Address to the Voters of the Third
District.

Rooms of the District Executive
Committee of the Democratic
PART. Third Con. District. !
Donaldsonville. La, Oct. 6, 1856.
To the Voters OF the Third Congress
sional District:
With an unan;mity as spontaneous
as il is deserved the Democracy of the
Third Congressional District again en-
trusts its standard to the hands of him,
who so triumphantly bore it to victory
III the last campaign a sta ldard bear
er whose spotless private character and
whose faithful labors for and assiduous
attention to every interest OF his con
! ~stitucnts commend him to every hon
est and thoughtful voter. Wise in his
council, untiring in energy, regardless
of self, his entire congressional course
has been directed to the welfare of his
district, commanding the respect of his
colleagues and securing the approval
of the people.
In again presenting the Hon. Ed
ward J. Gay to the people Of this dis
trict as a candidate for Congress it is
but necessary to point to his record as
a member Of the Forty-ninth Congress
Of the United States.
There is no interest that he has ne
elected. The Mississippi river, the
various Waterways of the district, the
cause of the laborer, the interest of the
lumberman, the sugar and the rice in
dustries, and the cause of education
have all alike received his watchful at
tention and earnest support.
1t is, therefore, the duty not only of
every true Democrat to rally to the
support Of such a candidate. but it be-
hOOves every man who has the interest
of his district at heart to come boldly
to the front and labor for his trium-
plant election. No time is to be lost.
The day OF election (the I'd Of Novem-
ber) Will soon be upon us.
Arouse yourselves organize, and
be prepared upon election day to give
the Hon. f. J. Gay such a vote as has
never before been received by any can
didate in the Third Congressional Dis
trict.

Chairman Executive Committee.

AS "the black prince uf Incrville.r

the reputation Of a good citizen,
has served several terms in the
State Legislature, and is a man of

1nlS nomination gave general salts

WAS evidence of their worthy am
bition to send one of their own race

This nomination OF the coIored mas
ses did not suit the two or three
hundred white members Of the Re
publican party in thus District,
who DO not zee any benefit to them
selves in eIectlng u NEGRO to Con
greSs. Hence they at once proceed

are appointment Republicans" as

This is the modern Southern Re
publican idea of carrying out the
wishes Of the ''dear :eoplr'. espe
c.ally when the ''dear people, hap
zen to be colored.
No sooner Wa Davidson nomina
ted than every Republican paper
repudiated the nomination or sknl

When the colored voters can be
manipulated to elect white men they
are Glowing men and brethern..

Canadian Catholics, who are Knights
OF Labor, have taken warning from the
admonitions of the church and set about
institutlng revisions In the constitution
of the order, so as to remove the obiec-
tons entertained by the church. These
revlsions were submitted to Archbishop
Fabre at Montreal, and received his an
prevail They were then forwarded to
Richmond, and have, doubtless, been
acted upon by the general assembly in
session there. MIR. Powderly had been
advised OF the proposed revlsions, and
promised to use his influence to have
them made. This incident goes to show
how strong the hold the church of Rome
has on Its communicates. Very often
church Interference In matters not purely
clerical is resented by laymen, but it Is
quite probable the Canadian Knights
recognize the wisdom OF the changes the
church desires made, and they have sub
mltted without an unseemly contest. A
contest, had one ensued, could have hat
but one result. The Knights who
are Catholics would have had to 30 out

taken, would not have receded an inch

OF the Farmers alliance, and that they do not
give any reasons for the refusal. Mr.. S says
that one of his nelghbors who had been thus
denied asked the committee for reasons, and
their Answer was: "If you are member Of
the Farmers alliance we have nothing for you"
II the above (taken from an exchange
which The GAZETTE cannot now recall)
is true, 1t evinces a spirit most detestable.
THE GAZETTE hopes 1t is not true, for 1t
would regret to know that prejudice could

tributlons from Waco, made no distinc-
lions, and this WOULD be poor return to
the order.

Several correspondents in the Fort
Worth GAZETTE have lamented the fact
that its Democracy is not properly appre-
ciated. A better or truer Democratic pa.
per would be hard to find. 1t has
opinions, 1t is true, but whenever the
party or these opinions have to be aban-
doned, the opinions have to go by the
board. We thought 1t was the very es-
sence OF Democracy to surrender every
thing to party, and this Is the practice, If
not the motto, of THE GAZETTE. Fort
Worth Democrats must be hard to please.

THE WRONG MAN RELEASED.

and Second James Green is Released
Special to the Gazette.
DENIsoN, TEX, Oct. l2.-About two
years ago, James Green and his brother
of this city, became involved in diff
Guilty with man named Mcpherson, re-
sultlng in the cutting of Mcpherson,
from which 1t is supposed he died.
James Green was convicted for this crime
and sentenced to the Huntsville peniten-
tlary for five years. November 2S, 1885,
his father, A. j. Green, got UP an appli-
cation to the governor for a pardon,
which was signed by the Judge and
all the jury who convicted him,
except one, besides number
of citizens, Mr.. Green took this applicas
ton to the governor, who immediately
granted the pardon and forwarded 1t to
I. j. Goree, superintendent of the state
penitentiary at Huntsville, who sent it to
the Rusk penitentiary and had one James
Green, who was confined there, released
on 1t. 1t now transpires that the wrong
man has been released, but Mr.. Goree has
written Mr.. Green that he will have a
duplicate pardon sent1oT James Creep.
and regrets very much the mistake. MIR.
A. j. Green is man seventy-six years
old, and not able to stand the anxiety
arising from such a mistake. II is be-
