The State Central Democratic Exc
cntive Committee, at its meeting on the
27th in New Orleans, will arrange for a
thorough and vigorous campaign in the
inteEest of the State Democratic ticket.
There is not the slightest doubt about
the stccess of the Democratic party,
Africa and Populists should be given no 10
quarter. We hold that it is the veriest
sort of nonsense to fight the devil with
anything else than tire. That is the way
the swayed-back Democrats of Caddo
have treated the burros in this parish,
aud the result speaks for itself There
are not enough Populists here to make
a respectable shadow. We have never
temporized with or tried to placate
them. Give them drastic pSsfiocratic
medicine in large doses on every occa-
sion. 1t will have most salutary of
fect.-Shreveport Evening Judge.

The opposition to the Democracy in
tlls State is divided into three camps
the regular negro Republicans. the su-
gar bounty Republicans and the Popu-
lists. The first want Office and chance
to plunder the State; the second are
really Democrats with a national su-
gar bounty law in their craniums and
the last want what all good Democrats
arc striving for-ths Government run
in the interest of the masses instead of
the classes. The Popuiists are really
retarding reform by taking part of the
reform element away from the Demo-
cratic party.-Town Talk.

aisgracetul condition of Political affairs
IN our parish:
Opelousas, Jan. 21.-A conference cGiumittee
composed of the Thompson wing of the Demo
cratic party and members of the Populist party
met at Washington Monday and nominated the
following ticket: Judge, ". C. Perrault; dis
trict attorney, r. Lee Garland; sheriff, H. Fl.
Deshotels; clerk, Alfred Pavy The nomlrees
are all ex-Democrats who participated and
were defeated in the December N. :naries for
delegates to the State convention. ar Pavy,
the nominee for clerk, is Il member of the Par
ish Democratic Executive Committee. The
Democratic Executive Committee is in the
hands of the boltins Democrats, and some
means will have to be adopted by the Demo
Gratis to take it out of their hands. Politics are
in a muddle here. and it requires nothing
short of the Intervention of the State Commit
tee to settle affairs, and it is the hope of the
Democrats OF the parish that that authority
will take Il hand and straighten out things.
Itis reported that one of the senators
aEd two of the representatives are to be
given to the Populists. The true Dem
ncrats OF st. Landry will never allow
such an nnholy combination to succeed.
