At the bidding Of the Executive Com
mI,tce u convention Of the Democracy
inc, at the Courthous. on Monday last and
decided Ia have TO nominations Like
the King Of France with his army ~ one
hundred Thousand men, they marched up
the hill and then down again tn" call
upon the people was singular one, aud
wa. founded upon the supposed existence
Of "A public ..ntimrnt favurabl. to nomina-
,ian-. This last erection and convention
s.ttk- the question finally. We will baN-
no nominations. Tom, Dick, Harry aud
nil the boys Of al aspiring turn "f mind
all those who banker for the tr-h-pots or
the ,kimmings thcrcot-wlii have fair
chance, a chance fair for the indi, ltiuals
but very unfair Ia the people and the
Democratic party. IN this election n
majoriH Of the people will no, rule.
successful candidates will owe their sue
cess to minority.
Three months ago nomination would
have been proper and advisable. INT the
party managers delayed the matter too
lung. Or rather, to speak more correctly,
thr party managers had nothing To do
with the matter At all until 1t was too
late to accomplish any good result.
t'pou the rctufn of a." editor eli the
Guardian from Texas he found That no
wis. action had been taken. aud that the
affairs of the party had been suffered To
fall into such "A shape that nominations
would have been iujudicious. Finding
that an expression of opinion from the
I parfy organ vas demanded, We gave that
| opinion ~ opposed Ia nominations,
! We admitted, and do nov, that from
| any point nf oh-cr, alton the outlook for
the prosperous condition Of the party III
| this parish i, bad. Yet from the stand
point ct no nominations, the hope for
perfect organization ~ The future j, better
than the other way. II the disuiicctcd
/ element had u party To- fall into We might
anticipate -.IIuus trouble uc>t year. But
! 10y that time ia" t,rrruhach party viii
have died. ~ tn" slang phrase goes,
very dead. We publish rlsrwhcr" to-day
certain hgHr'.- WAich show the impending
dissolution of that organization. The
Radical party will hr left. We are not
/ Vet prepared Ia hclrvc that any trur
man ia tins section of the country will
I ever leave III" Democracy for that urgani-
| Iation Grr-ubackcr~ even. with their
contempt for party obligations. will not
attach themselves Ia a party orgauila,ion
whose principles are - opposed Ia their
own. Much less likely is II that any true
/ southern Democrat " III attach thcm-rlS -
/ To the party which has brought upon us
! all our ml,,rIrs. W. hcil"Nc that next
year the Democracy can h" urEnuilrh ini
/ the presidential campaign without the
| loss of nrmrl strength. Surely there can
| hc II" complaint at illihrraltN against Us
+ 10y our ovn followers. The rank aud ill.,
/ have worked together. The people have
been allowed Ia follow their uwr sweet
Will. The party Lash hn> been used hui
I irrhly. Indeed, there has been only an
attempt t" usc IL. With M Grrruhlck
| party Ia go into, with our Just and nltu.
raj rrpuguaucr To the Republican patty
and the community of Interest that -h"uit
bind all of H. together, there j. no good
reason why the Democracy of tlalhuu,
/ should not 90 I" the polls nest year firmly

! Now, that the project To- nominate has

] the Executive Committee who made tins
second tIIil lot nomination. We he
