The children are minors under fixed

is simply an act of disobed:cnce, which
should be punished like any other

The Coming Campaign.

The Parish Democratic Executive Com
mittee met last Monday and after filling
existing vacancies, organized thorough
ly, and is in shipshape order for the
coming election. As now constituted
it is body from which faithful work, to
the party, can be expected. One Of their
acts which is highly commendable, and
appeals to the good sense of all fair-min-
ded Democrats, is the calling Of mass
meeting to pass upOn-either to ratify or
reject-the appointments made on the
Committee. This is entirely DemOcra-
tic. Fair play and equal justice is a
fundamental principle Of Democracy, a
fact recognized by the Committee.
The day fixed for the mass meeting
is the 22nd instant, when we hope the
''Old unterrified" will assemble in large
numbers in Breaux Bridge. 1t is Of the
utmost importance that the Democrats
should carry this election and they must
put forward all their strength and en-
ploy all legitimate means for that
purpose. Therefore, let all good Demo
Gratis meeton tbatiay, perfect solid Or
ganizatiOn, and be ready for the fray.

cism and hard feeling on the part Of the
people.
1t is but simple justice to say, right
here, that at the next mornings session,
Messrs. Gillard and Gutekunst, no doubt
hearing of the storm of indignation their
action had raised, moved to reconsider
what they had done, but the three others
voted against reconsideration.
The Messenger advises each and every
member, either individually or COL
lectively, to make a published state
ment as to the reasons that impelled
their action in this matter, 80 as to dis
arm all criticism and dispell all doubts
that may be entertained by the public.

THE MESSENGER.
Why We Advocate the Elec-
ton Of James E. Mou-
ton Esq.

Because he is an honest man;
Because he is profoundly versed in the
law;
Because he will make an impartial
judge;
Because he is a man of sound and firm
convictions;
Because his election will bring peace
in the district;
Because litigants can depend on cases
being speedily tried;
Because, his election is demanded by
nearly every white, and a great many
cOlOred tax payers, in this parish.
Because the bench will be hOnOred by
his occupancy of it;
Because we sincerely believe, he is the
most available man to down Mr.. FOnte-
lieu; and
Because he is a gentleman with all
that the word implies.
We have other reasons, but these will
suffice to show that he is deserving Of
the support of every intelligent voter,
white or black, who places any value on
merit.
