clusion by your silence that you consider the
proposition unfavorably, but let us hear from
you at once" and / take the earliest oppor-
tunity of setting your mind at rest on the
subject.
/ am not in sympathy with the principles
promulgated by the Chicago convention.
believe that "the laborer is worthy of his hire"
in honest dollars, and that he will not receive
them if demagogues succeed in foistng upon
and unlimited coinage of silver. In this con-
nectiOn / will say that my bread and butter
depends more on the sale OF products. raised
by my labor from the soil of Burney Valley,
than it does from the cancellations OF Bur-
ney Postotice, and when sell those products
want to receive pay for them in money
the fluctuations of which will not have to
"cipher ont" in order to ascertain its value.
have been taught to regard the supreme
Court of the United States as the bulwark and
safeguard of our form of Government, and
cannot counJenance the threat to reconstruct
it in the interest OF anarchy.
That | may not be considered inconslstent
or ungrateful 10 the party that has honored
me beg to remind you that l hold my COM
mission from Democratic administration
which represents the true principles OF
Democracy and has nothing in common with

ruinous principles to which you ask me to
subscribe.
Hoping thato the un-American and unholy
doctrines which you are advocating Will be

not awaken them, am very respectfully yours,

THE MAYORS TICKET.
Those Whom Mr.. Sutro Would Like to
See in Office.
The following letter and list are self


explanatory
Every political party faction and clique has
made up its ticket and the result is mass of
names utterly embarrassing to the confused
voters
In dismay well may they ask, s.For VIII ON
shall we vote ?" Without q most elaborate
and extended investigation it seems inipossi-
BILE to make q proper selection, and so, hlindly,
from habit. they may vote party ticket and
thus carry into office the very men they do not
want.
Out of the tickets on file. in the Registrars
Office l had at first intended TO choose an entire
ticket, but ultimately, for sufficient reason,
concluded to confine the selection to the
Board of Supervisors
The question of the good government of the
City is not political; it is local and appeals to
all independently OF any National consdera-
tion. Under our present laws the Supervisors
the affairs of the City. They settle the basis
of taxation, they look after the distribution of
all the money ana have the entire control of
finance. Their right selection is therefore of
In choosing board have. of course, to take
the material at my command. and in offering
the names on this list l cannot personally
guarantee the ou tcome, though in several cases
know personally and in the others have been
assured by competent men that the members
chosen are the best that could have been Sc
lected.
AS regards the charter, have finally con-
cluded to oppose 1t. Under 1t, practically, the
whole power of the City is invested in the
Mayor. If the 'bosses" and the corporations
have heretofore managed our elections and
been generally able TO control the selection of
the Supervisors, they will, in my opinion,
when it suits their purpose have the like
power to choose the Mayor, and for that reason
/ do not think it the part OF wisdom to vote
now for a new charter.
We have the power of selection. Let us try
good board, such as is supposed TO be
contained in the list hereto appended If
they prove really good the Mayor will be OF
mino- consequence; If they. prove derelict in
their duty there will then be time enough to
frame q new charter that will give the Mavor
greater but not such arbitrary power. Re-
spectfully submitted, ADoLPH SUTRo.

Stand By Your Flag.

The call for District Convention to
nominate District officers, which will
be found in another column, is clearly
irregular and unauthorized. Neither the
Parish Committees of st. Landry and
Acadia nor their chairmen have the
shadow of authority for calling such a
body together.
We have Il regularly constituted
District Committee, against whose au-
thority no protest has ever been heard,
whose province and duty it is to indi-
cate the mode and manner to be fol-
lowed in the selection of the candidates
of the party for district officers, and
in the exercise of its undisputed author
ity, it has ordered a primary election
for that purpose, in which all the Dem
ocrats of the district will have an op-
portunity to express their choice. Now
comes an unauthorized call, by which it
is attempted to take away from the
people-tbe rank and file Of the par
ty-the privilege of naming their can
didates, and vesting that highly impOr-
tant function in small body of men-
men, too, who were elected as delegates
without the sanction and authority of
the District Committee.
This simple statement of facts is all
that is needed to demonstrate the ut
ter nuility of any action this so-called
District Convention may take and we
trust that none of the candidates for
district offices will have anything to
do with it. Let them all go before the
white people Of the district, and. as
good Democrats and men of principle
are doing to-day all over the State, abide
by the result. By adopting a contrary
course they will place themselves in
open rebellion against the regularly
constituted authorities of their party.
bring about condition which will mill
tate against the success Of that party in
the momentous crisis which we are ap-
preaching. and affix blot upon their
escutcheons as Democrats which may
remain to plague and torment them in
the bright years, pregnant with rosy
possibilitles, that are to come.

The Battle Abbey of the South.

We publish to-day the eloquent and
patriotic address of that grand Old he
ro, Gen. John b. Gordon, concerning
the establishment of IL memorial hall
which is to become the Battle Abbey
of the South, and commend its perusal
to all onr readers. This grand enter
prise has now virtually been placed in
the hands of the women OF the South,
and this fact assures its prompt and
perfect realization. Had the move
meDt to erect II monument to the I'M
mortal Davis been committed to their
care, that monument would have been
completed ere this.
Women of St. Landry, sacred, a
holy trust has been committed to your
keeping! Yonr mothers, Il generation
ago, brayely sent forth their husbands,
sons and brothers to battle for their ma
tive land. Inspired by the noble for
titude and herOism and the sub
lime devotion OF these gentle de-
tiles Of the home, these men, on IL thou
sand CORY fields, shed undying lustre oD
American prowess and by their va!orous
deeds challenged the admiration OF the
world. To you is now committed the
task of preserving the record OF tteir
glorious achievements, of transmitting
to generations yet unborn the grand
story of their uselfisii patriotism, their
uDflinching courage, their peerless val
or. We know that you will do it!
Organize, then, aud at once, yohr So
cieties, and go to work. Not only in
Opelousas and Washington, but in
every hamlet and Deighborhood" in the
parish let the patriotic work begin.
Hearken to the stirring appeal Of the
gallant Gordon, the grandest and most
striking figure among the grizzled sur
vivors of heroic epoch, and teach
your sons and brothers that, even in
this selfish, graspng and utilitarian age,
patriotism, love of country, and sacred
reverence for the noblest qualities that
adorn the human race are not vain,
empty words.
