Clerk w. L. Shacl1elford's cheap clap
trap, Offering a few days since to submit
the respective claims of himself and Mr..
R. s. Cameron to a white primary. As
the white people of Grant parish are to
decide as to the respective merits of the
two in few days, Mr.. Cameron has very
properly ignored a proposition 80 utterly
unfeasible and unnecessary. The issue
is plainly drawn between Cameron, Dem
ocrat, and Shackelford, Populist, and we
believe the bulk Of the intelligent white
vote in Grant parish on next Tuesday
will be cast in favor Of Cameron, as
against the wire-working an1 incessant
scheming of Mr.. Shackelford, for person
al preference and profit.

The Issue Presented.

AC 1SSuC y IlCSC1AOCus
On Tuesday, Jan. 11th, the people Of
Louisiana are to cast their ballots for or
against constitutional convention, and
for delegates to the same. The issue
joined is plainly, shall the white people
rule by just and lawful means, or shall
negro Republican, Populist combines be
permitted to keep up perpetual strife
and discord about bull-dozing and ballot
box stuffing?
The Democratic party, in the face of
all opposition by Populists and Republi-
cans, has decided that the voting shall
be done only by the intelligent, or those
interested in the government. 1t claims
that only those intelligent enough to
form correct estimate of the functions
of governm,n ,nt, or those who are suffer
emily Industrious to earn 800 or 800
worth of property to entitle them to a
voice in its government and protection,
have any right to vote. On this platform
OF an intelligent or an Interested ballot,
the Democrats 60 before the people. con-
scious of just and righteous cause.
Here in Grant parish We have the
spectacle of the: Populist nominee. who
only few months since was the leader
in the opposition which defeated this
very proposition. in Grant, now catering
to the popular demand, and saying that
the right of suffrage should be with
drawn from the ignorant and corrupt
negro voter! The absurdity of his posi-
tion is shown, however. when he endeav-
ors to curry favor with the ignorant
white voter, by saying: II will not con-
sent to disfranchise our honest white
farmers and laborers, because
| it is privilege that belongs to them"
Where the right of any man comes in to
vote just because he is 81 years Of age,
and has been too lazy or unfortunate to
learn to read and write, or accumulate
$500 worth OF property, this disciple of
reform does not endeavor to show.
Mr.. Shackelford's attempt to thus
straddle two horses renders him ridicu-
lous, and shows that he entirely fails to
appreciate the situation.
| Mr.. r. s. Cameron, the Democratic
nominee for delegate from Grant parish,
takes broad and comprehensive view
of the subject, and states positively and
emphatically that he is exactly in line
and in full and complete harmony with
the Democratic party upon this issue" )"
He is fine student of political economy
and is thoroughly familiar with public
affairs in Louisiana and several other
progressive States. As man Of affairs
he is favorably and personally known to
nearly all of our citizens. He started
the practice OF law at Colfax about 1877,
but after year or two abandoned the
practice as unsuited to his tastes, and
engaged in other pursuits. His nomina-
ton was complete surprise to him, TO-
tally unsought, and not even thought OF
until his friends called his name and
urged his acceptance by the convention.
The 36 delegates for the State at-large,
with whom Mr.. Cameron is associated,
are the finest selection Of talent and In
tegrity that has ever graced any ticket
in Louisiana. and the citizens Of Grant
parish will do themselves honor by vot-
| iHG for the men and the issue which the
Democratic ticket represents.

On Dec. 17th, Editor Dunn, of the De-
mands, pretended to US that he knew all
about the Kemp shortage. We suggest
ed to him that as no investigation had
been made, it was hardly fair to make a
sensation of the matter until Mr.. Kemp
had o chance to exhibit his showing.
More than two weeks later, after the
CHRoNIcLE had published all the partic-
ulars, Bro. Dunn comes out and gives
this as the reason why he adid not pub
lish an account of the little furry in the
sheriff's Office" What bosh! Everybody
knows it was purely lack of .get up and
get" We have not had charge OF the
Demands heretofore. and it is certainly
quite refreshing to learn that Bro. Dunn
has suddenly contracted the habit of-aas
vising with us and defers to our wishes
in the conduct of his paper!

The official ballot to be voted on
in the election to be held next
Tuesday will be the longest ever
printed in Louisiana, says the
Times Democrat. 1t will be Al
inches long. Onthe ballot will be
printed the names of the 36 dele
gates-at-large of the Democratic,
Populist and Republican parties
and the candidates to be voted for
from the representative districts.
Also, the proposition "for" or
against" the convention. AS the
law requires that a blank space
shall be left under the name of
each candidate for any Office, it
becomes necessary to cut the paper
on which the tickets will be print
ed A inches in length. In this
connection it may be stated that it
will be much easier to vote
against" the convention than
''for" it. Those who are opposed
to the convention of course take
no interest in the election of dele
gates, and it is presumed will not
vote for candidates. On the other
hand those who favor holding the
convention will feel some concern
in the delegates who will frame
the organic law, and will therefore
mark their ballots 38 times making
36 impressions of the stamp on the
margin of the ballot opposite the
names of the candidates-at-large.
