Mouton VS.. Fontelieu.

1t is safe to say that the race for the
Judgeship has settled down to MoutOn
against FOntelieu.
1t is, perhaps, generally known that in
quitting a lucrative law practice and in
consenting to accept the provisional
judgeship, it was understood by the bar
that Mr. Meuten would be candidate.
Mr MOuton accepted the appointment, we
believe, with that understanding.
1t must be conceded that no better man
can be found in the district for this trust.
He is young. energetic and brilliant;
clear thinker, close reasOner, lucid and
fascinating speaker. As lawyer he
ranks high. His statements of position
are as clear as the sun; he discusses
with charming lucidity whatever he
takes up. With the people he is popular.
His impartiality is conceded, and their
will be no dissent among those who
know him-and he is pretty well known
i'm the district-tO the statement that to
know is to admire him. His campaign
will be active, vigorous and aggressive.
For our part we refuse to entertain any
other belief than the one that he will be
elected.

city panic stricken, fled to open spac es
and parks for shelter and safety. Forty
persons were killed, and about leo
wounded. The city is a mass OF ruins,
business is suspended and all communi-

buildings are unhabitable, the situation
beggars description. Loss estimated at
from eight to ten millions of dollars.

A Fraudulent Friendship.

Ever since the late unpleasantness the
Republican party has been loud in its
professions OF friendship toward the col
ored ulan. Upon the stump. in country
state and national conventions. it has
never lost an opportunity to place upon
paper something i'm reference to the Sa-
cred rights Of the freedman. Their ora
tors for hours have labored upon this to-
pie, often times waxing eloquent, and
their best writer's have written in prOli-
tie and glowing style upon the subject
ever straining To make point ttat the
Republican party was the real and only
friend of the colored man. Time and
time again have thoughtful people asked
themselves the question, "Is the Repub-
lican party's friendship genuine or is it
befriending the cOlOred man in order to
control his vote? And when the self-styled
party of great moral and modern ideas"
fails in getting the cOlOred mans vote
will not the party's Interest in his well
fare ceaseY That such is the case the
position taken by three Republican con-
ventiOns in succession when platforms
were adopted without the slightest al
fusion to the negro. furnishes indubita-
bic evidence that the so-called love pre-
yiOusly manifested is fast waning. in
fact" as the Times Democrat notes, when
upon the election of Cleveland they ut
TERED their dOleful predictions Of the
fate awaiting the negro under a Demo-
cratic national administration, they
burned their ships behind them. They
declared that the negro would be NAL
treated, outraged, returned TO semi-sla-
very; that his condition would he a sad
and horrible one indeed, under a Demo-
cratic President. As nothing of this
kind has come about, as the negroes are
better off to-day, more cOntented and
prosperous than when the Republicans
surrendered the national government, it
is of course, impossible for the latter to
make any argument OH this issue. and it
is wisdom for them to say nothing more
about it.
This action clearly shows the position
of the Republican party. When the he
gro is no longer useful to it, he is cast
aside without ceremony. What do the
colored men Of the country think Of it:
Are they willing to admit that they
should be a political nOnentity unless
they vote the Republican ticket? No. Let
them show their manhood by standing
with the good people among whom they
live and by their votes show that they
are not Republican serfs.
