Hypocrisy, But Not Democra-
Cy.

Tho McEaeryites Of this psriss,
who since tho last few weeks seem
about lost, and do not seem
to know exactly what to DO have
been amusing the peopte of this
parish. They called a primary
election for the 10 inst, but the
President Of their committee has
postponed it. They called q mass
meeting to take place in this town
but it fell Oh the same day of the
Foster mass meeting which will
come of at Breaux Bridge, and
knowing as they do. the feeling of
the Democrats of this parish, they
knew the people would go to the
Foster mass meeting and theirs
would consequently be a dead fai-
lure, 80 they thought it wise to
postponed it. and we believe they
did right or they would have
shown their weakness.
They held a meeting of their
parish committee at Break
Bridge last Sunday and 80 did the
Fosterites. The two committees
appointed subcommittee to fix
the polling places and to select the
commissioners for the election of
the "a inst.
The McEnery committee tried
to show patriotic hand by pro-
posing to the Foster committee to
harmonic the Democratic party
in the parish, which was met by Q
prompt and direct answer that
they are willing to compromise,
but only after the PRONUNCIATION
Of the primary election of the 20
inst, which was correct, and which
We approve heartily. There should
be no compromise until after the
primaries of the % inst.
But were they sincere and ho-
nest in their proposition, We be-
lieve not, as if they were so snxi-
Gus to compromise they would
have waited until after the prima-
~ election. We believe if the
Foster committee had accepted
their proposition they would have
insisted on some conditions that
would have forced them to refuse
the compromise.
After their proposition was 30
copied to take force after the cleo
ton Of the %, these McEneryites
hurried themselves to refx their
parish primaries for the rs inst,
four days after the state primaries
and two days before the promul-
cation of the result
They have also inserted the fol-
lowing in their qualification: "On-
ly white Democrats who voted for
Nichols and Cleveland in 1883
are eligible" Great Caesar, what
cheek! and what about those who
affiliated with the Republicans
and the negroesp what about those
democrats who stole 200 votes in
the 9th ward of this parish for
Wsrmoth, are they eligible? Oh,
hypocrisy! the people know the
democracy of these so-cslled de-
mocrats and all your subterfuge
and tricks will avail to nothing.
You are doomed to defeat, and de-
feated you will be.

The grading system introduced by ex-War-

already noticeable. The stripes are not

THEY WE'RE MISLED.

Pinkertons Didn't Know They
Were Going to Homestead.
CHICAGO, July 10.-A number of the
Pinkertop men who were in the fight at
Homestead returned to this city last
evening. Gne of them told reporter a
thrilling story of their experience on
the balges.
ut was a place of torment" said he.
MEN were lying around wounded and
bleeding and piteously begging for
some one to give them drink of
water, but no one dared to get drop,
although water was all around US. We
dare not move for fear of sharpshooters
OH shore. We were hungry. too, al
though there was plenty to eat Oh the
bargeS, but the fear of being
shot in going for it over
came the cravings of hunger.
And then the booming of the can
non, the bursting of acknowledgements the
burning oil OH the river, and the yells
and shouts on the shore made our posi-
ton and fortunes appalling. 1t is a
wonder we did not all go crazy or COM
nit suicide. Some of the men were
greatly affected. and on our way here
one man became crazy and kept shout
ing: oh, don't kill me, for Gods sake
don't kill me- and when near Cleve-
land he jumped from the train and, it is
said. was killed."
The men were all taken from Pitts
burg to New York, from which city the
Chicagoans returned. One ofdhe crew
OF the train OH which they came in said
to a reporter:
Every one of them appeared to have
been caught in the shuttle and hurt
someway OF other. Blackened eyes were
most popular in the party, with broken
or bruised heads close second. Some
OF the poor fellows limped, while others
were unable to use their arms and
hands Oh account of bruises. l don't
know how it was before our crew got
hold of the men, but after we took them
they could not have been more uneasy
and frightened if the train had gone
down through a bridge. This feeling
Increased as the train approached Chi
cagO. Some of the men seemed to have
gotten it into their heads that mob was
waiting here to receive them, and give
them another dose like they got
down East. When the train got
to South Chicago one man, who
saw the coast clear, got up and
left, and he was followed by dozen
others. the lot of them scampering off
in different directions. This was re-
peated at all the stations as tar as
Twenty-second street, except when any
unusual-sized crowd happened to show
up on the platform. Then our passen-
gers crouched down in their seats. I
tell you felt sorry for them"
"Did any Of the men tell YOU how
they happened to go to Homestead?''
II talked to number of. them, and
they nearly all SAID they had been mis-
led. and many of them seemed to bit
tcrly repent having gone into the serv-
ice at all, out you could not get one of
them back there if you gave him the
whole steel works."
