A DEMOCRATIC CALL.

OCCOA4O OOLIS ACSo4O1ol DI0GA LCCi
State of Louisiana:
The Democratic Congressiona
Committee of the Second Congress
sional District of Louisiana has
the honor to again present for the
suffrages of the Democratic Vot-
ers of this district, as their candi
date for representatives. the Con-
gress of the United States to be
elected in November next, the
present incumbent of the office,
Hon. II. Garland Dupre
gentleman who, in a busy career
of professional and public service.
has won Statewide esteem and
affection; A Democrat, he stands
firmly by the leaders of the party
and for its principles; 50 that in
whatsoever relates to the policies
and purposes of legislation and
statecraft he can always be found
by his constituents.
Mr.. Dupre is a splendid example
of the younger element in Louis
lana, which is making itself felt
in the manifold walks of public
and private life, and, equally
with the older element, is adorn-
ing the State with culture and
refinement, and furnishing much
Of its sturdiest material.
Mr.. Dupre is in the very prime
of a vigorous and useful manhood
He came to New Orleans a coun-
try boy, without other resources
than those afforded by his great
ability, unceasing energy, in
domitable will, excellent educa-
ton and unspotted reputation.
His career is we'll known to all;
for in public and professional life
he has been a conspicuous and
successful man. His experience
as State legislator and as speak
er of the house of representatives
of our State, admirably assisted
in schooling him for the duties of
Congress.
The United States House of Re-
presentatives has some 400 mem
bers. A new man in this large |
body is usually lost il the mass;
years passing before he becomes
of much use to those who send
him, and emerges into the light |
of enviable publicity. 1t is not |
saying too much to declare that
Mr.. Dupre has served this censti-
tuency during his two short terms
with distinction, and with due !
regard to its interests. !
These facts should appeal con-
vincingly to the voters in Mr.. |
Dupre's behalf.
No voter will turn from the
true, tried and trustworthy to |
thenew untried and inexperien- /
ce.
None will turn away from one |
who stands steadfastly by the
principles and purposes Of one of
the two great national parties
the historic party of the people,
the Democratic party, which,
headed by one of the greatest
presidents the country has ever
had, probably will long remain
in power and control, assuredly
for the next two years.
None will turn from such a
man and such a cause to throw
away a single vote in favor of !,
championingsn inform
ed party, that has no national
existence or recognition, and is
rapidly dissolving in those few
places where for a while it has /
desperately maintained a feeble |
life. This so-called party, mis-
named Progressive is but a sha-
dow cast by it's tur rbulent and
wandering chieftain upon 'rJhes
politics of the country, and its
only lights borrowed.
On the rapid decline to disappear
ance, for all the pleadings and
promises of its promoters, it can
accomplish nothing as aparty eli
sher by altering the existing state
IF things or by conferring bene-
its upon the people. These things
,an only be achieved by one Of +
she two great parties, and most
certainly by that one which is
learest to the peoples wishes and
dominant the Democratic party.
The voters will seek the election
if one who will be ina position to
rave weight and influence in
