successful fight against the louisiana
lottery. He did not originate the attack

it up he forced the fight. and the result

Is it a victory for a man, clothed with
the authority which a great nation gives,
and which is absolute, to do his duty:
|. The Louisiana lottery has been a self
confessed fraud for years and years. 1t
has plundered the country and it has ad-
mitted that it was a common thief.
WASAMAKER simply did his duty. That
was all.
He has enjoyed 10 victory, no more
than the prosecuting attorney would en-
JOY because he convicted a man whose
hands were red with >the blood of his
neighbor.
TINS thing of great newspapers like

WHY so. PRAY?

While GOVERNOR Holt as our chief
executive officer is vastly superior to any
man the republicans are likely TO put
against him, we earnestly hope that the
democracy of the state will not perpe
trate the inexcusable blunder, merely for
precedent's sake, of placing his name at
the head of the state ticket. We have
no special fault TO find with his admins
tration al the same time almost anybody
could and would have done as well. His
nomination will emphasize alienation
and invite detection -GastOnia Gazette.
And why, pray tell US?
What has Holt done to merit such
falkland what has be not dOneto Justify
such an attack:
Politics is politics-and those who de-
serve are often those who do not receive.

Tom HOLT may or may not be the head
Of the ticket. If he is the head of the
ticket, and he perhaps will be, every
loyal democrat will heartily support him,
because he goes on the ticket with a re-
cord which is clear as day.
Some people object to his connection
with the plaid trust, but that has nothing
to do with his record As a governor who
has been dignifed and decent in all mat
ters Of state.
Apart from all this a governor is not
much of a fellow any way, and be plays
no particular part in the affairs Of state
unless he is vicious aud dishonest.
1t is true that ne has the veto and par
doning p1wer, but men like HOLT will
not abuse such privileges, and if Tom
HOLT is nominated he will be elected.
and he will give satisfaction.
If the Gazette has a candidate it should
trot him out and not try any of this bush

COLONEL

COLONEL CUPID has upset many a we'll

he has entered households and he has led

Those who have fallen victorious to
his charms are glad that it is so, and
those who have failed still have hope. :
