THE ELECTION.

Another State election has passed |
off safely in Louisiana and Democ'
racy has triumphed again, this time
overwhelmingly. The almost IN
precedented victory throughout the
State, from governor down to con-
stable, shows how solidly the party
has worked together, and reveals the
fact that no discord prevails in our
ranks. The Republiean-fusionists
went about the State with the sound
of trumpets and long TRADE OF ao-
cusations. against the Democratic
party. i was feared that the sugar
sections would poll large vote for
the Gallery ticket, but Mr.. Gallery
did not even carry his own parish OF
St. Mary, nor even his own ward
1t was a verltable landslide.
Another gratifying feature of the
election is the utter discontinue oil
the Populists in North Louisiana,
where they only succeeded in send
ing one man to the Legislature
The Populists have gone to pieces
in louisiana good thing for he
welfare. Mr.. CaEery only carried
two parishes in the entire State
| ST. james and Ascension but th'
| Democrats elected all the parish
officers. In another column we CIV
the tabulated vote by parishes
showing the great majorltles Il
almost every parish.
We trust that under the new sy'
tenn of voting our State will Away
, come off as triumphantly as in the RI
, cent election. We have much cans
for congratulation. The combine
e forces of the enemy have been beate
e fairly and squarely, our party pr
sents SOLID front, and anothe
Democratic governor succeeds
Democrat, as will always be tt
case in the State of Louisiana.

The Coming Co. Convention
The time is fast approaching
when the people of Harrison Co.
will again be called upon to select
from among her citizens candid
ates for the different offices to be
filed, by election, at the coming
November election. One of the
most important to be filled is that
of County Auditor. In looking
the field over for suitable man
for the position, we can think Of
no Democrat or Populist in the
county more deserving the honor,
or who is better qualified for the
position, or one who could fill the
office acceptably to the people than
our fellow townsman William 81.
Withrow. He served the people
in that position one term, and was
defeated for a reelection, not be-
cause he had not been a ca
pable, faithful public servant, but
from too con6dant faith in the
party strength, and the general
political land slide of two years
ago, he, like many others, fell on
the outside of the breastworks.

Hon. Adlai F.. Stephenson.

The distinguished statesman and
patriot whose name heads this ar
ticle, left Lincon yesterday morn
ing for the north, and to escape
from the excitement incident to
the pending political campaign,
he came on to this city where he
hoped to have a quiet day. Arri-
wing here on the 10 O'Clock train
and taking quarters at the Miller,
whore he looked for quiet rest
until the evening So'clock st. Paul
train would carry him north, but
il soon became known that he was
in the city, and quite number of
our leading citizens, both gentle
men and ladies, without regard to
party, called to pay their respects
to him. In the evening the band
came out and a large number of
citizens, both ladies and GENTLE
men wendedtheir way to the Miller
to take by the hand the next Vice
President of the United States.
The street in front of. the hotel
was soon crowded, all eager to en-
ter the room in which the distin-
guished visitor sat, and men, wo-
men and children, in procession,
passed in and grasped his hand as
they passed before him. He re-
ceived all who came, with smile,
and seemed glad to meet them.
Mr.. Stephenson is fine looking
gentleman, about 65 years old, q
smooth face, bald head, bright eye
rosey cheeks, and the general ap-
pesrance of we'll kept American
citizen. His handshake is cordial,
and he had pleasant word for all.
He was the Vice-President with
Mr.. Cleveland, and while his Chi, I
has fallen from his once high po-
sition, Mr.. Stephenson has kept
the faith, and is held in high es-
TEEN by the people, and will re-
ceive a good vote, even in the
Hawk Eye State. Bryan g. Steph-
enson stock is at premium, and
when the American people cast
their votes next Nov, they will
be triumphantly elected, to the
honor and glory of the Republic.
There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it q local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca.

Once or twice a year the good house.
wife has thorough house cleaning. The
house has been swept and busted every
day in the year, but the housewife knows
that in spite of vigilance dust accumu-
lates in cracks and corners, and is only
to be removed by special effort.
It's the same way with the body. You
look after it every day. You take all
the ordinary precautions of cleanliness
and health. Yet the body needs its
special cleaning to rid it of the accumu-

which invite disease. Doctor Pierce's
