Whereas it is in the interest of harmony

of the citizens thereof that there should
be separation of the primaries for the
selection of Parish and Ward officers from
the general State primaries to be held for
the election of candidates for States Of
fees and whereas in ordering this separa-
ton of primaries it is the belief of the
members of the Parish Democratic Execu-
tive Committee that there will be elimi-
mated from the selection of our local Off
GERS all craftsmanship; that the officers will
be nominated on their own merits, and
not as the partisans Of any gubernatorial
candidate or the factions supporting any
of these: Be it therefore resolved that
there be held special primaries for all
parish and ward officers, at such time and
under such rules as shall be prescribed
by the Executive Committee.
Be it further resolved that the Demo

and urged to select their parish and ward
officers from non fractional standpoint,
and with view to a good and efficient
public service that in the selection of
these officers, State issues and candidates.

affairs having been adjusted, they should
exercise their own judgment again un-

could give TO the youth who de-
sired to learn the mystery of sue
cess. Self-confdence can never
be learned in seclusion. 1t is
nurtured IN the school of the
world, by contact with men IN
touch with affairs. Of course, it
will be understood that we are not
encouraging the overweeuing self
confidence that despiscs the advice

to try our wings, to trust our own
powers, if we are to make not able
progress in the world.

Self-conflence is, therefore, to

he should not advertise his merit

the Possibility of His
Candidacy.


troit Journal.
Former President Cleveland
has returned home highly pleased
with the demonstrative welcome
which was accorded TO him III the
West. In The course of an inter-
view MIR. Cleyeland was given
several opportunities to declare
his attitude toward Il presidential
nomination in 1904, but he skill
fully parricd all questions bearing
directly upon his own political fu,
ture or that of the Democratic
party.
If one might Judge by the smile
with which Mr.. Cleveland greeted
a reference to the words of en-
Senator Smith, Of New Jersey,
and Mack, of Buffalo, as fairly
placing him IN the field as the hope
Of the new Democracy, then it is
fair inference that Mr.. Cleve-
land regards himself as in the
hands of his friends.
Mr.. Cleveland was asked if he
ha! seen the papers in which he
was hailed rs party leader and
as the "sun of the new Democra.
cy' for 1904.
"Yes," said Mr.. Cleveland,
with another of bis gracious smiles
which seemed indicative of any
thing but displeasure; eyes, |
read that while on the tram to
day, but surely you cannot expect
me to discuss the tiattcring things
that warn friends are partial
enough to say about me. -

as former Senator Smith and Nor
man E. Mack come out and open

next year rs the one sensible
thing for the party to do, 1t will
occur to many that that fairly
places you in the field for the
nomination, and the public natur-
ally will be interested to know
what you say about 1T. -
Mr.. Cleveland laughed good
naturedly, but raised his hand
now in depreciation as he said,

cuss politics, nor can ! now say
anything about the future of the
Democracy or the outlook for
1904. l saw Mr.. Mack while

and naturally cntertains friendly
sentiments.
