SINlMERINGS OF THE CALDRON'

Our Republican fellow citizens
have seen the folly Of conflicts in the
mast. and most of them can no long
or doubt that the interests of all
races and classes in Louisiana are
Identical. The action Of their Con-
yention, which assembled in this
Town on the 18th inst. was such as
must secure, if faithfully and consis-
,tently carried out, the confidence 81 81
those who have shown themselves
their best friends. There are, how
ever, some signs Of double-dealing, Oh
Of ,playing, as it were, two cards at
the some time, and we wish it under
stood, once for all, whether or not
our colored friends intend to. permit
themselves to be longer used to pro-
mote the ends of tricksters and pc,
1fitical bummers. Weliave only kind
words with which to greet all who
are actuated by honest motives, and
we feel, and believe that there are but
very few who have not seen and re-
GREETED the errors into which they
lhaye fallen in the past
The programme of certain of thei
leaders, as we understand it, is to &C
quiesce in the action of the intelli
gent Democracy and endorse the De
). mocratic Parish ticket, and to carr,
into effect that policy in the electio
but to cast a solid vote against til

FINAL WORDS TO OUR C0L0RED
FRIENDS,

'tiend of the colored race, who, on
III occasions, has given you such
advice and counsel as he sincerely
believed your best interests and hap
Diness demanded, and who has faith
fully maintained your rights, oppo-
sing every policy not dictated by
Justice and humanity, we make this
final appeal to you. =.
A few days more viii close the
canvass. We may say,,in allstrutb,
that it is of the highest Importance
to YOU that you exercise your right
of suffrage in securing the election
of efficient and capable District Off
GERS. The District Judge and DIS
trict Attorney more than any other
officials, are responsible for the en-
forcement of our laws, and to them
we must look in order to secure that
prompt administration Of justice, and
the suppression of crime, which in
creases in proportion as the officers
charged with the execution of the
laws are weak and inefficient. AS an
illustration of the truth Of this as
sertion, we need only point to the
Criminal Docket in this Parish from
1868 to 1876. These facts, howev-
er, are we'll known to every citizen In
the Parish. Now as to the candl-
dates: Judge Blackmau, whom you
all know personally, has made most
able and efficient officer. His ylgo-
rous administration has done much
towards inaugurating the reforms
which previous administrations had
rendered indispensable and impera'
tive. Learned in the law, possessing
admirable administrative capacities,
of quick and ready perceptions, i'm
proved and greatly enlarged by sew
eral years experience on the bench
he embodies the most desirable ani
eminent qualifications to fit him TO
position so important. i
| Residing in our midst. and init
mately acquainted with all our PEG

that he should receive our undivide'
support. OF his opponent, Mr.. Bar
bin, we need only say, that if we ar

E that he is in no sense worthy of you
sufrages. .s ahasf. a

WANTS TO BE sHERIFF.

G. F. Laiblin wants to be Sheriff OF
Stark county, and with that view deals
in soft and smooth words, in order to
delude people and catch votes. In solic-
iting Democrats for their votes, Mr.. Laib-
lin is sugar itself. He tells them he is the
peoples candidate !" with some he is a
granger" with others he is sure to say
he is an ardent Disciple Christian and
again, he plays off Greenbacker and
National. To the spiritualists at Alliance
he is probably almost convinced of the
truth of the wonderful revelations.
Now, We really regret to see man 80
over anxious for Office. Such a man
takes defeat exceedingly hard. Kansas,
where Mr.. Laihlin lived SO long, is a bet
ter State for Republican sheriffs than
Ohio, for in that whole State there are
but three Democratic sheriffs. In that
State Mr.. Laiblin would have had better
luck than he will have in Stark county,
Ohio, in this year of grace.
Two years ago Mr.. Laiblin ran on the
National ticket for County Commissioner.
Was this now Republican candidate for
sheriff only playing the hypocrite thenP
Or was be then sincerely National, and
believed that the Republican party was
corrupt and bad, and should be over
thtown2 If Mr.. G. F. Laiblin was hon
est as a National, he had no good opin-
ion Of the Republican party, Let Mr..
Laiblin, or the Repository for him, ex.
plain.
If he is playing all these tortuous ways
merely to get Office in Stark county, he
may discover his mistake-after election.
Our opinion is chat manly, aud not tor
tuous ways are best, even in politics.
Honest people alwsys prefer straightfor'
ward to crooked and devious and doubt
ful ways.

EX-SENATOR FERRALL,

Our nominee for State Senator, is citi-
zen of Carrolton, and was born in that
county some City years ago, Mr.. Ferrall
twenty years or more ago, was twice
elected Sheriff of Carroll county, we be.
lieve the only instance of a Democrat
ever being elected to that position, 81
o In1873 he was the Democratic candi.
date for Senator, carrying the district by
over six hundred majority, getting forty
eight of the majority in little Carroll. He
could have had denomination, but de-.
clined being his own successor, and A.
R. Haines vas nominated and elected.
Senator Sherrick, on presenting Mr..
Ferrall, after his nomination, to the con-
vention, referred to his starding and in.
huence in the Senate. Mr.. SherriCk was
a member in the House when Mr.. Fer
rail- was in the Senate, and Mr.. Sherrick
said he never asked of Senator Ferrall
favor for Stark county, but it was readily
and freely granted.
The nomination for Senator completes
our ticket. The Democratic State ticket
was nominated some time since, and GER
taiuly is one of the strongest ever placed
before the people by the Democracy of
Ohio. Our county ticket is also judic-
ious and worthy in all respects, compos-
ed of good citizens, qualified fairly for
their positions, and fairly entitled to the
consideration and support of all good
citizens of Stark county.
Our nominations, then, being as they
are, eminently fit to be made, will doubt
less receive the full and cordial support
of every Democrat in Stark county, and
all who are sick of diabolical Republi.
can rule.

The Republican Candidate FOR County Commits
sIOner.
Mr.. EDIToR-Though a Republican of
Pike township, l am more than little
surprised at the Republican county con-
vention nominating our Squire, Wash.
ington Guest, for County Commissioner.
1t is position Of great Importance, and
should have man of no jerking habits
of the head, nor motioning excitedly
with the hands, and punching the ribs Of
persons, male and female, with whom he
is talking. He ia one of the last men in
Pike township that we Republicans
would have thought of nominating for
that position. His neck is too full OF
joint, and his head is not firmly and
squarely enough on his shoulders to fill
wells such position. Mr.. Guest has been
Justice of the Peace, and we know
him, not as a bad man, but as not the
man for County Commissioner. His
docket will speak for itself, As man is
known to his family and friends, 10 Is a
Justice of the Peace known somewhat
to the community. Jr unr1' .cl su.
l could not help but notice our Squire
in Canton last Saturday, shaking hands,
bobbing his head, talking with both
hands and punching people'sribs, / OBJ
served, too, bis shirt bosom was deCorat-
ed with gold buttons-not, probably,
solid gold, only washed little by dip.
I only mention these points to show the
lack of our Squire for the position he is
running for The responsible and i'm
portant duties devolving upon our Coun.
ty Commissioners require competent and
solid men. Ispeak more in sorrow than
in anger in regard to our Pike township
candidate. Our Commissioners should
be men Of calm, sound Judgment, not
excitable, but evenly balanced, and Of
even manners. Our convention could
have found several men in Pike far more
acceptable. At least 80 thinks more than
one

,pTpARE FOR TIE CONTEST.

Democrats, and all who are sick ana
dipgusted with Republican rule, should
remember the necessity cf prompt and
tbofqpgb organization. Lot this be com
inenced at once by organizing Ewing
ana Rice clubs
The boliticalcontest this year will be
earnestly fought, and its Importance is
a ereat that an effective organisation
hdispensable, 90 as to secure full
Sle all over the State.
Those devoted to righteous cause
must labor for success, by appealing to
the cool reason and judgment of the peo'
pie. Our opponents are active through
their emissaries with falsehood and mis-
representation, and it is only by earnest
work on our part that we can secure vic
tory.
In every township, ward and precinct
there ought to be Democratic club, that
should at once make a list OF every voter
in their respective districts, distinguish
ing them into Democrats, Republicans,
doubtful. After this is we'll and properly
done, the work of enlightening and
bringing around the doubtful should be
attended to- Atsuch time as this there
are no doubt plenty Of Republicans who
only need the proper attention, and
reading and talking, to join us in the
good work of restoring honest and eco
nomical rule.
Let all honorable means be tried to
get our neighbors and fellow citizens to
Join. us in the good work. Our appeal
is to the reason and better judgment OF
men. Undoubtedly the newspaper is a
great instrument in this laudable work
and it should be attended to at once,
Hand around your own paper. Try and
get Democratic papers to be more gener-
ally taken. Remember, too, that home
paper in a State and county contest al
ways does most good. At least a paper
published in the State is always to be
preferred,
We hope to see Stark county do her
full share in electing Ewing and Rice,
and in order to do this we must see that
our full vote is out. To secure this the
preparatory work is indispensable.
