announcements for nomination be-
fore the Parish Convention, and we
are quite sure both are meritorious
ones, and deserving notice from US.
DIR. Casson's name is announced by
his friends, whose names are legion
in his native Rapides, without his
knowledge, and will be urged before
the Convention for Coroner. 1t
would be task of "repitition oft re.

is known far and wide, and that know

skilled and experienced physician, a
gentleman of the old school, and a

his friends take pleasure and pride
in bringing his name before the Con.

HOME MATTERS.

Business, trade and traffic in Town,
during the whole of the past week,
were lively, and the Fall business is
now fully opened. Plenty of cotton
coming to Town, and our cotton
seed merchant-neighbor, S. Cullen,
has driven really brisk business in
that line. But, the old song is al
ready heard, in the decline of all we
raise and have for sale, and rise in
all we have to purchase. Cotton is
dropping and on the decline in price,
whilst flour, bacon, coffee and other
eatables ofprime necessity have gone
up considerably in prices.
The weather is very favorable and
just what is needed for the gathering
of the crops-no rain for the past
three weeks, and from present indi-
cations we have a long, dry spell
ahead of us.
The river has fallen gradually for
the past week, is now within six in
ches of the lowest water mark in the
knowledge and remembrance of the
oldest inhabitant, and never was
known to be more troublesome to the
boats and a hindrance to navigation.
The river is badly cut up aud in
more than twenty places between
this point and the Mouth of the
river, there is two feet scant water
and a poor channel at that. Above
the Falls it is in worse condition,
and navigation may be said to be at
a dead stand still. The little Cornie
Brandon and Frank Willard are stri-
wing to make trips above the Falls to
Grand Ecore, but are having a hard
old time of it, and though light
draught boats, well supplied with
barges, they can handle but very lit
tie up freights or cotton down. Such
steamboating don't pay at any pri'
ces. The Alexandria has been up
and down, and was over week on
her trip; the Bonnie Lee left the city
on Tuesday, reached here Saturday,
left that night and took all she could
trust herself with, and will, no doubt
be week on her trip. Freight on
cotton is now two dollars per bale
and poor freight at that with such a
river.
The Pool line, whose managers
stop at no difficulties, will have the
w. j. Behan here by the time we go
to press, and thus will keep up their
semi-weekly trips.
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1879-10-01


In the Alexandria Ward and no
where else, is our party depressed
and slightly demoralized. But why
should it be2 1t is the same old
story in a new edition and neither
enlarged nor improved. Local diff
ferences and friendly differences, pre-
vious to the regular nominations,
have always pesteretl the party, but
they have never, heretofore, prevent
cd our uniting upon questions of
principles, nor will they now. Those
who hope to profit by these little
"stray discretions out of line of the
party" will be fooled to the tops of
their bent when the nominations are
made and the State and Parish cam
paigns open, and still more when
they close. In fact, fellow Demo.
Gratis, it is free fight now, and you
may each and all step In and step as
you choose, when the real tug, with
good nominations comes, you will
find the old party shoulder to shout
der, and it's candidates will march
gently and slowly to the true music
of Democratic victory to the various
positions to which they have been
chosen and elected.

Somebody give me one Of your pa

war paint agin for another campaign
for the old party. The enemy may
come this time in another gize, be

fout him just as hard as ever. The
old Democratic flag must not trail
the dust after we have worked 80

don't want office we must Harmonic

THE PARISH CANVASS.

Outside of the Alexandria Pre-
cinct, and there are nineteen besides
it in our Parish, the canvass waxes
hot, firmly and in earnest for the
Delegates who are to be selected or
elected to represent the Democratic
Conservative party in the Parish
Convention on the 18th of the pres
ent month. And from what we Learn
from trustworthy sources, the Dem
ocratic voters therein are imbued
with one sole and controlling object
which is to send to the Convention
good men, true men, and men not
imbued with one idea for a particu
lar man for one particular office, and
then not caring continental per
simmon for the balance of the tick
ct, so that their favorite steps in
The voters of the country Precincts
take broader grounds than some Of
our Town friends, whose zeal on one
Office surpasses all discletio and al
most blinds them to the great i'm
portance of a good ticket, solid in
the interests of the party and its
principles, one that the party will be
proud of, and one which they can
elect, and elect on principle.
This is as it should be; all things
even, our party first, and then our
favorites; but, under no circumstan-
ces should the liking of one man and
the dislike of another, bias our sound
Judgment, our party fealty, particu-
larly in these troublesome times, to
linger one moment amid doubts and
cavil at weak point and an untena
table position. No time now to
stop on the road and commune with
croakers or plot with malcontents,
but the old party in redeemed Rap
ides expects every man at his post
of duty, words of cheer from the lea
dcrs, and above all it is expected
that our redemption shall be cele-
brated aud confirmed by another one
commensurate with the best inter-
ests and favored maxims of our long
battling against common foe.
To the Democratic Conservative
voters of our party, we send words
of cheer, and exhort them once more
to the breach. Go to your Precincts
on Saturday, the 18th inst, make
your selections of Delegates, send
your good men, your true party mem
and send those who will represent
you and the claims of your fellow
Democrats to promotion. The road
to good nominations lies through the
selection of good Delegates, and with
snch you can but be well represented
and give your party good and in
vincible ticket. Listen not to the
siren song of the old enemy and his
allies, but take your own counsels
and put none but Democrats on
guard, send none but Democra to
the Convention. Listen not to the
old stale, played out, plaintive wall
Of the independent and anti-ring pa
triots as they as they have christen-
ed themselves, for these are all short
cuts to Radicalism, and in the end
lead to the same place. Stick to
your colors, now waving gracefully
at nineteen of the Precincts in the
Parish; adhere to your honorable
principles and teach all the isms
now combined and frothing against
you and your party, that you have
no fears of the result, and that they
must hunt other fields than the soil
of your own beloved Rapides, to
move you from your good resolves
and consistent fealty to your party
and your people.
