THE GRAND RALLY TO-MOR-
ROW.
A WORD TO THE CoAaRED VOTERS.

| Able speakers, among whom will
be our Democratic candidate for
Congress, will be in attendance at
the Democratic ratification mass
meeting tomorrow to address the
public. 1t is due to the reputation
of our Parish that the Rapides De-
mocracy turn out in large force to
further the great interests involved
in the present campaign and show
their abiding loyalty to their party.
In years past, in fact, in every
local or general campaign since the
war, our colored fellow citizens
have shown more or less sympathy
and confidence in the Democratic
party, and have used degree of
political independence as we'll as
good sense in cooperating with the
Democrats and aiding them in
eleeting competent and worthy men
to office. This class of our fellow
citizens have the intelligence TO
comprehend that all they now pos
sess and hold dear as American cit
liens, in the way of general peace
and prosperity, educational advan-
tages,. protection in life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness, and their
recognized equality under the law,
are priceless blessings that have
been extended to them and guaran-
teed, as never before, under our
Democratic State administration
The sensible colored people know
that the Democratic party has made
good ALL of its pledges to them in
the past, and they naturally, in a
spirit of justice, repose confidence
in the party. They know that Their
best interests as citizens are bound
up and identified with the interests
of their white fellow-ci As
regards our National affairs, they
also know that the Inauguration, of
a Democratic administration will
guarantee peace and prosperity to
all classes of citizens alike. They
are necessarily in the same ship
with us, and all must float or sink
together.
We, therefore, in the name of the
Parish Executive Committee, ear
estly urge all colored voters TO lay
aside political prejudice, and turn
out tomorrow and give our Demo
cratic orators an impartial hearing.
They will, no doubt, be greatly
benefited by attending the Mass
Meeting, and will meet welcome
that cannot fail to enlist their SYM
pathy and cooperation in the sue
cess of our struggle to establish
honest and good government for
all, without regard to race Or color.
Their white friends will feel en-
couraged by their presence, and the
Democratic party in Rap;des- will
be under renewed obligation to the
colored population, and Will be
thereby drawn closer to them by
the bonds of'respect and sympathy.

The Lyceum presented gay ap-
pearance on Saturday evening, on
the occasion of the testimonial recep-
ton to the Independent Members of
the Legislative Assembly of 1884.
The entrance to the building was
tastily decorated with evergreens
and colored lanterns, string of
them being swung across the road.
On the mauka side large lanai had
been built, this being used as a
supper room, and was most beauti-
fully decorated. The interior of
the building had not been neglected.
Behind the platform was the Hawai-
ian Coat-of-Arms surrounded by Ha-
waiian, American, English and Ger
man flags. On the right hand side
hung a large picture of His Majesty
the King, and on the left one of
Her Majesty the Queen. Festoons
of cvergreens hung all over the
building, with various colored Ian
terms here and there dispersed.
The attendance was very large,
nearly three hundred gentlemen be-
ing present, representing the best
citizens of our community. Pre-
cisely at 7.30 O'Clock, the Royal
Hawaiian Band, which was stationed
outside, commenced playing several
selections. AT a quarter before s
O'Clock, Mr.. p, c. Jones mounted
the platform accompanied by
Messrs. L. r. Walker, j. o. Carter
and Rev. A. O. Forbes. Mr.. Jones
then read letters of regret from Mr..

the sentiments of the Order on the death

Weddings Lecture.

Owing to press of other matters, THE
HERALD inadvertently failed to note in
last weeks issue the lecture of Hon.
Geo. r. Vending, Friday evening the
18th inst. Introduced by Prof. E. M.
Wood, the lecturer at the very outset
placed himself on easy terms with his
audience and held their interested at
tention until the close, eliciting frequent
applause. No little interest had pre-
viouslv been manifested as to the way
in which the lecturer would handle his
question, "Satan; or is there personal
devil?H The high moral ground from
which the matter was considered, the
familiarity with which he quoted stand
ard authors in support of his theory of
the existence of an Evil One, and his
wide and extensive knowledge of theol-
ogy showed him to be ga workman that
needeth not be ashamed" :" Ignor-
ance," said the lecturer, was foe to
all human progress and in the proper
ton that intelligence became general
would the superstition of Satanic power
be overcome. Satan, or an Evil One,
was clearly proven to exist, but il was
also clearly shown that he had no power
over any human being except by the
latter's full consent. Every man is the
author of his own destiny-in regard to
spiritual things as well as temporal.
Orthodox was from two Greek words
meaning think and right. To think
right could not be very bad and his
word painting of the orthodoxy of Grant
and Lincoln and other great historical
characters drew forth long and con-
tinued applause. MIR. Vending is a
man of pleasing presence and an easy
speaker, seldom having occasion to
refer to his notes. His scholarly elo-
quence, with the wholesome moral senti-
ment impaired, and the bright humor
with which his address was spiced, won
the cordial approval of the audience,
and Mr.. Vending may be sure of
generous welcome should he visit Lam
caster again.

Having favored your readers with a
longer silence than usual, it becomes
necessary to once more take up my pen
Gil in behalf of this vicinity, my only ex-
cuse being a dearth in the news market,
the general dullness only being enli-
vened by the endless procession of jolly
fishermen along the creek and the ex-
element occasioned as ever and anon
one of their number engages in des-
perate hand-to-hand encounter with a
six-inch trout. Surely the disciples of
Isaac Walton have struck their paradise
on Green River.
We were pleased to meet our old
friend, Mr.. Phelps, of Excelsior, one
day last week. Mr.. Phelps, who is 80
years of age, is well known among the
early settlers and miners of the county,
and claims the distinction of driving the
first wagon that ever entered the pre-
cincts of old Grant.
Mr. William Gribble, who was taken
suddenly and seriously i'll with infam-
matory rheumatism, is rapidly recover
ing under the prompt and efficient treat
ment of DIR. Brown, of Fennimore.
Our district school has been closed
the past week, the teacher, Miss Eaton,
having been called home by the death
of her step-father, Mr. Ed. Moore, of
Muscoda. She will resume her duties
again this week.
The increase of the bounty on wolves
at the last session of the County Board,
has given a fresh impetus to the hunters,
and we hear of several lucky finds.
We think it was wise step and viii GO
far towards exterminating these pests OF
the sheep-raiser. We. would suggest a
bounty on dog scalps also. GREEN.

The informal ballot gave Dickinson
a, Schreiner 4, Baxter 5, Evans 2. On
the first formal ballot David Schreiner
received 6 and Chas. III. Baxter 9 votes;

The second ballot was then taken and
5. Harker moved that j. E. Evans be
declared the unanimous choice of the

having said that he thought the motion
out of order, inasmuch as the ballot was
being taken. The Chair then put the

withdrawn and the ballots counted,
with the following result: Dickinson 6,
Evans z, Watson 2. No Choice. Mr..
Evans remarked that he knew the hat

A third ballot was then taken when
Dickinson received votes and Evans
Z. The Chair announced Mr.. Dickin-
son the choice of the convention.
A motion was then made that the
delegates present cast full vote of the
district. On motion the convention
adjourned.
The convention was the most har.
monious that has been held in Grant
county for long time, and the perfect
harmony and good feeling prevailing is
a foreboding of the harmony and unity
that will prevail among Grant county
Republicans this year. The plea fol
harmony was effective and as complete
as any one could ask for.

Analysis OF the Tram.

The tramp is not gentle, refined
creature. He is essentially the animal
with horse laugh. He is the butt OF
ridicule, the text of sermons. and the
hue and cry of national GROWERS. His
deepest crime is his ambiguity, his
greatest virtue his obscurity, his great
est mistake his modesty. His greatest
luxury is bed OF hay; his greatest need.
cold grub; his greatest dissipation, 5.
cent beer. He sweeps all ties of love-
kindred, home, out OF his life with more
ease than he brushes straw out of his
matted locks. The past has for him no
regret, the future no hope.-Sdn Fran
