SPURN THE ADVICE.

Some years ago a primary election
was held by the Democratic party 10
this county. 1t was extremely demon.
alizing in its effects, and we think it
would be a most serious blunder to
have another one. 1t opens the door
to fraud and the use Of money. and it
generates great bitterness between
contestants and their friends. 1t is not
at all necessary in this county, and its
having been suggested in the Post,
should cause it to be spurned
by all those, who wish to prolong the
usefulness of the Democratic party.
Al the proper time, after the District
Executive Committee shall have con.
vened, the County Committee will in
struct the Democratic party as to the
proper mode of selecting delegates to
the District Convention, without
looking to the Post or any of its con.
cealed writers for advice. All
those who want to act with the Dem.
ccratic party will be cordially invited
to take part; and every Democrat in
the District has the unquestioned right
t. aspire to tae nomination. All the
party proposes to do is to keep up its
discipline and numerically kick out
traitors wherever found.
1t is very safe to say that a primary
election will not be held, no matter
how much the Post and company
whine for it, while expressing the
opinion that it may not be wise to op-
pose Alcorn, Simrall or some other
Republican.

The cotton plan tiers are worried
about extremes of weather, low prices
and unreliable labor. Stock raisers
have none Of these difficulties. They
need but little labor, and the seasons
are all good enough to raise the rough
food they require, and the prices can
always be relied on. At this very
time our butchers have to scour the
country for hundreds of miles around
and are then forced to buy numbers of
Northern beeves.

About LOUISIANA poIItIoa-


New Orleans Times-Democrat,
They now declare this is the way the

Senator, as GibsOn's successor. E. A.

McEnery.-Shreveport Times.
1t is somewhat distressing that such
a choice morsel Of political gossip
should meet an untimrly fate, but we
are compelled to call the attention Of
our North Louisiana friends to the
fact that only a few days since Gov.
Knoblcch declared his remuneration of
political aspirations and expressed his
firm determination to devote himself
to the practice of his profession. His
friends know that only his sense of
duty to his people influenced him to,
retain his present position.
1t is well known here that Mai.
Burke is not and will not be an aspl-
rant for political promotion of any
character and that he is looking for
ward to carrying out journalistic plans
which were in progress when he un-
dertook the work of the Worlds Ex-
position.
AS to the vacancy on the Supreme
Bench will be created by the expiration
OF the term of Associate Justice Todd,
it will occur before the expiration of
Gov. McEnery's term of office. He
will not only make the appointment to
ill that vacancy, but it may be safely
assumed that Gov. McEnery will not
appoint himself to the position,

The correspondent thinks that Ma

crat. The editor of the Post thinks the
situation may render it x 4edingly
unwise for the Democrats to make a
nomination. And this is the sort of stuff
dished up to the intelligent people OF
the District by a newspaper, which
imsgines 1t has a grievance. What the
extent of the grievance is we shall re
fer to presently, though it ought
never to complain of the Demo,

have c~haTitatly supported it, while it
has existed chiefly to snarl at and
SANDER Democrats. 1t wants to be
a Republican sheet and live off the

permitted it.
Its grievance is that Gen. Catcbings
endorsed Mr.. Groome for postmaster.
And it acknowledges that is the
reason Of its opposition. 1t assumes
that the COMMERCIAL HERALD
agreed to support Mr.. Catch
ings for endorsing Mr.. Groome.
In this it is wholly in error. There
was not a word said by Mr.. Groome,

about the COMMERCIAL HERALD sup
porting Mr.. Catchin9s. The iusinua-
ton is a base slander of both Gen.
and the editor of the CON-

nal will support the Democratic nomi-
