Impending Danger to the Democracy

n. Q. flcaJ une.
At a democratic barbecue and mass
meeting held at Delhi, in Franklin par
ish, on Wednesday, congressman Boat
ner made a speech that was peculiarly
striking and significant. The meeting
was under the auspices OF tue pro lot
terry league of the parish, and Mr.. Boat
ner, when he responded to an invitation
. TO speak, announced himself as opposed
to the lottery amendment but he de-
clared that there were issues and inter-
ests at stake in the state campaign OF
vastly more Importance than the lot
terry question. That which transcends
all others is the safety and integrity OF
the democratic party, which the lottery
question is being used to disrupt and
destroy.
Mr.. Boatner denounced the combiua-
ton which has been entered into 10y the
farmers alliance and the Il ti-lottery
faction to parcel out the state offices
aud to control the state administration
as q movement fraught with the great
est danger to the democratic party OF
Louisiana, because a faction or profess
ed democrats had ~bargained with a Sc
cret political order to sell out the polltl-
cal control of the State for a share OF
the spoils.
The presel walton OF the integrity and
supremacy of the democratic party III
Louisiana, in the estimation of this able
aud vigorous statesman, who Is already
making a worthy record in the national
congress, is of vastly more Importance
than the adoption or rejection of the
revenue amendment. He showed that
the alliance, to which it had been
sought to sell the control OF the state,
is as much opposed to the democratic
party as to the republican, for its chief
representatives have openly denounced
both. No democrat, knowing the true
nature of the alliance as a secret polltl-
cal organization, can, 10 the opinion OF
congressman BOatner, remain in the al
lance.
What are we to think of the profess
ed democrats who have been foremost
in the movement to join with the alli-
ance for a division:of the States spOiis 7
Either they were ignorant of what Is
so plainly set forth by Mr.. Boatner,
and which has been 80 often declared
by the leaders of the alliance in every
part of the Union, OF they knowingly
imperiled the safety Of the democratic
party for selfish and personal advan-
tage. They are place hunters and not
good democrats. We are glad to see
that so able a democrat as congress-
mar BoatDer has sounded the alarm
and declared the danger that has SO
seriously assaulted the integrity of the
party. His warning is a ringing one
aud does not come a moment too s0On.

Time passes. 1t has now been more
than a month since the Farmers Union
convention was held at Lafayette, but
not a word has been given out for the
information of the people in regard to
the resolutions passed by hat body. 1t
was also intended to keep the terms of
the agreement between the alliance and
the ants a secret, and nothing would
now be known of it if the enterprise of
d newspaper correspondent had not Civ
ell it to the public. These are dark Ian

Baton Rouge Advocate: The alliance
leaders declare in the most positive
terms that their order will not support
Mr.. Cleveland if he is the democratic
nominee for president. Would it not
be o rather awkward predicament for
the democracy of Louisiana to elect q
governor who would lend the influence
of the State administration against their
candidate for president, and secure its
electoral vote for PETER or some other
long-bearded ex-republicanq Give us

The following, which we reproduce
from the Baton Rouge Advocate, is a
very clever rejoiner to an assertion of
one of the Alliance organs OF the State
on the question of the adoption of tile
lottery venue amendments:

not want their daughters welded to a race OF
bribe takers."-IIomer Alliance Farmer.
