THE OPPOSITION.

Last Sunday the other faction
of the Democrats of this parish
held meeting at Breaux Bridge,
and have selected a ticket to make
the fight in this parish for local
Offices.
The ticket which is composed of
A. D. Roy, candidate for Sheriff,
A. F. Domengeaux, for Clerk of
Court and Chas. S. Babin, Jr., for
Representative. is good one. We
believe the gentlemen composing
this ticket are all honest, honora-
BILE, and intelligent citizens, wor-
thy of the support of their people.
If the candidates on this ticket
make good hard fight they may
have a fair chance of getting in,
but they should not put it in their
heads that they will go in on their
own merits; what they will have to
do, is to take the field and meet
the opposition, speech for speech,
gumbo for gumbo and whiskey fol-
whiskey. The struggle will be a
hard and bitter one, and success
for either side, will depend on the
work that will be done from now
to the day of the election.

Are They Democrats?

It is a matter of current report
that postulants for local Offices at
the hands of the democratic masses,
have determined to antagonize one
of the planks of the democratic
platform recently adopted by the
representatives of the party in con-
vention assembled. They propose,
it is said, to go out of the party
lines to fight the proposed suffrage
amendment, because their support
of this democratic measure might
lose them the votes of few lille
terate white voters. It, then, ap-
pears plain that these people place
public pap, above party fealty;
that they are only using the livery
of democracy to subserve personal,
and we might add, selfish end;
that so long as they hold "lead
pipe cinch" ON the public that,
the party can 60 the denim ition
bow-wows. And yet they call
themselves democrats. 1t is mere
ly using a word in one sense in the
premises and in another sense in
the conclusion, and is but the Jug
gle of sophistry, because, as SO
good a democratic authority rs
the States, says, 1.-The suffrage
amendment is a Democratic mea-
sure, proposed by a democratic
committee of the state convention
and embodied in the democratic
state platform. 1t is the doctrine
of the democratic party; it is The
edict of the law, and the prophets
of the party. No Democrat, then,
can vote against it. Democrats
must support it, and leave it to
the negroes and populists to fight
it." This, let it be bourne in
mind, is from a source that its
right to speak on democratic prin-
ciples and doctrines, cannot be
questioned or impugned. Refer
ring to this same question, the
Opelousas Courier, paper which
has been fighting the battles of
Democracy for forty years, through
the dark days as well as through
the brightest days, notes that any
man who desires to elevate the
tone of public morality by making
honest elections possible should
vote for the amendment, and adds,
"the lines are clearly drawn"
From enlightened men who place
their country's welfare above mere
selfish interests be they, Democrats
or Republicans-there should be,
there can be, but one answer" and,
that is, to vote for the amendment.
While fighting this Democratic
measure, they are proclaiming,
from the house tops, that they are
Democrats, and they are Demo-
Gratis because they are white supre-
macists, and at the first opportuni-
ty to prove their words by their
deeds, they fly the track, they
funk, they jump in hole and pull
in the hole after them, and still
they call themselves Democrats.
The platform of the Democratic
party orders all Democrats to
support the suffrage amendment,
and the Republican-Populits slo-

 not exert themselves very much and returned after securing a few birds Tor their breakfasts.
 The recent storms caught some of our good people in great shape and they have discovered that there are time when it is best to do & little waiting. Quite number of persons who had windows and sk kylights broken by the hail oa Thursdsy, sought l glaziers early Friday morning and had l all theirs windows fixed before noon. They did not figure however on . second storm coming up and the con- sequences was that their windows were all broken again on Friday. They have now concluded that shut ters, screens, and tarpaulins are much better investments than window glass and are satisfied to suffer . little in- convenience until sure the rains are over.
 There is rather an unusal stir in the life of BisDee just at present all due to the effects of our recent floods and hsilstones. Parties are busy repsir- ing roofs and glazing windcws in all parts of town and a general bustIe prevails. All are anxious to get their roofs fixed before another rain comes mp and it is to be hoped that the threatening weather will hold of a day or two more. Another rain now would dc considerable damage to the interiors of great many of our houses.

 The Populist convention came of
 yesterday siteenoon and evening and full ticket was nominated. Every thing passed of smoothly and the members worked in perfect harmony. It was reported down town that the delegates were drawing strsws for the various nominations but it was prob. ably a false rumor. The ticket for the county, as fpally completed, is as follows:
 Jack Matthias, Legislative Council. P. A. Lofgreen, Assembly, G. s. Crocket,
 Neil Erickson
 Jas. Rielly Distric, Attorney, W. NJ. Fike. Probate Judge, George Joseph McCabe. Sheriff. A. Wentworth, Treasurer, George Porter, Recorder. W. G. Bryan, Supervisor, H. Schmeiding,
 Taken all in all the ticket is one which gives great satisfaction (to the opposing psrties). The Democratic and republicans have never conceded any great strength to the Pops here but have watched their various moves with great curiosity. They think .his iusl move IS a finisher and cay its all over with the Pops except the chant ing of their requiem ou the 3i day of 1 November.

 ANOTHER FLOOD.
 Talking about floods, we elieve we made some remarks about 8 heavy food and large hailstones yesterday bu: since then we have concluded tbst we didn't know much about such sub. lects. We thought yesterday flood and rain was an extraordinarily large one until about 80 p. m. today when we were treated to one one which di = counIel it in every particular. Hail stone, some of them 2. largs as h.o's eggs, fell quite .:eadily for about 20 minutes, Pad by the time the u.ilsde was o"er about all of the unprotected "IndOws in town were broken. Nor did the hail confiue its attention to windows and skyiights alone, sheet iron and old shingle roofs were unable 10 withstand the prolonged battering and in l5 or 20 csses the roofs o. houses were literally ruined. About 10 min- ules after the hail storm struck town tho water began 10 come down the canyon and in @ short time the 10 20 railroad culvert was running full. The water rose fully foot and a half higher than Tn tie storm yesterday and carried away several cabins that were undermined by yesterdays flow. The Copper Queen converter pit was flooded to the depth of about two feet and the raiirosd was covered with debris to the depth of six or seven feet. These things, however, are merely incidents Of the day and are as no,h- ing compared with the dissppoin.- ment with which we were oyertaken :his evening. After the immediate ex. ci,emenr Of the flood was over we be- gan to look for the appearance Of the Daily Democrat, the life Of Bisbee, but we waited and waited and no paper came. Finally becoming impatient wc ttarie1 for the office of the Demo- era, and on our arrival there we learned that the editor and manager were frightened nearly to Geath by the Hood and that instead of getting out their paper they had retired to the back rooms 10 make their peace with their Creator. We understand now that they are somewhat over their fngh; and are thinking of giving us the paper again tomorrow, but they so!emBly made up their minds during their period Of darkness and despair to lead better life and to pervert the truth no more. We, ourselves, would not be surprised 70 see the next issue of their paper come out in red. white and blue. and with the heading char gedto read "Dsily Republican"
