THE OEAOCRAZ NOMZ-
NEE

NEE.
The readers of The Gazette are
no doubt aware of the fact that the
Democratic convention, held in
Lafayette last Monday, has nomi-
/ mated Hon. Robert F. Broussard to
represent the third district IN Con-
gEess.
The nominee is known to every
one in the district and it is unneces-
sary for us to say that he is accepta-
BILE to majority of the people.
That he will be elected there is not
the least doubt. The Republicans
affect to believe that Mr.. Williams
viii carry the district, but no we'll
informed person will give credence
to 50 ridiculous a story. Mr.. Brous-
sard has served two terms in Con-
gress and judging from tine -c.n-
imous nomination rendered him by
the Democracy of the district his
Official acts are endorsed by a vast
majority of his constituents. He is
thoroughly identified with every in
terest of this wealthy and populous
district, and We feel sure that part
Of the platform which expresses
confidence in his ability and faith
in integrity is an honest expression
At the popular will.
Mr.. Broussard is an effective
speaker and very active young man
and the threat from the Republi-
cans of an aggressive campaign has
no terrors for him. We opine that
. warm political fight is high class
sport to him and as he is armed
with the weapon of truth we can
see nothing but absolute defeat for
the gentleman from Patterson.
It were idle talk to urge the
Democrats of Lafayette to stand by
their party. There never was a
time when the success Of the
Democracy was more essential to
the existence Of the republic. Every
sentiment of patriotism appeals to
the Democrat to steadfastly adhere
to his party which has never stood
for higher ideals since the days
when Its founder, Thomas Jeffer-
son. preached, the gospel of human
liberty.

DANGEROUS TO LIFE.

Surgical Operations for Piles Danger
Gus and Unnecessary.
The failure of ointments. salves and
pills to permanently cure piles has led
many to believe the only cure to be a
surgical operation.
But surgical operations nre dangerous
to life, md moreover are often unsuc-
cessful and at this time are no longer
used by the best physicians nor recon-
mended by them.
The safest and surest way to cure any
case of piles, whether itching. bleeding
or protruding. is to use the Pyramid
Pile Cure, composed of vegetable oils
and acids. healing and soothing to the
inf1nmed parts, and containing no opium
or other narcotic.
DR.. Williams. prominent OFFICIAL
surgeon. says: 1T is the duty of every
BILE 10 cure in any other way, and after
unhesitatinGly recommend it in prefer
ence to an operation.
The harmless acids and oils contained
in it cause the blood vessels to contract
to a natural condition and the tulnors
are absorbed and the cure is made with
out pain, Inconvenience or detention
from business.
In bleeding and itching piles the Py-
ralnid is equally valuable.
