The appeal for aid sent to the Associated

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
Politics in Webster.

MINDEN, September 6, 1879.
Te the Editor Of the Democrat:
Politics In this portion Of the State are be-
coming active. There is large number
OF candidates for the local offices, and this
parish presents fair share Of names for dis
trict and judicial nominations.
But neither the parish nor North Louisiana
have thus far advanced their claims to place
on the State ticket. There is, however, Il
strong impression that we are entitled to-
representation, and their many friends In this
section propose two gentlemen, who, II noEni-
mated, would add strength to the ticket and
In some measure reward sterling Democrats
and men OF decided ability.
One OF these Is Col. Thos d. Benton, presi-.
dent OF Minden Female College, polished
and accomplished gentleman and fine
Lexington Military Institute, and has had
much experience as an educator, having been
principal OF q military academy in Arkansas
and OF the female academy in Monroe. He
is in every way qualified for the position Tor
which his friends will urge hfm-that Of
nomination would be hailed with satisfaction
and enthusiasm throughout this portion q
Louisiana.
Another prominent gentlemen OF this par
ish and section whose name many friends
would like to see on the State ticket is Judge
j. .. Watkins, who will be supported for the
office OF Attorney General, II he will permit
the use Of his name In that connection. 1t is
feared that his consent cannot be obtained, as
he would have to sacrifice large legal prac-
introduce this gentleman to the people of
Lsuisiana, by whom he has been long known
as an able lawyer and a sound Democrat.
Yours tculy, P.G.D.

they fought with fists and clubs until too
weak to stir. Both died soon afterward.
