OUR CHOICE
For the 3rd Congressional
District
Hon. Andrew Price
OF LAFOURCHE.
HON. PRICE.
OF LAFOURCHE.

After a pleasant sojOurn at S,rato-
ga since the adjournment of Congress.
Congressman Price together with Mrs,
Price returned to Louisiana on last
Monday. After stopping in the Cres-
cent City fora few days at the Hotel
Royal, they are expected to reach
their home on Acadia plantation neai
T~hibOdaux on to-day to the great de-
light of their many friends and admir-
ers.
1t was not known whether Mr.. Price
would consent to have his naule come
before the Sd Congressional Nomina-
ting Convention which meets in IInu-
ma on next Wednesday October 8. :
it was feared by many Of his admiring
friends that he wonld not run AGAIN
on account of his personal business An
had already been intinated.
Under the present condition of
Things. ana at the earnest solicitation,
OF hts many friends and the Democrat
ic leaders of the Sd Congressional
Dlstrlct, Mr. Price has, however. con
sented to stand for re election. proyi
ded the nomination be rendered him.
In this he need have no fear. All the
parishes or nearly all composing the
I'D Congressional have elected their
delegates, and every delegation has
been instructed to cast it's vote for the
Hon. Andrew Price.
MIR. Price is not seeking the office.
for he has made no effort, and will
make none to secure the nomination ::
but he does not see his way clear to
refuse to make the " when the
demand is made upon him by the
Democratic people who has thrice
lionOred him with a seat in the House
of Representatives.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Price
will again be the unanimous choice of
the District he has so well aud faith
fully represented, and the knowledge
that he will make the race will at
once lnfuse new life into the campaign.
The people of the Sd District will have
the opportunity of choosing between
two sugar planters. one a Democrat.
the other a Republican. We predict
the election of Mr.. Price by a large
majority.

call upon them to consider we'll the steps
they are about to take before they commit
themselves irretrievaoly to Il course which
they may soon regret.
"ReSOlved, That we reaffirm our adher-
ence in the good Democratic doctrine of
tariff for revenue with incidental protec-
ton, and inasmuch as sugar is one of the
best products for a revenue tariff, we call
on the national Democracy TO giveus justice
and save our industry by affording us the
incidental protection to which it is justly
entitled.
"Resolved, That we are of opinion that
the bounty for this year is justly due the su-
gar planters, and we firmly believe when
the business and equity of the sugar plant
ers' cause is brought to the attention of
Congress in December that Congress Will
not hesitate to allow that duty.
"Resolyed, That w declare our conf
dence in the administration OF President
Cleveland and thank hin for the stand he
has taken on sugar, and we believe in his
sincerity and that he will continue to exert
his great influence in behalf of sugar"
