REpusLIcAN oppoRruNITY.

The time has come for an aggres-
sive movement on the part of the re-
publicans of this state. 1t is the
rank est party cowsrdice to say that II
is no use. The republicans In Texas
are fully 10000 strong and under
favorable auspices will poll at least
four fifths OF that strength. To say
that q party that can poll 120, 900
| votes has no chance in this state now
that the democracy have virtually
three tickets in the field is all neon
shine. The republican convention Is
called to meet at Fort Worth next
month, and every republican in the
state should be represented there.
Clean the slate of old scores and let
the party come together in it's entirety
and make up it's ticket, selecting its
standard bearers from all parts of the
state, representing all shades of opip-
ions as to local and state politics,
careful only to make first class NOM
nations and there will be good
fighting chance for republicans.
There have been enough gratuitious
insults heaped in the course of
proceedings at Houston to make
all true republicans hot enough
to fuse all their differences
and come together as one. 1t
is infinitely better to fight the COM
mon enemy than to continue TO fight
each other. The divided democracy
bank on a divided republicanism in
the state, to aid one or the other wing
to q victory, which achieved will
leave the republicans in no better
condition than they are today, the
desplsed of the arrogant democracy.
Let the different and estranged fac
lions in the repub lican party come
together in the county conven tions
and send up represep tation to Fort
Worth that will command the con-
fidence of the state, and it will put
a different face on affairs. There ale
no questions of party policy that d.
vide the republicans of this state
and it should not be in the power of
a few men, for personal ends, to keep
the party in the state at low ebb |
in order that they may control. There
is no man in Texas that begins to be
as big as the republican party, and
these who serve self In the name of
the party can be sent to the rear, If
the par ty determine so to do. The re.
publican party, In this as in much
else, is not like the democracy. The
declarations of that party mean any
thing or nothing, and there may be
half dozen democratic parties, each |
with its own ticket In the field. This
is not possible for republicans, whose
position on all questions of public |
policy are strictly defined. thus rem
dering two parties an aosurdity. Let |
the men who at Dallas put out |
ticket come to Fort Worth, let them |
state the grievance they have. and
unite with the rest Of the party In the |
state in correcting whatever abuses |
exist. They will be met half way,
accorded full share In the proceed |
ings of the convention, given a fair
representation on it's committees and
on its ticket, and in every way treat
ed as true and tried republicans.
The time has come for unity among
repu Slicans, and it is unwise to aban-
don the idea Of carrying the state in
the face of the supreme opportunity
offered by the divisions of the demo-
cracy.

Our New Judge.
t. Landry Democrat,


The DEMOCRAT feels peculiar graft
fication over the election of William
Charles Perrault for Judge of this dis
trict. He is the nephew of the editor of
this paper, beneath whose roof he grew
from bnyhood to manhood, and at whose
fireside the first holy teachings of his
absent and widowed mother were supple
mented in an humble way by both pre-
cept and example. Under our eyes his
remarkably bright mind was unfolded
and developed until, having reached
manhood's estate and he went forth able
to stand alone, the brilliant possibili-
ties that lay before him were in full
view. He received the earnest
and hearty support of large ma
jority of his colleagues at the bar, and
of majority of probably over six hun
dred of his fellow citizens of the dis
trict, whose confidence we are assured
will be fully justified by an able and
impartial discharge of the duties of the
highly important Office to which he has
been elevated under such flattering
auspices. =.
We are confident that he will fill his
eminent position with dignity and i'm
partiality, hold high the scales of JUS
| tice, and will ever hew to the line, lei
the chips fall where they may"

Scarcely any news of reliable char
acter about the election has been re-
ceived, as we 60 to press, save from
the city, where every thing passed oil
quietly Hon. John Fitzpatrick and
the rest of the regular Democratic city
ticket, generally, were elected by a
decisive majority. The McEnery State
ticket also carried the city by fine
majority.
The Foster headquarters were en-
abled to furnish news from the parishes
almost simultaneously with the hour
of the closure of the polls,
Thirty thousand majority is the
figure that the operators of the Foster
election machine has given ont. L

the quietest and at the same time tht
most peculiar that was ever held II
this or any other State. Not a single
serious dstur bance was reported eithe
in the city or in the country. III
popularity of the election rests in tn
fact that the majority for Foster dl'
not come out of the ballot boxes bu
was made up by his managers in thi
city and the figures were flashed o.
the bulletin boards long before it wa
possible to get word of informatio
from the country parishes. AS tn
McEnery ticket was denied represen

parishes, it will be an easy matter fo
the Foster commissioners to make th

The Election.

The election in our parish was a
quiet and peaceable one, without a sin.
gle disturbance anywhere that we have
learned. UP to Thursday evening the
result as to some of the parish and dis
trict officers was still in doubt, so close
was the vote for district attorney.
sheriff, senators and representatives,
but the returns from the distant pre-
cincts having come in, we are enabled
to give the total vote in the parish,
which will be found in another column.
Five polls have not been returned
but there seems to be no donbt that
stagg, Pulford and Dupr6 are elected
to the legislature.
The news received from the parish
of Acadia leave no doubt of the cleo,
tion of the following candidates foI
district Offices:
District Judge, W. C. Perrault
District Attorney. E. B. Dubuisson
Senators, d. B. Hayes and Gus. E.
Fontenot.
In another column will be found
extracts from the press of New Or.
leans on the city and state elections.
1t is to be hoped that we will now
have rest on politics-that all fac,
tional dissentions will be forgotten, and
all join hands in working out the
material advancement of our town
parish and State. If one-half the
energy is displayed in building up oul
town and parish that has been expend-
ed in politics, Opelousas and st. Ian.
