tion and support of the intelligent and
unbiased voters of Louisiana. The
remarks of the various speakers were
we'll received by the large crowd and
seemed to make decided impression
on all present. The issues Of the cam
paign we're discussed ia clear and
concise manner, and the points brought
out were stated plainly aud driven
home with compelling force and adj
mirable logic. MIR. Pharr's earnest
manner and apparent sincerity made a
most favorable impression upon his
hearers, and he was warmly applauded
at the conclusion of his address.
The speakers stand had been taste
fully decorated for the occasion and
prese nted a most attractive appear
ance. Music was furnished before,
during and after the meeting by the
well-known st. Joseph Brtss Band Of
Donaldsonyille.
Mr.. Pharr and the members Of his
campaigning party, as we'll as the
local Republican leaders, expressed
themselves as being more than salts
ded with the size and character of tie
meeting, and are confident that the
Pharr ticket will poll o large vote
at the forthcoming general election.
The result of the Bailey -Lambremont
incident and the action of the Demo
cratic state central committee in the
premises is freely criticised by all
classes of citizens in this community,
irrespective Of political afiliation,
and has undoubtedly added to the
strength of the Republican party.
