Address to the Democracy.

The Demuclutic National Committee
has Issued the following address:
To the people OF the United States:
The Democratic National Committee
coDgratulates the country on the result
OF the recent State elections IN Maine,
Vermont and Arkansas.
In Arkansas the combined opposition,
after so many extrayagant claims, tell
short by over 10000 OF tic vote of the
Democracy alone. ibis has brought
dismay to the combinations in the South
and their manipuators in the North.
In Maine and Vermont the contest
vas conducted distinctly Oh National
issues. The Republican managers ap-
peaIed for votes ill these States on the
ground that the size of the plurality
would exert a great moral Influence on
the other States,' and that the poll
would be practically our vote for Pres
ident." Similar appeals summoned to
their aid all the potent resources of
their national organization, with its ex-
equipment of orators of national fame.
With every fa7oring force at their
command except public opinion, with
10 organization opposed, save those
made up within the States by minority
party which has been out of power for
a generation, and which was uuaided
from without, the campaign of our ad
versaries for a triumphant test vote in
these States, so carefully planned and
80 thoroughly and forcefully executed,
has ended in conspicuous disaster.
Our friends everywhere are entitled
to take fresh courage from these re-
suits. They mean that the strong ten
dency OF public sentiment is with The
Democratic party, aud that the people
OF the country are prepared to enforce
rather than reserve the verdict which
they rendered in 1890.
WIN I. HARTITY,
Chairman
DON VI. DICKINSON,
Chairman Camnaipn Committee

Our friends must not be carried away nor
misled by the action OF the sixth congressional
rnnycntion in seating EstUrge delegates, into
tho belief that this settles the question Of their
continued existeuce,"-st Landry Clarion.
Whose "coutinued existence Its
Z. friends'', or the Est0rge dele
gates'H? !? The existence OF its friends
can not possibly be affected 10 any way,
and as to the delegates they were elect
ed 10 perfolm certain functions, they
did perform them, and i'll the nature OF
things their existence is ended. Assum-
ing that the Estorge committee was re.
ferred to by this able aud lucid writer,
we may assure him that his fears are uu-
founded, for the more intelligent among
his frieuds were fully posted Oh that
nuiut two weeks ago when we said
Z" We assume that pursuant TO the
terms of the l,armenjziug agreement
adopted by the last State convention, d

In the Democratic primaries held last
Saturday in the fourth congressional
district, Congressman Blanchard was
renominated, and will OF course be re-
elected. This will be his seventh term.
Hon. Z. 6. Hunter, OF Rapides, was his
opponent in the primaries, aud Col. T..
j. Guice, Peoples party candidate, and
Republican candidate not yet named
will be his opponents in November.

The Clarion says Chairman Swords
- rose upon the report OF the committee
OH credentials seating both st. Landry
delegations OH a half vote, and present
Cd the following protest." &c. But the
report got the better OF the chairman,
after all, for, even il he did rise upon it,
the report fiattened him out and squelch-
ed all of his arrogant pretcnsions-bar-
ring the foolish and ridiculous claim
that his committee WAS "the Democratic

of Locomotive Firemrn.


CiNCINNArI,O o.. Sept. l1.-T'hr Brother
hood Of Locomotive Fircmcn have
adopted n series of resolutions of Which
the following are the most important
The action Of the Philadelphia g.
Reading railroad in demanding the
withdrawal from labor ORGANIZATIONS of
its employees is not onlyan unwarrantod
attack upon luboring mon, but thrust
at the very life of American institutions.
When corporations shall have the
power TO abrogGte the personal liberty
of our citizens, then the disintrgeration
of our grand republic Is at hand.
We earnestly protest against the use
of military power Of the several states
aud of the nation by corporations to
further their interests when the eNi-
gcncics Of the occasion do not demand
IL. When the military are detailed to
take the place of strikers, performing
other than military duties, they disgrace
the flag of the nation.
The power now held by corporations
to employ, arm and equip armies of
mercenarIes to assist worl;ingmen will,
if not checked, precipitutG conflicts
which will endangerthe perpctuation of
the republic.
We declare the Is. of L. L. to be Il
non-scctional, non-sectarinn and nom
political organization, and dccry the
effort of any individual to bring re.
ligious or political questions into the
order.
The other resolutions send greetings
to all organized labor; favor a fedora.
ton of railway unions; declare friendship
to all; disappr0ve of convict labor in
competition with honest labor.
