y. }. Carter, J. w. Mcdonald and Dr. Lewis
spoke. MI. Tonpkins moved that tho pri-
mary elections be held and conducted under
which limited the right to vote to "known"
nem,ocrats. Pr. Lewis moved To- amend by
striking out "known Democrats" and sub
stituting all who would pledge their honor

j: j. Carter advocated the amendment In an
able and eloquent manner. q. W. 1ompkins
followed. declaring his Indifference as to
whether the original resolution or the resolu-
ton as amended be adopted. Col. j. w.
Mcdonald then addressed the meeting at
conclusion OF his speech Mr.. Tompkins &C
cepted the amendment, and the resolution us
amended was adopted unanimously.
Below will be found the announcement of
Mr.. f. III. q. Taylor as o candidate before the
coming Democratic convention for the nom-
nation to the position OF Secretary Of State.
Mr. Taylor is we'll known throughout Louis
lana as o worthy gentlemen OF fine educa-
tiOn, strict business habits and unquestioned
Integrity. He has served four years IN the
Legislature Will honor, and much satsfac-
ton to his constituents Of Old Carroll. In
collector for the parish Of East Carroll, which
position he now occupies but which office
Will be vacated in the event OF the adoption OF
the new constitution. The faithful and eff
years discharged his official duties will be
sure guarantee to the delegates composing
the convention that he la emtnently worthy
q their support, and well fitted for the posi-
tion he aspires to. Mr.. Taylor has no supe-
rior among the aspirants for the Secretary Of
Stateship, and ID saying this we are not In
any way. depreciating the merits Of his CONS
petitors, because Mr.. Taylor is the peer of the
best that figure in the public affairs Of the
State, and Is well qualified to fill any posi-
ton in the gilt OF the people, Carroll Con
sentative.
In another column will be found an article
from the New Orleans DEMOCRAT on the
subject OF DIR. Sears, Mr.. Lusher and the
Peabody fund. DIR. Sears intimates that utl-
less Mr.. Lusher be re-elccced State Superln-
tendent of Public Education the Peabody
fund will be withdrawn. This threat is O
gratuitous insult to the State-given, we
d. ubt not, ut the instance of Mr.. Lusher and
In his interest. Mr.. Lusher made himself
very OfIfcious before the Constitutional Con-
ventlOn and exerted every nerve to defeat the
abolition Of the Office of superintende
holding out the same threGt then as he does
now, VIZ: that should the office be abolished !
the Peabody fund would be Withdrawn. Now
he Is trying to force his reelection to Office
by the same means, thinking that this puerile
threat will drive Loutsianians all over the
State TO vote for his denomination. II for
readers to vote against him for resorting to
such contemplate means to secure his re-
There are hundreds On men in |
the State fully as well qualified to hold the
office as he, who would scorn to stoup to sub
terfuge to secure 1t. If we con only retain
the Peabody fund by retaining Lusher, let 1t |
go. DE-. Sears, nor any one else has no right
to insult the State In the way he has DONE
and 1t would be q fitting rebuke to his snnb-
bish Interference, to kick Lusher out of office
and throw the Peabody fund after him, with |
D notification to Sears that Louisiana will not
suffer unwarrantable interference In her 20
Iitical affairs from him or any one else. Let
