trict, has spent several days with
us, and will remain until after the

which he has been nominated, he
comes from q family accustomed
to honors from our people, and
carries himself in q way that
makes him friends at every turn.
He expects to get about 1000 ma

the only parish in which he will
have any serious opposition, and
he can safely expect to hold his

Contrast.

Gov. McEnery, like q patriot
and q Democrat, is working for the
success of the Democratic ticket
to the utmost of his ability. ALI
good people of the State, irrespec-
tive of factions, applaud his course.
Unlike the patriotic Governor,
some of those who formerly stood
forth as the champions of his
cause in this parish, are strongly
suspected of giving encouragement
to the organization of the deluded
followers of Warmoth, apostles of
''radicalism and ruin"
Though they may succeed in OBJ
tanning the immediate object OF
their ambitions, all white men who
aid and abet in the attempt to re-
store radicalism in Louisiana will
ultimately meet just retribution in
the we'll deserved contempt and
scorn of their fellow citizens.
Any one with the true spark OF
manhood in his composition; who
esteems the welfare Of his country,
the peace and prosperity of his
fellows and the salvation of his
State from the deadly grasp of rad
icalism above personal aggrandise-
ment will spurn with contempt all
offers of assistance that come
freighted with implied or expressed
conditions imperiling the liberty
of the people of Louisiana
We sincerely trust that every
patriotic citizen, white or black,
will stand out for the maintenance
of the political and civil liberty Of
the people through the supremacy
of the Democratic party, and that
every candidate who by word or
act encourages radical organization
will meet ignominious defeat at the
polls and the contempt of all hon.
est men in all associations of life.

N. u f1cayunesJ
No true and sensible Democrat
will deny the paramount impor-
lance Of maintaining the State and
parochial organization of his par
ty. The parochial organizations
are the units that make up the sum
of the State organization. To de-
stroy the former would be, there
fore, to obliterate the latter. This
proposition is 80 clear and simple
that it does not require an elabo-
rate demonstration; it will be ad-
mitted without debate.
1t is true that the organization
of the party in any given parish
might become indispensable, and
the same thing may be said of the
party as a whole. But this posi-
bility cannot be urged in reply to
the fundamental necessity of party
organization to party existence.
=
The necessity of maintaining in
tact the whole body of the Louisi-
ana Democracy, through it's several
parochial organizations-the only
means by which it can be main
tained-was never more apparent
or more keenly felt than at this
particular juncture. The feeling
is that it would be dangerous to re-
duce the party to an NEGOTIATE con-
dition by abandoning its thorough
system of organization and by ig-
noring the agencies through which
it acts and maintains its unity.
Elaborate efforts have been made
to show that there is no danger of
q Republican victory either in the
city OF In the State, but such q re-
suit would be 90 appalling from ev-
cry point OF view that prudent mon
are indisposed to take the slightest
risk. The danger Is not
to be laughed away; it must be
met by Q well organized and per-
fectly harmonious Democracy, =
This is assuredly not a time
for division upon immaterial or
slight grounds It is rather a time
for ibarality, magnanimity and
