A National Event.

The holding of the Worlds Fair in
city scarcely fifty years old will be re-
markable event, but whether it will real
ly benefit this nation as much as the dis
covery Of the Restorative Nervine by DR..
Franklin Miles is do,btfdl. This is just
what the American people need to cure
their excessive nervousness, dyspepsia,
headache; dizziness, sleeplessness, neu-
ralgia, nervous debility, dullness, confu-
sion of mind, etc. It acts like charm.

The Texas Supreme Court has
declared the alien land law unconsti-
tutional. This decision is hailed with
general satisfaction. The law pre-
vented foreigners from holding titles
to lands in Texas, and consequently
it had the effect of driving all foreign
capital out of the Stale. Any loan
company having single foreigner as
a stock holder was deprived from TAX.
ing real estate security for loans, and
this resulted in all such companies
calling in their money, thus causing q
general financial panic in the State
II Exchange.

HDoRs. McESERy CAMPAIGN Con-, }
Oct. II, 1891. !
To the Democracy of Louisiana:
At meeting of the Democrats from
the different Parishes of the State of Lou
isiana assembled at Grunewald Hall, on
October 18th, 1891, it was determined
that the periIs that beset the party abso
lutely demanded the exercise of the ut
most forbearance and consideration upon
the part of all good Democrats in the
meeting of the State Central Committee,
that was then about to convene, and they
SO recommended:
1t was also determined that the pec,,-
liar situation in Democratic politics in
this State, brought about by what is
known as the Lafayette combine, where
by the nomination of Governor, State
Treasurer and Superintendent Of Public
Education, as we'll as the temporary
craftsmanship of the State Nominating
Convention was attempted to be bartered
away, necessitated departure from the
|stime- honored custom of refraining from
the naming of candidates prior to the as
tsembling Of the State Nominating Con-
||ention. After consultation the Demo-
Gratis present believing the permanency
of the Democratic party and the welfare
of the people of the State of Louisiana
absolutely demanded the selection of a
tried and true Democrat as the nominee

ocrats the selection for the position of
Emery, of Ouachita.
In furtherance of that desire to pre-
serve the purity and integrity of the De-
mocratic party by the election of a man
for Governor who Is untainted with any
of the political heresies now being urged
upon the agricultural classes Of the
Southern States by designing and un.
scrupulous politicians who are without
faith in the schemes that they propose
the Democrats then and there assembled
selected this campaign committee and
entrusted to it the duty Of preparing 9
suitable address to the Democratic voters
of the State of Louisiana.
/ Without any desire to reflect upon any
member of the State Central Committed
we are compelled to express our deep re
greet at the failure of that committee tt
provide for primary election by tn,
white people of the State, whereby set
Element might have been had Of the dis
turbing and perplexing question know
as the ''revenue amendment" which wa
submitted to the people at the session Q

wise and disastrous to the welfare Of tn
Democratic party that voters opinion
, upon the revenue question should b
made test of his Democracy or fitness o
qualification of holding office. We lie

lutely demands that the Democratic pal
