FOR $SMRIFF.
L The announcements for Sheriff
have been inmade. The TIMEs is
for Henry B. Holmes, first, last and
all the time. Madison parish
never had a better officer. There
is rno cliticismi on his official ca
reer, both as Clerk of the Court
and Sheriff. No objection is made
P. to hm as aan ollicer. Any opposi
tion he may have is entirely per
sr. sonal. His politics are sound and
and his official actions correct.
What more does any reasouable
man want ? lie is stronger to-day
than when he went into the olffice
on and the opposition to himi is doom
e'd to disappointment and defeat.
' The Parish Item inadvisedly an
- nounced that Mr. McClellan "will
m carry two-thirds of his home ward,
besides having a large majority in
three other sections of the Parish.
e. Tie Item is not posted. This
ward is for Holmes. Mr. McClel
lan can't carry this ward where he
11. is strongest, and it is not possible
for him to carry a majority of the
a- votes of Madison parish. No man
p- mixed up in any red circular bus
iness can ever hope to be sheriff
of this parish. It is a hopeless
'ie case and the effort is vain. II. B.
IHolmes is the man for Sheriff.
His political career invites inves
tigation. lie fights no under the
cover fights. He is a warm, con
sistent friend and an open, ardent
ge enemy. And more telling and
convincing than all arguments, he
as is the choice of the people of this
parish for Sheriff. Turn out to the
mass meeting and silence his op.
et ponents with the conclusive proof
k of his strength, and nominate himn
for sheriff by such a majority as
will leave no loophole for argument.

l
n. FOR STATE BSIATOR.
b
id Two gentlemen are prominently
mentioned tor the State 'Senate
from this district-Capt. John B.
ig Stone and Mr. Geo. W. Montgom
3. ery. There should be no hesita
)r tion in making your choice.
IS Mr. Montgomery has served one
in term, in that capacity. Two ses
1e sions of the legislature have been
in held in that time, and if Mr. Mont
1s gomery has done anything to palli
r, ate sending him back, somebody
ought to step up and mention it.
ºd There are thirty-six members of
of the State Senate, Mr. Montgomery
n- has figured modestly as one of the
thirty-six. Beyond this there is
n- nothing to discuss.
SHe does not make his record a
k reason for returning him to the
Senate. He is reported to have
made an active canvass of the
d parish, and no mention is made of
his having based his claims for re
election, on what he has done in
the Senate, except that in the mat
ter of the cotton tax, hie is said to
me have claimed that he was opposed
a to it; and somehow he appears to
have left a wrong impression on
t thie mindsl of some, in regard to
his action in that matter. Of
course Mr. Montgomery is incapa.
ble of making a mis-statement and
Sit is unfortunate, that he has not
t that command of the English lan
Sguage, necessary to make his mean
ing perfectly clear.
When that cotton-tax matter was
under discussion, and before tihe
act was passed, Mr. Montgomery
camne back from Baton Rouge and
inquired around as to the senti.
ment of the people on the matter.
He stiaed, that, personally, he was
Sfrank to say, that he was opposed
Cto it, that he did not believe it
constitutional, but, that he was
Swilling to yield his private opinon
Sand vote as his constituents de
sired. His constituents, strange
r. to say, held about the same views
on the subject that he did. They
Swere opposed to it, generally, and
he returned to Baton Rouge with
t the people of Madison baclughim,
in his opposition to the cotton-tax.
In spite of this the act was passed,
and the taxing of cotton at tifty
, cents a bale, and land as five cents
an acre beceme the law.
SThere was considerable oppo
sition to this law and a meeting of
, tlkx-pSers was called to meet at
a Tallulah and take some action in
the matter. There was some talk
of an organized opposition to the
Stax, and the meeting called, was
e held on the day fixed. The ThIas
b is informed that, at the meeting
' Mr. Montgomery stated that, in
order to define his position he
a would read an extract from the
Senate Journal. He read this ex
e tract:
S Mr. G. W. Montgomery moved
to amendby striking out all of
seetion lO,and obtained permission
to have printed in the Journal the
Sfellowi. !
InW mv oamdtebI
Sobject to this section of the bill
becauae I believe it to be clearly
unconstitutional. It being oppos
v, ed to article 203 of the Constitution.
dl Repeated efforts have been made
II at varicus sessions of the General
! Assembly since the adoption of the
epresent Constitution, to authorize
the collection of a productory, and
t each time they have used with fail
e ure from the general belief that
such an act would be illegal. Then
why at this time lessen thl force
" of a Iill that has for its object a
d good purpose, by infusing into it
t; the elements of Constitutional
e weakness.
In advocating levees I do so be.
Y cause they protect and improve the
e value o0 lands. I therefore insist
- that the lands and :not the cotton
should be taxed with the cost of
their protection. The principle of
taxing products to improve real
estate is unjust, oppressive and
calculated to work great hardships
n upon the producers
It is an effort to transfer the bur.
den and responsibilily of building'
S levees from the owners of land to
- the producers of cotton. Besides
e it should be remembered that in
e connection with this subject there
c is no provision for submitting this
question to a vote of the people to
n ascertain their wishes in regard to
this extraordinary forced contri
t' bution.
For these and other reasons I
hope the amendment will pre
vall and the cotton tax thereby
eliminated from the bill," that Mr.
M- ontgomery then sat down. From
e this the imdression naturally pre
-vailed that he had opposed the
t cotton tax, and, of course, opposi
II tion, would logically succeed by a
Svote against it. Yet as a snatter of
fact, lie voted for the bill and for
the Senate hill, which authorized
-the collection of one dollar a bale.
f The House amended the bill by
Sinserting "fifty cents" instead of
4 one dollar a bale on cotton. The
extract read did not define Mr.
Montgomery's position. It defined
his opinion but it did not show his
final action on the bill, and the ex.
planation Mr. Montgomery clearly
supposed that he had explained
the whole thing, when so far from
having done so, he left an entirely
erroneous understanding on the
minds of his hearers.
Therefore it is that, lie is not fit
ted for the position of Senator. A
Senator should be a man who can
make his meaning perfectly clear,
and without any labored explana
tion or redundancy. John B. Stone
is such a man. There will be no
f such misunderstandings with him.
He will make his positisn under
stood by every one, and he is the
man who will be something in the
State Senate. He will not be
simply one of thle thirty-six, but
will reflect credit on his district,
and do honor to his conststuents.
f INCIDETLY,
It may be mentioned, that Mr.
T. L. Fleming's candidacy for
- Sheriff is something that puzzles a
) number of people. It will hardly
i be disputed that to hold an office,
> a manl must be a qualified voter.
SThe very first provision of who
s phall be a voter, as stated in the
f constitution of 1879, is
S1st, He shall be an actual resi
I dent of the State at least one year
t next preceeding the election
- at which he offers to vote.
- Now, just how Mr. Flemning can
make out an actual residence in
SLouisiana is where the puzzle
Scomes in. Failing to do this he is
Sineligible, and then comes the puz
I ze again. Two solutions have
been offered. The first was that
his candidacy was in the interest
Iof Mr. McClellan, that he would
endeavor to turn over his strength
to Mr. McClellan, which is not
satisfactory, as he could hardly do I
that, even supposing that he want
ed to. The other solution is that
he is running to capture the rail
road vote, fearinlg that vote
would go to Capt. Holmes,
and that every vote cast for Mr.
Fleming would be a vote thrown
away, and thus weaken Captain
Holmes, and strengthen Mr. Mc
Clellan, or that the V., S. & P., 1
was taking a hand in this matter.
Now, we don't want any railroad i
in this matter. If they are going I
to take a hand, openly, all right,
thatcan be met, hut if they are
going to take a hgnd, secretly, it[
would be well fao the people of
Madison to know it, so that it can
be also met. Anyhow a vote for g
Mr. Fleming is a vote thrown away, I
unless he can show an actual resi
deuce in the 8tate, and that ap.
pears to he a difficult thing to do.
