At Baton Rouge the CAPIToLIAE
nakesits usual handsome appearance,
strongly advocating the interests
81 tho Baton Rouge RAILWAY, and has
lots to say about the opening OF Bayou
Hanchac. Under the caption Of Pro-
gressive Democracy it "goes back" at
Natchitmhes, the Vindicator, but
James Fl. has the whip hand yet. IT.
will take stronger arguments than that
ola covert charge ofdessrtion of Dem
scracy to dislodge the Vindicator
from its position Of advocating the ma
terial interests of the South to the po-
litical advantage of tho Northern
Democratic leader. When it looked
lovely for Hancock, the National
Committee would hardly concede
TO Malone the privilege Of voting the
ticket. They did not want any long
divisiOn,in the matter of Federal pa
tronagc. Now, "Little Billy" doesn't
take kindly to the caucus whip and
he is traitor-and we'll wager the
people of Virginia are not mad to
hurt aboutit .-Yermilionville Adver-
.tiser.
We are sorry to see You entertain
for o moment, friend William, this
"progregsise Democracy twaddle. 1t
won't be long before you discover
that progressive Democracy means
the disorganization OF the only party
shat will preserve constitutional lib
erty in a confederation Of States hav-
ing rights which the general govern
n.ent cannot take away,
To abandon the fundamental prin
eiples of Democracy, which constitute
theonly barrier against GENERALIZATION.
il to subject the American Republic
to the ever changing wsims Of the
populace, who, at some time or other
will allow some idol OF the hour TO De.
come its master.
We know what Democracy neans
and with all its defects, We feel thai
it assures the existence OF a Republl'
ean form of government, in thisc oun
try, for all time to come.
Until We can see where "progres
siye Democracy will stop, some
where on this side Of q centralized
government, we will remain with TIN
regulars, among whom, inside tn
wigwam, we will discuss the measure
only, necessitated by the condition q

has justified US in increasing the regu-

The above must surely have been
intended as an April fool, by our con-
freres of the Advocate, as a close ex-
animation of thor issue does not sus-

Now let as recapitulate:
The four page supplement contain
ing the report of the last meeting o
she Press Association, is the same
which the CAPIToLIAN and every othe
paper belonging to the Association
has received "all cooked from New
Orleans, for distribution, which on
