TO the Democrats of Lafourche A faction
of the Democratic Executive Committee of
LafOurche having, as am informed through
delegates to the Baton Rouge Convention cal
led for Dec. l6, 1891 take this opportunity
to advise the public that decline the said

1t is quite plain that the fair-mind-
ed people of this State, regardless of
their opinions on the lottery question,
do not intend to tolerate the black
guardism which the enemies of Judge
McEnery indulged in during the cam
paign of 1888, and there is reason to
believe that some of the leaders of the
Adamsites are just now engaged in an
attempt to spike the mudcuns of their
organs IN order to prevent their side
from being overwhelmed by the in.lic-
nation which the false and malicious
attacks on the personal integrity Of
Judge McEnery has aroused The eff
fort to connect Judge McEnery with
the Burke defalcation has disgusted
the people, and it is denounced by all
decent men from one end of Louisiana
to tie other.

1t mnst be said in justice to Mr..
Mills that he has, from the beginning,
conducted his campaign for the Speak,
ership in a perfectly fair manner. con-
seqHently. tie stories circulated hr ,h,
New York San and other thinly dis
guised protection organs. have only
had the effect Of making him still
stronger as a candidate. The cam
paign liar is also at work, and his
latest effnrt is report that Mr.. Mills
recently declared that Mr.. Crisp was j,
protectionist. As matter OF course,
Mr.. Mills was prompt to deny this
statement, because he readily under
stood that the object of the report was
to iniure his candidacy by engendaring
hostile feeling among the friends Of
his opponent, and at the same time,
make it appear as though he was en-
gagged in attacking the sincerity Of Mr..
Crisp on the tariff question. What Nj.
Mills did say was that the protection
lists preferred Mr.. Crisp to himself. and
this is true as is shown by the fact that
the New York Sun is doing what it can
to defeat Mr.. Mills and to elect the
Georgia congressman.-Daily States.
