A Question of VerRcity.


A State Senator has accused the editor of
the Richand Beacon Of being the only man in
his parish who favored a constitutional con-
vention, and the Beacon man takes 1t AS u
question of veracity, in his own language
''giving us the lie direct" and candidly in
forms Mr.. Senator that II he had "mixed
more with his constituents he would have
learned that the press reflected the senti-
ments of the people on this as well as on
most other subjects Of public interest"
The Beacon man Is perfectly correct. The
press of this State in its advocacy of the call
for a convention represented the great mass
of Democratic voters who are, in our opinion,
tho people In the sense used by every Demo-
cratic journal. II has been well understood
by the people that the Democratic party
would call convention and give them new
organic law. Immediately on its accession to
power The leaders promised reform from
the stump and rosttums throughout the
entire length and breadth of the State, and
every Intelligent man knew then, and is better
satisfied now than ever, that there can be no
true reform without a new organic law. 1t is
useless for Senators and Representatives to
deny these facts. We have heard them ac-
knowledge that we ought to have q eonstitu-
tional convention and were satisfied the peo-
pie wanted one: but the cry was that they
feared to disturb the present State govern
ment; the RAIDS might do this. that en- the
other. We don't care who says no, the poo
pie of this parish want a convention. and tho
DEMOCRAT Is correct exponent of their views
and sentiments.
