COMMUNICATED.
COME, LET Us REASON TO-
GETHER.

Strange, unreasonable, we had
almost said unnatural, as it may
appear, there are some most worthy
and intelligent citizens amongst us
who have promised themselves that
their business interests would be
best subserved by the election Of
the Republican ticket. With these
few, and we trust for the best in
terest of our section as we'll as the
country they are gerry fer, the slo-
gan seems to be ''Blaine and Lo-
gam" regardless of the fact that no
other two names in the entire cata-
logue could be cited who have on
all occasions, by act and word,
proved themselves the very worst,
the bitterest and most implacable
enemies the South ever had. Lo-
gan the waver of the "bloody shirt
up to the present hour, though dis
carded as unworthy by all the most
liberal of his own party but
there is species Of fish, tits said,
can only exist in foul and turbid
water, and of such must be the can
didate for Vice-Presidens of the
Republican party. The head of
the ticket, James G. Blaine, is
charged by the purer portion there
of, and it constitutes a very large
and most intelligent one, as stand
ing self-convicted of bribery and
corruption to promote self-aggran-
dizement. Hence, they publicly
proclaim him as not only unworthy
to have received the nomination as
the standard bearer Of a great par
ty but totally unfit to occupy and
fill the Presidential office. The
facts and figures to sustain these
broad charges are so plain that che
who runs may read" He has been
proven not only trader in politics,
a barterer of principle to secure his
own ends and desire for greed, but
that he is also selfish, dictatorial
and insincere in all things, with
ambition sotowering that he would
hesitate at nothing, however ques-
tionable, to attain its qualification.
Thus much has been charged and
proven against James G.. Blaine.
the head Of the Republican ticket.
Not much, tits true, has been said
of its tail, the redoubtable John A.
Logan, for good and sufficient rea-
sons. Intellectually he is regard
ed as a nonentity, a mere figure
head, given his present position to
try and catch the Soldier VOTE"
and the further hope that State
pride might come to his relief and
thus secure the vote of his native
State, Illinois, for the Republican
ticket. While Mr.. Logan is an ap.
thereto it is not of the least
consequence, save in certain con-
tingency, and we hope the defeat
of the ticket will prevent its occur
ing. 1t would be waste of words
to produce reasons of the total un-
worthiness, both by lack Of capaci,
ty and otherwise, why Mr., Logan
should be repudiated for the posi-
ton to which he aspires. 1t is then
with the more unworthy because

brilliant and talented have been
wrecked. Let those make the ap.
plication who choose; without
pursuing this theme we would here
pause to put this categorical ques-
ton to all who advocate Mr..
Blaine's pretensions or qualifca-
tons for the Presidency, viz =
During the quarter of a century and
more that he has been in active
public life, can one single great
measure or policy be traced to him
as its author As a politician he
has ever been regarded as a mere
trimmer, ever shifter to catch the
popular breeze and be found rank
ed on the winning side With all
his conceded talents and brilliant
intellect, it seems passing strange
that during his entire career in both
Houses of Congress, as we'll as that
Of Secretary Of State, he never
originated a single measure to
which his present followers can
point as in any manner creditable
to himself or that was calculated to
advance his country's interest. He
has been follower in all things,
an originator of nothing where
craftsmanship was test. A lead
er, It's true, but only in such devil
GUS ways of crookedness and i'm
morality as has hitherto stamped
him unworthy Of a nomination, and
hence wholly unfit to become Pres
ident of this great nation. Our au-
thority for thus saying is found in
his own public record and acts,
which are now SO solemnly and pub
licly condemned by many of the
brightest and most shining lights
OF his own party; by a great and
constantly growing host of Repub-
licans who prefer their country's
and party's honor by his defeat
rather than success under such lead
ership. Need more be said in this |
connections But stranger than all |
is it that his few new found advo-
Gates in this section claim him as
the only protectionist to the sugar
and labor interest, thus ignoring
the very existence Of the Democra-
tic platform on this subject lately
promulgated at Chicago, whereon
Cleveland stands and the party is
pledged to sustain. 1t not only |
goes hand in hand with its Repub-
lican rival enunciated about the
same time, but by many of the best
judges is considered even more pro-
tective. 1t is thus construed and
considered by vast number of
Northern manufacturers and pro-
tectionists as the best platform Of
the two; hence, even from policy
they have announced their determi-
nation to support it and vote the
full Democratic ticket. Space will
not permit or we would like to
place the two platforms side by
side, at least the tariff plank there
in, and we believe the comparison
as regards protection would be sus-
tanned for the Democratic. A ma
jority of the largest sugar planters
of our own State thus regard it, and
will vote accordingly. If, howev.
er, the election of Blaine per Sc is

THE Shreveport Times man

THE Shreveport Times man
wants the Great Eastern, which
steamship is to be at the EXPOSE
ton, set aside for the accommoda-
ton of the press gang and their
families. The suggestion is a good
one provided all the "necessaries"
are furnished. And then you know,
brother Battle, that we knights Of
the quill are hard to please, no
matter what little space we occupy.
UNDER the head of "a liar from
louisiana" both the Shreveport
papers of the 18th inst. make it hot
for the unprincipal individual who
recently circulated a report iu Gin
cinnati to the effect that a 'Blaiue
and Logan club, 100 strong" had
recently organized in Shreveport.
Both our contemporaries deny the
assertion fatty, and add that the
Blaine following in that community
will hardly number a corporaFs
guard. Thus it is that campaign
lies are Matched and circulated, and
the people from other quarters de-
ceived as regards the political SEN
timent of any set of people. But
then, We, of the democratic party,
are used to such twittering, SO it
matters not much.

Chronic Catarrll.

G. w. MelIier, of 4o6 South Fourth
street, St Louis, is twenty years of age,
and has been sufferer from chronic
catarrh, which had become quite often
sive. When he came to DR.. Hartman, two
months ago, he was told it would take six
months to cure him. But he has pro-
gressed beyond all expectations, and
nearly all signs of the disease have dis
appeared. Before being treated he could
not breathe out of the nose, and now he
has perfect control Of the nasal organ.
PERUNA did the business.
James Dunn, of 1910 Gay street, ST.
Louis, has suffered from catarrh since
1870. The gentleman told the reporter
the following straightforward story of
his case. "I took the disease in Mem
phis. 1t commenced in my head and
extended to my throat, and bad cough
followed. l went to number of ply
sicians, and they told me my trouble was
liver disease, and one said il was palpita-
ton Of the heart that caused the cough.
For the last year have been practically
worthless. ! could not ascend flight of
stairs without suffering from shortness of
breath and fast beating of the heart, and
my appetite was very defective. After
eating / often coughed so hard that
would throw up everything in my stom-
ach. / could not walk any distance with
out painting. Five weeks ago / went
under the care of DR.. Hartman and now
my cough has disappeared and feel like
new man." PERUNA was his treat
ment.
Next came George Sauerbaum, residing
at 1920 Carr street, St. Louis, who is an
old patient of DIR. Hartman. He stated
that he had suffered most intensely from
chronic catarrh of the head and lungs, but
is now almost cured, his lungs being en-
tirely we'll and his head greatly improved.
The gratitude of this gentleman was
almost boundless, and he expressed it to
the reporter in the strongest terms, say
ing +" PERUNA will cure any disease"

road for twenty eight years, and previous

MAN & Co., Columbus, 0. I have used
but one bottle of PERUNA between myself
and son. He had diptheretic sore throat,
and is now well. AS for myself, it has en- =
tirely relieved the dullness in my head,
which has been of long standing-the re-
suit of chronic malaria. / never took
anything in my life that gave me such
great satisfaction. My wife is now TAX
ing it also"

OCTOBER is a good month for
merchants to examine their stock of

Medicine and include winters supply

found out by experience that it can be
relied on in all cases of Group, whoop-

any nature, and will have it. A good
article draws trade while worthless ar
ticles drive it away. 1t should be a

value for money received. Money re-
