We have received the proceedings
of a meeting of the Democratic ex-
ectutive committee of Vim parish,
but have neither room nor com
mendation for their action, which,
under the circumstances, we consider
to be unwarranted and more calcu-
lated to do harm than good. Also,
we have set of resolutions adopted
by the t,co Vim parish delegates at
the $50 called convention at White
Sulphur Springs Nov. 10th, which.
we do not deem worthy of publica
ton, much less to recognize their
authority to speak for an entire Sen

Republicans we mean the negroes,
for the few white allies in ranks with
them are not enough to even pro-
dnce respectable brindle by the
admixture. What our colored friends
expect to do is not total secret
from US, but their preferences are SO
easily changed by the handful of
whites who manipulate them that il
is very doubtful if they will be al
lowed to follow their own convictions
as to what is best for themselves and
their white neighbors. We shall see

Second. these managers-and almost every actor of

times to the detriment of his art-must put their
theories into practice; they must not only teach

they must make point of selecting the recruits for
