Nomination Of the Democratic
Candidate for the Sixth Con-
SressiOmaI District.

Considerable speculation has
been INDUCED in respecting the
manner III which the democratic
candidate for the Sixth Congress
sional District is to be nominated /;
and not a few are fearful a little
1egerdemain will be practised to
defeat the will of the majority.
There is but one way which will
secure a fair and honest nomina-
ton. 1t is for white primaries in
all the parishes to select delegates
to a congressional convention
which shall meet at such time and
place as the democratic committee
may appoint. Let this convention
be governed by the majority rule.
Whoever, by such means shall se-
cure the nomination will be cer-
tain to be voted for by all good
Democrats. There wilI be no
ground for complaint. 1T will be
strictly in accordance with the es-
tablished usages of the party. Any
other course should be froWned
down.
It is currently reported that the
intention of the committee is to
order primary election directly
on the candidate for Congress, the
candidate receiving the pl,trazftu
of the votes to be the nominee. We
hope that the committee has no
such undemocratie scheme in con-
temptation. Such a nomination
would have no binding force upon
any Democrat Of the District, and
would at once provoke such oppo-
sition as to practically disorganize
the party.
Again such a plan would dis
pense with the holding of a district
convention. Does the present COM
mittee intend to perpetuate itself
in power? The democracy of the
district have the alienable right at
every Congressional election to
have a full, fair and free opportu-
nifty to re-organize their commit
tee, and they will submit to moth
ing less now. DEMOCRAT.

Now what about the Courier's

supporters of that paper, have a
right to ask these questions and
have them answered. Ii that pa

BASE BAIL.

BAYOU CHIcoT, Aug. p, 1894.
Score another victory for the
Champions.
The Pride of st. Landry, the G..
M. Thompson Hustlers OF Bayou
Chicot, defeated the Loyd's Bridge
team at Chicot last Sunday before
a large and interesting crowd.
Score ~ to 6, with one inning to
spare. The feature of the game
was a brilliant triple play in the
fourth. The. Loyd's boys had three
men on base and no outs, when
Mr.. Austin Wolff, Chieot's crack
catcher, purposely muffed third
strike at the bat, thus putting out
the man coming in from third,
and played the ball to third base
man, who in turn played to
second, and both put out their
men, and thus retired the side. It
was great play and won pro-
longed applause. Young Ed.
Wolff, the Star pitcher, played a
great game as usual, assisted by
Leon l.. Haas, who is rapidly COM
ing to the front. DIR. John A.
Haas, of Vile Platte, umpired the
game, and his impartial decisions
met with the approval of both
teams. The following is the score:
Innings 2 3 4 5 6789
Loyd's B'ge 90 / 0 @ 2 O. 6
Chieot 04 O. 3 5 8 Is -27
Umpire-Dr. Jno. A. Haas.
Scorers-H. L. Erlich and Lloyd
Compton.
Time-1 hour and 40 minutes.
The Opelousas Club seems to OPP
pose our claims to the champion
ship, and if another game will sat
isfy them, let them trot out their
warriors, the same team we played
before, and we can promise to up
hold our claims with enough ball
playing to gain another victory;
and although they claim two vic
tories to our one, it must be re-
membered that we have only play
ed them once with anything like a
team of ball-players, besides, it
takes only one game to decide the
superiority of a club. BASE BALL.
