In the police jury proceedings it
appears that the Delhi New Era, was
awarded the parish printing asI the
lowest sealed bid. We have been
informed there was only two papers
that sent in bids. Our bid twas
$500 less and we enumerated the
work. 1t was given the other paper
mot for being lower bidder but sim
ply because it opposed McEnery in
the late state campaign This il the
correct version of the case.
Il The signs of the times Indicate
that HonsC G. J. Boatner will receive
the nomination Of the October con
.vention beyond peradventure: He
seems to be the unanimous choice of
the swamp, parishes, and also, has
qnlte a respectable following I'M the
hill parishes. Farmersville Gazette.
Mr.. Boatner is beyond a doubtthe
actual choice of the straightont
Democrats of the District, and every
other man who is free, from Third
party faint ard has the material! wel-
fare and future prosperity of the
district at heart. IS .ssn
The New Orleans Republican has
evidently no particular liking for
Brer Kellogg, who was once SO
prominent in its party ranks In this
State. 1t says qas
a Washington special to a Dem
ocratic paper IN this city says that
Kellogg is a frequent caller on the
National Committee and that he
thinks two Republican Congressmen
may be elected in this State. We
agree with Mr.. Kellogg, providing
he, will stay at his. home in Wash
ington thus relieving the campaign
of his name and presence.
Poor Bill, his services are no
longer needed. The foregoing is
certainly-the most unkindest cut of
all. =
Jeems Weaver a few years ago
called the Southern people a crank
traitorous horde = he called them a
"hungry, rebellious, man-hating,,
woman-selling gang Incorporated
under the name of Democracy
When taxed with these utterances
in the House of Representatives he
admitted having made them, and
said that he had no apologies to
make, Memphis Commercial.
Jeems is the candidate for Presi-
dent on the Third party ticket, and
is now making stump speeches in the
South For Unparalleled cheek,
the aforesaid Jeemsl is real Jim
Dandy, and the people Of the South
are extremely, forbearing.
I The factional differences in Ass
censionr and ,Lafourche parishes
could not be harmonized. The
reason of it was the Foster people
wanted the entire membership Of the.
parish committee with the possible
exception of three members, which
proposition the McEnery men could
notiaccept. Both factions will send
delegates to the congressional con-
vention. -Attakapas indicator.
1t is seriously distressing to find
the fractional chickering's kept up to
such an unreasonable extent. Fac
ticnal hate combined with human
greed in politics is fearful thing
to allay, and the faction In the as
cendancy shonld see to it that the
chickering's cease for they have it in
their power to do so.s is
