struggle to defeat
the nominees of the convention to be held In
October at Baton Rouge, and it's pretext for
attacking the party. however specious, does
not possess the requisite thickness, so to
speak.
Gen. Fred N. Ogden will receive enthusias-
tic support ia the Baton Rouge convention
from this portion of the State for the nonina-
tion for Governor. w. G. NJ.
