TRUST THE MASSES.

TIE primary election plan was pre- ferred and decided upon by the Democ- racy of St. Francis county for the rca son that it was considered to be the fairest and most satisfactory method of making the nominations. In this way every Democrat in the county has an opportunity of expressing his choice by ballot for the various county offices. There certainly can be no reasonable objections made against nominating a ticket in tlIis manner. The election is conducted exactly in the same way as general election, save ihat only known Democrats are allowed to vote. The candidate receiving the majority vote is the nominee. If the Democrats cannot select of themselves the best men for office from those who offer for the same, then the old saying that 'we can't trust the people" is verified. \ man assumes considerable wisdom to say that he will not vote in the prima- " election because hc Is afraid he will afterwards be expected to support some candidate other than the one he prefers.
 It has come to our ears that there are several men in the county who will not vote in the primary, on this account. We regret this matter. and hope such men may reconsider their resolve. and trust to the great masses to select the very best men who offer for the offices.
 II is one of the great principles of Democracy that n majority shall rule, and carrying out this principle, what ever is decided upon by the majority of the Democrats in selecting the county tickrt, should be heartily acquiesced m by the minority. It is impossible for one man to get his preference in every particular, and he who contends for such thing in convention or election and kicks out of the traces because he fails of success, can not be consistently recognized ,is genuine Democrat, and it is confidently expected that the Democracy of the county, looking at the matter in the light of lthe above facts, will stand firmly and solidly to- getber tlis year and not allow croak- CTS and disorganizers to swerve them from the path of lovaliiy to their party principles. Let every Democrat enter heartily into the primary election and when the ticket is nominated give 1t the full, entire and undivided vote of the party.

The uuion Labor party met in county convention, Monday, and nominated the following ticket; For clerk, ]. C Stern; for judge, W. II. Coffey; fol representative, Vim. Manning; foi sheriff, J. $. Fitch: fer assessor. F. \ McCullars; for treasurer, J. B. Wilson, for surveyor, $. R. Hammond; for coro- ner. J. F. ke.so.
 The Stern end is the best of 1t, and it is regretted that he has deserted the republicans in their effort to establish n better feeling among the people.
 All that is required to defeat this party of office seekers is a ticket made up from among the best Democrats and Republicans. and We are willing to trust to their judgment to do this.
 The convention consisted of about twenty-ive Union Labor men, to the best of our information, and was ''cut and dried in every sense of the ex. pression. yME TIMas came in for i,s share ot the .uttse, We understand, out the fellow who assailed us is of such 'small potatoes" that we did not in quire further than to learn his name We have heard 1t remarked that he should be ashamed to be seen after that harangue.
 The ticker is perhaps the best tha, could have been selected from their ranks, with the exception of Manning Mcknight, Iliggs, Crippen, or any of the rank and iilcwonld have added more strength to the ticket than Manning. However, Manning had threatened and they could not afford to lose him.
 Our prediction The Union Laboi county ticket will be defeated by nearly a thousand majority, by the Fair Di. ytls. T

At the last drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery thcr. .were two citizens oi Galveston who were fortunate enough each to win very handsome slices of one of the capital prizes. their tickets being frac- tiDnal parts of ticket No. %. POT which won SlO0. 900. the two winners securing aS their share of this amount g.. 500 each. One was Oscar Vim. Ekeluud, cabinet maker who resides at No. i59 Twenty seventh street, between Market and Post office, the other Geo. Weiss, . dciiyerer for Fox's bakery. Mir. Ekeiund being a former citizen ot New Orleans grew ur under the influence of The Louisiana State Lottery and for four or five years he in. vested regularly in the drawings there. and during the past eight years In Calves tuu he has slallicd with the leklc godsicSs regularly oncc . month. winning during that time sufficient approximations to whct his appetite. He believed in the old maxim about faint heart etc, and continued until finally rewarded. and thoagh he is now more than compensated for all his in- yestaent he says he intends to continue it as tho most profitable he has ever engaged in.
 Mr. George Weiss. the winner of the other xs. bOi, was . winner against his faith. He says he never had faith in iot- teries of any kind. and that the ticket he bought and won for him ss, atD was forced upon him.

.snkE pALs.or 'Axo A rAIn COUNT

The Union Labor party expects to win the coming contest by cry for "a free ballot and N fair count" The Re- publican bosses say they have inslorsesl Fizcr because he stands on the plat form of. "a free lMllot and a fair count ' Have you given the matter careful stusyy Have you discovered the in consistency and the deception
 The Democratic platform says, i,l the llth plank
 "We announce our firm and unalter- able adhcrancc to the doctrine of free and fair elections; and to this end we favor the enactment by the next gen rral assembly of an election law secur- ing to the voter secret ballot and the privilege Of casting his vote uninfl,- enced by party leaders, or the fear Ot social or political ostracism-thc prere- quisitc of q free ballot and fair count" being free and untrammelled vote
 And Section 1852 of the tlisgest, q Democratic law. says:
 Any election officer who shall frauiulently and corruptly permit any person to vote illegally, or refuse the vote of any qualified elector. cast up or make false return of said election, or any person who shall vote when not ;l qualified elector. or vote more than once. or bribe any one to vote contrary to his wishes, or intimidate or prevent any elector by threats. menace Or prom ises from voting, shall be guilty of q felony, and. upon conviction thereof shall bc imprisoned ill the penitentiary not less than five years"
 Now, if free and fair elections is the true cause and labor of either or both of these parties, why do they antago- nize party whose endeavors are in the same direction
 What does Powell Clayton and Poker Jack Mcclure care for "a free ballot and fair count ?" Did either of them ever make an cndeavor in this direc- tion when they were in power? Not much. On the contrary they disfran- chised whole counties. robbed, raped and murdered good citizens, and all fol the purpose of gratifying their selfish greed, and their appetitcs are burning now, as of old, to place the yoke of seryility upon the necks of .the white people and all negroes who oppose them.
 Office and power is tho underlying and only foundation of this so-called Union Labor party, backed by vicious republicans, and woe be unto you, m, reader. when the day dawns which vii place these men over us.

How IN the name of all that is good and true. r. X. McCullars can accept the nomination for assessor, from the Union Labor party, is a mystery to us The Democrats have honorcd him in the past, and have been disposed kindly toward him in the present. The Union Iaboritcs defeated him in 1888 with q negro candidate. and in that election he received the full democratic vote in fact ran ahead of the ticket. We are satisfied Pleas. McCullars is not willingly seeking to defeat the party that las shown him so many favors. There is yet time for him to decline this Judas Kiss, and preserve unto himself the esteem of lis democratic friends Otherwise he is lost forever, politically.
