great emphasis on the absolute necessity
Of carrying tho point te aneeessfal
issue. The fight could not be wen uns
less there was absolute union. cn IT'D
othcr side there were men of influence,
but this shonld not be- matter foE fear
IIe drew a striking picture of man
(republicanism) standing before 4 loco
motive democracy and said the opposi
tion was not to be taken III account.
The gifted young speaker closed btu
able effort By oxhorting tho democrats
to stand firmly together aud do their
duty. The eyes Of Louisiana were on tho
third district. He was convinced that
no temptation could swerye any Of the
voters from their determination 10 carry
to victory the banner of Andrew Price.
Iie was deeply grateful for the cordial
reception accorded him.
MIR. PRcE's sPEEcM
The distinguished candidate for CON
gress from the third district was next in-
troduced and as he stepped forward and
bowed to the vast audience mighty
cheer rent the air,
When quiet was restored, Mr., Priee
spoke Of the deep appreciation he felt Of
the reception accorded him and felt aa-
sured that on the 9th Of November dem-
ocracy would be victorious, 1t would do
more than 1t did in 1885, and yield d
larger majority. The improvements were
wonderful and the thrift was remarkable
Of this parish, but what would be those
things, compared to what they would be
when the deep water was secured, which
he and Senator Blanchard were working
for In congress
Regardless of past differences and
schisms, tho democracy Of Caleasiea
stood hand in hand today. Two years
ago the third district had no opposition,
but now it was different. Men who,
short time ago, were loaders Of the dem-
ocracy had gone over TO the republicans,
and were leading them. This desertion
was due, they claimed, to the manner IN
which sugar had been treated III the last
congress He admitted that they should
have the bounty this year, but the gfiev-
auce was not great enough to make them
bolt He and many others however had
stood for and BY the party In Ascension,
VIM. +. Miles stands to-day for democracy
Notwithstanding the losses encountered
Why this bolts Because the democratic
party had shabhily treated them and they
would 90 over to the other side, In order
to show the people how these conditions
come about and who was responsible
therefor, he would go back 10 tariff Leg
islation,
Up to 1890 The duty had been on sugar
but the republican party took IL off then
and struck it d deadly blow They gave
what they knew could never be main-
tanned, The sngar men protested includ-
ing, II. Dudley Coleman, tho republican
candidate for congress from the second
district and allthe senators and congress-
men worked for the removal Of the bonn
BY, A committee went to protest agalnst
the bounty being given, No less d per-
sonaga, was II, @, Warmpth on that com-
mittee,
Before tho ways and means committee,
Mr. Bayne, Of Pennsylvania, asked MIR.
Warmoth why this would BIO dlstasteful
and inimical, The reply oams HNo
bounty would he uf hanetit to us, be-
cause II would be very short lived
Mr., Peters republican, said at the same
time that the bounty should not be placed
on sugar. Tho democrats voted against
II in the house and H. Dudley Coleman
made speech against the Mckinley bill
and the bounty
Here the speaker read part Of Cole
mans speech, in which he emphasized the
terrible Injustice Of such q bounty.
And yet II, p, Coleman was now run-
ming for congress in the second district
and telling the people the bounty would
be restored, The bounty will neyeR BIO
restored, ana the only way the bounty for
this year will be paid Is by the efforts Of
the democrats. The President, Mr.. Car
Isle, and Senator Falkner said the bounty
should be paid, and nnless the bounty
WINS paid BY the democratic congress ii
wonll never be paid Bnt II tile repuh-
lieans went into power, II would heoome
dead claim, Not until 1898 could d law
be enacted to restore the bounty. i3y
that time the opposition to the restora-
tiou win haYe become so erysfalised that
tho republicans viii never say anything
about Il again
When the Mckinley bill was reported
TO the house, the father Of the bill a.
