lgY rELEGRAPH TO the rEDUNE
WAsHTNGToN July 2S.-Representative Ryan, Of
Kansas who has been IN this city several days, gives
n vervcheerfu description Of the condition Of Affairs
in his State. BE says that the rush of settlers Is
unprecedented in the history Of Kansas and that
the most trustworthy estimates place the increase
Of population by imm grafton this year at 100000.
Crops Of al kinds mp to the average, and the
acreage far exceeds that Of any previous year.
Regarding the arrival Of colored people, Air. Ryan
saws that the negroes srill continue 70 come. All
who have arrived except about 300, who are being
temporarily cared for at Topeka, have found homes
and employment. These people have turned ont to
be very industrious and they stand a good chance
10 make their way In the world. II Kansas were
an older State so that more Of the farmers could
afford TO hire labor 1t would be better for the col
ored people; and Mr.. RYAN thinks that those who
leave the south hereafter. this gear, would find it
TO their interest to settle Of the Older States
of the Northwest.
Mr. Ryan says that the extra session Of Congress
and the attitude chosen by the Democrats have
made Kansas more solid and stalwart than ever.
Another Western Representative writes to friend
in this city as follows: Everything political here
is encoura zing. The party IS united, the people
earnest. and the situation thoroughly understood,
Our material interests are in splendid condition
business far crops simply magnificent, the people
contented; and the new houses and barns every
where being built by our farmers give evidence #
prosperity that ia substantial. The TRIBUNE is
getting the lead Of all metropolitan papers, and

--THE Convention which nomina-
ted the invincible and excellent
ticket which heads and graces this
column, was composed, without a
single exception, of the very hest
and solid material of our Parish,
men of good, sound sense, represen-
tatiye men of their peculiar local..
ties, and men marked for the good
they intend in favor of the material
interests of Rapides, and we'll and
faithfully did they perform their du-
ty and come down to their work.
These men mean business and do not
intend to let the Spring grass sprout
under their feet, between this and
the 18th of this month, the day of
the election. Their selection of our
three nominees was made with know
ledge aforethought of their fitness,
and they intend to elect them with
out the iota Of a doubt. But, voters
of Rspides. you must help them in
this good work, and consolidate your
neishbofs once more iat0 that Mace
DOMAIN phalanx of true Democracy,
and on Tuesday, March 18th, go to
your election Precinct and vote the
straight ticket.

Bayou RAP1DEs, Cheneyvile and
Cotile had increased representation
in the Parish Convention which nom
mated our ticket, for they had won
their Democratic spurs fairly and
CALAMITY. These three precincts had
a registered colored majority of FIVE
hundred in round figures, yet at the
election in November the Democrat
ic Conservative majority was 1891
Surely such work in our cause in the
bulwarks Of the enemy deserves mer-
tied praise, and one of our nominees,
R. L. Luckett, has justly won his
nomination as just reward and
compliment to the stalwart democra-
cy of Bayou Rapides and Cotile. We
say to other Precincts as badly
doubtful as those three, all of which
are covered with glory, do likewise,
follow their good example, and as a
reward you will have an increased
voice in the next Convention. We
have but good words for such men,
such Democrats, and we always tic
to all such.

The $50 colored men and voters
who, in November last, voted the
straight Democratic ticket, in most
localities, have been heard from, and
we have positive assurances that
they will do so again on the 18th of
this month. AS a matter of course
this is good and cheering tidings to
US, and we hope TO see double that
number fall into our ranks and vote
for our nominees. Let them reflect
well on this ard scrutinize the stand.
ing and status Of our candidates, and
then we know they will vote for
them. Surely they cannot End any
such men in the ranks Of the oppo-
sition, for all such in Rapides Par

It He Democratic. Conservative
masses of Rapides wanted a Consti-
tutional Convention, in other words,
they wanted to wipe out the bad one
of 1868, and cried out Justify for a
new Constitution. Well, they have
chance now to show their faith by
deeds of good work, and elect men to
make that new Constitution who will
reflect their notions, their ideas, and
cater to their interests and welfare.
Their representatives in the recent
home Convention have blazed the
road for them, have cut out the work
in their behalf, and it remains now
for them to 60 to work and elect the
ticket the Convention has placed in
the field. Let them do this; vote
solidly for White, Bolton and Luck

their duty and showered donors on
old Rapides.

Lew STEWART, Inspector of
Weights and Measures for Rapides,
has qualified and entered on the dis.

little complaints were made that he
was illegally guaging the weights

days. He has sent for a full sett of
the standard weights and measures
required by law, which he expects
here inside of ten days, and then he
will come down to his work.

"Among the drawbacks npon labor

the most important cares Of the ap-

!, svDURING the Convention here on
Saturday, Judge Blackman happened
in7N,e hall at the time the Commit
Tee on resolutions was out. He was
called on by the Convention to ad-
dress them. His views on the State
debt were very interesting and sue
cinctly given. He is not repudia-
Zionist, but is in favor Of sitting the
good from the bad if possible; fail
ing in that he thinks the whole debt
should be 9 aled, and the interest re-.
duced to the same that the general
government now pays. 1--WE have not
time nor space togive even a resume
OF his speech, which was plain, his.
torical and to the point, giving facts
which a large portion Of the Conven- j
ton were not familiar with. The
manner-in which his speech was re-.
ceived showed plainly that Judge
Bfackman's views met the universal
appropriations Of all present. Stopping
when the Committee on Resolutions
reported, the Convention insisted on
bis proceeding with his speech. His
views we'are certain, meet the ap-
probation Of the people, and we.
think it good policy to have the
Judge to address the people on that
question.

OUR TICKET.

place the ticket nominated by the
Convention Of our party, on Satur-
day, and commend it to the support
of the people of Rapides. Our nom
inees, and we may as well say, our
Delegates to the Constitutional Con,
vention, are men Of the best talent,
ability, sagacity and prudence, selec
ted from a good and wide field in our
Parish, and can but reflect honor on
its eseutcheon, and carry out the
will and wishes of their constituency.
The head of the ticket, the Field
Marshall of the Democratic Couser-
vative party of old Rapides, Capt,
james G. White, is a gentlemen Of
the highest order of talent, q jurist
ofihe most cultured attachments, &
profound thinker, non office seeker,
and in all respects aptly suited to
lead our forces in this contest, and
carry our Encouragement banners
once more to sure and certain victo-
ry. Being the Senatorial nominee Of
our democratic daughter, Vernon,
attached and tied together by her
twin democracy, like hooks of steel,
with her old foster mother, Rapides,
we feel sure and certain that the de-
mocracy of the mother and daughter,
will honor him with the largest ma
iority ever given in the Senatorial
District.
George W. Bolton, the first nomi-
mated of our Parish Delegates, is a
merchant of Pinerille, of the best
and safest standing, and on the North
side of the river his name and word
are synonyms of honesty, punctual-
ity and fair dealing, and there where
he is best known, the Democratic.
Conservative masses are proud of
him, and that pride now glows into
enthusiasm on the reception of his
nomination, and the Precincts of the
Pine Hills will roll up majorities for
the ticket, on which his name is 70
prominent q part, which will aston
ish and confound the, now fleeing and
shattered masses of the combina
ton of November last. Ers
Our other nominee, the Young,
true and gallant ex-Representative
from Rapides, DR.. Robert L. Luck
EFT, is so we'll and favorably known
in the broad domain of bis native
Rapides, that it would be superau-
Gus in US to sound his meritcd prai
ses. His name, and the good work
that we know is in him, is a guaran-
tee and an endorsement that the Con.
vention as tout ensemble, has given
US splendid, and once more, an in
vincible ticket. .. ..
1t now remains for our party, as
the willing and active agents of the
Convention, which gave US this al
ticket, to roll up their sleeves
60 to work in real and dead earnest,
and elect it by an astounding and
telling majority, and let old Rapides
be represented in the Constitutional
Convention by men OF her choice,
honest men, capable men. We have
no doubts in our mind as to the re.
suit, but our victorious legions, of
November last must one and all join
in the glorious fight.
