| The Felcianian, published at Clinton,
makes the following serious charges:
After quoting the law on the subject,
| we made specific charges against that
member Of the Board of Control Of the
Insane Asylum, appointed from the City
of Baton Rouge, and named three par
tiCular instances, as follows:
(). The coal used at the Asylum last
year was purchased by member Of the
Board, without competing bids; (2}
Nearly all, if not all the lime, cement,
and hardware has been furnished with
out competition by a Baton Rouge firm
which has member on the board OF
control Of the asylum; (3). These same
parties furnished, without competition,
patent washing machine to the asylum.
Again a certain Baton Rouge bank, in
which this same member of the asylum
board is largely interested, has for the
past two years had the use Of some
S40,000.00 of the asylum money, and no
bonus on the deposit has been required.
We stated that this member of the asy-
lum board was pecnnarlly interested in
the furnishing of varionS articles to the
asylum. These things we stated, and
these things, and more besides, We are

The Silver Convention,
Monroe Telegraph Bulletin

Monroe TelegPapil-Bulletin
The largest silver convention ever as
sembled in this or any other country in
the history of the white metal was that
which met at Chicago the other day. It
was composed Of men of every political
faith and their party affiliations were
totally lost sight of in their loyalty to
silver. The building first engaged for
the sittings of the convention proved
inadequate to accommodate the large
number Of delegates and a larger hall
had to be engaged.
Allen w. Thurman, son of the sold
Roman" was chosen permanent chair
man of the convention and conspicuous
upon the floor were such men as Rea-
gan, of Texas, Stewart, of Nevada, War
ner, of Ohio, president of the Bimetalic
League, WI. Bryan, of Nebraska, Gov.
Waite, of Colorado, Mantle, of Montana,
and Shoup, of Idaho.
Great enthusiasm marked the pro-
ceedings of the convention and it is
evident that silver is not dead by long
shot.
The demand Of the convention is
that the law of 1878 along with the
Sherman act be repealed and that gold
and silver be restored to an equal foot
ing as the money of the constitution.
10 other words it is the same demand
laid down in the platform of the DEM
ocratic party at Chicago upon which
the democratic party went into power
and any other legislation by congress
will be treason to the party and people.
