sweet potatoes are in large supply and selling

trade at steady prices. The hide market is more
active and prices advance &c. Tallow is in
better request and it advances 4c. The flour

UNCLE BILLY DRESSE D UP.

Last weak Uacle Billy Aanis, OF
the Capitol Item, came out on the
street dressed mp in spankin new
suit that attracted general attention.
Oh, beg pardon it WAS his spicy paper
that put on the new dress and strut
ted around the ,nntry like a little
boy with his first boots on. And, by
the by, the Item comes now daily;
you know Uncle Billy used to send
six dallies aud his weekly all at one
time. Maybe be is proud OF the
dressed up youngstpr; anyway The
Progress conyratulates him on his
improvement and wishes him I'M
limited success.

To His Excellency Murphy D.. Eos
|terl--The Democracy of Caddo parish
|again calls your attention to the fac1
that the people have again spoken
against Jimmie arrogance, ano nave
once more buried them beneath the
weight OF public condemnation. and
have overthrown for ever the impu-
|dent rulership Of Foster and Blaneh-
ard.
AT the primary election held here
Thursday to elect delegates to the
Congressional convention, onlya posi-
|ble two ouu OF twenty -six, are in SEMI
accord with them: and these were al
owed-not to please the Jimmies-
bnt because they are good men and
friends wanted them thus honored.
The advices are that stong effort
was made to get Col. Ward, Mr.. W. +.
Buckelew and Senator Barrett on the
\ ticket but this was not allowed, Sim
lply because they are too utterly too,
too Jimmy, you know. And our side
h we it pretty straight too-that one
1of the chiefs of the gang whined out,
/ to one of the Ogden managers, why
didn't you put some OF our men on
the ticket7 we are for Ogden! And
the reply was ''because that meant a
fight. And the speaker might have
/ added, shat meant glorious licking
| for the ticket when it became known
/ that the Jimmie had afnger in the pie
Toe little fellows were terribly e1'
ercised when they saw the ticket anc
knew it meant anti j. M. Foster, ant

books and nothing by which to regu-
late the votes and that the only qdes'
ton asked, to entitle any one to vote,
was, "Do you live in this ward?' IT.
regularity is alleged, it is charged
that illegal voting was done, and the
friends of the temperance cause re-
fused to participate, but will test the
matter in a higher court. That Is
they will enter protest against the
official PRONUNCIATION of the election az
evidenced by the returns.
Great Heavens Is is possible
that no election will be held in Louis
lana without fraud being practicede
Have we, indeed, become so lost to
the sense of right that we do not
hesitate to wrong, cheat, swindle
and defraud at every election?
The Progress is extremely sorry to
hear this and hopes there is big
mistake. It would rather believe
that our friends, the ants, too timid,
than that the others deliberately
committed fraud in their Efforts to
succeed in the election.
We must put an end to these frauds
at our elections Great God !! With
er are we drifting? and where are We
leading the young men of our S'ate'

RELIGIOUS BlGOTRY.

Rav. Mr.. Wagner, OF Atlanta, Tex
as, refused to allow the Rev. L. l..
Pickett, evangelist, to hold a prayer
meeting in the church of which the
former is pastor. Both are Metho-

will never reflect credit Oh the one
who PRACTICES it, and the usefulness
of the Rev. Mr. Wagner will be con-
siderably impaired, if not relieved
altogether.
