STRICTLY VEGETABLE.
A Good Suggestion.

The following letter contains an
excellent suggestions
80 the Ed,er of The Times Democrat:
81 do not think that the wives and
sisters of the Y. A. ID. A. can thank
you enough for the vivid interest you
have taken in their behalf But one
thing think you ought to do and
that is to publish the names of all
the men, young and old, who were
on the police squad yesterday, and
the volunteers who were at the
Washington Artillery. They would
have laid down their lives for the city
if need be, and too much praise can
not be given them. The crowds of
cowarlly men who went over the
Lake yesterday to avoid voting on
account of anticipated trouble should
be exposed. They don't deserve the
name of men.
An ENTHUSIASTIC SISTER
1t will afford us pleasure to print
the names of all the parties referred
to, as they did their duty nobly, and
deserve the gratitude and admiration
of the people in whose behalf-with
rare and unselfish devotion and with
out hope Of reward-they gave their
time and risked their lives.
We propose to print full list Of
al the gentlemen who organized the
Young Mems Democratic Association
and all those who served in squads at
the polls or at headquarters during
this entire contest with the organized
and powerful forces Of the Ring
against the public welfare.-Times-

It might an we'll be understood,
once for all, that Louisiana Demo-
Gratis have never failed, and never
will fail to unite when Radicalism
confronts them.-Bossier Banner.
You are right neighbor, especially
when it comes to the McEnsry Dem
ocrats to do the uniting. Our party
is united and let us try to keep in
that way and vote the Democratic
ticket at all hazards.

The gentleman for whom Denver,
Col, WAS named, is still alive and in
robust health, and Denver is city
OF 100000 Inhabitants. Denver is
IN example of how rapidly cities
build up out west.-Caligraph.
And Denver and other growing
cities owe their prosperity to q
liberal policy toward railroads. No
citizen in Denver ever opposed a
railroad on the plea that it would
ruin property and damage the streets
through which their tracks are laid.
Times.
Yet we find people opposed to
railroads in this country.

In accepting the nomination Gen

the opposition in IA spirit of accord
1t WAS thea and is now the earnest
desire Of General Nichols to heal all
di-sensions in the party, and make i,
thoroughly representative OF the whole

wss pursued 10 making up the State
ticket. and General Nichols has given
every assurance that be will eDdeavor

elected is of excellent material. The

representative one and we feel assured

How is It chat our esteemed con-
tempories of Shreveport get the
water report different from the
Vicksburg Herald? On Tuesday We
were all anxious to get the latest.
When the train came iu from Shreve-
porn We were sadly disappointed.
Expected to see a decline in the
river at Vicksburg and instead they
reported fourteenth rise, but when
the Herald came it reported two
tenth rise. 1t is not the mistake of
the printer for both the Democrat
and Times had it the same way.
