Curious,

| Since the present parish and district
campaign opened, we have been little
curious to learn how it is that the Farm
ers' Alliance has taken no steps to shape
the campaign and to conduct it under
its own colOrs. We know it started out
as a non-political organization, but we
have seen that it has become essentially
political, Its speakers and its press told
us of its strength, aud as it was a secret
organization we presumed they spoke
by the card. When the time came, in
stead of acting on its own basc-instead
OF reMaining a distinct and sclf-dircct-
ing body-~:t permitted itself to be dc
coycd from its declared purposes and at
last to become the stay and support OF
ants, between whom ard itself thclc
existed no community of thought or
purpose,
The ants bad nothing but a political
object in view, which was TO get or to
keep in office. How, then, could an hon
est non-political organization be cor
rectly said to have anything in common
witt simple place huntersy Every one
knows that al. TIE antis had to stand on
was opposition to the lottery revenue
amendment. Every one knows that they
made it, and it alone, a spit-ball which
they indecently elected upon every move
and attributed motive Of others. Upon
this alone they Ste0d whilst Turing and
cnticing the Alliance from its own OBJ
jects of organization.
The consequence of all this is the fact
that the Alliance as an organization has
never yet taken its stand on any ques-
ton, except the one covered by the Will
son resolution. It did attempt to bind
it's members on the amendment, but that
was illegal. And as to the Wilson reso-
luton, what do we see? Simply this:
the Alliance, which passed it, is contin-
ually and persistently besiegcd and i'm
portuned by the antis-all outsiders-to
annul it. And why? That they may Sc
cure the votes which, by repeated an
nOuncements, the farmers had declared
they would not give them.
We say we have been Curious to learn
how it is that such an honest, common
sense organization will suffer itself to be |
,ritled with by designing ants, who can
claim no membership with it, when |
avery member knows full we'll that his |
,ote is all that is wanted. Farmers, go |
% work and make ont a ticket of your |
)wn, if you must go into politics for we |
hink that the chances are at least equal |
hat you will put out a more satisfactory
,ne than that which we all know is the
creature of the combine.

The anti-lottery newspapers are try
ing to make point of harping on the
statement that the McEnery vote repre-
sents the negro parishes, and that all
the white parishes are going the other
way. The fact is that up to date the
MeEnery ticket has received total Of
twice as many votes Gall white) as the
show very decisive majority of white
votes in the entire State. This will be
apparent to the dullest understanding
when it is stated that the city of New
Orleans, which McEnery carried soldIy
and by 1900 majority, contains one
third of the total white population of
the State, and if lie carries parishes rep
resenting half the balance of the white
population, as he may do, he will have
two-thirds of the total white vote of
the State. The result will at least put
to shame the bold assertions Of the anti
newspapers that their side represents
majority of the white population

Gov S. D. McEnerys Letter of Ac
ceptance.

Judge McEnery's letter of acceptance
of the nomination rendered him by the
Democratic Convention lately held al
| Baton Rouge is now before the people.
A careful pelusal of it will convince
any one not Dlindly welded to prejudice
| that he has met every point raised 10y
! his opponents and dealt fairly with each
that he evades nothing involved in
the present campaign, and speaks in
kind and generous terms Of those who
Indignantly oppose him. Every Demo
crat will see, OH reading it, that in voting
for or against him, he can vote for or
against the lottery revenue amendment,
according to his individual convictions.
We have heretofore SO stated, and it
must be perfectly apparent to every
thinking man that such is the case. He
therefore logically concludes that " it
should not be made a party question:
He says:
There is evidence from official sources that
the State is sadly in need Of money Each year
increases her necessities. The addition to the
assessment rolls in increased valucsidOes not af-
ford IL basis upon which to raise a sufficient
revenue, with the limitation of six mills exist
ing in the present State Constitution.
The question then III the submission OF the
revenue amendment as means OF raising Il
revenue for the State Is q serious one, address
cd to the individual voter. Will lie accept the
amendment, relieving himself from additional
burden of several mills on the dollar, will he
reject it and submit at no distant day to an ad-
ditonal tax to meet the constantly growing
necessities of in efficient school SYSTEM lcveeS
and charitable institutions, and rehahilltatc the
financial condition of the State !
This is the question for the people to
reflect upon and to vote upon. Gov.
McEnery holds, and very justly, that the
Democratic party is confronted with this
and other enumerated disturbances
alien to its organization" and that it
will be disrupted and irretrievably lost
if the members OF the party do not stand
by it and uphold and maintain its integ-
rity." He deprecates the tloughtless
threats Of shotguns, WiDchesters and
counting out, and justly says they can
not be made to supply the place of rea-
son and logic. He says that call that |
the candidates Of the Democratic party !
have ever asked or now ask is free bal |
lot and fair count This they undoubt-
edly will have unless they are lacking in |
manhood" We are not prepared to be- |
icve they are. Every citizen should
cad the letter of acceptance.
