Democratic Executive Committee

At a full meeting Of the Parish
Democratic Executive Committee.
held March Il, 1884, the following
preamble and resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, 1t has been the GUS
tom of the Democratic Executive
Committee of the parish of Madi-
son with a single exception) to
nominate parish officers, call mass
meetings and to perform such
other actions ras may be, in their
judgment, for the best interests of
the party, and as will unite the
strengthen the Democratic voters;
And whereas, This result can
not now be accomplished, in con-
sequence of the action of about
seventy-fve Democrats who, in a
mass meeting held at Tallulah,
March 10th, nominated par
ish ticket, and also an Execu-
tive Committee, thereby severing
their connection with the legally
constituted authorities, elected at a
mass meeting held at Tallulah,
November 10, 1888:
And whereas, The object in
naming a parish ticket either by
mass meeting or by the Executive
1 Committee, which object is to con-
centrate the entire power and re-
sources of the party on one ticket,
has been rendered impossible by
the action of these seventy-fivc
1 Democrats.
Therefore be it resolved by the
Democratic Executive Committee
of the parish of Madison, That VIC
deem it inexpedient to place in
nomination any ticket, leaving il
to the people to decide by their
votes who of the various candi-
dates they prefer for the parochial
Offices.
Resolved, That the influ.
cnce of this Committee will be ex.
erciscd in behalf of the Democrat,
party, and without partially to.
wards any DemocEatic candidates
Be it further resolved, That W,
pledge our hearty support to the
Democratic State ticket, and to tn,
District ticket nominated by tho
1 Convention represented by the del
egates from Madison and East Car
i roll.

TIE DISTRICT NOMINATIONS.


inst. at Delta for District officers,
is now before the people of Madi-
son for their consideration. This
ticket was nominated ina proper
manner. The delegates to the
District Convention were the same
delegates seated in the Baton
Rouge Convention, the action of
which Convention clearly cstab-
lished their right to represent Mad
ison in the District Convention as
they were appointed TO attend both
conventions.
The East Carroll delegation rec
ognizcd this fact by going into con-
yention with them, and refusing to
unite with the Lucas-Crandell fac
ton, who held little Convention
of their own and placed in nomin-
alton a ticket already nominated
by the scvcnty-fve irrcconcilables
at what they called a mass meeting
held March 10th at Tallulah.
1t will be remembered that the
cas-Crandcll party took the
same action in regard to delegates
to Baton. Rouge as did the Demo
cratic party, namely; appointing
them, the delegates, to represent
them at Baton Rouge, and also al
the District Convention. Yet on
March 10th, at the so-callcd mas.
meeting bran new set of dele
gates were appointed to attend thu
District Convention at Delta. Why
they should appoint delegates a
all to attend Convention called by
the Democratic Parish Executiv,
Committee, when they have per
sistently refused to acknowledge
that Committee, is an inconsistcn
cy they have never attempted t
explain.
The actions ofthe Lucas Crandcl
party are, however, incXplicablc
and can only be recorded withou
explanation. The Democrat
District ticket is before you and j
was nominated properly and legal
f ly, and if you have any objection
to it now is the time to state them
The Lucas-Crandcll party, {
course, object to it on general prir
ciples. They have ticket of thci
: own, and naturally object to an
: other. But their objections nee
not be considered, for that reason
Docs the Democratic party of Mao
ison parish object to it. If the
do the columns of the TINES al
t open to the statement of such oil
: lection. Do not, however, borro
n any of your reasons from the Lucas
, Crandell party. Use your ow
i judgment and not the ideas
: a set of men who are opposed
everything that they cannot run
/ fsuit their own interests.

To the Republican Voters Of Minnesota: The

tude and significance our highest hopes, in

moved confidence in an overwhelming triumph
for Blaine and Logan in November. That
Minnesota will exceed rather than fall

lican majority for the electoral ticket, is
now highly probable. It should be our pride
to send Minnesota to the front SO the ban
ner Republican state of the solid North; and
we have prospect of doing this, if we roll up
our pledged majority. But even more i'm
portant duty lies before us. That duty is to
return q solid Republican delegation to con-
gress from the State of Minnesota. From the
gains already made in Maine, Ohio and else
couraged to hope that they can rescue the
national house Of representatives from Domo-
cratic control. In all the close and doubtful
districts they are straining every nerve
to accomplish, this result It is all i'm

lasting shame and disgrace to republican

cratic Representative to be sent to Washington

al candidates are all worthy and experienced

and capacity for usefulness of their democratic
opponents. They have all been regularly NOM
mated, and stand the uncontested choice of
the party in their several districts. They are
eminently entitled to united party support

Women in Europe.
Interlacken Letter to Pittsburg Chronicle
orarh


Yesterday saw the most surprising sigh
that has greeted my eyes for many months
man drawing large handcart, piled high with
hay, and on it woman riding with folded
hands as naturally as if women were born to
this sort of thing in Europe Had these two
been reversed, whatever our feeling, it would
not have been one of surprise, Had the wom-
an been harnessed in that cart with dog, both
pulling with all their might, while the man
rode, it would have been much more consistent
with the peasants idea of the po-
sition of women. just before we
saw woman high up in cherry tree
picking the fruit, while man lay at the foot,
waiting to place the ladder when she should
be ready to come down with her burden
saw a woman in Holland drawing canal boat,
as she trudged along the tow-path, a man sit
ting at his ease in the boat smoking. In Up
per Austria saw slight and very pretty
young girl carrying the mortar mp to tho
second story of q building, while man wait
cd there to put it in place when she arrived.
Within week have seen man shovel the
sweepings of the street assisted by woman,
into basket which he helped her to place
on her back; while she carried it to long dis
lance no sat down and waited until she returned
for another. saw woman in Naples carry
ing coffin on her head, chatting gayly with a
man who walked empty handed at her side.
have seen woman and q COW together pull
a coal cart through the streets of North Ger
man city, man touching them up, gently, to
be sure, with whip, as he walked beside them.
remember two women unloading casks
of beer from river craft while twenty men
looked on. I've seen women dozen times this
summer in Germany carrying two heavy trunks
and there no mental, heavy, outdoor labor
Ihavc not seen them doing here in Switzerland.
