The Convention - Its President.

The names ofseveral distinguished
persons have been mentioned as
probable candidates for the Presi-
dency Of the Constitutional Conven-
ton. We have no opposition to Of
fer to such men as Andrew S. Her.
ron and others, for they are true pa
triots and we'll worthy of the posi-
ton. In the last few weeks, how
ever, since an expression OF Lieut..
Governor Witt, at the Fair Grounds,
in reference to the true interests of
Louisiana and the reduction of taxa.
ton, The people of this section Of
the State, hold this bold, young and
accomplished leader in high estima-
ton. To make him President of the
coming Constitutional Convention,
would give an earnest to The people
Of this State, that the Convention in
tends to carry out those views of re.
form for which they were elected.
Born in the State, belonging to no
ring, with the people as against rings
and exacting bondholders, with par
liamentary rules at his fingers ends,
no wiser, better or more fitting Sc.
lection for President could be made
than Lieut.. Governor Wilt. He is
The choice Of Rapides.

FIGHT TIE Coon F1Gar.-Onward
New Orleans Democrat, in your fight
for the people against bondholslers
and monied rings. Everywhere in
the country, your consistent course
is approved and applauded, and il
the sentiments of this people are
respected, yol will moi be crushed
out Of existence as is expected aud
threatened. Standing by the rights,
libel ties and interests Of The people
of the State, the Democratic Conven
ton would be recrcant TO The wishes
Of the people Of the coup,ry if you
were not rewarded with the public
printing OF the Convention, against
all ""Conservative'' organs, tina,
spread heir sails 10 catch all breezes
Continue the good fight, and Louisi
ana will be ultimately redeemed from
The vultures and their sympathizing
allies that have so long preyed on
her vitals. Dropped by Governor
that tries to ride both political hor.
ses at a reckless speed, the people
have taken up your fight in the
country, and have no fear for thei,
triumph. Onward! we say, and as
the war of the "Conservatiyes' q,
is opened in dead earnest, if we are
not mistaken the people will make
them say, 'tenough," before your
colors are brought down. "aa

THE GERMAN REICHSTAC.
A Sharp Debate.

BERLIN, May .. In yesterdays debate on
the tariff in the Reichstag, Windthorst, ultra
montana leader, spoke in favor of protection.
Whatever. he said, were the grievances and
oppression in church matters of which they
had to complain, the centre would never car
ry their opposition to the entrance; and
where the throne of the tatherland and the
most vital interests Of the country were at
stake, they would always support the govern
ment. He hoped Bismarck would show him
self for the future Independent of ecclcsiasti-
cal councillors, as he had now shown himself
of economic advisors. The scene between
Bismarck and Lasker caused great tumut
for short time. Lasker pronounced certain
figures issued by the Chancellor as untrust-
worthy.
The President decided the expression was
parliamentary, therefore it did not Justify the
Princes sharp retort.
Bismarck said that while he respected the
Presidents decision, he himself was Presi-
dt nj of the federal council and had nothing to
retract.

Challenge.

Whereas certain sewing machine agents
have continuously and studiously represented
that the STEWART machine was inferior to
the Singer in quality of material and work
manship. for the purpose of decei,ng and de-
trauding people, We hereby challenge any
agent to submit Il Singer machine, and We
will submit STEW ART to three practical,
disnterested machinists of Augusta or Halo
wcll--one to be selected by each party, and
the third by these two, the machines to be Sc
lccted by the judges, from those in stock or
on sale, and thoroughly examined in regard
to material and workmanship, and we will
forfeit the machine if they pronounce it intc-
rior to the Singer, provided the Singer agent
will forfeit his, if the verdict be otherwise.
We believe the STEWART to be fully equal
to the Singer in material, and far superior in
flush and beauty. and the stop motion which
is applied to the STEWART is a very valua-
BILE improvement. The STEW ART machine
is fully warranted. The same needles, shut.
ties, and all the parts except the loose
pulley and its shaft fit the Stewart just as
well the Singer. We will guarantee 10
furnish any shuttle machine in the market in
exchange for Stewa,t, at the end of thirty
days.
