S. D. McEnery declared himself
to be opposed to the lottery and yet
he openly declared that he favored
it because he knew it to be utterly
impossible to conduct the State gov.

there must be either one or two
things-the lottery or increased tax
alton. He preferred the lottery in
preference to adding to the already
heavy burdens Of the people.

Come Together.

When the nomination of Mr.. S..
d McEnery seemed to be assured,
the entire State press which support.
ed his ticket, with commendable
zeal advocated the burial of the
Ratchet and %proffered the pipe of
peace. While not conceding the
result as settled, the Foster organs
met these overtures half way and.
with a few exceptions, chimed in
with the opposition and plead for
harmony. This, too, while the New
Orleans contests were still pending.
More than this. The McEneryites
just prior to the election pasted the
country full Of circus posters with a
copy of the rule relating to the chal.
longing OF votes printed upon them.
The posters also proclaimed in large
letters that those voting in the pri-
mary were in honor bound to vote
for McEnery should he be the nomi
nee, and bound (only) to vote for
Foster if he should be so declared.
What the object of this glaring no.
tice to Democrats was, we don't
profess to know. 1t shows how
ever that the McEnery faction were
zealously aware of the condition
imposed upon every citizen who
participated in the election, and they
were bound that the Fosterites
should not forget it either. Well,
the smoke of battle has cleared off,
the result is known, and We ask you
gentlemen of the opposition Twill
You agree to abide by and sustain
the result ?" No hedging, no dodg.
ing, come out fat-footed and a
what you mean. Foster has been
declared the choice OF the people by
the very tribunal you yourselves
selected, he has been judged by the
very laws you yourselves enacted,
and he asks you the question you
yourselves agreed upon as the test
Of Democracy, "Will you agree to
support the nominee 2" 60 to the
polls on the 18th and prove your
good faith, and the rent in the party
is healed. Vote for Foster and by
so doing evidence the sincerity Of
your plea for harmony and your de-
votion to the Democratic party.

The Picdyuns in an editorial on
the Investigations of the committee
of seven, says:
1t was not at the beginning, gen.
orally understood that any effort
would be made to overthrow any
duly certified returns. Now that
this has been undertaken, no gener-
al and unspeciied charges Of irregu.
larity or fraud will avail.
II the charges brought BY Mr..
Kruttschnitt are not specific, if the
proof of the charges is not certain
enough to satisfy any well balanced
mind, then there is some call for
the PCS remarks, but we believe
that if it reads its own account of
the investigation, it must admit that
things would be 10 a pretty mess
indeed, if the committee had not
determined to go behind the returns.
The McEnery members of this COM
mittee opened the door for the
"oyerthrowing Of duly certified re.
turns" and they must now abide by
the precedent which they themselves
set.

The rules formal; ted by the com.
mit,ees of the opposing Democratic
factions for the government of the
primary election which has just been
held, were the most minute and eau
tious that were ever drafted to
secure a free ballot and a fair count.
No contingency was overlooked, no
possibility was unprovided for, and
it seemed as if the slightest chances
of fraud was carefully guarded
against. This was the more impor-
tant, as, aside from the selection of
nominees, the vote was to determine
the representation Of the parishes in
future conventions. With one or
two exceptions, the voters in the
country parishes have rigidly adher-
ed to the rules, andithe election out
side of New Orleans has been char
acterized by fairness. But despite

rules drew about the polls to Fena.

slvely proves that the election in the

residents, people who on the day of
the election were hundreds of miles
from the polling place, yea, even the
dead were recorded as having de.
posted a vote for McEnery. In the
sixth, eight and ninth wards there
was no attempt made to comply with
the rules at all, and one of the bosses
openly boosted that he "was going

In yesterdays Cincinnati Enquirer
was telegram from indianapolis,
headed at sizzles." This refers to the
roast which Secretary Munson, Of the
st. Louis club, gives Jack Glasscock. Of
this city, the released short stop. Mum
son calls Jack "mean," a "disorgan-
izer," "disintegratOr." and other awful
things like that.
Glasscock was seen by an ISrElLGES-
GER man yesterday. He was perfectly
willing to talk, and the mild way Mum
son roasted him was not "in it, COM
pared TO the send of Jack gives Won der
Abe, Mnnson and others. He says that
when he was released by Won der Abe
Munson damned Chris up and down,
and pretended greatsympathy for Glass
cock, who now, however, suspects that
Munson was playing two-faced game,
and that he was really the canse of his
being released. He is more persuaded
that this is true because, he says, he
knows Munson caused the suspension
OF Kid Gleason.
Jack says he loses about $500 on Won
der Abe, $500 OF an arbitrary cut and
$500 salary while he lays off. He pro-
poses to see, however, if he can't get it
back.
He quotes Chamberlain as saying he
pitied man who was to get big money
from Won der Abe, because he would
never get it. Glasscock also gives Gro
thers bad send-off, and tells some
funny things Jimmy Calvin says about
Won der Abe. A story of the time
Chris was going to lick Griffith-and
didn't-as Jack tells it is also interest
ing.
Glasscock wrote to Nick Young, de-
manding to know where he is at" in
the st. Louis release matter. The meet
ing yesterday was supposed to act on
the matter. II it doesn't, friends Of
Jack are willing to wager that he will.
