The proposition to make 81

putting the gentlemen's names OPP

SPY authority" signed his name
to it, as also did Mr.. Francis p.
Stubs, of Ouachita. They then
informed Mr.. Fitzpatrick that they
felt that they could not reject the
proposition which was before the
conference committee, submitting
the two tickets to white primary,
but that this agreement with Mr..
Fitzpatrick made the election Of
Murphy J. Foster certain; that
they. would, therefore, 60 into their
State Central Committee and urge
the acceptance Of the proposition
then pending, and that they would
get Mr.. Foster to do so.
Messrs. kruttshnitt and Stubs
stated that this written agreement
would receive the endorsement and
approval of Murphy j. Foster, and
then Mr.. Stubs and Mr.. Fitz-
patrick could jointly deposit it in
the Whitney National Bank, to be
drawn out only upon their joint
signatures, or in their presence.
Mr.. Kruttshutt assured MIR. Fitz.
patrick that the agreement would
be faithfully and honestly carried
ont and that he would rather lose
his right arm than that Murphy j.
Foster should go back on 1t; that
they wore authorized to act for Mr..
Foster. and Mr.. Foster was cOgni-
zant of what they were doing.
After some further conversation,
the meeting broke up, Mr.. Fitz-
patrick retuned to the McEnery
headquarters and informed the Elk.
ecutive Committee exactly what
had taken place.
On Monday, Feb. p, Mr.. Fitz-
patrick sent word to Attorney Cen
eral Rogers that he desired to see
him, and the Attorney General
called in pursuance Of This request;
ho wa, Informed by Mr.. Fitzpat-
rick that the whole matter was at
An end. Attorney General Rogers
informed Mr.. Fitzpatrick that he
had a copy Of the agreement in his |
pocket and would give it to him if
lie desired it. Mr.. Fitzpatrick re-
plied in the negative, and said that |
lie did not desire copy. Attorney
General Rogers suggested to Mr..
Fitzpatrick that he should see the
Hon. Murphy j. Foster and have q
ak with HIM. Mr.. Fitzpatrick |
leclined to do so, and there the
natter ended.
The day following the publication

the increased assessment. the heav-
Ter licenses, the new levee taxes,
etc., all accomplished, they insisted,
through their representative, Mich
oils. After having shown that he
90 largely increased the amount
drawn from the people through
taxation, they cannot well pretend
to-day that they have favored, or
do favor, q low tax rate. Tie
Nichols administration has not
spoken in favor Of higher taxes,
it is true, but it has none the less
ordered them.
As for what is to be done in the
future, that depende upon the
people. The Times-Democrat has
always been opposed to . high tax
alton. and for that reason support
ed the revenue amendment, because
We firmly believed that it would
do away with some Of the burdens
that have been created under Mich
oils and enable US in time to reduce
the State tax rate. Now that the
amendment is dead that is scarcely
possible; but all know at the same
lime, from experience, that If Nc
Emery is Governor there will be no
increase in taxation unless the peo-
Die wish Il; aud that If Foster hap
oens to step in he will follow the
policy pursued by Nichols. and
That that is every merchant and tax
aver in New Orleans, every plant
4 and farmer in the alluvial dis
riot knows-higher taxes on IL
