A WORD TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS.
We took the position in last weeks CHIEF
that Gen. Brent. the Democratic and Re-
publican nominee for Representative,
would be better able to represent the inter-
ests of the colored people of the parish IN
the General Assembly than any man OF
their race or party whom they could posi-
bly, select, and in order that the proposition
may be made so clear that he who runs
may read" We submit a, brief state
mont of the reasons which have led US to
form such conclusion.
So far as concerns personal fitness and
ability, we assume that Gen. Brent has few
equals and no superiors in the community,
and that there will be no difference Of opin-
ion on this point among people qualified to
Judge. AS a scholar, a man and citizen he
is prominent. He has already served IN the
Assembly and hence combines legislative
experience with his other advantages. In
politics he is Conservative Democrat, not
Bourbon. He recognizes the rights and
will serve the interests of all his constltu-
ents alike, irrespective of color, class or
other distinction, and we point to his past
career, public and private, in proof OF this
broad assertion. No planter or citizen OF
the parish is kinder or more just to his en-
ploy6s, or takes greater interest i'll their
educational, religious and material advance
met1t, and it speaks volumes in his favor
that he has no more earnest or devoted sup
porters than among the cOlOred citizens OF
his own immediate nelghborhood, where
his character and daily life are best known.
As Democrat he will be admitted to the
caucus of Democratic members of the
Assembly, where nearly all important
measures of legislation are discussed and
virtually adopted or rejected, and where no
Republican, however able or worthy, can
effect an entrance or secure hearing.
There as elsewhere, the voice of Gen. Brent
will be raised and his abilities exerted IN
behalf Of the best interests of his State, par
ish and people, without discrimination
founded upon considerations of race, color
or previous condition. As Judge Felix
Poch6-a Democrat elected by Republican
votes-exercised potent influence III the
Constitutional Convention of 1879 towards
securing the enactment of provisions pro-
tecting the suffrages aud public rights OF
our colored citizens, SO will Gen. Brent
guard their interests in the General Assem-
bly, and WELD an influence for their good
far greater than any Republican could be
expected to do in body nearly nine tenths
Democratic.
Therefore, we say emphatically and from
a Republican standpoint that it is the
part of wisdom for the Republicans of AS
cension-and more especially the colored
Republicans-to support Gen. Brent for
Representative at the election to be held
next Tuesday.

Our rough and ready colored friend
Owen White of the second ward, had fall
last week that laid him up three or four
days. He and several other colored men
were drawing raft of drift logs against
the river bank by means of a capstan, when
the chain parted and Owen was thrown vio-
lentiy 10 the ground, sustaining severe
bruise and, as he thinks, dislocation OF
the hip joint. He did not feel the injury
much at first, but a few hours afterwards
was unable 10 walk. With rest and proper
treatment, however, he soon began to mend
and is now splurgins around again almost
fully recovered.

The candidacy of Gen. Brent for Repre-
sentative is undoubtedly one of those rare
cases where the Office seeks the man and not
The man the Office. Without expecting OR
soliciting the nomination of any party he
has received the endorsement of both Dem
ocratic and Republican organizations and
the voters of both parties should unite in
securing his return to the Assembly.
