Who is Responsible |?

| Desiring and anxious to unity and
harmonize the two factions Of the Dem
ocratic element in Louisiana, Associate
Justice McEnery wrote letter to Col
| Crandell, Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Executive Committee,
| in which he suggested the plopriety of
calling another State convention,
through the modus operandi customarily
pursued by the party. Col. Crandell
Immediately sat down and wrote COM
munication to Mr.. kruttchnitt chair
man of the Foster State Central Com
gestiun made by Judge McEnery, re-
guage Of Col. C.'s letter is respectful
and-as we conceive-in becoming
diplomatic vein in every respect.
The purpose which prompted it is one
Of vital importance to the Democratic
party, and as many believe, of sacra-
mental necessity to the continued as
tendency of the white race in Louisiana.
Nothing more fair, liberal or magnani-
nous could he expected or required Of
Judge McEnery. His proposition is
satisfactory to the masses, and the re-
fusal of the Foster Committee, to give
it respectful consideration, can but
serve to cool the ardor of many who
had heretofore intended to support
the Foster ticket. We are mistaken in
the temper of the people if it serve not
to unity the democracy as etfectualy as
though Il new convention had been con-
sented to. Every man who thinks can
now see, more plainly than heretofore,
that the Fosterites are desperately bent
.on disrupting the party, Dotwlthstand-
=, T., t,of t>nn c,l.
reason points to their final success.
derstand that the hue and cry SO Justify
raised against the lottery revenue
amendment, whilst honestly INDUCED
in by many of them, was not the inspir-
ing and animating purpose of their
leaders. These harped upon it vocifer-
ously because they saw it ELECTED res
ponsive echo, in many honest hearts, in
the resouuding din OF which, they hoped
to conceal their morbid greed for office.
But the lottery revenue amendment has
been forever and completely eliminated
from discussion - from consideration.
1t has "gone glimmering through the
past" beyond the power of recall. 1t is
no longer a thorn III the flesh of demo-
crats-a text and pretext for vaulting
aspirants and jaded mngwumps. As it
comprised all their available capital in
the election, its elimination leaves them
without a platform. Ii they persist in
the McEnery Democratic tick
ct, it is evident that they mean to dis
rupt the party, at the cost of white su-
premacy in Louisiana. Democrats of
St. Landry, if for season, your atfec-
tion for your old party has been par
TALLY alienated, pause and reflect that
the cause of the quarrel has been re-
moved forever, and that there no longer
exists any reason why you should not
now be reconciled in the old bonds of
party fraternity.

The lottery organs are always pointing to
Republican papers in this State which are sup

the Republican papers. We do not know OF a

publican, however, is a strong antf-lottery pa
per, but that is the only one we know OIL

New Orleans. Feb. 6, 1892.
At meeting of the executive committee of
the Democratic State Central Committee
held this day, the following preamble aud
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the Democratic State Nomnat-
ing Convention adopted the following rosolu-
ton:
Resolved, That the Stste Central Com
mittee to be appointed by this convention be
and they are hereby authorized, if possible,
to make any and all agreements and arrange
ments with the Pro and Anti-Lottery Demo-
Gratis for the submission of the said amend
mont to primary election of white Demo-
cratic voters at a day to be fixed and under
rules to be agreed to by both parties, and the
State Central Committe is directed to use
every honorable means to bring about a set
tlement Of this question in accordance with
the power herein conferred ;" and
Whereas, on the formation Of this exccu-
tive committee the State Central Committee
vested it with full power in the premises !;
aud
Whereas. by the action Of Mr.. John A..
Morris for himself and his associates, declar-
ing, through tho public press. that he and
they will not accept said revenue amend
ment, even though iG be adopted by tie peo-
pie of tue State of Louisiana, it has been rem
dered useless to make the effort to have the
Lottery Revenue Amendment submitted to
white primaries aud
declaration upon the part Of Mr.. Morris
for himself and his associates to be sincere,
aud desiring to set this ve4ed question at
rest, be it
Resolved, That this executive committee
hereby notifies the voters of the Democratic
party throughout the State of Louisiana
that this executive committee will cause all
the Democratic tickets to be voted at the
general election of April 10, 1892, to have
printed upon them the words Against the
ievees. schools, charities, pensions, drainage,
lotteries aud general fund amendment y
and that the said ticket shall not bear upon
them the words, ''For the levees, schools,
charities, pensions, drainage, lotteries and
general fund amendment"
Be it further resolved, that we suggest to
aud urge upon the respective parish aud sell
atorial nominating conventions of the regu-
lar Democratic party to especially instruct
aud direct their nominees for the General
Assembly OF the State of Louisiana to vote
against any call whatever for constitutional
convention.

The Result.

| The Judicial and Senatorial COnven.
ton assembled at Crowley on Wednes-
day last at .. III. and made the follow
ing nominations:
For Judge, w. C. Perrault of Opelou-
Sas;
For District Attorney, Jno. n. Ogden,
| the present incumbent;
For State Senators, Chs. j. Thompson
of Opelousas, aud Gustave L. Fontenot
of Crowley.
These complete our local and District
Democratic ticket. The political seers
and sages can now begin to be identi-
fed. Some who had the gift of pro-
phccy aud knew who would be selected !;
others who hare the gift and can pre-
dict who may be elected, and still others,
whose prophetic vision has not been,
and is not so clear, are nevertheless sa
pient enough to shake their heads be-
cause they clearly discern ii cat in the
meal tub, or blood on the moon. We
say to all, the ticket is good one, and
whether it could have been or should
have been made different, is not the
question. 1t is what it is, by the grace
of the delegates and the party, and
those who are desirons of party success
should support it. Every voter cannot
get a cousin on it, nor can he always
get his personal preference. Every one
should be ready to give and take in
such matters.
Looking over the entire ticket, one
acquainted with the nominees must be
struck 10y the high average intelligence
of it, Every member on it is good
representative of the political strength
of the Democratic party in the parish
and district. Nothing further can he
expected. 1t becomes our duty now to
go to work and elect it. We think it
can be done, and know of no reason
why it should not be.
Fosterism is extending itself to its
own waits, but the Democrats of st.
Landry should foster their own off
spring.

The Guillotille

Gov. Nichols has recently stretched
forth his potent arm to execute his de-
crees and the heads of his unpliant and
faithful subjects have, here and there,
been made to fall in the basket Sus-
pecting that our fellow -citiZen, Mr.. j. j.
Thompson, might not be made of the
stuff that would tolerate false election
returns, so as to declare Foster elected
SO far as the vote of St. Landry is con-
cerned, the governor dismissed him from
the office OF canvasser of election re-
turns and appointed Mr.. Chas. f. Burr
in his stead. Mr.. Thompson was pro-
nounced anti during the pendency of the
lottery proposition and is a member of
the Farmers Alliance. 1t was known
that his services as returning officer had
always been faithful and honest, and it
was we'll known that he would continue
to discharge his duty in the same way.
1t may have surprised some to learn
that, in the face of these well recognized
facts, lie had been discharged from Of
flee. Many still ask why he was dis
missed, and no one can assign but one
reason, which is that he could not be
counted Oh to falsify election returns.
Ii there was any other cause for his sud-
den decapitation the people here are ig-
norant of it. 1t may be that his Excel
lency has discovered an efficient way of
winning votes to McEnery. OF one
thing we are tolerably certain, and it is
this: that whilst his new appointee may
discharge his duties as honestly as Mr..
Thompson did, he certainly will not do
it more honestly or more efficiently. IT
the governor has appointed him to do
any dirty work, we feel safe in saying
disappointment will wait upon the ven
ture.

Cultivate Rice.

The suggestion OF Messrs. Dan Tai
mage's Sons & Co. to cotton growers
that rice be adopted as crop on lands
withdrawn from the culture of the sta
pie has attracted widespread attention.
Enquiries iu regard to the matter have
grown SO numerous that they have
printed little phamphlet, giving hints
as to seed, planting, cultivatlDg, har-
vestiug and marketing. The document
is brief, but full enough for the guild
ance of any practical planter and can
be obtained free of charge of either Of
their respective houses in New York,
Charleston or New Orleans. 1t is said
that rice will yield over $4,000 to $500
per acre; cost of planting $4,000 to
$500; the difference in outcome is due
to character of cultivation or season.
This year prices have been high and re-
suits in many instances far beyond the
larger amount noted. The fact that the
production is far below the require
meuts of the United States would seem
to be an additional reason for at least
giving it trial. 1t is near the time of
preparation for the first planting, hence
prompt action should be taken in order
to get full benefit Of the season.

The Louisiana Review, Gen. l.. Jas
tremski's paper, says in regard to the
plan of tho boilers to count out the
Democrats
THE design of the boilers to count in their
ticket has been made more apparent by the re-
fllsal OF Registrar Flynn to state his policy in
the appoir tment of commissioners of election.
His attitude, the rem oval of returning officers,
the appointment of extreme partisans to fill the
vacancies and the reticence OF the holters' or
gans on the subject, leave little doubt in the
public mind that the attempt will be made to
trample upon the rights OF the Democrats at
the election. To permit such conspiracy to
be consummated would be to tamcly submit to
the establishment of a dynasty in the State,
which would continur itself in office at its
pleasure or designate its successors. Louisi-
anlans are not made Of material that will allow
such things to be done and will take the neces-
sary precautions to obtain fair play"

sary precautions to obtain tair play that
