The Ticket.

TIE Democratic party has spoken; ;
the ticket has been made, and the only
alternative left is to support the ticket
or go into the ranks of the Republican
party. The patriotic men of Louisi-
ana, who remember the days of War
moth and Kellogg will not hesitate in
their choice. Let the dead
past bury its dead. Let us mix our
billed crow with Christmas turkey, and
wash them both down with a bumper
quaffed to the unity and harmony of
the Democratic party, while each heart
echoes the God sent message, 'Peace
on earth, good will toward men" Nat
chitoches Review.
The party was too nearly divided
for anybody who has its interests at
heart to desire to keep alive the i'll
feelings Of the campaign. There is
much to be condoned on both sides
and fratricidal blood can hardly be
hushed with the fairest trials and the
amplest punishments. But now that
the candidates are in the field under
the banner of the Democracy we pro-
pose that as far as forgiving charity
can 60 that by-gones be by-gones,
and that we go to work earnestly and
energetieally for their suscess.-Mon-
roe Bulletin.

TO THE VOTERS OF RAPIDEs
PARISH.

In announcing myself as candidate
for the Sherifalty of the Parish of Ra-
pides, avail myself of the opportunity
to say, although some of my friends
think I have been dilitory IN present
ing my name, that the interval between
this and the election will be ample time
for those dissatisfied with my official
conduct to fully investigate the same,
and this I desire, for I assume that if a
strict duty to my Office in all its depart
ments does not commend me for their
suffrages / cannot ask the Office at
their hands.
The duties of my Office will prevent
my visiting the people at their homes,
and it is in strict attention to those du-
ties | can best serve the interests ofmy
Parish and people, whom I thank fol
past favors and trust they will again
honor me with their votes, relying or
the fact that my past condnct is the
best guarantee Of my future course
Respectfully,
i d. c.. PAUL.

The Times-Den,ocrat says: In
the telegraphic report of the proceed
ings of the Baton Rouge convention,
Mr.. Boatner, of Ouehita, was credited
with having framed the clause in the
platform relative to the Penitentiary
lease and the party policy touching
the employment of the convicts. This
is an erroneous statement of the case.
The clause was prepared and submit
ted by Hon. John II. Stone, of East
Feliciana, and the part taken by Mr.
Boatner consisted in agreeing to it,
and moving its adoption by the conven.
ton.

THE APPROACHING ELECTIONS

This year the average American cit
izen will have full chance to use his
prerogative of suffrage. Parochial,
District, State and Presidential cleo
tons, all in one year, is enough to run
wild the city hummer or the emancipa-
ted freedman.
This is an election among all the
elections; it requires one single word
of rally-union.
The State ticket is fixed, endorsed
and accepted; it carries with it the
best wishes of the people and will be
earnestly supported. 1t will be, how
ever, equally important to unite on the
Parish and District tickets. Each Of
fee in the State will become an i'm
portant agent as regards the result of
the Presidential election. A Judge, a
Sheriff or a District Attorney inimical
to the Democratic party, may become
the means of losing a Parish, and
thereby may lose the State. No bolt
ing Or independent running is to be al
lowed. Whatever decision sthe Paro-
chial Convention will arrive at must
be final and accepted by one and all.
1t is more than probable that, like
the Tilden and Hayes election, the
canvass will be close. The Northern
States will be pretty we'll averaged
before the election, therefore the whole
efforts of the Republican party will be
centered on some of the Southern
States. A contested election, q doubt
full State, may change the wholeresult.
Therefore, be united, and let the
Democratic victory in our State be SO
clear and positive that no chance fol-
either contest or dispute be possible
A great many collateral issues will
be foisted on the people this election
In the North they will be used with
more Or less effect. In the South, We
have but one course to follow, viz
| First. Be firm in our allegiance tt
the Democratic party, and by al
means in our power, insure its victory
Second. Throw all our efforts in con
| tracing the revenues of the country tt
the strict necessary for the expenses o
the government. Strike at the purse
of the monopolists and protectionists
and you cripple forever at their powe
for evil.
The people only have right to ia:
, themselves, and therefore as the Hous
of Representatives is the people, lie
, them understand by the result of tn
Presidential election that the peopl
ale in earnest.
Onerous taxation forced us to dc
clare our allegiance from England
In 1889 when the Estates-geners
/
Of France met opposition to onerou
taxation divided that body, which lie
to the French revolution and ultimate
/. ly changed the map of Europe. Wi
n liam of Orange became King of Ems
L land, as a protects against the oneror
! taxation and extravaganza of tb
! Stuarts.
No people has ever allowed itself t
be unjustly taxed unless when undo
the power Of a conqueror or King
Unjust taxation has always led to re,
: olution.
j Therefore, now that the main Den
e ocratic plank is for economy and II
y trenchmcnt of the revenue, let all D.
: mocrats earnestly endorse it. 1t is til

JANUARY l, 1884.

your door
TO give you all the Seasons joyous
greeting,
And hope we'll have another merry
meeting
When Father Time has slain the COM
ing year,
And brought again the New Years
festive cheer.
Through the past year his visits have
been many,
And so you owe him now lucky
penny;
He's told you all the news, both good
and bad;
There's always some of both sorts to
be had;
And if it has not always proved cor
rect,
Why that's no more than what you
might expect.
He's told you all that CHANGED in for
eign lands,
Of the dread plague that stalked DER
Egypts sands,
Grim Pestilence that tracks the steps
of War,
And what the sword spared gluts his
savage nav;
While Christian blood is still like wa
ter poured
By the wild Prophet and his frantic
horde.
Of Frances brief Republic he has told,
Whose fate it needs no Sybil to un-
|. fold
When Orleans and Napoleon wait the
day,
Ambitions game, with crowns for
stakes, to play;
While the white lily droops its mourn
full head
Where the last Bourbon sleeps, dark,
dreamless, dead!
In our bright land he's told how Peace
and Plenty
Make our one hundred years seem but
as twenty;
So full of lusty life our growing nation
That soon twill claim and fill the lof-
ty station,
First in the ranks and leading in the
van,
Of all who win mans dearest rights
for man.
He's told you how, a few short weeks
ago,
With beat of drum and many mar.
tial show,
In the big town that lies by New
York bay,
They kept their famed Evacuation
Day;
When the foiled lion loosed his long
held prey,
And, growing, SUNK from our free
soil away.
Now, ere he ends his simple, untaught
lay,
And claims your bounty for this fes
tive day,
: He'll act the prophet, scan with mys
tic lore,
Coming events that cast their shade:
before,
l And tell you every one with rare pre-
!. cision
: What the New Year shows his far
reaching vision.
: First, he predicts the crops viii all be
!, splendid;
| And next the reign Of Whisky, will bt
ended;
That King dethroned, there will be nc
more shooting;
Peace, order, law will reign; our foes
refuting,
Who say we are lawless set thai
never
Keep our own rules, but strive to break
them ever.
He knows Democracy will have fai,
play,
+ And Black Republicans will lose thu
day;
For more than twenty years their sway
has lasted,
And we its bitter, poisonous fruits hav,
! tasted;
But soon we'll see them fly in dire con
