TESTIMONIALS.

Mr.. Mcdonald, Bastrop, La.
DEAR SIR:-The Southern StaDdm
Press. which you put up for me- bas
given perfect satisfaction. During IA
months of December and January last I
packed 259 bales cottou-averaginp in
weight 500 pounds, used an ordinarv
SIG cotton rope which, at the close Of
the season, was sufficiently strong to lie
used for pillow lines. 1t possesses many
advantages over any other press OF which
I have any knowledge, Its clteapnes
and durability should recommend it Ia
every one. [ regard the Southern
Standard cheaper at 500 than the
Brooks or Reynolds or any press of like
make at $50. Yours truly,

The New Orleans Times, in a
recent issue, has q strong and
racv editorial on. the propriety Of
extending the Presidential term
from four to ten years. The
Times contends that such a
change would obyiate sthe al
most constant turmoil and con-
fusion in which our country is
involved by our system of ma
tional quadrennial elections. We
are eternally in the midst Of
election excitements which do
immense injury to the material
interests of the country, a condi-
ton Of affairs easily avoided by
making a ten-yaar President and
then consigning him forever at
ter to private life. We coincide
with thes Times precisely, be-
Eeving that it will inure to the
benefit Of the whole country.
We hope such journals as the
Times will keep the subject be-
fore the country until Congress
is forced to investigate the pro
priety Of the suggestion.

Dear sir:-I take pleasure in attest
ing to the excellent workmanship on thv
Southern Standard press erected by you
last summer on this place. 1t not only
works easily but has realized my expec-
tations as to the weight Of the bales
turned out, some weighing as high as
5S8 pounds, and many over $40 pounds.
All this was done by hand. During last
season there were about l30bales pressed,
no accident or delay Occurring during
the progress of the work l feel sahhed
that any person desiring to put up a
press of this character, cannot be other
wise than pleased with the manner in
which your work is performed
Very Truly,
THAD. WATERMAN.

This is to certify that we had one Of the
Southern Standard Presses built last
January. We had only about forty bales
of cotton packed on it, and must saw
that we are better pleased with it than
press we ever used, and we have been
using presses for over thirty years
They are cheaper and handler than any
press we ever saw, and if put up by B
V. Mcdonald, We arc confident they
will please most any one.

Republican Doctrine.

We say most frankly to the
Republicans Of the country that
they must be prepared for lille
climate as well as legitimate at
tempts at their defeat if they
would not be surprised and cir
cemvented in the end Chicago
Inter-Ocean. ....--.
This is from an organ that re-
fleets at all times and under all
circumstances be true and hon
est sentiment of the Republican
party. In a long and forcibIe
editorial, from which we have
extracted the above significant
sentence, the Inter-Ocean con
tends, in spirit, that it will never
do for the Republican party to
be defeated. That paper is
aware of the patent fact that
once overcome at the polls is
equivalent to funeral dirge to
the party of "moral ideas" We
do not object to the anxiousness
of the Republican party to be
victorious at the polls in Noyem-
Der; bat we do most emphati-
cally protest against q repetition
of "illegitimate" means to obtain
that victory. '%
The Democratic party, in or
der to avert a great civil war,
submitted, in 1876, to an ;'ille-
climate" decision which swim
died the man it elected to the
Presidency out OF his seat, and
we do not want to see the same
farce enacted in 1880. HIllegiti-
mate" indeed! That has been
the doctrine of the Radical party
ever since 1860. No wonder the
Inter Ocean bent and spent all
of It's mighty powers toward the
nomination of Grant. Well did
that journal know that he would
resort to the most outrageously
''illegitimate" meanstto secure
the reigns of this government.
Never would Grant and the ele-
ment that stood SO solidly for
him at Chicago have submitted
to defeat. He would not hesitate
a moment to plunge the country
into a bloody war. If Garfield,
who aided in the "illegitimate"
electoral fraud Of 1876, will listen
to such opponents of Republican
doctrines as the Inter-Ocean, he
will make an attempt to enter
the White House whether elected
or not. We want a Democratic
candidate who has the courage
Es + Y ! & 81
to stand firmly against such
"illegitimate'' doctrine.

ly?" Questions of that charac-
ter have been propounded SO OF.
ten by the friends of Mr., Rich.
ardson that we have almost con.
Guided that they base their only
hope of his election upon the
ground that the people of this
District are too magnanimous to
keep King in a fat Office two
terms to the exclusion of "Col
Bob" Indeed,sin their hot and
almost hopeless pursuit of Con
gressional honors for Col. Rich
ardsou, some Of his indiscreet
admirers have very ineautioussy
insinuated that the press Of this
District had "been bought" by
King, and that he controls the
sentiment expressed by certain
journals with his plethoric peck
et-book. We do not mention
this SANDER upon the majority
of the fearless journals of the
District for any other purpose
than to show how unfairly and un-
friendly the Richardson boom
ers" are disposed to act toward
Gen. King and his friends.
We do not object to Colonel
Richardson as a man-as a high
toned, polished, educated gentle
admire him. His past
record, so far as we know,I'is un-
stained. We admire his ambi-
ton, which prompts him to as
pire to.the exalted and dignifed
position Of a national legislator.
It is a position that reflects
honor upon any man that can
obtain it. But we do not admire
the ungenerous and malignant
war that his friends make upon
King and those who urge his re-
election from sense of unself-
ish and patriotic duty.
Slandering King and pitching
innnendoes at his friends, do not
strengthen the chances Of Rich
ardson. To the contrary, sensi-
Bile people are disgusted with any
such unwaranted calumny.
It has been often stated in
these columns that We advocate
the claims of Gen. King because
we think him capable and will
ing to perform the duties that
his position imposes upon him.
That reason alone is sufficient
to induce any thinking man to
vote for him. But there are
many other reasons why we, in
common with the majority of the
people Of the District, urge the
reelection Of King. The GER
tainty Of his carrying the Dis
trict is a strong reason why we
support him. During the last
campaign he Was considered the
most available man, because he
was the only man that could
command and secure the vote of
the river parishes: We think he
is the only man that can certain
~ carry those parishes now.
Another reason why we sup
port him. .v
In the campaign Of 1878
General King led ths van of
the Democratic party when it
looked like defeat was almost in
evitable. He labored diligently
and untitingly for the victory
which he won. He had the well
fare and the interest of the peo-
pie at heart, and with those peo-
pie he was bold and true enough
to risk the chagrin of a defeat.
Another reason why We sup
port him. II H
