Exchanges" took place.
Being situated near the bounda-
ries Of Lafayette and Vermilion, we
are somewhat posted on the polit,
ical doings Of the latter parish.
Unless an eye witness, no one has
the slightest conception of how
''hot" things are over there. But
candidates for sheriff, IS for as
SCISSOR, 3 for clerk, and dozens for
minor offices, our readers may form
an idea of how, ''mixed" matters
stand.

The aspirant to political honcrs
in this parish must stand by his col
ors. IT Democrat, let him abide
the teaching: and doctrines of De
mocracy. If Republican, let him
say 81, dAu plosS
ance to Republicanism. No more
of the "ready for use" fellow who
sacrifices party for "pap." Is there
a Democratic party in Lafayette
and what constitutes it3 1t cannot
be the side-show, sectional, dissat-
isfed, conglomerated hatred Of
limited fewl 1t cannot be the po-
litical mixture of all parties whose
late termination has caused SO
much comment 1t cannot be the
followers of some cone" whose
party convictions are based as bar
gains at counter auction! These,
fellow-voters, sift and find out that
Democratic party, and after it has
been found, support it with your
words and your ballot. ''Chero-
kee" entertains the highest regards
for the man whose allegiance to his
party be true, whether he be Il
Democrat, Republican or Populist
the matter cuts no figure. But oh
such a difference between that man
and the s'individual" who straddles
the rail awaiting a fresher fall of
mamma Between that man and
the fellow who trains his ear and
answers every blow of the whistle
Between that man aud the 'tone"
who sacrifices his party through the
influence of others begging for
office The difference is vast vast
