The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1892-11-05

The Shreveport Times says tnat
T. Jonathan Guice has gone to
the pine hills of Bienville parish
in the hope of deluding the unin-
formed there, but adds:
Reports are coming in from all
portions of the district that Guice's
few deluded followers are renounc-
ing him and his trucking deal with
the Republicans and negroes and
will vote the straight Democratic
ticket. Mr.. Guice and his Third
party combine have effectually
cooked their goose in Louisiana.
They swallowed Republicanism,
negroes and all, at ono gulp and
politically poisoned themselves
1t was the clearest case of political
suicide we ever witnessed.

Cleveland's Chances.

The election of Mr.. Cleveland is
almost an assured fact among the
neutral contingent. They figure
the position to be about this:
Cleveland is certain of IT'S votes in
the electoral college, Harrison is
certain of 13S, while Weaver. is
certain of 80. Of the remaining
80 doubtful votes, it is almost GER
tain that Cleveland will cary New
York 26, Indiana Is, and Illinois
%, making a total of 70, when he
only needs 48 votes to make up the
requisite 223 necessary to choice
in the electoral college, which will
this year consist of 444 votes. In
addition to the States named above,
the Democrats claim Massachusetts
Is, Wisconsin IL, Nebraka s, Mon
tana 3 and North Dakota 3, with
fighting chances in two or three
other States.

Mr.. Guice only pays poll tax,
having not been able to accumulate
q dollars worth of property of his
own that appears on the tax roll,
yet he would like to be leader
and law maker for the people. A
man who can not manage his per-
sonal affairs successfully, could not
be safely trusted with public affairs,
and no class of people are better
aware of this fact than the farmers
whom Guice is trying to hoodwink.
Mansfield Journal.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1892-11-05

Guice was the first man to raise
row over the Lafayette 'com-
bine," by which the farmers gained
more than they could hope to ac-
complish in years. But he views
matters altogether in different
light, when he thinks there is a
chance for greasy" Guice to land
in Office, and no dicker is too dirty
for him to approve, provided the
'sbretheren" will submit to his
bargain and deliver their votes to
the Republican candidate for Pres
ident.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1892-11-05

The most complete case of hari-
kari that has ever occurred In
Louisiana for many day was that
of Garrulous Guice, when he
thought he could bind the breth-
rem to vote a Republican ticket.
He seems to have entirely forgot
ten that celebrated telegram evoked
by him while at Lafayette, but the
union men recognize that "indi-
vidual members must be left free
just as much in this campaign as
in any other.

Probabilities in the Fourth Dis
trict.
The voting population in the 4th
Congressional district is about 3d.
600. The probability is that 25,-
600 of the number will vote on
the 9Th instant, and that at least
Is, 900 of them will vote for Cleve-
land for president, and Blanchard
for Congress. In 1890, when there
was little or no interest taken in
the election, Blanchard received
1907 votes, and Guice 277. Allow
ing that Guice will receive twenty
times as many votes this year as
he got two years ago, he would
still fall short of the vote for
Blanchard in 1890. However, ii
is probable that Blanchard will
double his vote in 1892, and, should
Guice double up forty times, be
would still be short 5000 or 5000
of votes enough to get to Congress.

will be seen that the whites and

fair sympathy and good will, and
that many of the most prominent

interests Of all are identical. We
believe the vote on next Tuesday

A Silver Proposal.

BUTTE, Mont., Dec. 8.-Superin.
tendant Allen, of the Butte I'd
Boston Mining Company, has writ
ten a suggestive letter to the secre-
tary of the treasury department.
He offers to coin all the silver dollars
the government wants at 80 cents
apiece, putting In them 400 grains
of pure silver, against 3784 In the
present dollar. At so cents per
ounce, the value Of the present dol.
lar is only G5.7l cents. He would
number each coin so that the govern
ment would not be compelled TO re-
deem duplicates. He says the degree
of fineness of the present dollar Ii
such that they can be counterfeited
80 as to defy detection, and thai
with S05O,0OO worth of metal coun,
terfeiters can make a fortune OF
$S5O,OOO profit. He proposes stand
ard which would prevent the posi-
bility of such counterfeit.
