only one way to cure deafness. and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is

this tube gets infamed you have a r1mbling

The Third Party.

It must be conceded that the rank
and file of the third party in Louis~
lana are at least sincere, though
they be misguided. The time for
Cancellation has come. During the
heated contest just closed, the spirit
of %animosity TO the Democratic creed
was maintained and aggravated by
men who fom ented discord and strife
for personal ends. The result Of
the late election has disclosed the
weakness Of the third party; that
the great masses of farmers in the
State have stood firm to the Demo-
cratic faith, and that as intelligent
men they will stand by the only
party that promises relief for their
burdens. The farmers as a class are
honest and sincere; they know little
Of the schemes Of designing politi.
clans; they want to do right, and as
a class are never wrong. With few
exceptions every farmer now claim
ing allegiance to the third party has
been misled by voluule takers. The
majority can be induced to return
to the Democratic party. where they
belong by right of Inheritance. The
same men can be induced to rally to
Democracy. As q Democrat the
Caucasian is interested in the return
of every Democrat Who has wander
ed from the fold.-C caucasian
