LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
WILL BE SOLID FOR THE TICKET.
BATON RM1pe. March IL. 1879.

Baton Rouge, March 10, 1879.
Editor Cdratolian:
Dear Sir---I am informed that my
German and French fellow citizens
have held meetings to consult together
relative to the coming election for
delegates to the Constitutional Con
vention. am glad to hear that they
are unanimous in favor of those re-
commended by the Parish Democrat
ic Executive Committee. As sensible
men and good citizens, they could
not do otherwise, as their interest in
the welfare Of the city and parish is
immense. and they know that they
cannot confde it to safer hands apd
soundcr heads than Messrs. Heron,
Young and Jastremski.
I am not aware that my country
men will hold q meeting to endorse
the nominees, but ] know that you
will find them at the polls on the day
of election, shoulder to shoulder with
their fellow citizens, native and adop-
ted, in giving solid vote for the
above gentlemen.
am, sincerely yours,
An FRESHMAN.

Now, that an extra session of Con-
grcss has been called, an effort will
be made to have the U. s. garrison
property in Baton Rouge turned over
to the State Of Louisiana for the use
OF the University.
II seems that the y. s. Military
have little or no use for that fine
property-of many good buildings
and some 900 acres Of good land; that
it is in fact a burden upon the govern
nlent, and the military authorities,
from Gen. Sherman down, are anxious
to get rid Of it.
All that it necessary to secure the
garrison property for the State Uni
versity, is for our Senators and Rep
rcscntatives in Congress to make a
united and determined effort at the
coming extra session Of Congress.
Will they do it7 Nous rcrroNs.

A NATTRALIZED CITIZE,
A RADICAL TICKET.

A Radical ticket was nominated
last Saturday at the O'Connor School
house. 1t is composed Of, that daisy
Schoonmaker, of ancient memory,
Louis Francois, the colored constitu-
ton maker and noted radical, and one
place left vacant for somebody, who
no doubt will come to the surface on
next Tuesday. We do not deem it
necessary to describe the personnel of
that ticket, which is an insult to the
people of this parish, that they cannot,
at this period, afford to take. The
election of that ticket pouM pat an end
to the restoration Of the Capital at
Baton Rouge, and would be a disgrace
to the entire community. Up and at
them, charge 'em boys, charge 'em.
Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1879-03-15

Citizens Of East Baton Rouge, you
cannot afford to take any risks as to
the result Oft election. Indeed we
shudder at the very idea that through
our chickering's there exists even a
bare possibility of defeat.
The time has come when men must
do their duty; for those who fail will
perhaps slowly, but inevitably reap
the reward that their madness will
have deserved.
1.-THE masses must pass over these
public enemies to snatch the victory,
let all due preparations be made in
order to make sure of success.
We hope however that ere wereach
the day of election, the good sense of
all our citizens, will cause them to
come forth on that day to ensure the
triumph of the "Capital Ticket" COM
posed fthe names of HEBRON, You've
and JAsrREMsKI.

WHAT Is AT THE BOTTOM +!


Editor Of the Capitolian:
The editor of the AdUocate seems
to fear that the meetings held this
week by the naturalized citizens Of
this city have Something at the bot
TOM" We read in the Adrocatc every
day, a paper that we have heretofore
considered a friend of the Democratic
party, that the people Of this parish
condemn the action of the Central
Committee and will not support the
ticket recommended by the gentlemen
composing it.
Inasmuch as the Adr0cate was not
suggesting any relief except in pre-
senting one man, instead of three,
that are needed, we were at a loss to
see what course we might pursue.
We remember that on the approach
of every election, that journal never
failed to call upon all foreigners to
naturalizc and register, in order to
obtain the victory for the Democracy.
The Adrocate must also remember
that few years ago, when q great
number of Americans. were disfran-
chiscd, because they had served in
the Confederate army, and the car
pet-baggers held the government Of
this State, the white people appealed
to the foreigners to naturalize, in or
der to help relieve themselves of rad
ical rule Will the Aduocate do us the
justice to say whether we responded
to the call
All that we did at the meeting re-
ferrcd to was simply to endorse the
action of the Central Committee Of
the Democratic party of this parish,
and to renew our pledges and ale
glance to that party.
Now, Sir Aduocate, who compose
the Central Committee of the Demo-
cratic party7 The members are all
american born cifsens, chosen by the
good people Of this parish to conduct
the affairs Of the party. They have
recommended three gentlemen for
delegates to the coming convention,
and we have a right to believe that
this ticket has been accepted by the
Democracy, since no other ticket has
made its appearance from that side.
The 4duocate, who has always been a
good supporter Of the party in the
past, has failed this time to endorse
the ticket spoken of above.
Now, what were we to do? We
had to decide whether we would sup
port either the Democratic or the Re-
publican ticket. Our choice has been,
is now, and will always be with that
glorious old Democracy. This is the
bottom of 1t.
A NATgRALIZED CITIZEN.
Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1879-03-15

The corps Of two companies num-
bered, rank and file, 1O6. Every man
that went down on the Cannon came
back on the lee; and not one left the
ranks while in New Orleans. A fine
example Of good discipline was it,
truly. And altogether, the conduct
of the cadets, with their plain simple
gray suit, grim looking Enfield rifle,
and earnest manner, was soldierly in
deed and we are much mistaken il il
does not rebound in great good to the
University.
Some 20 cadets--of the later arri-
walls at the institution could not &C.
company the corps to New Orleans,
for want of sufficient drill. july 4TII,
Commencement Day, will no doubt
see a splendid battalion of four good
companies-2OO strong.

A DIRTY FLING.

There is general inquiry to learn
what necessity has sprung up to cause
meetings Of foreign citizens separate
from the general mass of Democratic
and Conservative citizens. We hope
for the sake of Democratic principles
that there is nothing at the bottom of
this to engender feelings of bitterness
between the foreign and creole ele-
ments.-1drOcdte.
The above insinuation is a wantOn
insult to every good citizen and will
be resented. TO attempt to question
the motives of olu foreign born voters
Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1879-03-15

The news from every section of the
parish is very encouraging. The peo-
pie generally disapprove of the unau-
thOrized action of the committee in
putting a ticket in the field without
consulting them, and there is a wide
spLead determination to make their
power felt.
The above is something like the
Adrocatc's "garble" of the Brandon
Republicans "Soap-tail" Democrats.
Verify, the Adrocate tries hard, but it
hasn't vitality enough to make things
appear square! The people, to whom
it refers in such patronizing terms,
have different views of the matter.
If the Adrocdte tells the truth in the
foregoing, why is it that Mr.. Greves
is kept constantly running around
over the parish in the endeavor to
SOW the seeds of discord? Try an
other Mr.. Observation-Disclosures will
come home to roost.

tually to be settled at the polls in this
parish. Our duty compels us to say
that the election Of a Republican or
opposition delegation to the conven-
ton will defeat BATON.RouGE!!
