We have heard a great deal of criti
cisms 10 the past about the law en-
powering the governor to appoint Po-
lice Jurors-although it depended very
| much as to whose OK was gored at the
time, but inasmuch as the partisaDs of
the present governor were quite pro-
fuse in their professions that the peo-
pie should be permitted to elect their
Police Jurors, we suppose we will soon
be permitted to chose our parish legis-
lature by ballot, in the good old Demo
cratic way, especially in view of the
| fact that during the late campaign an
| address ssto the Democrats of st. Lam
dry" signed by IN. L. Swords, Chair
man Democratic Parish Committee" ("
which was kept standing in the Foster
orgau of this parish during several
weeks, contained the following asser-
tions and announcement:
4th. The Democrats should vote against
McEnery, because he is in favor of boss rute
instead of the rule of the people. The Dem
oerats of st. Landry have not forgotten Nc
Enery's violated pledge to them. Relying
upon his word to their then Senator, 7. S.
Fontenot, they chose their police jurors by
primary election, but McEnery went back
on his word and appointed police jurors at
| the dictation of st. Landry boss. Cover
nor Nichols made the same promise and
| fulfilled it. The Democracy OF st. Landry
want to have voice in appointing their po-
lice jurors, who have larger taxing power
| than the State Legislature. If McEnery is
elected, they may rest assured their police
Jurors will be named by the local bosses,
while if Foster is elected, he will follow the
just and wise course of Governor Nichols and
allow the tax payers representation in this
great taxing power.

! several days in New Iberia this week
i'll consultation with Fosterite leaders,
the outcome of which was u notification
of contest, served upon General Avery.
of his seat in the Senate, to which he
has been elected by majority of gil.
The points of attack, on the part of
Domec, it seems, will be the Jeane-
retta box and the third ward box In
this parish. The first on account of
So called irregularities, caused by the
failure Of the Fosterites to deliver the
ballot box and the poll book at that
precinct and in the third ward it is
alleged that negroes voted who were
not registered. We will give further
pointer to Mr. Domec and invite him
to also bring into question the Patont-
vile box. However, in the event of
his failure to do so, Gen. Avery will
undoubtedly accomodate him and his
instigators.
We hail with pleasure the opportu-
nifty to show to the world the manner
in which one set of white Democrats in
Louisiana, having the election machi-
nery and the power of the State at
their back, can debase themselves to
swindle faction of their own party
and stiffle the voice of majority. To
put an end to it, we favor exposing the
dirty work in all its hideousness to
the world and keep it exposed until
the perpetrators are overwhelmed by
their own disgraceful deeds.
The Fosterites have invited the ex-
posure before the Senate of the State.
Let it be made with determination.
