THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

We hope that the Democrats Of this
parish will signify their loyalty to the
party, by going to tho polls to day,
thus aiding in selecting u good Dis
trict and Parocliial ticket. Four
years will elapse before the people
will he called upon again to elect
these officers. Therefore it behooves
every good citizen not to remain IN
different on such M important occa-
sion as this. We want the very best
and most efficient officers that can
be obtained to conduct our public
affairs, and We are sure that the
mannuvering Of the Independent as-
pirants to office, will not prevent the
good people of our parish from per-
forming the duty, they owe them
selves and the community. The at-
tempt to disrupt the Democratic par
ty, in East Baton Rouge, has resulted
in u most complete failure and we
advise all hands to stop grumbling
and render the organization one of
the most compact and patriotic in the
State. BY this time many have
found out that it won't pay to run
with every boom that is made,
whether it he called Greenback, In
dependent or anything else. 10 he
firm and steadfast to ones party as
sociations aud principles is always the
best policy.
1t is an invariablc rule in politics
that those men who cndcavOr to fol-
low every political movement that
comes along finally play themselves
completely out.
A man whom everybody knows
where to place will, sooner or later,
be appreciated by his fellow citizens,
and whether he be an aspirant for
prefcrmcnt or not, faithful adherence
to principle will win for him the es-
TEEN Of the community. Therefore
do We earnestly advise our friends TO-
go to the polls, and perform their
duty, as good citizens, md Demo.

FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

Hon. Milton J. CUNNINGHAM, Of
Natcllit0chcs, is another Of Louisiana's
true and tried SONS, who would bring
to the position Of Lieutenant Gov
ernor large experience IN Leg
islative ssemblies--bright, quick and
active Mtellect--an unstained reputa-
ton for devotion to the Democratic
party and our State in her dark
days of troubles and trinls--and
grnocs Of person md character which
peculiarly fit him for that position.
Aside from these considerations he comes
from our ncighbOring parish Of Natchi-
tochcs, than which no parish IN the
State has made more gallant fight and
ut more actual sacrifice IN our struggles
with the radical party. VS. are not IN
favor of drawing sectional lines, but
other things being equal, we think that
Natchitoches Is entitled to the compli.
ment Of u place on the State ticket, md
when she can present tho name Of gal
liant gentleman 40 well able to adorn the
office and discharge it's duties 10 we'll as
we are sure Mr.. Cunningham would inthat
VVbIVovuy W. NutlN VllVU lid V1iIIIlS NllVuNl
be recognized. We feel confident That
the State Convention cnn not find u
ticket which would give more universal
satisfaction than that which would he
headed by the names Of Witt aud Cum
ningham. Sabine Index.
What We know of Mr.. Cunning
ham Is that as u member of the Con-
vention, he was always in attendance
in the committee room, ind lit the
assembly, performing his duty to-
wards his constituents with q zeal and
fcarlcssness that won him tho high re-
gard and the confidence of every one
of his colleagues. Heis q young and
handsome man, full Of energy and de-
termination, possessing abundant
ability to fill whatever station may be
assigned to him. He is earnest and
sincere in everything that he does,and
is not simply n Democrat in name, but
one in principle and oflibcral and ell
lightened views.
We heartily concur in oil that the
Sabine index says Of him, and nothing
would cause ny more pleasure than
to have occasion to vote for that gal
liant soldier Of the Second Louisiana
Infantry, our ex-comrade in tho Vir-
ginia army, and esteemed colleague
in the late Convention, Hon. NJ. J
CUNNINGHAM, for our next Licuten-
ant Governor. r

highly, men for whom we have voted
every time they have been candidates
for Office. We felt that the link was
broken that bound US together, and
henceforth, 10 defense Of the princi-
pies and the party that we can never
abandon, We are to stand, and Willie
found arrayed sternly against them.
We cannot hsrbor any unfuendly
feeling towards them, and wa sim
cerely wish them every success, save
in their undertaking to destroy the
glorious Democratic party Of East
Baton Rouge, one Of the most gallant
organizations in the State.
Henceforth our voice and our vote
must and will go against their aspirin
tons. We will not revile their names,
but shall call upon those whose loyal
ty to theDemOcratic banner can never
be shaken, to stand beside us, to aid
us In routing these opponents, ~ we'll
as anyothers, who might present them
selves.
Under the name Of "people's party"
they throw down the gauntlet to the
Democracy. We say to our faithful
friends and comrades: Take up their
gage Of contest and rally once again
to the old colors. They are always
dearer whenever danger surrounds
them.

LET Us LOOK BEF0RE WE LEAP,

pose Of naming the officers, who are

tuition lately framed, rs we can truth
fully say, by the Democratic party.
Under its workings very material
changes will take place, as compared
to the present mode Of conducting the
Government of our State. The next
General Assembly will have before it
the gigantic task Of rc-arranging our
Statutes, that they may be in thor
Ough harmony with the new organic
law. TO the Executive will devolve
the grave responsibility Of pointing

FORWARD, DEMOCRATS. - To-day
is the time to show ones cOlOrs. The
Independents have had their say !;
the unterrifed must now come to the
front. We won't advise the boys to

have surely entitled him to some
consideration.
