AS President Cleveland has
returned 'ssafe and sound" to the
National Capital, the report of his
assassination at Gray Gables last
week, is evidently a sensational
canard concocted in the fertile i'm

sired to immortalize himself as a
counterfeit edition of Munchansen.
His enemies can rest satisfied that
Grover Cleveland is still at the

EUREKA.

The Monroe Bulletin in a half
column article advocating the su-
peremiuent claims of Justice Sam
uel D. McEnery to denomination
by the Democratic party for Gov
ernor, exclaims with dramatic
pathos:
We all saw the need Of a giant
to break down the castle of Dem
ocratic despair and like the philos-
opher Of old, with lamp in hand,
we went hunting for A MAN!
We have found the MAN and he
is SAMUEL DOUGLAS MGEN-
cry, Of Ouachita.
He will be the next governor Of
Louisiana!
1t seems that the present editor
Of the Bulletin has quite a different
opinion of Justice McEnery, from
that which he was wont to express
during the lottery campaign. 1t
makes no difference as to the cause
which he represented and it is a
matter Of no material moment
whether it was moral or immoral,
holy or unholy, righteous or un-
righteous.
If he possesses the necessary
qualifications for Governor OF
Louisiana to day-and the Bulletin
vouches for them-he possessed
them in the same degree three
years ago. Hence we are unable
to conceive by what kind OF logic
we had almost said legerdemail
the editor Of the Bulletin will at
tempt to reconcile his eulogistit
advocacy of ex Governor McEnerl
to day, with that of his vitupera
tive opposition to him in tue Eos
ter-McEnery campaign.

POLITICAL CALDRON BOIL

The campaign is nowI on. The
political caldron has commenced
to boil in earnest and will soon ef-

day on which will be decided the

them, to appear before the people

Die we can of course, accord oul
support only to those who are de

Democratic nominees. Those who
are defeated must abandon theil

ably bound aud must abide b,

TIE REASON Is SELF EVIL
DENT.-The free silver journals
are complaining that the sound
money papers,, while continually
harping upon the advance in the
price Of cotton aud wheat, are
quite reticent as to the cause for
the low price of corn. The reason
is self evident. 1t is only another
illustration of the iuexorable law
Of supply and demand. The
largest corn crop in the history OF
this country, has been harvested
this year. The supply being
largely in excess of the demand,
has contributed to depress Tire
price, as it will that Of every other
agricultural commodity under sim.

No,FRAUD OR CORRUPTION.

The same familiar hue and cry
is resounding throughout the State
to-day, which we have heard for
the last ten years. At the incep-
ton of every State campaign, the
"outs" conclude that the only way
to GUST the Gins" and regain pos.
session of the gubernatcrial cita-
del, is to charge fraud, corruption,
ring rule &C., upon the administra.
ton seeking to %perpetuate its
power.
During the McEnery-Nicholls
campaign, the "outs" converted
themselves by a single wave of
the political wand into a band OF
angelic "reformers" and by the OPP
perfume killing OF Pat Mealey-
which had no political significance
secured a majority OF the nomi
mating convention and thus obtain.
ed control of the State adminlstra.
ton.
But after the sainted refolmer
was elected and qualified as chief
magistrate, it soon became appa.
rent that it was only the exchange
Of one ring for another. The same
condition Of affairs resulted from
the overthrow of the McEnery and
the triumph Of the Foster faction
Governor Foster simply substitut
ed his political friends to those
who had opposed him. His pred
%ecessors, Governors McEnery anG
Nichols had done the same thing
1t is only natural that a ma
should favor his friends, instead o
his enemies.
The periodical cry of fraud, cor
ruption and ring rule, with which
the ears Of the people are ,regalet
at the commencement of every gu
bernatorial campaign has no foun
dation in fact aud is only a pollti
cal device Of the "outs" to impos'
upon the credulity Of the peopl'
and thereby capture the Office.
Ring rule there has been ant
will continue to be, but there ha
been no proof Of fraud and corrup
ton adduced-nor can there be-
against either the administration
= Of McEnery, Nichols or Foster.
