Democratic Mass Meeting in Ward a.

RED LAND, JULY 20, 1886.
In accordance with resolution
previously passed by the Parish
Democratic Executive Committee,
the Democratic voters of Ward 4
met in mass meeting at Red Land.
The meeting was called to order
and Mr.. A. X. Edens was called to
the chair and W. B. Boggs request
ed to act as secretary.
The chair stated that the object
of the meeting was to elect two del
egates from ward 4 to attend the
Congressional nominating conven-
ton TO be held in the city of Shreve-
port on Tuesday, Aug. 3, 1886, for
the purpose of nominating Demo-
cratic candidate for the 4th Con-
gressional District.
w. B. Boggs moved that the chair
appoint a committee of three on
resolutions.
The motion was agreed to and
the chair appointed Messrs. Samuel
II. Cochran, w. j. Spurlin and j.
G. Martin on said committee. The
meeting then took a recess for halt
an hour in order to allow the com.
mittee on resolutions time to pre-.
pare their report.
After recess the meeting was call.
ed to order by the chairman, when
Samuel FL. Cochran, on behalf of the
committee on resolutions, submitted
the following report, to-wit:
Resolved, That we, the Democratic
voters of ward 4, Bossier parish, in

express ourselves as bitterly eppos

to be the outs or Office seekers
against the ins or ofiiceholders, ant
not the interests Of the masses o
the people or the Democratic party

may see proper, which is the only
way the masses of the people and
the average voter has of expressing
his choice.
Weare in favor of placing the
most humble Democratic voter on
an equal footing with the leading
politician in selecting his choice for
the different officers which cannot
be done 10 any other way except by
q primary election and ballot. We
believe in criticising the official acts
OF all officers, and holding them
strictly accountable to their constit.
uents for their official acts, but we
don't believe in the idea that if an
official commits an error or wrong.

ginning of che present COMPRESSION
al session the Presidential and Cab.
iret receptions have been dwelt upon
with ecstatic rapture by the average
writer of society gossip, and have
presented bewildering glamour of
diamonds, lace, flowers, fashion,

One pernicious result of this
feature of journalism is to give i'm
pressible youth false ideals in per-
son and aim. A sure antidote TO
this effect would be to spend sea
son in Washington and learn that
those whom ELUSIVE correspondents
have represented as demi-gods and

who, without the accidental dis.
tinction of official position wo1ld
not be first even in their native

Senator SpooneTs Speech.

The brilliant argument of Senator
John G. Spooner, of Wisconsin, in
the Senate yesterday and to-day, on
the subject of removals from office,
is evidence of the fact that he is
one Of the ablest members of that
body. His assault on the doctrine
Of Presidential responsibility and
Of the one-man power was remark
ably vigorous and effective. He
showed by the constitution and laws
that the Senate, as component part
Of the appointing power, must nee
essarily give its advice and consent
to removals from office. Drawing
the legal distinction between the
suspension and the removal of a
public officer, he showed the exact
line to which the power of the Sen.
ate, acting in conjunction with that
of the Executive, extends and
where it stops.
His argument on the effect Of
"desuetude" in abrogating statutes
was especially clear and powerful,
and he sharply arraigned the Presi-
dent, who is sworn to execute the
laws, for declaring that they lose
their force from disuse. He said:
1t was dangerous time when the President
of the United states, with an oath registered
iu heaven to take care that the laws should be
faithfully executed should send la message 70
the Senate saying that a statute had fallen into
harmless di Use, though the statute remained
ON the books. If there ever was a time when
there was need of respect for law it was now,
when i'm MANY states thoughtful men were
turning blanchcd faces 10 the fu.ure. How
could the people be expected to yield cheerful
obedience to the statutes when the first citizen
ot the republic himself charged with their
cNeCutiOu-was heard asserting that a statute
could harmlessly fan into disusc2
Mr.. Spooner Is q man of clear aud
strong convictions, and he is rapidly
gaining a reputation as one of the
most skillfui and eloquent debaters
in the United States Senate ~ CHI
