The lottery press of the State has
grown frantic and blue in the face in
its endeavors to prove that it is pure
Democracy to sell our State to a gi-
gantic and grinding monopoly for
the next twenty-five years; and still,
nobody believes it. They also claim
that it was entirely Democratic for
this monopoly to buy up two.thirds
of the legislature and force an m.
democratic measure upon a Demo-
cratic people, which has resulted in
sowing dissension and strife in the
Democratic party Of the State. We
cant see it in that light; and We

Of louisiana Democrats will fail to

Sam McEnry For Governor.

While in Monroe last week we
heard it talked quite frequently that
ex. Governor S. ID. McEnry would
be the candidate for governor Of
Louisiana on the lottery ticket. In
McEnry's message to the legislature
10 1884 and 1888 he posed as a
staunch opponent Of the lottery; and
unless that gambling Institution is
assured that he has undergone a won
derful change Of sentiment on this
question you can bet your bottom
dollar that the lottery will never try
to put him in the gubernatorial chair.
We sh III see what we shall see.
Time revealeth all things, and it
shows up wonderful changes in opin-
ions of men, too, sometimes.-Farm-
eryille Gazette.
This may be accepted as the truth
of the business. When a lottery
paper Of the most rabid type hoisted
his name at it's masthead, we felt
well satisfied McEnry was sound on
the Morris question. The lottery
men in this parish are all McEnry
men and some Of them in their zeal
for Sam pretend that the lottery is
a matter of secondary consideration
with them. They want to unity che
Democratic party. This is truly a.
most praiseworthy c~ause,abut we don't
think McEnry is exactly the man.
calculated to perform this feat. If
we mistake not the temper Of the
peopleef Vermilion parish they have
10 the past suffered enough at the
hands Of the proscriptive personal
government of Sam McEnry and
Jim Houston to shudder at the
thought of its reinanguration. They
have not forgotten how completely
their wishes were ignored By the
]uuta Of political schemers like Burke
and Houston, who ruling through
McEnry, as automatically as the
Gear Of Russia, regarded this parish
as an outlying province whose
inhabitants we're deserving ONO con-
sideration at the hands of the gov.
eminent. Heaven forbid that Nc.
EDry should be held responsible for
all the sins of his administrator
Il is enough to know that the
government of Jim Houston through
Sam McEnry for politicians of the
Burke and Houston stripe is not ac
ceptable to the people Of this parish.
These are facts, however, unpalatable
they may be, and McEnry is respon.
sible for their being.

One Of the most important acts of
the session was the conference agree.
ment made BY a committee from the
Union and one from the Democratic
Anti Lottery State Executive com.
mittee. The Alliance has unani
mously endorsed Pres. Z. s. Adams
for Governor. As the conference
was of a secret nature, but very
little of its workings have been made
public. but it is asserted on good
authority that the compromise was
carried by a vote of Is against %;
the Alliance having the Governor,
Treasurer and Saperintende ut Of
Public Education; the balance of
the ticket to be named BY the League.
This combination gives the farm.
ers a dominant positlon 10 the State
election, and as the entire Alliance
has acquiesced 10 the arrangement it
must be apparent to all that the fate
of the lottery is sealed, as Capt.
Adams makes no secret Of his anti
lottery proelivities or his adherence
to the Democratic party. His pledge,
regarding his candidacy for the Gov
ernorship, is as follows:
| pledge myself if nominated and ell
ected to the high and honorable DO.
sition of governor of Louisiana that
| will strive to my utmost ability to
guard the farmers, but will also
