Nous verrons.

Let us see now what all the
boasted honesty and refined morality
of the Fpsterites are worth in an
election. If they be genuine, those
who watch them will learn something
new and worthy of imitation, and If
not, their vjgilenee will serve to show
how little professions are worth in
elections even among the self-styled
best men in the parish.
We presume Mr.. Burr, who is a
very orthodox morality man, has ap-
pointed no one as commissioner OF
election but such as he feels confident
is as honest as himself. We are
strengthened in this presumption by
the fact that not one has been appoint
ted who is not known to be of his fac
tion Let us expect an exhibition of
snow-like purity and an ice-like
chasteness 10 all they do or attempt to
do. Things must go right, in the hon
or of the holy st. Foster.

The DeIta's Editorial.

The DeIta's editorial of the 18th
instant must annoy some hungry Office
seekers here. The Delta charges that
the McEnery faction have allied with
tile Leonard faction II must make
some politicians here sick at heart, If
the Leonard vote Of this parish Is to
90 to the McEnery boys.

night to the New Delta, the Fosterite
organ:
Clinton, La. March 27, 1892
Editor New Delta. New Orleans, La.
Dear Sir--In view of the Importance ol
Democratic unity and the hope that the
electoral vote of Louisiana be cast at the ap,
preaching national election for q Democratic
nominee, permit me to urge, through the
columns of your valuable paper, that what.
it is the bounden duty of all good democrats
to abide by that decision. am willing to &c
on the hustings in advocacy of the regular
Democratic nominee for Governor of Louisi-
ANA, whoever he may be. Very Truly.
7. s. ADAMS
This dispatch appears not to have
been the sort of honest manly thunder
which the organ of 'sthe honor and
manhood of the State," and '.the cham
pion of true Democracy" wanted to
hear and echo, hence, it suppressed the
dispatch.
Capt. Adams, in this dispatch,
speaks the language and sentiments OF
true citizen, square Democrat and
an honorable gentleman. If the other
leaders of the Foster factions had
spoken out in the open and manly
manner Capt Adams has adopted, a
better feeling wonld now prevail in the
Democratic party. But they have NOT
done so. On the contrary, nothing has
come from them but utterances OF an
cry, dissatisfaction and intimations OF
another bolt, in case the committee OF
Seven refuse to juggle the returns and,
in face of square majority for the Nc
Emery ticket, declare the Foster ticket
to be the chosen one.
1t is certainly true, and we note the
fact with qualification, that the rank
and file of the Foster faction have
spoken freely and patriotically on the
line of Capt. Adams but their fierce,
bitter, indicative and reckless lead
ers, will, unquestionably head another
bolt. if they dare do so.
All honor to Capt. Adams. He has
more influence, more honest, genuine
power with the people than all the 9TH
or candidates on his ticket combined ;
and. if the Committee declares for the
McEnery ticket, and Capt. Adams
stands by his volunteer pledge, which
is as certain as the sun rises he will do,
no bolt that the malcontents, represen,
ed by the Delta, can get up will
amnnnt tn a z-phyr of the mildest,
snis, compared with tue whirlwind OF
popular favor which will sweep Nc
Emery into tie guhernatorial chair.
Fhr influence, of the Foster leader;
is, OF was, based on "A popular fetish
OH jusgrlry and dickering; that o
Capt Adams is rooted in the hearts oi
the farmers of Louisiana, whose frienG
he has been. and whose views he ha,
voiced and his advice will be followed

The Baton Rouge Advocate, under
the caption Counted Out,D has this to
say of the gigantic fraud perpetrated
on the voters of this State:
"The news comes from New Or
leans that our new Louisiana Return
ing Board has counted in the Foster
ticket by $40 majority. We congratu-
late our late Democratic brethren on
their glorious victory. 1t is worthy of
their cause. It recognizes the sanity
maxim that One, with God, is a
majority Italso sustains Vanderbilts
famous saying, The public be d-d.'
The Advocate believes 10 keeping
faith, bnt honor does not require that
faith shall be kept on one side only.
The Returning Board decision, given
under threats from the Foster side
that they Wonld not abide by the re.
suit If tbs vote of the people was
honestly counted, absolVes every
honorable conscience from all obliga-
ton, and leaves each individual Demo
crat free TO follow whatever course
seems best to Iebuke the fraud which
has been perpetrated. but fortunately
mot yet consumated. The McEnery
Democrats have thus far been qnies
cent; they have sought the paths of
peace with their Democratic brethren
| of the Foster side, in hope of nnifyiDg
1.-THE party and keeping it together on
/ the basis of honor and fair dealing.
But this is all past. The white peo-
| pie of Louisiana are at last liupelessly
divided into two hostile factions,
which must fight it out to the death of
one or tile other, OF of both, for there
can be not even the prctense of politi-
cal friendship after the outrage just
perpetrated by onr new Louisiana Re-
/ turning Board Tie issue is in the
hands of the State Central Committee
and other leaders and advisers Of Nc.
/ Emery Democracy The wisdom Of
their Judgment will be followed The
] voters are under no restraint or ebli-
/ cation to those who have so basely be-
j trayed the trust in their honor, but are
/ free in their consciences, as an inherent
right of American citizenship, to raise

rage of this despicable fraud and Dc
whatever can be done to rebnke it and

i feat.

PROPOSAL FOR THE COUNCIL.
Conference Between City and Property
Owners Representatives-Thr
Lake Shore Tickets.

An agreement has been reached between the
representatives OF the city and the owners OF
water front property on the subject OF the ram
horn right-of-way. Judge Orange Jacobs. cor
poraton counsel; Frank A. Pontius, of the
judiciary committee of the board of aldermen,
and Judge Roger s. Greene, attorney for the
water front owners met on Wednesday in Judge
Jacobs Office.
1t was concluded that there ought to be an ad-
justment OF railroad rights, those rights to be
pivoted on a surrender of all right, title and In
terest IN or to the ram s-horn right-of-way, and
that there should be a complete abandonment
of the same; also that the city should treat with
no railroad company as to the trackage rights or
privileges on Railroad avenue without such re-
lease, surrender and abandonment to the city
of the ram s-horn rigbt-of-way.
Some of the railroad companies have proposed
that terminal company should be formed, the
stock OF which should be owned by and pro-
portioned among the railroad companies having
traekage in Railroad avenue, or who would be
entitled to trackage in any equitable adjust
ment. twas the opinion OF the parties to the
conference that there was only one OBJ
lection to this scheme. The home railroad
companies desire the management and
control OF the terminal company, but foreign
company holds the control The opinion was
expressed that, If this question of control could
be- settled, the whole terminal question could
be settled very easily
The question will come up at the next meet
ing Of the city council, when the petition oil the
water front property-owner will be presented.
This petition has been signed by every owner OF
water front property affected by the rams horn
right-of-way.

THE sAND-LOT ORATORS.
They Trifie With Figures and Pou
Forth Profanity Galore.


The orators OF the Peoples party held forth
from their wagon on Pioneer Place last evening
to shivering audience of couple OF hundred
people, whom they vainly strove to keep warm
by their sultry denunciations of everything and
every body.
Captain May intimated that it would not be
good for any boss to try to close his mouth, as
was evident from the strength of his jaw. He
denounced the other Peoples party faction for
nllying itself with the Democrats, calling its
members few soreheads Then he denounced
the Democrats and told their sins, gave the
Republicans similar treatment, and could not
find good word to say for anything but green
backs He expressed surprise at the organiza-
ton o: a colored Democratic club and then, lest
this should be taken as a point in favor of the
Republicans, said: Eyer colored people, don't
yer remember the woes the Republicans heaped
on yer" He distributed taffy broadcast among
the seandinayians, Irish and Germans.
S. NJ Miller, of Kent, did some figuring on
city finances, which showed that he has been
employing his leisure hours on more or less
accurate arithmetic, and calculated how long it
would take man at 81 a day to earn as much
as the profit on the proposed bond issue would
amount to. Then he denounced the old parties
in lurid language, and defed the bosses to per-
form the hopeless but commendable task of
closing his mouth.
man named Crawford, from Kitsap county,
madea dramatic opening by pointing to the
various banks and saying the subsidized editors
OF these institutions had called the Peoples
party calamity howiers, told of the Farmers
Alliance triumph and called number OF things
infamous to which he appeared to object.
J. +. Pike proclaimed that he was three score
and four years old and would not stand corrup-
ton; no wanted reform. That's right; give
EN- II" somebody shouted, and he sailed
into everybody with profuse profanity, handling
figures with volubility and utter disregard for
accuracy. He said that $4,000 of bonds were
issued TO buy an old frog pond and a few rusty
worn-out water pipes. Then he said that forty
or htty cities had been built of timber stolen
from Puget sound. That's where they learnt
their ID thievery," he continued, referring
to the present officials "This is a damnable
state OF things" he exclaimed, whereat the au-
dience bent double with laughter. Then he
howled about the surplus and closed this TRADE
by saying: "And under the Harrison admins.
tration the whole Cd id thing was gone "
This remark was explained by another: am
OF old Puritan stock"
SO he went on, aud others followed in the
same strain.
