colored of our parish are peaceful, and
the negro has ample opportunities to
make a good living for himself and
family.
Politically speaki ing, Franklin parish
is decidedly Democratic. 1 believe !
am safe in the assertion that not a
single vote will be cast for Garfield and
Arthur. The Greenback-. candidates
may get a half dozen votes in the par
ish, but since Viewers disgraceful
coalition with tho Radicals in Ala
bama to overthrow an honest State
government, I don't see how these
half dozen Greenbackers of our parish
can support the Greenback candidate
for President.
The Democratic party of our parish
is III splendid working condition.
Since the Monroe convention, call is
quiet along the Potomac''-no party
discussions at all; and our gallant
standard bearer of the Fifth Congress
sional District will carry Franklin-I
was going to say IN solid, but then we
have, so rumor says, another candi-
date in tho field, whose appellation is
none other than Franklin Thomas,
Esq, a gentleman who has been u
standing candidate, for first one Office
and then another, ever since l have
been a voter in the parish. Defeat
after defeat does not seem to dampen
his desire for political emolumcnt in
the least. I can't see to save my life
where he rests his claims for the posi-
ton of Congressman from this district.
I have heard that his address to the
voters of this district was published in
the North Louisiana Republican. l
have not been so fortunate as to enjoy
, perusal of the address. He has but
, very little influence in our parish, and
. should he run, sure enough, for Con
i, gress, I can't see the shadow of a
chance for his election. Our people are
: very enthusiastic for King, and if every
other parish in the district will give
him the support that old Franklin will,
he will be elected by an overwhelming
majority. With Hancock and Eng
lish in the White House, and such men
as King in the Congress of our nation
peace and prosperity will certainly
reign throughout the length and
breadth of our land. !. l.. ].

in the expenditure of public finances,
and the dark catalogue of Infamous
and reproachful actions, cry aloud for
will the enormous blum
der of Democratic ultraism be the rock
upon which the party shall founder
In Virginia, Georgia and Tennessee
the aspect is truly deplorable, and SO
bitter the divisions in the former State
that the Democratic party have carried
them into national politics and are re-
peating the disastrous anomaly of hav-
ing two electoral tickets in the field.
In our own State and in the metropolis
of the Gulf, New Orleans, the spirit of
dissension is looming up and assuming
a species of political hoodlumism which
threatens the party and renders the
complexion thereof anything but def
nitely certain. In North Louisiana no
ostensible signs indicate the current OF
political matters. A strange apathy
exists in view of the unsettledness OF
our political condition. From appear
ances much is required in strict, active,
working adherence to true Democracy,
such as is enunciated by our noble
presidential candidate, Gen. Hancock.
| That hydra headed monster, ultraism,
which clings to a rule or ruin policy,
will inevitably entail ruin, if allowed
to go unchecked. 1t is that which as
sumes the names of Independentism
and those local name which indicate
its purposes in the various Southern
States. The duty of the hour presses
heavily, and should be fully met in
organized work. Our Democratic lead
ers-our press-the rank and file should
mark we'll the demands of the situa.
ton. Prejudice must be subducd, di'
visions must be healed, party unity
must be secured and cemented, or else
woe unto the hopes Of the South
Conservatism and compromise must
and only can cure the sores of dissen.
sion, and tho welfare of our nation de
mands it.

PRESS CONVENTION.

There is no longer any doubt that the
members of the Louisiana Press will
meet in Convention at Baton Rouge
on Monday, the 18th of October, next.
The main purpose of the gathering is
to organize permanently an association
tremendously united for the advance
ment of newspaper interests, mutual
support and protection among the
members, and the promotion of a
spirit, generally, looking to the elcva-
ton in tone and in pence of the fourth
estate of tho realm. The City Council
of the restored Capital have instructed
their Finance committee to render all
the pecuniary aid deemed available for
the entertainment of the City's guests,
and tho citizens likewise ask space for
a fow lines of greeting and hospitality.
And, thus, ancient Red Stick returns
generous recognition, showing her
fitness as the place selected for the in
ausuration of the Press Association of
Louisiana. And with these favorable
offerings and jolly prospects, the val
liant knights of the lead pencil will,
spite of floods and rush of paying jobs,
assemble in full force at Baton Rouge
on the day and for the purpose above
announced.
The item of expenses being most
prominent among the prcliminaries
with our brethren, we lay before them,
with pleasure, the following note from
Major Green, General Manager of the
", S. e. p. Railroad:
MONROE, La, Sept. ii, 1880.
Capt. G. w. McCranie, Editor Telegraph !:

VERY KIND WORDS.

The OUACHITA TELEGRAPH turned
into it's sixteenth year last Friday.
We wish the TELEGRAPH and its gifted
editor the prosperity which sterling
worth so richly merits.
[Bossier Banner.l
The ssold reliable" OUACHITA TELE-
GRAPH-which has become endeared
to US after many years perusal as one
of the journalistic polestars to political
wisdom, truth and culture in Louisiana
has entered upon it's 10th volume
with every indication of a long and
prosperous career. The TELEGRAPH
Is sound in its Democracy, and the
Democrats of its locality and section
ought to consider that, in helping it by
substantial patronage, they also much
promote the cause of their party, To-
cally, and in the grand result of the
campaign.
lRichland Beacon.l
The OUAcHITA TELEGRAPH entered
last week upon Its 10th year, which il
says Is about twice the average age OF
newspapers. Well, If editorial ability
consistent and unchanging political
course and neat appearance and clear
print should entitle paper to such {
blessing, the TELEGRAPH deserves t,
live to ten times the average newspape
age for we really think it is the ables
edited paper in the State. 1t has neve
changed editors, Geo. w. McCrani
having had charge of it from its frs
issue. May 1t and its big hearted edito
live to realize all of his fondest cher
ished hopes, political and Individual.
