SENATOR BARKsDALE'S REMARKS
He ConGratulutcs the Democracy of

In introducing the Speaker of the House.
who had been designated to present Mr.
Bryan. Senator Barksdale said:
Ladies and Gentlemen,-I congratulate
the Democracy of Virginia THAT we well
! come this evening Democracy's peerless
leader In 1896 we deserved to win. In
1900 we are going to win. We welcome
this evening man whose nomination
nearly four years ago evoked an epoch
in the history Of Democracy and in the
history Of the nation-a nam who was
not nominated for the sake of eXpediency
and whose candidacy meant success and
success only. We nominated a man whose
election would mean something upon a
platform which declared for something.
He was defeated, but his defeat was
more glorious, under the circumstances.
than victory.
1 am. a Democrat who believes that a
victory won under q leader who declares
for nothing, upon platform which means
nolnlng. is worse, infinitely worse. than
defeat. When the great battle OF 'a6 was
fought and lost, the Democratic hosts
instlnctively turned to the defeated can
didate as the leader in 1900. for in battle
he was nagnlticent and In defeat he was
suDume.
We know not what the future may have
IN store. We know not what coming
events may bring forth. but we know we
are right and that the principles of DEM
ocracy must triumph In the end. We
know that passing events may thwart
our progress and untoward circumstances
stay our onward stride, but the great and
underlying principles of our government
are best represented in the platform of
the Democratic party. and that these
principles will live forever. Other parties
may rise and fall. other issues may spring
up and vanish from the earth, but the
principles Of Democracy are eternal and
Democracy will never die.
The Democratic party. born in the
dawn of the Nineteenth Century, its first
great leader was Thomas Jefferson, E a
@NtrSlnian. In the dawn of the twentieth
Century its greatest exponent is Wm
Jennings Bryan, a grandson Of Virginia
and In future ages Democratic ora tors

crease as he proceeded. Probably less
than dozen persons of the vast audi
ence left the Academy while he was talk
ing.
Mr.. Bryan was in good voice, and could
be distinctly heard in all parts of the
building. There were many present who
did not agree with some of the views pre-
sented by the Nebraskan. but these, as a
rule, admitted that Mr.. Bryan was 4 very
attractive speaker, and made an able
presentation of the political issues from
his standpoint.
1t was an enthusiastic gathering, and
the speaker was literally aoplauded. His
tribute to Robert Z. Lee and the wish
he expressed that the British might never
reach Ladysmith, elected the greatest
applause.

Col. F. w. Price of Ruston, put
in a startling interrogatory to the
Caffery spell-binders uron the oc-
casion of their recent visit to that
progressive little city. Gunby was
in the midst of one of his ranting
TRADES against the Democratic
party, and had just reached the
point where he IS accustomed to de-
nounce the Democratic convention
for nominating their candidate for
Governor before the platform had
been adopted, when Col. Price
spread CONSERVATION in the camp
by inQuiring at what stage of its
proceedings the fusion forces had
written its platform. This was a
solar plexus blow and it so ratified
the orators that Gunby both fell to
talking at the same time and trying
to explain that they were running
on no platform except anti-Foster-
ism. Mentioning platform to
Caffery and his layout is as cruel
as turning the conversation to the
subject Of rope in the house of a

Death of Mr.. v. e. Dupuis.

Mr.. V. E. Dupuis, prominent
resident of the sixth ward, died at 9
O'Clock yesterday morning at his
late home near Carencro.
Mr.. Dupuis lived in this parish
thirty years during which he was

culated to promote the welfare of

citizenship as he understood them.
He was actively engaged in all I'M
dertakings to further the material
1882 he built small sugar-mill
near Carencro and gave his atten-
ton to the cultivation aud manu-
facture of sugar. Years later when
new conditions made it Improbable
to manufacture sugar in the old
way, he joined a number of other
progressive gentlemen and organ
lied a stock company which had
for its object the construction at
Carencro of a sugar mill with i'm
proved machinery aud modern ap-
planes. This enterprise added
greatly to the agricultural resources
of the Carencro section.
Mr.. Dupuis was born in Havre,
France, on June IS, 1881. At an
early age he settled in New Orleans
where ne received a good business
education. In 1882 he moved to
Carencro where he remained until
his death.

Magron, and the following children
survive him: Mrs. E. v. Guidroz,
Mrs. Harry Barrenger, Edmond,
