as equally spurious with the former.
We are Democrats and are prepared
to face the world with our flag. These
Puritans cry out against our Democ.
racy. We have had these people with
rs as far as the memory goes back.
There has been always small class
of good men who assert that they are
better than their neighbors-a class
of men like the Publican of old,
"thank God they are not as other men
are" They offer a heacnn light {"
the guidance of the Democracy OF our
country, their motto heing rule or ruin,
follow me OF YOU shall surely die.
This class of men are not new to us,
my friends; they are rs old as the
politics of this State. they stand ou,
as stink -potsi upon the public
highway Of every political party Of
this country, always ready to force
their Puritanical th"nghts upon their
fellow men. Sometimes they call
themselves Reformers, a, other times
Ants I; at the North they call them
selves Mngwumps. We call them
scalawags. | for one am not prePar
ed to surrender myself wholly into the
hands of these politicl pirates, and ]
am certain that nine tenths Of the Dem.
ocrats Of this ward will endorse the
assertion, that We are here for the pur-
pose of sustaining the results obtained
at q primary election soon to he held
| 1t is known of all men of this vicinity
that the members Of this club are
about equa ly divided as to the lottery
amendment. 1t il also believed th"'
~e haven, y single man that is 81
pure in his political th"nght that h.
would destroy the supremacy Of tt'
white man in this country to win o'
lose the lottery amendment. We haf
hut one of this class aud he has lef
rs. When man commits an error
political or otherwise, that though
that is worse than the error tells hi,,
that be must hunt justification in tl'
minds Of his fellowman; hence the az
peal of these men to the public prints
We are here for but one purpose
aud that is to sustain, as far as posi-
BILE, in all of its purity that Democr'
cy that has protected the people oftb'
r South for twenty-five long and wear.

e 1t has been said h. some Of these pee

fact, aud We will have them under

Now, my friends, in conclusion |,
G rs ask every Democrat of Lamouri
a Ward, of Rapides Parish and I'll
State of Louisiana, to 60 to the prim.
y ries and cast his vote for an homes
