there is some opposition to voting a

q good majority in favor of the

that no better or stronger man could

evidence of his popularity, his tri.

Endorsed by both parties he polled

The Democratic press of North
Louisiana are now agitating a ques.
ton which we several years ago
predicted would prove Ga apple OF
discord. That is, white supremacy
in Democratic conventions. No re.
presentation based on the negro
vote. If the negro can be induced
to vote the Democratic nominee,
we'll and good; but let white men,
and only white men, determine who
shall be the nominee. The idea of
a handful of white men, backed up
by a fraudulent inflated negro vote,
having a larger vote and control in
conventions than thousands Of white
Democrats from three or four par
ishes, is o crime and an outrage upon
the rights Of the Democrats of white
parishes which they will nc longer
tolerate. Give us white supremacy
and white Democracy.

Rarly spring is the carnival time for the
canine displays and it is very noticeable
that of late years, the status of dog shows has
been greatly elevated. It is not so very long
ago that a lady considered very seriously the
advisability of visiting place, which in her
opinion was of questionable reputation.
It is, however, no longer considered de-
rogatory for a lady or gentleman of the very
best society to enter and exhibit at dog
shows.
The last dog show of the season is that to
be given by the Philadelphia Kennel Club,

The President has had several names sug-
gested to him by important political infiu-
ences for the mission to China. He realizes
that it will require a person of peculiar
abilities to meet the demands of the impor-
tant negotiations which he has in view to
settle the Chinese question. The name Of
General James H. Wilson of Delaware is fav-
orably mentioned in connection with this
mission. General Wilson has travelled in
many portions of the Chinese Empire, some
of his tours having been made under the
auspices of an imperial permit. He has also
written work on China, which is regarded
as giving the most ineligible idea of the
country, its people and its development that
has yet been issued General Wilson is a
graduate of West Point and served during the
war as engineer on the stats of Generals Nc
Pherson, Sherman and Grant.

tance politically. 1t is known that the cleo
ton of Senator Higgins represented the for

of the state. Therefore, it is the intention of
the administration to strengthen the hands
of the new senator as much as possible in
his efforts to overcome the family domina-
tion which has Tepressed the progressive
element in state politics and industry.
Delaware is in position to receive ample re-
cognition from the President in his policy of
of organizing the Republican party of the
