o0ca in the methods used by inc

n. =, who Foster was the candidate7
Il TO, k ties in both instances ana
,ba votes were secured in the same
vsv in 1884 that they were III 1884,
and The PROGRESS ought to know IT,
However, since Bro. Hicks, the
aditor of HE PROGRESS, got 1t 'h'o
bis head that he could defeat the
regular Democratic nominee for Con-
GROSS. in the old Fourth District by
winning as an independent "Jetfer-
oo,;au Democrat (excusing himself
bv saving that primary vote OF all
tbo white Democrats Of the district
vss not a fair mode of selecting I"
uomiuee), we have not had very
! mucb respect for the political op'n-
;ois at Bro Hicks, and would not So
lect him as umpire to settle differ
eocss between Democrats.
Don't Let The PROGRESS for mo-
mani think that the Town Talk be-
longs to Gov. Foster or to any other
official or politician. We may sup
port Gov Foster for governor ana We
NAV not It is rather early IN the
day to choose candidate, and 'ne
people get enough local politics as 1t
IL without starring a campaign TWO
year, bsf,re All election.
TYT PRoGnEss may rest assured
tbatTown Talk, when it does choose
a candidate to support for governor
will take up tho cause OF that 'as''
who il believes will best serve the
State Of Louisiana and her people
This the Town Talk will do, as always
in the past, without waiting for th'
highest bidder to come along aho
+ choose for it. The Town Talk he'
never made anything out OF polite
aud never expects to. Some way o
other it always gets on the size o
those that have no ''pie" to serve t.
their friends, hut it has always DC
lieved, aud still believes, that the Sid
without "pie" is the side that shonl
rule the affairs OF Louisiana" --Iow

We have suffered many disappoin

many fond hopes decay, and IN ii
failure of all have suffered alias

Town Talk has little regard for o
