FRIENDS, BROTHERS AND FEILow-CITI-
ZESs:
/ stand before you to-day, and as am the
man you have all been waiting TO see, il is
INV duty to say something. Before me
see large gathering-yery large. i have
been in this city off and on since 1868, and
/ don't believe ever saw as large crowd
here as / see to-day. Many of you come to
see me, and am glad to meet you. / see
a good many young faces, both white and
colored; and while see your faces, and
you gaze upon me, / hope my fate may
prove q warning to one and all. In me
you have an example of what evil will
bring man to. hope there are many
here who have never witnessed what they
are going to witness in a few minutes.
There have been many rumors about mat
tiers that would be made public this day.
and / understand there are many people
present who expect / will have some
STARTLING REVELATIONS
to make. am not here in my last hours
of dispair 10 condemn any one. | shall
leave that to God, and may He bless you
all as He has blessed my soul. There is
another thing. At this stage the speaker
was asked by Sheriff Bowman il he was not
nearly through and answered in the al
frmative-Rep.l l feel to-day that it
il my duty to compliment my friends, for
i have some, but have a greater Friend
TO whom i am looking now, and just so /
hope the friends j am leaving behind will
look 10 the Friend | am now looking to. /
am thankful to nv friends for what they
have done for me. | am thankful to my
attorneys and may God bless them. They
made a good fight in my behalf, but made
a better fight and am going to plead at a
better bar than the one at which they
pleaded here below.
There is one other matter / wish to
speak of. | am the sorriest man who is
to-day living on the face of the globe,
WHAT AM / SORRY ABOUT?
Because have got to die? No, my friends,
that is not the cause of my sorrow. l am
sorry for the one who has gone ahead and
for whom am here to-day TO pay the
death penalty. / am sorry because she
was suddenly plunged into eternity and
her chances for salvation are not as good
as mine. / have given God my heart and
that is all can do. He has blessed me,
and If He had not could not stand here
to-day. A great many did not expect me
to come here and talk as | have,
and could not have done so
had not prayed every day, every hour
and every minute when awake. Why,
sometimes when woke up found myself
praying. prayed that might meet this
punishment bravely, and that God would
be with me.

A WARNING TO THIS CROWD,
because / realize that you are more intelli-
gent than am. II you were to put your
selves in my place, and under the same
ninety-nine out of every one |
hundred would be where l am to-day. But |
must cut my speech short. Brothers and |
sisters, thank you for your attention, and |
he officials for their kindness. One more
hing will say. As surrendered myself

my heart to God, and am glad |

THE NORTH AND SOUTH RAIL-
ROAD.

1t goes without saying that tho proposed
North and South railroad is tho greatest
scheme ever devised for the development
of this country, that it will do mo: . to-
wards bringing money into the country
and to build up our tagging towns and
languishing trade than all other enterprises
established or contemplated put together.
Think of it. A railroad from Bismark,
Dakota, to the Gulf of Mexico! It's under
taking is appalling to the Imagination, but
there is nothing of tho kind that science and
the ingenuity of man cannot bring to a
successful issue.
The road will be built but whether it
comes by our doors is the question. Three
routes are proposed: One west of us, one
east of us and one through Ouachita parish
and Monroe. Ours has the preference of
the capitalists who propose to build the
road, but do not delude yourselves that it
is an assured fact that We will get it.
BY the proper exertion we can.
Senator Boatner's bill governing tax
elections in aid of railroad enterprises has
become law and the way is clear.
All we have to do is to vote tho tive mill
tax.
We do not appreheud much opposition
to this tax. None when it is understood
that the building of the road will bring ten
fold moro money into tho country than we
pay out in taxes for its aid. The railroad
itself will pay the taxes back in one year
after the expiration Of its tax exemption.
Besides We reap tho benefit of greatly Gil
HANGED property values and a consequent
taxation.
Do not let tho golden opportunity slip.

My dear Sir-I have this morning received
the DAILY TELEaRAPH OF the 5th inst, con-
tanning the repl odnction of tho open letter
which you did mo the honor to address to
ME.
IN my letter to you OF tho End inst,
written before had seen yours, expressed
my desire for the healing of all past dissen-
tons. and my regret that the two COM
inittees, as you suggest, could not have
been brought together at the same time and
place. The failure to hold conference of
the two Oh the subject on the 10th Of July,
While no fault of mine, did not. am salts
lied, result from hostile or proscriptive
| feeling on the part of Mr.. Crandall. am
| convinced that he and all other good Demo-
| Gratis are anxious to see harmony restored.
| As good party men they cannot afford to
| ignore the large and intelligent class which
| my committee represented iii tho last
! campaign.
hope and believe that the Ex., Com
mittee to meet on the 10th will give All
earnestness OF their love and devotion to
the party by an exhibition of liberal
spirit, and by rising superior to their at
tactment for auy one man, and their de-
liberation for the common good.
Let this action be what it may, does the

result OF the last election fixed the status
of the Crandau Committee. Tho masses of
each faction fully recognizes this and we
must bow to the decision rendered against
us. Any attempt on our part to oppose, AS
an organized body, tho acts Of this Com
mittee will only intensity tliscordant feel
ings, and mako us appear as Esctionists and
disorganizers. A manly acquiesenco and
submission to the will of tho maj ority does
not argue any acknowledgements on our
part that out past course was wrong or
undemocratic. Our convictions Of having
been right are not shaken by the verdict
against us. Our loyalty TO Democratic
principles are now to DO shown by quietly
submitting to the DEGREES of the highest
tribunal which can try such cause.-the

Editor Telegraph
Respected Sir and Fricud-Some
short time back my attention was
drawn TO a paragraph in your valuable
paper on the subject Of tniscegena.ion,
which have long since desired to see
exposed by our leading journals where
perhaps the cursed evil Is more preg
nant than in any country in our fair
Southland. The Telegraph is the first
to sum up courage aud fortitude to
publicly attack the cruel monster,
and for which I do thank you from
my very heart. Every father, every
mother, and every daughter, will rise
up with me aud join to thank you for
your manly courage'in exposing this
terrible evil and curse 10 the public,
which has grown to dangerous and
alarming extent. And sir, If there Is
not some means resorted to to check
the hideous monster, it will not be
long before the pure white race of gods
creation will be exchanged for race
or nation Of mongreIs. Sir, you know
I am very old man, now in my s4th
year, and know in my raising such
was not the case. may be somewhat
singular in my notions, but l do not
believe Mr.. Negro over made track
on Gods earth until after the flood,
which was about $3.50 years before
Christ. I believe in the outset he was
tho origin Of curse, has been so ever
since, and now to-day, is a greater
curse than ever before. have further
noticed the communication of that
noble mother and patriot from Shreve
port published in the Telegraph of
June Goth. ., Sir, how many of our
good old sainted mothers are weeping
and watching over their beloved sons
while these hellish temptations are
constantly being set up before them.
learn from your notice given, that
you are looking forward to the meets
ing of the journalistic or Press Asso-
citation to meet in your city soon. II
hope you may have a full meeting
aud that you will in Christ stead pres
ent this odious, sinful and OUTRAGEOUS
state Of corruption before your honor
able body and hoist your BATTLE flag
against it until the last vistage of the
curse be blotted from the land.
Truly your friend,

CROCKEDNESS IN THE STATE

Tho Picayune has not been silent on
the inefficient and unfaithful adlninis>

that have taken place in connection

a joint committee from both branches
of the Legislature, appointed to exam
Inc the affairs of the Land Office, has
just reported that the "records are iu%
complete, mutiiated and worn out, and
need a thorough overbau!ing and re-
vision by experts" Also, "that lOO, 900
acres OF State lands have been sold
with no entry or record on the tract
book" and "that hundreds of thou
sands OF acres are covered by Frauds"
