QUEER sroRY FROM LOUISIANA.

The LOTTERY Faction of the Democracy
Investing in Arms and Ammunition.
NEW ORLEANS, LA, Feb. 5.-The steam
ship Ell Paso has arrived from New York.
Her cargo includes forty cases Of Winches-
ter rifles and thirteen boxes of cartridges,
addressed to "a. W. Crandall, chairman
democratic campaign committee, New
Orleans, La" In an interview concerning
these arms Col ,Crandall says:
Eyes, it is a fact that these arms have
come to New Orleans addressed to me as
chairman of the democratic executive COM
mittee. There has been absolutely no at
tempt made to conceal their shipment,
and there is likewise no effort being made
by us to disguise why the arms have been
secured we are providing our
selves with them simply to
protect ourselves against any scheme, armed
or otherwise, TO deny US a free ballot and
fair count in the coming election. Since
the nominating convention at Baton
Rouge we have been met on all sides with
statements from the friends and supporters
of Foster that it was war t. the knife and
knife to the hilt, and the machinery in the
hands OF the existing STATE administration
was to be used In counting in the F. ster
ticket aud in counting out the McEnery
ticket.
Believing, therefore, that the state mill
tia and the election machinery under the
control Of the present state administration
are to be employed in frustrating, il
necessary, the free expression of public will,
we determined. on the principle that an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound Of
cure. to take such means as would protect
us from an illegal and unwarranted inter-
ference with our rights under the law.
las | said before, we are not endeavoring
Co conceal anything whatever. The arms
have been openly shipped, and there will be
another consignment shortly. of which our
friends may take notice il they so desire.
There is no intention on the part
of the regular democrats to precipi-
tate trouble. There is 40 desire
to provoke the shedding of blood.
1t has been our aim to secure perfectly
peaceable election and to abide by the re-
suit. All we have asked for, and all we
mean to secure, is the privilege of every suf-
fragist to vote as he chooses in the coming
election, and the assurance that his vote
will be counted as it IS cast.
''We have never intended to bulldoze or
bluff, but we are firm in our determination
not to be bulldozed or bluffed. Our prepa-
rations are simply with view to insuring
an honest election, and we have merely ac-
cepted in earnest the threats made at Baton
Rouge by the state house and Foster ring
that the administr alton will elect the Foster
ticket, even if resort TO an unfair ballot and
dishonest means are necessary-just what
we are determined shall not be done, unless
we are disappointed in the manhood of this
ste ka -

causen
Mr.. Mills, for the first time, indicated in
public speech the line of action 70 be fol-
lowed by himself and friends in the present
congress regarding the tariff. His first
words were in reference to the check which
tariff reform had received in the House of
its friends. at time when to waver is dan
gerous.
He declared his intention to oppose the
proposed halfway and stand-still measures
that some democratic leaders advocated.
He secuted the idea of going back to the
tariff of 1888, and accepting that as a final
settlement.
He said that the democrats had been
fighting high tariff for thirty years, and
he was for carrying on the war-eternal,
uncompromisiug war.
AT the close Of his speech Mr.. Mills said
II will follow wherever the flag points to
fair trade. l will follow wherever the flag
goes, no matter who carries it, and | will

TIE ENCAMPMENT QUESTION.
There May Be Litigation Before 1t Is

There May Be Litigation Before 1t Is
Settled.
ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 5-The military ad-
visory board, after visiting Griffin and
Warm Springs, have taken a recess until
the latter part of next week, when they
will decide upon the site of the permanent
military encampment. The contest is be-
tween Griffin and Warm Springs. Both
OF these places have made excellent bids,
and the board is divided as to which shall
be selected, though it is believed Griffin will
get it.
Chickamauga claims that she paid S. 00O
for the encampment last year, and that
only half of an encampment was held; that
by reason Of the encampment being cut
short the company lost money and did not
get the full consideration of their subscrip
tiou of $1,000. The Chickamauga company
demand to be reimbursed, either by
placing the encampment there or
by the board retunding them their
subscription, OF such damages as they sus-
tanned. Upon this proposition the board
has not acted, but they are inclined to dis
regard it. Altogether, the board have some
vexed questions before them, and while
they are instructed to select a permanent
camp, there may be litigation over the mat
ter before IL is settled.

TILLMANIsM IN CAROLINA.

Delegation to Chicago.


Delegation to Chicago.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 5.-There does
not seem to be much doubt now about the re-
election Of Gov. Tillmsn. who In 1890, beat
the regular democrats. It is learned that
the opponents Of Tillman recently sent out
q circular to all the prominent straight
out democrats in the state call
ing a conference to meet at Column
bia last night. The conference some
how failed 10 materialize; not more than a
handful being present. The anti-T iIlmau-
ties talk of holding a convention early In
the spring, but the trouble seems to be that
they cannot unite on a candidate TO run
against the present governor who, il he is
opposed, will be opposed by his own people
inside Of the ranks of the alliance.
The success of Tillmanism means election
OF anti-Cleveland delegates to the Chicago
convention. The Tillman idea is western
man with alliance tendencies if possible; if
not, then Gov. Hill. The alliance has all
the machinery Of the Democratic party in
Its power in this state. and will elect its own
candidates.
