Ihe slick politicians who are urging the
negroes to vote, are not doing SO on ac-
count OF any love they have for the
negro. They want to make tools out of

much trouble they get the negroes into.

themselves to he made tools and fools of

The Courier has no use whatever for
such men. They are enemies to the

The Vote in the Primary.

The magnificent vote polled in this
parish in the primary last Saturday is
but anothes indication Of the fact that
old st. Landry is still true to the noble
traditions Of the past, aud that in April
her gallant sons will roll up a handsome
majority for the State ticket and the
perpetuation of Democratic government
aud white rule. 10 view Of the fact that
there were no contests except for ward
officers the vote is remarkable one, ex-
ceeding even our most sanguine esti

personal reasons will vote all right on

The Gazette sincerely hopes that the
white people of VernliIion and st. Ian

the negroes to keep away from politics.
If the negro is let alone he will follow
the advice Of the best element Of whites

editor of this paper, we wish now to end
all newspaper controversy with W. w.
DusOr, and, by way of apology to our
readers for obtruding personalities into
our editorial columns, to remind them
that the Signal was the aggressor by its
personal attack in reply to criticism of
its political course by this paper.
As said Duson is careful to give not

there is but one alternative left, and
that is to denounce him as liar, SLAM
