dent and Secretary.

And in order to secure this end. this
league announces the following princi-
pies;
1st That we shall urge upon all
Democrats the absolute necessity of Sc.
curing from the parish Of Natchitoches,
to the State nominating Convention a
delegation instructed to vote for plank
in the platform of the party unequivo-
cally pledged to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
1, and. that independently of any other
country
End. That in order to better secure
this end, We pledge ourselves not to
vote for any delegate, candidate or of
ficer, from Governor to Constable, who
is not known to be absolutely in barmo-
ny with these views.
Bird That we demand an absolutely
fair election, free from any suspicion OF
fraud. and the enactment of such q law
as will forever remove from the State 8
escutheon the stigma of fraudulent cleo
tons.
4th. That we regard favorably the
movement to submit the silver question
to Il white primary, as it affects the
whole people. We therefore urge upon
our member of the State Central Com
mittee, that he use every effort to have
that committee order such a primary.
both for the settlement of the silver
question, in so far as this State is con-
eerned. and for the selection of candi-

election between white men, it ought
not to be elected to office.

selves as members of this club, and use
