• The Louisiana democrats In
state convention last week
adopted a resolution declaring
hostility to the entire principles
of lottery dealings. The ponsti
totion declares gambling to be a
vice, yet encourages that vice
in its worst form, not only writ-
ing Co breeches of faith and -em-
bezzlement in efforts to get rich
on the turn of a wheel, but ^e-
moralicing society, corrupting
politics and impeding legisla-
tion, and we demand that the
legislature to be chosen at the
ensuing election shall enact
such legal measures as are uec-
'essary for their suppression.
Our neighbor at Cisco, the
Telegraph, seems highly indig-
nant, and uses naughty lan-
guage, and all because the last
issue of the Echo said persons
in €H8co have tried to deter
prospectors and home seekers
from coming to Albany, or
words to that effect. Without
noticing the bad Words our
neighbor indulges in, we cheer-
fully comply with his demand
for proof the assertion we made.
How is this ? Last spring a
gentleman, now, but not then>
in business here, was told in
Cisco that ** Albany is no place
for you to locate, you can do ho
business there, stop here in Cis-
co." He informs us that he
"would not give Albany as a
business ptyce for aoy town ten
times as large," and he was re-
cently in Cisco. A young man
now clerking in a store i n't his
place, while in your town neigh-
bor Tdegrtoph, en route here,
was told that he could not get
anything to do here, that Alba j
hy did not amount to much. If
we mistake not, Mr, Barnes, ad
vance agent for the Sautz troupe
was told in Cisco that the troupe
would not pay expenses here,
but it did much better than that
as von, Brother Walker, we
think, can testify. The Echo
eu}ertains #o animosity toward
Cisoo, her business men nor the
press, but it is plain to be seen
that some one in that place has
used undue means to induce
people to not come to AJbany.V

tlemen from the room and tried
