lutely essential to the happiness and
prosperity of our people.
We pledge the Democratic party OF
this State to an earnest effort to place

amount from the annual revenues of
the State to provide for the suitable

great agricultural interests by ade-
quate legislation for their develop
ment and promotion, and especial
~ by the encouragement aud mainte-
nance Of the Agricultural College and
the present and proposed State eEpe-

Platform.

We, the Democracy of the State OF
Louisiana, in convention assembled,
do announce and declare:
First. Oar devotion to the time
honored principles of the Democratic
party as proclaimed by its founder,
Thomas jefferson, believing that their
recognition and enforcement are es-
sential to the maintenance of free in
situations and popular government.
Second. That we indorse the ad-
ministratien of Grover Cleveland, and
believe that the interests of the Union
will be best >ll'servcd By his re-elec-
ton; we also indorsc the administra-
ton of Gov. Samuel Douglas McEn-
cry as a recognition Of the eminent
services to the State of il faithful pu-
bic servant !; and We affirm that the add
ministration of public affairs in Louis
lana has, during the last eleven years,
brought the State ont of anarchy, de-
vOloped wealth and prosperity, and
paved the way to the high position
Louisiana is entitled to among the
States, and we pledge curse YES to its
perpetuation.
Third. We pledge ourselves to an
economical administration OF public
affairs, to all maintenances of the State
credit by limiting appropriations to
the extent OF the revenues and to the
liquidation of the State debt and the
prompt payment of the interest OIL the
same as now adjusted by law.
Fourth. That the levee system of
the State is u necessity for the protec-
ton Of the lives and property Of our

STICK TO CONGRESS-.

The agitation of tho question .ot
dredging out bayou Lafourche is kept
up by the press. The Assumption
Pioneer comes out in its last issue with
the suggestion of a local plan for the
bayou's improvement. 1t proposes the
creation of Il board of commissioners
and the levy of Il tax on land and pro-
duce by the next legislature for the
Improvement and maintenance of the
navigation of the bayou at all seasons
OF course, the end to be achieved is
the acquisition of a perfect water
course the year round for the COM
merce Of the Lafourche valley; and. in
default OF other means, the plan sug-
gested by our confrere might he adopt
ell with advantage. But we consider
it a little premature and do not pro-
pose to discuss it at present. The
claims OF Il stream have been sub
mitted t, the House Committee on Riv-
ers and Harbors, and have there been
ably pressed by memorials, oral ar
guments and the public press. The
Pioneer itself has done its full share in
the way of urging the matter upOlr
Congress, and we think it will agree
with us that the matter ought to be
kept before that body as long as there
is a prospect for its favorable action.
To secure a favorable recognition
from Congress we must not only be
earnest and persistent in our endeavors,
but also united i'll our views. We can
not pullapart at this moment without
serious danger to our cause. AS we
have said before, the time was never
o opportuIe for pressing the claims
Of the bayou on Congress. Let us not
waste the opportunity by divorting the
attention Of our people. Let us all be
OF one mind and, as one man, continue
II vigorous knocking at the door of
Congress for assistance. The Federal
government owes us its aid and we are
but demanding our right. When the
last ray of hope from that direction
vanishes it viii then be time enough,
we think, to cast about for other ways
and means.
We therefore hope to see our con-
frere of the Pioneer suspend, for q time
at least, the advocacy of his new plan
for the improvement of the bayou.

veloped wealth and prosperity, and

This is praise, indeed! Truly, had
the convention been wholly composed
Of the friends of Gov. McEnery, he
could not have expected a higher or
justor tribute. And us il to acccntuate
the matter still more, the convention
has distinctly recognized his levee,
educational and agricultural policies,
and formally and expressly pledged
the Democracy to their maintenance,
fu~rtiierance and perpetuation. Thus
the Governor and his friends have
been fully justified and completely
vindicated by that very wing Of the
Democratic party which so lately bit
tel1y opposed them.
Indeed, as the Bienville A1rance, a
warm supporter of Gen. Nichols nom
nation, appropriately remarks, "Time
alone will demonstrate whether the
State convention has done a wise act
in refusing to seat the present Cover
nor for fOar years longer"

OUR

OF the head Of the ticket put forth
by the late Democratic Convention,
! we deem 1t useless to speak, for the
reason that he is very we'll known to
all OF our readers, and besides his mer-
its aud qualifications for the guberna-
torlal office have been enlarged rpon
to such an extent that it Would be Il
work Of surererogation on our part to
dilate further upon the matter.
The candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Hon. JAS. Jeffries, of Rapides.
is a planter but was educated for the
bar, and has always taken a promi-
nent position in the political history
OF the State, having been a member of
the State House of Representatives, Of
the Senate and Of the Constitutional
Convention. Mr.. Jetfries is a gentle
man of culture and refinement and
will bring to the discharge of the du-
ties of Lieutenant Governor every ac-
complishment and natural gift that
the exalted station demands.
Mr.. L. F. Mason, of Concordia, is the
nominee for Secretary of State, and is
well and favorably known in North
Louisiana, as Il lawyer of prominence.
The important position Of State
Treasurer has been assigned to Mr.. w.
H. Pipes, of East Fel;ciana, who is a
gentleman Of means, and engaged in
farming and connected with railroad
enterprises.
The Office of Attorney General
should be filled by an erudite and tho
roughly competent lawyer. The Con-
vention was especially fortunate in
selecting for this post, Judge Walter
H. Rogers, who has served more than
ereaitably i'll a judicial position in the
city OF New Glieaus, and who will fill
the Office of Attorney General, we
doubt not, to the satisfaction of the
gcoI people OF the State.
Hon. Q. L. steele, the present in
%cunlhent, a renominated for State
Auditor. II ~sufiices to say of Mr.
Steele. that he is " of the best A,;di-
tors tllat the State has ever had.
The candidate for Superintendent of
Education is Hon. JOS. A. Brcarx. of
Iberia. He is lawyer in active prac-
tice, and has always taken Il wara in
terest i'll the OF education. He
IS 4 gentleman Of means and It is ul-
derstood that he accepted The candi-
dacy for the State SUPPLEMENTARY
more with s view of promoting the
interests of education than from pecu
mary motives.
Thus, taken as q wllalr, we think
the ticket is a strong one which oaSht,
and no doubt will, command the full
Democratic vote of the State.

The Louisiana Farmer seems to ap-
prchend danger from the nomination
of State ticket by the Republicans.
We believe the Farmers fears to be
without foundation. Its advice to
Democrats, however, not to feel over
confident, is sound as we'll as timely
for over-confidence has ruined many a
good cause.

VIZ published in the local col

WE published in the local col
umns of the CAPITAL yesterday
an article showing what the
canning business is doing for
Roanoke and other places in Va,
in hopes that it might have some
good effect on our business commn-
nifty. In every instance where the
canning business has been establish
ed, it has proved a success, even on
the smallest scale. We were inform
ed by farmer in the Third district
who started cannery on a small
scale in an ontbuilding on bis farm,
a year or SO ago, for the purpose OF
putting up his own fruits. etc., as
the price received did not pay him
for shipping.
He indeed some of our grocery
men and private families to buy
small lots of his goods. Now he can
not supply the local demand. They
are put up with the greatest care
and are as near the natural state as
possible. He has since starting adj
ded twice to his establishment. he
says canning fruit and vegetables
pays better than any other crops.
An acre of tomatoes, he says, will
pay any farmer $500, which is more
than he can realize from any serial
crops.
There is two views to be taken OF
establishing the canning business
in this city. The benefit that the
farmer will derive from it, which is
benefit to the merchant; the benefit
that the employee will derive, which
also benefits the town. to say moth
ing of the money that it will put in
circulation. 1t is like the rolling
SNOWFALL, it increases in its velocity.
There is no telling what properly
conducted cannery would be to this
city. We hope our business men
will take this matter into considera-
ton, and endeavor before another
season rolls around to have a canning
establishment in our city. 1t will
pay, gentlemen; we mean it will pay
the city-it will pay everybody.
