At half past seven IN tho evening, TO
the sonorous sounds Of Baby Ruth's olo-
quenee aud blaze Of pyroteehnics, the
meeting was opened, The platform Ind
been transported from the grove and
erected in the rear Of the court house,
Two thousand people ficed the rostrum,
many of them being ladies, and Chairman
shattnck opened the meeting with q
brief address.
In fitting words, Mr.. shattuek pre-
sented the Hon, Robt. Snyder Of Tensas
parish
Mr.. Snyder spoke of the earnest and
hearty response which had been made to
MI the calls upon him by the democratic
party.
On the 10Th Of October the members
Of his parish met and nominated q repre-
sentative, Among resolutions was one
pertaining to the affairs Of the members
Of the third district. 1t referred to those
renegade planters,
The response was earnest, prompt and
sincere. The people of his district
charged him to say they would help and
were always at the command Of the
third district people. He would devote
himself TO the industrial and social
phase Of the problem he was called upon
to discnss,
The wealth and climatic phases Of
Louisiana were phenomenal. But We're
we sufficiently appreeiatiYe Of these
priyilegesG There was darker side,
however The sugar and cotton interests
frequently elashed, The white and me-
gro race were at variance, In '6S the
decree to annihilate white supremacy
was promulgated, 70 discuss intelli-
gently--eope with those guestionsi II
was necessary to have patriotism and
the people mnst stand shoulder to
shoulder. Going back 20 years to 1865,
whaU was the condition. Louisiana was
In the tolls.
Here Mr., Snyder drew q beautiful and
pathetic picture Of the war and how all
this devastation had sinee been builded
mp, When legislation gave the negro
the ballot, republican tyranny clinehed
the state. The republicans were in
power and all their lnfamies were har-
bored by the federal government. For
ten years Louisiana was bowed IN shame.
This was borne with until endurance
ceased 10 bea virtue. On September IA,
1874, was struck the first blow at New
Orleans, Through to Tensas and bonnd-
ing the river, freedomswept on victorious.
The state debt at the end Of republican
rnle was s40,O00,0O0, The cost was the
blood Of many good citizens, aud q
marble shaft at New Orleans bore the
nnmoFy Of this. All this blood was shed
that Louisiana take her place where she
belonged IN the Union.
The ground was carefully gone over
until this year, and the young speaker
showed that during all thai time the
whites and blacks were distinctly apart,
But once more Louisiana Is confronted
BY the enemy which brought SO much
suffering, There can DO no difference IN
opinion of white men, II the district
goes republican II means negro domina-
tion
The capture of three districts viii
mean the extension to the other dis
