WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEHOUSI
How would you like to see * * *
lDennis-, IIawkin:. Bill Johnson and
P' other, Republican leaders aaih
t leading the colored peolle against
you?--Maidison Journal.
Before you swallow this para.
graph, just wait one moment and
take into consideration a few facts
regarding Gen. Dennis.
1(t1 From the time lie was a boy, 1S
ans years old, Gen. Dennis was an .ac
t tive Democrat. In the times of the
ivi- Kansas troubles, '56 and '7, he
ti was U. S. Marshal under James
le Buchanan. He was a war Demo
i crat, and a General in the Federal
ron army. After the war he settled in
a Madison pari4sh as a planter, not as
a politician.
In '68 he stumped Madison par
ish as a Democrat, in the interests
of Seymour and Blair. Later, he
became Parish Judge. How did
he become Parish Judge? Why, at
the solicitation of some of the lead
ing Democrats of this parish who
represented to him that by becom
ing a candidate he could keep that
office from being held by a negroor
a carpet-bagger. That he could ob
tain the colored vote, and that un
less he consented to run, the office
would be filled by some negro poli
tician or white carpet-bagger. He
consented and was elected, and re
elected, holding the office up to
the time of its abolition in 1877.
Then in 1879, when men of nerve
and determination were req6gred,
he was selected by the Parish Dem
ocratic Executive Committee as
their candidate for Sheriff, to run
as a Democrat. It is not necessary
to go i to the details of the cam
paign of '79. It was no campaign
of ease, and no tender-foot was
wanted, and Gen. Dennis was se
lected because he could fill the bill,
and would not weaken should there
come a trying time.
This is the man who is classed
with the Republican leaders, and
whom the people of Madison par
ish are warned against. The Truss
e* is not the apologist of Gen. Dennis,
but the facts of the case are given
in common justice. ,
-I. Now turn and look in another di
o rection. What can be thought of a
man who, claiming to be a Demo
crat, of Democrats, faithful tried
and true, and a leader of a branch
of the divided Democratic party in
this parish, who permits his per
sonal dislike to carry him so far as
to publicly say, "if it was necessary
to do so, tobeat Henry Holmes for
Sheriff, I would go in with the nig
Sprs to do it. I would put up a nig
ger and run him against him."
These may not be the exact words,
but they are pretty near it,-and are
just exactly what the words meant.
Now take the two men just de
scribed, although the name of the
last one is not mentioned, and
quietly think the matter over and
see which is the one most danger- o
omu to the Democratic party. See
which one Is most likely to assist
Sin turning your parish over to the
-negro rule which so alarms the
Journal. Every true Democrat
""ght to avoid the latter; turn from
him as from some poisonous rep
tile and depose him from a leader
ship he so plainly dishonors.
mOPaMIOx 101 ZECNAlNES.
The Richland Beacon has entire
ly misunderstood the Truss, which
intended to say that while the fac- b
tion it represents was willing to a
nite, Itwas not willing to do so h
if the defeated faction had the dic
tation of the terms. The faction t
represented by the TIMus took the a
ground that the overtures should 1
come from the vanquished who a
made the division. The mjority '
prsued the even tenor of its way, .
uand the minority refused to ac- F
knowledge the Executive Commit- t
I tee appointed by the majority, but I
i had its own Executive Committee. I
They smply refused to recognise a
the representatives of the majority. w
Whil, the Journal talked harmony
it laumted the names of an Exeen- I
tive Comuaittee appointed by a de- j
.futed faction, in its columns week m
siter week, and the minority have Bo
oppsed the maority all the time. a
Under these circummtmaees the ma- it
jellty, while anxious for harmony, d
amuld not prance amnd er alr ato
ali cotee of disafeted polti.tl i

* * is about lari.~h :idhiirs that the
and trouble is, particularly in the mat
aiih ter of electing anti-McEnery men
Iust to the Legislature. Openly we are
I all McEnery men, really the bolt
ad ers would do all they can to hainp
Ser him. The TIMEs knows this,
e while an outsider has no chanlce of
I seeing and knowing the true in
ac- wardness of the matter. Trusting
the the Beacon may fully understand
he the situation, which it will if it
nreads the TIMms, and hoping it will
no not hesitate to speak out when it
ral feels so disposed, the Tmres as
sures it that the State ticket is all
tas right, and also, that the parish
affairs are the same.
ar- THE LEVEES.
sts At the time of this writing the
he levees are all right. Milliken's
lid Bend has been held against heavy
at odds, but after a gallant struggle
the levee is still there. Omega was
rho the cause of considerable uneasi
m- ness, as was Illawara and Buck
rat horn, but they still hold, and sev
lor eral inches fall in the river has
n placed them beyond danger.
n- All this goes to show what deter
ce nination can do. Twiddling
thumbs may be, for those whose
le minds have a leaning that way, a
re- pleasant pastime, but no practical
results can result from it. The
difference between the twq plans't
we can be seen without going far from
home. On the front the first plan
M- was adopted and the levees were
as held, while in Tallulah, the thumb
un twiddling idea prevailed and the
iry town is overflowed; not very deep,
m- to be sure, which makes it so much
worse, but still overflowed, and'
g there is a probability of a race of
se- thumbless people putting in an ap
II, pearance in the course of a few r
;re years, for the thumb-twiddlers will t
eventually wear out their thumbs,
ed and will propagate a race minus a
ad that useful appendage.
PA THE AILS.
15, The mails between Delta and i
en Monroe are now carried by boat al- a
together, with the exception of a few e
nziles of hand-car travel. The mail t
fa skiff leaves Delta at 5 o'clock a.m., a
and in consequence the mail is I
brought over from Vicksburg the j,
in night before, making it one day la- .
ter than usual. This cannot be ii
r- helped without sacrificing the eo
pie west of here, and is the best,
ry that, under the circumstances, can
orbe done. It is, therefore, "all the o
more important that particular care tl
g should betaken to avoid mistakes, E
so that there shall be no unneces
sary delay.

e- It is rumored that the part where I
1e the break occurred in the Biggs lc- fr

Id who worked at night, and who t&ok ii

. bacon boxes, broken wheelbarrows, Ic

Both wings of the party are arming ao

for free trade advance sent out by dt

Sture the party by a declaration in the

the issue for the Clhicago Conven- do

practically confess that their tariff
policy would defeat the Democrat- no
ie party this year, but they are wil- Ti
ling to let defeat come if necessary it
to establish free trade as the clear.
ly dcfined faith of the party. On in,
this point there is now no room for ilt
misunderstanding.- The conserva.
tive tariff Democrats who stood by
the traditions and teachings of the ou
founder of Democracy in favor of Jol
the tariff discrimination for pro- ki
duetive industries are now fully
advised of the shock of battle that n
is soon to come, and they are fully it
preparod for it. They propose to ha
light their battle inaside the party. a
A meacus will meet on Tuesday. In th
thatumneeting the conservative Dem
oerats will propose a carefully and pr
frankly-drawn declaratimo on the h

rte The free trade argument, that
on the price of goods will be reduced
by free trade, recalls the story of
the Irishman in New York who,
hil on being told that beef was worth
40 cents a pound, said that in the
' old country he could buy it for six
id pence. When asked why he did I
to not stay there and get it for six- C
pence, lie replied that he could not
