Our Mexicanized Anti friends when

offers to pay $1,25O,00O to the State per

is connected with one of the most prom

pller OF Hennen's digest, now the stand

Hood, the famous Confederate General,

The Franklin New Era fears that the

ttery plank out of the platforms The
New Era Is Informed that nobody ex-
poets to put such plank in the State

effort Will probably be made to induce
the democracy there assembled to sub
NIT the amendment to white primaries,
as a tinality, and thus have it settled bV
the intelligent voters Of the State.
The McEnery vote has thus far ex-
ceeded the Adams vote in the State by
nearly two to one. These are all white
votes, aud the figures show how the
democracy stands on issues that are
now before the people. The majority
IS Eow about $1,000, and l. will not be-
overcome in the parishes which are vet
TO vote. We are not surprised that The
antls are afraid Of white primaries, and
they will no doubt vigorously oppose

OF the anti-lottery and anti-Adams peo-

This is about as fair and honest as the
