Caddo parish, and at Antonia box
in Grant parish-as well as whole
sale fraud in Rapides.
A compromise was finally reach
ed by which Mr.. Ogden was de-
clared the nominee of the party by
a majority of 1876. Now, as to
whether there was or was not fraud
does not concern us any further
than we deplore such principle,
if the Democrats can not have a
fair election in their own household
when they have it all their own
way, it certainly should he warn
ing to the people to denounce and
put down such a practice by over
whelming majorities at the polls,
voting such party into oblivion.
The ballot of the American citi-
zen is his only safeguard against
tyranny and oppression, it is the
only distinction between a republi-
can form of government and des-
pOtism. Therefore, we say that he
should 60 to the polls on election
day, and put his seal of condemna-
tion upon it, and have the manhood
to see that his ballot is not stolen
from him. Recollect that Mr..
Watkins and Mr.. Ogden are both
Democrats, and this charge has
been made in the Democratic party,
and is therefore self accusation
and confession. In conclusion, let
us urge every man to 60 to the
polls and vote for the Peoples par
ty candidate, and thereby show to
the world that the wholesale fraud
at the ballot box must stop.
The Louisiana populist., 1894-10-19

pockets of the whiskey trust, the
sugar trust and the money trust,
and at the same time voted millions
out of the pockets Of the farmer
and laborer.
The address further charges that
''The Populist party, feeling vague
ly that the masses of the people
have been oppressed, &C., would
essay to correct the evils by class
legislation" This assertion, first
makes light of the claim of the
Popufist that the people are suffer
ing, intimating that such claim rs
a vague one, this we will leave to
the people to answer. But when
it comes to the charge against the
Populist that they are seeking class
legislation, it is too absurd to even
aspire to the plane of common
sense. The Populists advocate
laws that will put each and every
individual upon the same footing
in his efforts to feed, clothe and
educate his family, and when men
make such assertions as contained
in the address, we can not attrib-
ute it to anything but ignorance of
the principles of the Peoples par
ty. The Populists hold that the
government is the people, and that
it does not belong to Cleveland
and his cOterie of national bankers
and railroad and other corporation
lawyers, as is supposed by our
Democratic friends. Why do they
not come boldly to the front and
discuss issues, instead of dealing in
these misleading assertions. There
is not a man who thinks, who will
not say that the masses of people
have lost more by the shrinkage of
value in produce since the repeal
of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman law, than at any time in
the history of this country, and
that the Democrats are solely res.
ponsible for that fact. Every Ia
borer in the land can testify to this.
There is no use trying to hide it.
Like Banquos ghost, ''it will not
down." Then why not meet these
issues squarely in the face. The
Peoples party is the only party
that offers any relief-the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties have
never gotten further than the tariff
issue, where they have been for
thirty years.

pretend. If as they claimed it was

Third district, from the same course
of reasoning, it would have been to
the interest of the country to ac-
cept it in the Fourth district. The
terrible doom of impending disso.
luton of the Democratic party is

positions that are wholly inconsis-
tent and irrecOncilable.
The Louisiana populist., 1894-10-19
Shows Their Weakness.

The Democrats of the Third Dis
trict made a proposition to the
Republicans to have a joint white
primary in which the names of
their respective candidates were to
be submitted to the white vote of
the district, this as claimed, would
eliminate the negro from politics
as the disturbing element. The
proposition is identically the same
as that submitted to the Democrats
in the Fourth District by the Pop
ulists, and which was rejected by
the Democrats. In regard to the
Republicans rejecting the PROPOSE
ton in the Third District, the Pic5
ayune has this to say: ''That the
rejection of the proposition by the
Republicans is a confession of
their weakness" If it ia thus
construed in the Third District IL
can also be thus construed in the
Fourth District, and the only con
clusion left is that the Democrats
of the Fourth District were afraid
to risk their chances in the hands
of the intelligent white people.
Another significant fact promi-
nently looms up as a further rea-
son why the Democrats of the
Fourth District rejected the propo-
sition of the Populists, and that is
that it has become very convenient
in the Southern States to have q
black belt to rely upon, that never
fails to roll up big majority in ta-
ror Of ,chite supremacy. Yet the
Democrats are unceasing in their
attempts to frighten the people
with the old worn out hobby of
negro domination," but the bet
ter thinking people have quit ta-
king stock in such nonsense. First
and foremost, the negro does not
want to dominate" anybody; and
secondly, be could not if he want
ed to. 1t is an insult to any white
man to tell him that the time will
ever come when the negro will
dominate the caucasian race.
This old cry of negro domination
is kept up by scheming politicians
as q pretext to stuff ballot boxes.
It might have worked once, but it
won't work since the people have
begun to edncate themselves. The
Democrats are put to such straight
ened circumstances that in one dis
trict they refuse to do what they
offer to do in an adjoining district.
This shows US conclusively that
they are not sincere in what they

Georgia Election.

Great sensational developments
are following the election in the
State of Georgia; wholesale fraud,
bribery aud buying of votes charg.
ed, and many prominent Demo-
Gratis will be prosecuted. The
frauds coDmitted are shocking in
the extreme and the returns from
several counties have been held
back for the purpose of bringing
out such vote as will be necessary
to give a Democratic majority when
the vote is finally tabulated ou the
oath inst, by the general assembly.
The Populist by a fair count
have elected ninety members of the
House and twenty Senators. The
Democrats have conceded the elec-
tiOn of sixty Representatives aud
eleven Senators.
The frauds are so glaring and
outrageous as to disgust the better
element of the people, and it as
sures a triumphant success for the
POpulists in 1896. There has been
a gain of about $1,000 Populists in
two years, even taking the Demo-
cratic returns. Look out for the
land slide in 1896.
The Louisiana populist., 1894-10-19
The Present Conditions To Be
Maintained.


The administration and the Dem
ocratic party evidently are looking
for breakers ahead. They know
what is mapped ont for this com.
ing Congress to do when 1t meets
in December, and that there is to
be another squeeze Of the laborer
in the interest Of capital is mani.
fest from the movement of the Ma
tiOnal army. Three regiments will
be stationed in the South one at
New Orleans, one at Little Rock,
Ark, and one at Atlanta, Ga.
Secretary Herbert Of the navy,
also states that he will recommend
to Congress that naval station be
established at New Orleans. This
undoubtedly means that there is to
be another squeeze by the capital
lists, which in fact has already
began. Carnegie has already re-
duced the wages of 5000 of his
workmcn and given notice of fur
ther reduction. In addition to this,
the tin factories are shutting
down, and the army of unemploy-
ed will IN all probability be greater
than ever known, and of course
starvation is not going to maintain
very serene and placid dispositions
among this mass of suffering hu-
manity, therefore the only conclu.
sion to be drawn is, that the Un-
tied States government is fixing to
establish military power at short
notice.
This may be taken as a notice,
that the present conditions are to
be maintained if it takes the I'm.
tied States army to do it. Don't

FRIDAY, October ~. 1894.
LET US USE OUR COMMON
SENSE.

The Democrats of the Fourth
Congressional District have pre-
pared and published an address, in
which they say: ''Mr. Ogden is
presented to you as an avowed ad-
vocate of free silver at a ratio of
rs to l."
How does this tally with Mr..
Ogden's endorsement of the CIeve-
land administration at Alexandria I
Every man who has any knowledge
of public affairs at all knows that
the Cleveland administration is dia-
metrically opposed to the free coin
age of silver at any ratio. This
question was voted upon by the
last congress, and every PROPOSE
ton to coin silver at any ratio, was
voted down at the behest of Gro
yer Cleveland, who is an avowed
advocate of the single gold stand
ard, and Mr.. Ogden has endorsed
his course. Now voters, ask your
own good common sense if the two
positions are consistent. 1t is Just
as easy to believe that Mr.. Ogden
is a white man and at the same
time black one, as to believe he
is a free silver Democrat and q
Cleavland Democrat; this is a pre-
posterous absurdity. Now, as Mr..
Ogden has made this straddle,
which leg is he likely to stand on
when he gets to congress9 Is he
EkeIy to remember his representa-
tions to the people, (few of them
do) or is he likely to be swayed by
the man whom be has openly en-
dorsed as being right' Can you
take chances on such a manl There
is no party platform that pledges
Mr.. Ogden to anything.
Again, the address says: 1.-THE
foundation stone of the Democracy
is its opposition to class Legislation
in all its FORMS" This is certainly
a remarkable assertion for party
that has been in absolute control of
every branch of the government,
and held an eleven months session
of congress, and yet we say with
out the fear of successful contra
diction, that the trusts, corpora
tions and combinations, Except Ia
Dor organizations) are in greater
prosperity to-day than they have
been since this country has been a
government. There never has been
an attsmpt by the so-called Demo-
cratic party to destroy, or even
disparage q single trust or money
Cd corporation, but to the contrary,
they have directly aided Ill of
them, and then they have the gall
to attempt to decsive the people by
pretending to denounce this class
legislation which is directly oppos-
ed to the interests of the masses.
We make these charges against
the present so-callsi Democratic
party, and let them deny it and we
will take the record and show
where they voted millions into the

The Populists had a speaking at
COushatta on the 10th inst, Maj.
A.. l.. Cox and Hon. B. w. Bal
ley addressed an audience of about
500. A proposition fromthe Demo
Gratis for a joint discussion was ac-
cepted. Mr.. Bailey opened the
discussion with half hours talk, in
which he forpibly and fluently ex-
pounded the demands of his party.
He was followed by j. c. Pugh,
with half an hour, in which he
flaunted the bloody shirt and de-
rided the Populists for being al
lies of the Republicans. Mr.. Pugh
was followed by Mr.. j. F. Pierson
with half an hour. He foamed and
stewed over the "wah," something
that has been settled so far as the
people are concerned, for twenty
FIVE years. He also tore his shirt
over the old twaddle of ''negro
domination" but he very ingeni-
ously omitted to tell the people
that the Peoples party had offered
to eliminate this question from the
campaign, but the Democrats re-
fused the proposition.
1t seems that if there is any
chance under the sun to revive the
old reconstruction antipathy be.
tween the negro and the white
man, the Democrats are determin-
ed to do so by constantly agitating
this question, and the fact that
they have refused to settle it in the

settled down to a normal business
condition where they will remain
peaceably and quietly if the Demo
Gratis will let them. To say the
least of it, such nonsense comes
with bad grace from party whose

ton. Mr.. Vincent showed couclu-
sively where the Democrats were
equally responsible with the Re-
publicans for the contraction Of the
currency. We would like to give
more of his speech, but space will
not admit it.

A few years ago when the re-
form papers said that the contrac-
tion of the currency would put cot
ton down to 5 cents, and wheat to
35 cents, they were called fools,
cranks and anarchists. We want
to know what you think about it
now.
