Elsewhere We publish the total
Congressional Primary vote of Bos-
sier parish polled Saturday. twill
be seen that Mr.. Ogden has received
a majority of 135 over his competi-
tors in this parish. In the District
his plurality is about 1900.
We have not been able to get the
complete returns from the District,
up to the hour of going to press, but
will give the official vote in our next
issue.
Mr.. Ogden is undoubtedly the
nominee of the Democracy of the
District, and we only await the Off
cial declaration of the Executive
Committee to declare him as such.
He will be elected by an overwhelm.
ing majority. If the Populists think
they will catch the Democrats in the
Fourth District mapping, they are
badly mistaken. The nomination
has been made, and the Democrats
of the District will do their duty on
the Oath, as they have always done
Mr.. Ogden's nomination is equiva
lent to an election. He can safely
get ready to check his baggage fol
Washington. Bossier will give hin
1900 or 1000 majority.

PLAIN DEALING, LA, APRIL 10, 1894
As the representative of the nao.
pie of Bossier in the General Assem-
bly,, soon to convene in Baton Rouo.
I confess that it is my greatest am.
bition to represent my constituents.
intelligibly, faithfully and honestly
and in all my actions to cast the VOTE
of Bossier for the best ipteres, :.
and to carry out the will of tba
whole people,
AS there seems to be some diaa,
ence OF opinion among the people 90
to the choice of Bossier as to who
would be suitable man to fill tbo
place in the United States Senate
made vacant by the resignation of
the Hon. E. D. White, wish to saw
that personally I am inclined to
favor confirmation of the appoint.
ment of Hon. N. G. Blanchard. now
so ably filling the place. I favor
Mr.. Blanchard for the reason that T
consider him an able and proficient
man, and has always voted in Con-
gress directly in line with the d.
mands of the people, and especially
so on the following important cues,
tions: Free coinage of silver, Anti.
option bill, Tariff for Revenue oplv
Income tax against National banks,
and ever since going into the Senate
he has shown his allegiance to the
people and his party by voting for
the Bland seignorage bill. which,
alas, has been returned to the House
accompanied by the veto message Of
the President.
Notwithstanding all this hereby
announce my willingness to yield my
individual preferences and would
not cast the vote of Bossier (not
mine) for him or any other person
though it should be my nearest and
dearest relations or friend, unless it
were possible for me to conceive that
by so doing I would vote to the
interests of and carry out the will of
my constituents and receive their
full approval.
Now, as the time is near at hand
when I shall be called upon to cast
the vote of this parish (which is
yours, and not mine), for United
States Senator, I very respectfully
ask for and assure you I would high
ly appreciate an expression of opin-
ion from every constituent, either
through the press or otherwise.
I wish to remind the people that
it is their duty to acquaint their rep
resentative with their needs, wants
and views on all important questions.
They should not do him the injus-
tice to wait until he has acted, doing
the best perhaps he could and when
it is too late, interpose objections
find fault, and read the riot act in
disapproval. All should bear il
mind that a public servant without
instructions must act upon his owl
| judgment as to what he deems right
and best for those he represents.
Assuring you that ] would be glat
to hear from you on his or any othe
question or matter that may likel.
or should come up at the approach
ing session of the Legislature, whicl
convenes on the 14th of May, 1894
Very truly yours,
