II GOOD AOTE.

A new-m move has been made in
the educational field of Abbeville.
A bureau of lectures has been or
ganized, which bids fair to become
popular and instructive feature of
the season. Tie series of lectures
will be closed by Gen. John B.
Gordon, who will deliver his famous
Grafton, "The last days of the Con-
federacy."
At very little cost, members of
such an association are enabled to
hear celebrated men lecture on
various subjects. The Gazette
would like to see such. an organ1za-
ton established in Lafayette. The
instruction to be derived from such
discourses is enough to warrant its
organization in our midst.

The eagle eye Of Chevis of the
Baton Rouge Advocate has evil
IDENTIFY slept just bit of late or he
would not have failed to note the
entrance of his old friend Curley
Duson into the fold of the black
and tan, "trooly loil" State Central
Committee. Duson was always re-
garded as belonging to the high
toned sugar teat wing, but as he
is shrewd politician he soon per-
ceived that these people did not
cut much ice with the administra-
ton and he forthwith proceeded to
get in on the ground floor with the
gang who have a pull with McKin-
ley's leg which is dead sure thing

DELEGA ZES At LARGE.

wv DELEGA ZE.S At LARGE.
In an another column of the The
Gazette, we publish the names of
the men selected by the Baton
Rouge Democratic convention as
delegates to the convention. A
careful scanning Of the list by any
fair minded man will show that
they are true representatives OF the
sections from which they will be
sent. They are in perfect accord
with the objects for which the con-
vention was called, principally the
elimination of the negro from the
suffrage.
The best of feeling prevailed
during the sessions of the conven-
ton, and there was a total lack of
dissensions and spirit of acrimony.
Some of the brainiest men of the
State were in attendance and lent
their aid in forming a, good ticket.
At first, there was an honest diff
ference of opinion as to the manner
OF choosing the delegates. whether
TO disregard geographical lines or
not. This matter was amicably
settled. happy medium having
been reached.
The men chosen from this con-
Rressional district are we'll known,
and their work will undoubtedly be
equal to the expectations of the
public. Among them, we find the
name of A. P. Pujo, of the parish
of Calcasieu, who stumped the dis
trict for Congressman Brouussard
at the last election. He belongs to
Creole family, was born and
and raised in Creole community,
and, no doubt, will look to their
interests in the coming convention.
There are, also, Judge A. V. Coco,
of Avoyelles, and E. B. Dubuisson.
of St. Landry, two lawyers of
Statewide fame.
The convention adjourned after
having adopted the PLATFORM. a
stirring Democratic address to the
people of Louisiana, repiete with
the timehonored principles of that
party.

Law;essness reigns supreme in

factions as now, everything but
their own efforts, will be futile.
