H rt was a McElery man in late campaign, while Mr. Gil ored Nicholls. like Holmes the inde. iate for Sheriff of h might win the Dem¶tlat. lied inldepelnd. that hIe had votes cast let the WARD CLU$S. It is doubtful if the signers of the action of the various ward clubs fully realize what their sig natures mean. The summary of the acti' n of some of the clubs is given this week in the TIEs, and every man who signs his name to the proceedings of the clubs, vir tually pledges himself to support Mr. McClellan for Sheriff. It is hardly possible that the eigaera fully understand the situation. In ,llain english it means to say to Captain Holmes: Yt u have no rights, or if you have, we ignore them. These gentlemen hardly intend that. They hardly mean to say that, to as good a democrat as ever trod the dirt of Madison par ish or of Louistiana, whose record is unsullied by any act unworthy a democrat, a democrat who defies any man to point to a political blot on his record, a democrat who as a man, and a white man, stands proudly before his enemies, and challenges any man to tar ,ish his democracy. Oh no, gentlemen ! You don't mean to say that such a man has no iights, that he is to be foully dealt with in this way, by the party that he has served so long anti so well. You don't want to cast out from among you such a democrat, if you are really demo crats, and know what democracy means. It is a pitiful spectaele that men can be induced to lend their names to such proceedings, that their better instincts can be overcome by the sham terror of republican ascendancy, and they, tlhereby, be persuaded to virtually condemn a man tPllheard, with his wrongs unredressed. Are the peo ple of Madison really afraid of a return to negro supremacy ? They know they ae not. That is a cry to terrify children, and is used as a cloak to the scheme to defraud Captain Holmes of the justice due him. Don't lend your unames to such an outrage, but rather rebuke the insult to your manhood involv. ed in the ,uppo.ition that you can be frightened by stch such 'asg gestions, into abandoning youm rights and signing away your c in victions. THE DITERENCI. The difference between the men who claim everything now, and the maligned Holmes men. In 1883 the McClellan men charged fraud on the payr of the Holmes crowd. Did)the men accused of fraud con tent thems-lves with simply deny ing it? No ! they scoured the country, and obtained the affi davits of the men who attended the meeting, and voted for Geo. W. Montgomery for chairman at the mass meeting in 1883, and demonstrated beyond cavil that they had a majority of the leg l voters of the parish, but even that did not stop the contest; the defeat. ed faction kept up tihe contest un til after the election, and they are the men who now, object to a con test. What did they do .when fraud was charged? Did they make any attemp* to disprove the charge? Not that anybody knows of. They just deny it and nothing more. It is just as easy now for them to get their t vidence as it was for usto do so in 1883, bit they don't want any evidence. The calm consideration of tihe people of this parish is invited to this contrast. CLVrS. The formtion of clubs is going on with great vigor, and as the gener al drift of thle resolutions are about the same the Tims can only give the sulbstance of the proceedings. The 4th ward club organized lasti Sunday (in splite of the Sunday law.) with twenty-two present. Judge E. C. Montgomery, presi dent, Jno. L. Wilson, vice-pesi. dent, W. D. Ziegler, secretary. It was resolved that the action of the club be the advancement of the in terests of thie democra!ic party of Madison parish, and they pledge themselves to secure the election of the State and parish ticket. A resolution was a!s.m passed that i "whereas the republican party un der the leadership of Gen'l Frank Morey (than whom no one is more ozious to the white people of; Louisiana, by means of the itical insults and injuries ed them) is organizing! ther the old negro ! white people rid' herenliani :that1' be called on to join if the "trff rt ,f to do so,," the club adjourned 'till d the next Sunday. The 2nd ward clubhas also been if formed with J. S. Richardson pres is ident, Geo. M. Long. secretary. A This club passed resolutions sim o ilar to the 4th warn cl ul,,and in r- dorsed with pride the ha.m ,ny rt that existed in the state cenvention is which showed the "complete sub rs mission of the will of the minority, n to that of the majority, and that to we respectfully suggest the same io cone of action to each and every re citizen who attended our parish ly conv ntion as the only corse co . to sistent with true demnemocratic as princilles." r- The 7th ward also organized a rd club and passed resolutions. iy "Whereas the Republican party. es the fo.e of the south, now at:emj a ot to build itself up in our State sa through discensions in our party, s1 and believing their success detri a mental to every interest in the is State. i! Therefore be it resolved, that we a the l)emocracy of the 7th ward are be determined at any and every cost ,y to carry this ward for the Demo so cratic nominees of the State and nt parish conventions." This club a further accepts the following reso o- lution of the State Central Coim. :y mittee as binding in all true De"m cl ocrats. ad "And whenever the regularly s, constituted parish authorities shall )e put a ticket before the people, no of other ticket shall be considered y, the democratic ticket to be sup ly ported by the democratic party." is The officers of this club are J. C. o- Ellis, president, T. P'. Broaddus, a Secretary. !y d DEMOCRACY. Id There is cons:derable talk going ue on just about now, concerning true to democracy and true democr Lts. ce The State Central Committee at. v- tempted to lay down the law to the an parishes, which to be sure, is go. a. jng outside of their prerogatives, an but they tried it all the same, in a- this shape: "And whenever the regularly constituted parish au thoritiea" (which includes the par ish of Orleans,) "shall put a ticket en before the people, no other ticket he shall be considered the democratic 53 ticket to be supported by the dem id ocratic party." d. Now, the N. O. States cannot be considered anything but a good deniocratic paper, and the democ racy of its editor, Maj. Hearsey has never been questioned. His services to the party have been of a kind that not every alleged demn 0. ocrat can boast of, yet hear what a he says on this action of the State Committee : There is not a member of the 4l Committee who does not know that at the machinery of the party in this t. city, has fallen absolutely into the - hands ofavoracioun, desperate and unscrupulous ring, who have so Sgrossly mis-governed New Orleans n- that there is a general revolt of the en property holders, business and in y dustrial classes, against their pow .r. There is not a member of the SCommittee who did not know, Swhen hlie voted for this resolution, ag that, if the selections of the so-call or ed primaries are to b, crammed it down our throats as thec regular nominees of the Democratic part' , ay then the city will be turned over re again to the City Ring for four e years longer. The Committee ev is ery member of it, knew this to be a fact; and, when the Committee adopted this resolution, it allied itself-not the Democratic party, thank heaven-stall more closely Swith the City Ring and all other local rings in Louisiana. r- WVe have not altogether a walk tover in this State; and, if those re who are in charge of the party. a. I pup ,so to pursue such at rbatrary measures as this, and at tempt to force the people of a great Y metropolis with its vast commer t. cial, and industrial interests, to i.abandon their right to a free n i- fir election and surrender I udy an I soul to a city ring that is cussed from one end of the city to e the other, they will he apt to p>ro - oke a wider revolt thasn that now Sin full blast against this particular local ring. 'The Young Men's Democratic SAssociation and the masses of the Democracy of New Orleans will t give no, heed to thi i s ,, nt maan .date but will treat it with the con Stempt it deserves and pruiceed in their work of carrying the State fur e tile Democratic State ticket, and f' smashing thIe city ring.-N. O. * States. SIs he to be ruled out because he Srefuses to support thIe city ring ? Democracy is not as well under Istood as it should be, and somNe of the gentlemen in Madison parish who so glibly undertake to assert what is, and what is not democracy, could, with profit to themselves, apply their powerful intellects to study of the principles of that n, and a comprehension S tions.
