The only reply the Clarion has seen fit to make
to our card concerning the republication in its
columns Of the unwarranted, cowardly and un-
called-for innuendO of the Bunkie Blade is this:
In so far as the Clarion is concerned we have
this to ay: that whenever these editors apply
any such language as this to any statement Il
may make, reply will be given. but not
through its columns. Ifs won't do"
In other words, it says: IF" these editors ap-
ply any such language" &C. And then it adds !:
80 Ifs , Won / do" Won't do for other people, is
what it means-of course.
1t then republishes certain charges which it
made in February, 1891, and adds:
"NO successful reply or denial of these
charges having, from that time to this, been
made by them we have not thought it incum-
bent upon us to say more. To give them fur
ther opportunity to do so and as reminder we
will keep them standing in our columns until
either denial is made or the proof called for"
Now, the truth is, as our readers will remem-
Der, that we did make reply to and denial
of these charges which was so complete and
successful" that the Clarion, Notwithstanding
its threat to pr0lOng the controversy. changed
its notion about it and said nothing more to the
point beyond disclaiming in q shamefaced sort
OF way any intent to besmirch anybody"
There the matter dropped.
The Clarion having in effect 6isclaimed by its
whenever" or if, any intent to endorse any
offensive insnuation, VIC would beg to know
what it does mean. IF it will make clearcu
manly and straightforward statement of its
meaning, we will know exactly how to charac-
terize it-and will do so without any ITS.

What a shame 1t is that we should he charge

we not proclaimed it in every possible way
that the minions OF old Morris We're prompted
and nstigated and stimulated by Doodle, and
that alone? Have we not denounced every
one who declared himself in favor of submit

terms that could not be misunderstood And
is 1T not just awful to find that because we Of
fered the New Orleans Bosses only few OF the
most lucrative offices of that city, the tables
should be turned on us by truthfully, alas y
charging us with Offering brhcs Oh, horrible /!
to realize that these boodlers. as we called
them, should low be giving US tft=, and that we
dare not deny the charges!

We Thought that john was potent, shrewd,

But doubling all might not be right,

Kruttschnitt soon wrote and read it out

Then went his way report to make

Though hard it is, we've learned, forsoot,l,
There's nothing half SO bad az TrutI

With masks pulled off by cunning cuss.
So here we stand and dare not hoot

Farewell al hopes Of office now;
There's not a wreath tcntwine our brow.
We know that Mac will crown the evil,
And voters send us to the ID.
There we must howl and weep and wall,

The fight is ou Let no man waver
in his devotion to McEoery and the
principles of true Democracy.

B. r. Advocate: The Foster State commit
tee was in session six days. Until the very last
day of the session, they claimed the right to
name thu candidate for governor on the sug-
gested compromise State ticket, but never once
did they hint at the restoration of Capt Adams
to the place from which he had been dragged
down by the politicians. Capt. Adams was the
original nominee of his party, duly endorsed by
the Foster faction at Lafayette; he had been
induced to surrender his right on the plea that
a " stronger man was necessary. to win, and
relegated to the tail end of the ticket. But the
proposed compromise revived Capt. Adams
claims, as matter Of justice to him and the
farmers, yet the politicians utterly ignored
them from first to last, although they must
have known that Capt. Adams would have
been a much more satisfactory compromise
candidate to the McEnery democrats than Mr..
Foster or any other extreme politician of his
class. That Capt. Adams had some expecta-
tions in this direction is very probable e bnt If So
did not follow the example of Jonah's whale,
and disgorge the victim, but kept him where
he could not again come between the politicians
and their ambition to rule the State.

Commenting upon the attempt Of Foster and

Commenting upon the attempt of Foster and
some of his trusted ieutenants to bribe certain
New Orleans ward leaders, the City Item says:
The anti.McEneryites began their campaign
too soon. 1t gave the people the true favor of
that yaunted" " virtue and manhood"
The Fosterites would not have lost so much
credit had they stuck to oratory and omitted
"dickering" But of course the results in
offices gained would have been the same.
With the recent shocking disclosures to guide
them, the Farmers Unionlsts may begin to ap.
preciate why Capt. Adams is the tail instead of
the head of their ticket.
referring to the same subject, the New Or
leans States says:
Mr.. Foster has been run to earth. He has
been exposed. The preteDsons of himself and
his trusted followers to superior, or even to or
dinary political honesty, have been shown to
be the baldest frauds. THE defenders of the
honor and manhood OF the State" have been
caught in the very act of dealing in green
goods" They have been caught Offering to
turn over public offices, yielding revenue to
their holders Of nearly a half million dollars, to
a class Of men they have told the people are
corruptionists aud scoundrels, as a bribe for
their support of NJ j. Foster, the ballot-box
stuffer of st. Mary, for Governor Of Louisiana.

Straws, it is said, show which way the
wind blows. For the benefit Of tile sup
porters of the Foster ticket in this par
isil, we give the following straw" from
the New Orleans Picayune:
Betting has already opened on the result Of
the primary and though even money on either
candidate is the best to be had at present, Nc
Emery is the fayorite. Soon after the agree
ment between the two factions was reached,
wager of $4,000 or any part OF it, the layer
a1acling McEnery's chances was offered, but
only a few hundred dollars of the amount were
covered by Foster men, Col r. K. Rivers bcing
the stakeholder. Another bet OF $500, even, OF
any part of it, on McEnery, was also offered,
but met no takers

A vote for Foster is a premium put
upon bad faith and party treachery. If
the Impossible could happen and Foster
he the choice of majority of Demo-
Gratis on the 22d Of March, then we might
bid farewell to party discipline and to
the fundamental dogma that the will of
the majority must rule in the councils
Of the party; for at each recurring cleo
ton the minority would bolt and try it
all over again, as Foster did and is do
ing. Let Democrats who value the su-
preme importance of party discipline,
which In Louisiana involves the very
existence of their party, bury these NAL
contents under such an avalanche of
votes that none will ever be tempted to
follow their criminal example.
