Getting Pledges.
J. Tnnes-Bemeerat Sept. 2.


The Progressive League, at its meet
ing last night, urged the voters of the
State not to make or sign at this time
pledges of how they will vote at the
next election on the lottery revenue
proposition, but to first hear all the ar
guments presented by both sides in the
campaign which will be carried on dur
ing the next two years, and then vote
as they think is for the interest and
honor of Louisiana
The resolution reads as follows:
Whereas, it is reported that certain mem
bers OF the Anti-Lottery League are now seek
ing to pledge to their cause and to vote with
,them those citizens of the State of Louisiana
who have as yet heard only one side of this
all-important question; and, whereas. III the
interest of good government and of all voters
we believe it to be duty to protest against
such unusual and undemocratic conduct;
be it
Resolved, That we urge upon every voter
of the State of Louisiana to preserve his pO-
litical freedom and to form his opinions only
after mature deliberation and hearing all that
is to be said, to the end that when the day of
election comes he may go to the polls and
vote fearlessly and manfully for or against
the proposed charter according to his honest
and enlightened convictions.
This is good Democratic doctrine.
The pledges which the Ants are now
trying to wiring from the voters are con-
fessions of weakness and show distrust
of the people. They are afraid to trust
them, and consequently seek to get in
advance through personal influences on
their part or the thoughtlessness of
those who sign their papers, pledges to
vote against the lottery revenue pro-
position. They played this trick on
members of the late Legislature, whom
they attempted to bind in advance be-
fore the lottery matter bad been dis
cussed, before u single word pro Tgcon
had been said about it; and when cer-
tain legislators found that they had
been tricked with this pledge, and that
the proposition as it came before them
was one they thought ought to be sub
mitted to the people, the Ants de-
nouBeed them iEs the most violent man
ner.
They arc now beying to play tile same
trick on the people. They know that
the average man is weak about signing
petitions, pledges, ETC.; and that when
one is presented to him and strongly
pressed by personal TREND ne Tar COO
often signs ills name or gives piedge

Political.

Republican caucus was held at Chaeheres
Hall, Opelnusas, Sept. 4th, 1890, composed OF
tWenty-one members of the Republican Exec
utive Committee and other leading members
of the party. Mr. Jules l.. Chaeher6 was
elected Chairman and T. b. Brooks Secretary.
The President explained the object of the
meeting, which was to condemn the action OF
NJ Lastrapes, President of the 9th Congress
ional Committee, which committee met at
Opelonsas on tue Both of August, wherein N.
Lastrapes through the instrumentality Of
forged documents, suppressed the will and
voice Of the people Of this Congressional Dis
trict.
Mr.. A G. Poulet, member of the 9th Con-
gressional Committee from Acadia parish,
as present and condemned in the most en-
phatie language the action of Lastrapes in
making use of his name without his consent
or knowledge.
A committee of three was appointed to wait
ON NJ Lastrapes and request him to convene a
meeting of the Republican Parish Executive
Committee; after which the following reso-
lutions were adopted;
We, the undersigned members of this eau
Gus, do soleinnly testify that in our opinion
the action of N. Lastrapes, President of the
9th Congressional District Committee, By al
lowing the use of forged proxies, one of A. G.
Poulet aud another Of Willie Colas, deserves
the strongest condemnation. We have the
written statements of A. e. Poniet and Willie
COlas that said proxies were signed and used
without their consent.
We condemn his action in imposing Nnma
Ferrand. a bogus member, as a member of
said committee.
We approve of the course pursued by DR..
pHarrison and bis colleagues in Withdrawing
from the committee meeting as soon as they
discovered thai forgeries were committed.
Resolved, that we heartily condemn the ac-
tion of N. Lastrapes and fail to recommend
him hereafter as entitled to our confidence
