Pursuant to previous announcement, the Democrats held a meeting at the courthouse here last night, a fair audience being present. Hon. K.

B. Dubuisson, chairman of the pariah Democratic executive committee. called the meeting to order. He made a speech, during: the course of which be declared tbat the Democrats of Louisi ana were not holding meeting because tbey believed tbat the state was ln dan ger from the enemy, but because Repub lican orators- bad bpeu sent here from other state to preach their false doc trines to the people, and unlesa the Dem I ocrats. were vig.l ocrats, were vigilant and exposed their political bereslts, some of their adher- I un ni I (rh in enta might -be misled.

Judge JbJ. T.

Lewi was elected perma nent chairman of the meettne. with Mr. Kaymond Breuux, of the Clarion, us secretary. Lucius Q. Dunre then addressed the meeting in a ringing tpeecu.

starting out oy exposing tne inconsistencies 01 tne Hepubiican party, and of their candidate tor president, and after re vie wine Presi dent various posltlou on the great uubilc questions, asked "Wnen was be rigut?" He gave his attention to the several ouestlon of imrteriailsm. tanrr. silver, and concluded hU remarks oy eulogizing tne puoiic and private character of William Jennings Bryan, the gallant leader of the Democracy. William J. Sandoz wat then called noon ior a pee en.

ie uevoteu nimgeir exclu sively to tne Question or imDenaiism. specially calling attention to the argu ments so zrequentiy adverted to oy tae Republicans, that -Mr. Bryan waa estopped from taking advantage of this circumstance because he himself assisted In the ratification of the treaty with SDaln. He ahowed that the treaty did not stipulate any particular courae of conduct try congress or the American peo pie as to tbe tuture of the Pmupplues, and tbat be urged the ratification of the treaty in tne uoneat beuer mat it waa better to leave the final disposition of these Islands to the justice of our liberty- loving government than to the tender mercies of Spam, whose yoke tbey were endeavoring to throw otf. He ehowed that Bryan was in favor, aud.

so ex- Dressed himself at the time of the con sideration ot the treaty, of a resolution "Declaring it to be the nation's purpose to etalUb a stable governnieutjia Cuba and the Philippines, and theu "to give the Inhabitant independence under an American protectorate, which wul guard them against molestation from without." Tbe speaker argued that tuU plan would not Involve the expenditure of much money, as pretended by the Republicans, and cited tbe fact that for seventy-live yeaa this country had assumed a protectorate over -the Central and SwutU American republics, and tbat it bad cost us practically coining. Hon. Thomas H. Lewis waa the next apeaker. ills expue of the fallacies and inconsistencies ox tne uepuoiicun party and Its' orator wa masterful.

Quoting from the speeches of the tfepubucan spellbinders who visited this paruia this week, ne snoweu to wuai extraoraiuary length they bad gone ln their effort to make the oeoDle areileve tnat an me prosperity which this country enjoyed wa to be credited to the beuebceut reign of William McKiniey; that their araumeut that, if the Democrats suc ceeded, sugar, rice aud lumoer would be put upon the free list, waa the veriest nonsense, because ine.se articles were peculiarly, adapted to the Democratic policy of "tarlif for revenue oniy," and tnat no political party wouia put. products on the iree list, because they were excellent, revenue-producing urti-cies. Mr. Lewie then gave his attention to Imperialism, militarism and commer cial expansiou, arguing witu mucn ioic that tne position of the Democratic party on these question was correct, in tuor-ouch accord with Democratic principles of government, aud that, on the oiner hand, the Republicans were unable to justify themselves for this departure from our constitutional moorings on any Other than the sordid and mercenary tne. orr of "commerctuiiem ana truue fol lowing tbe flag." Hut It waa on tae ui lect of trusts that the speaker excelled.

Uls araumeut was torceful, convincing and really admirable. He urged the peo ple to put a atop to tne ravages or tuettc coinpetitaoudesLroylng institutions at once, or else It may soon be too late. If tun niin if voted to nut Mr. McKiniey ln omce next month, it would be an Indorsement of the trusts, as well us of lmrterialism. and then, indeed, would the republic be on the verge of dissolution and the empire nrmiy ettaoiieueu.
