Is explains ITSELF, You have doubt,
laa heard Of the action 81 lhe Parish
IInisB, held last Ffiday at Mulberry.
Tins seton was communicated "a
hihe chairman of The committee Of The
AntilLottsry Democratic party and the
withdrawal Of Mr. Richardson lle
nlandea H. III. Yiueaut, secretary
Of The Parish Uaion, who bore the
message, WAS asked whether or not
the delegates 70 this Parish Union
had been instructed BY their respective
sub'UnioDs 10 take this action. Mr..
Ntncentsaaid that lie did not know
whether The matter bad been discussed.
ID The sub Unions Or not, and could
not say that The delegates we're 20 In
airuated.
Nov, friends Of the Farmers' Union
II you had not instructed your dslo
gates to do This thing, was itnot very.
late IN The campaign. after Mr.. Rich
ardson bad been a candidate for Two
months, TO pull him down and put up
another man, without his knowledge,
and against his wishesq Il was too
late.
Mr. ltichardson was nominated By /
convention On the 10Th Of FebFn-
ny, 1892, which convention was con.
POSED Of At least two,thirds Farmers
Union men. They selected Mr. Rich
Irdson, and be was unanimously nom
aated, and now On the very eve Of
be election TO phil him down and put
p aDnan almost entirely unknown in
ne parish, would be to insure the de.
At Of the whole ticket, and to
laughter Mr.. MaeVey.
MI. Vincent says that The Farmers
Inion men in that convention had no
ght to make nominations that that
over vested exclusively in the Parish
'nion or,inthe executive committee
1.-THE Union. BE that as it may, The
on'unlonmen in The convention did
't know that. The AntiLottery "
on Union Democrats acted in good
ith they assisted in the nomination
lhe choice Of the Union men IN the
invention. The nen4Uaion Demo- =
rats have borne The brunt Of the bat.
81 they have waged an aggressive
lmpaign eveT-since the nominations
ere made, and now, when victory is
ready written on our banner, TO ask
a.to take a stePtthat would undo ali

on and the wrong il wonld do Mr..
iacEey, who is man With all the
lstinets Of q gentleman BY birth, edu
alton, and association.
Ffiendsof the Farmers Union, we
eel that tbe action of the Parish
Union was ill-adgised. We do not I
lame anyone, but this IS 10 time to
swap herses" III does not always
