We have heard various express
sions of surprise from democrats
at one of the leading editorials of
the Enterprise of last week, which
was clipped from the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, a rank Republi-
can as well as goldbug paper.
We also must confess to a little
surprise at the tone of that article
as well as the reading between the
lines of the article headed, "The
State Bimetallic Committee meet
ing" for we had understood that
under Its new editorial manage
l~ent the Enterprise was be for
silver in reality, but we fail to see
a single line in either of the last
two issues that indicates any ankle
ty for the success of the silver
movement.

Special to The Times Democrat.
Montgomery, Ala, July 31.-Col. Troy,
the president of the Alabama State Bar
Association, one of the foremost lawyers
and citizens in the State, an old-time
Democrat, but silver advocate from
honest conviction, and no office-seeker,
writes to-day the following cOmmunica-
tion to the Montgomery Evening Journal {:
July 81, 1895.
editor Journal-I thank you for the
kindly sentiments expressed for me in
your paper yesterday. My determine
tion to cooperate with the Populists in
the State election, in opposition to the
0rgsnized Democracy, comes from con-
viction that the fight for honest elections
and for free silver cannot be fairly con-
dhcted inside Of the organized Demo-
cracy.
s'The reasons which led to this convic-
ton arc stated at length in q commune
cation to the Sheffield Standard aid /
am constrained to believe that when you
have fully considered these reasons you
will 'havea better opinion of my judg-
ment in this matter. Yours very truly,
I'D. s, TROY"
Still we are dying out you know,
can't never accomplish anything,
and We are led only by office-seek-
ers, you know.

Pollock, La, Aug. 18th, '95.
Mr.. H. L. Brian:
Dear Sir-Please allow me space
in your paper to answer a letter
written by r. L. Tannehill, in which
he states that l am an Office seeker,
also, states that l supported the
Lafayette combine.
Now Mr.. Editor, in advance, /
will say that fought the Lafayette
Combine from start to finish, as
the records will show. Further
more, l supported the Populist
ticket headed by r. l.. Tannehill ;
| worked thirty days and spent one
hundred dollars of my own hard
earned money. l do not regret it !;
| would do the same again if it
was to do over.
Now then, as to being an Office
seeker, have this to say, that l
am not a candidate for any office,
as 1 have no political aspirations !;
| have been asked by many of my
friends to let my name 60 before
the people of Grant parish for
Representative to the Legislature,
but l have never agreed to do so,
believing there are manymen more
suitable than myself. If l can see
every man have an equal opportuni-
ty to make living, it will be earth
ly glory enough for me i; to get
this, we must stay right in the
middle of the road, and if we fall,
we will fall to rise again.
With best wishes, Iremain yours,
Respectfully,
A. W. STEWART.

STATION, Aug. 90. '95.

The Texas and Pacific railroad
has just established new station
2 miles west of Derry, and called
it Henryville. Said place is also
on Cane river, and will soon be the
town of this rich and beautiful
valley, for Jno. II. Henry, mer-
chant of the place is a hustler. He
has shipped to Mr.. S. p. Walms-
ley, of New Orleans, from Henry
vile station, the first new bale of
cotton of his section, and supposed
to be the first of the parish. Said
place is in the very nest of the
Populists, and should have been
called Populist station. Mr.. Jno.
w. Brown and Mr.. Robert May
bin, were at Henryville to-day.
Mr.. Brown told us he was red-hot
after votes-of which he has many
around Henryville.

At present there are 9,017 candi-

1t becomes more evident every
day that the Democratic party is
managing the silver boom, and that
it is doing it not to the end of
splitting the party, but to prevent
its disintegration. Next year the

of the gold-bugs-in the interest
of harmony, you know.-New Or

Original and Only.

Through a prominent small farm
er" our neighbor, the Enterprise,
has at last discovered the original
and only reason why the Peoples
party was organized.
We are under many obligations
to the Enterprise for this valuable
information which we have been
unable to obtain elsewhere. But
we shall not forget in our compli-
ments, that prominent small farm
er" who has been of such inesti-
mablc service to the Enterprise.
1t occurs to us that the Enter
prise owes great debt of graft
tude to the farmers of this parish,
especially to those farmers who are
small, but prominent who can't
read and who can't spell. To the
two latter classes the Enterprise
owed its clear and logical informa-
ton on the money question, which
few months ago it was dispensing
in favor of the gold standard and
now it is under equally great obi
cations to a small, but prominent
farmer, for one of the startling
discoveries of the hour.
But our readers must know the
discovery, as given in last weeks
Enterprise by said small, but prom
inent farmer.
You see the Democratic party
has ever been against Office hold
ing, and it has been the biggest job
the leaders have had to find men
willing to fill the offices, especially
those that have fat salaries attach
ed. Even the present editor of the
Enterprise, patriotic as he is, could
not be induced in the last cleo
ton to 90 into the Clerks office,
Notwithstanding the very good sal
airy attached thereto.
Now, as in all good movements,
there were some 'black sheep" in |
the Democratic party who wanted |
office, and as that was against the
rules, they had to get out. So, for
mutual protection, these Office
seekers formed the Peoples or 3rd
party.
Now all of this has been discov-
cred by "a prominent small farm
err" and revealed by the Enter
prise, and is very encouraging to
the said office-seekers, for as the
Peoples party is the ofiice-seekers'
party, the office-seekers must all
come into it, and this Will insure us
4 very large influx from the present
Democratic party, as we know of
seven candidates for sheriff, and
TWO for clerk, and none for repre-
'entdtires in that party.
We are little puzzled to know
what this parish will do for repre-
in the next Legislature,
Is neither party offers any candi-
lates, but the Enterprises ''prom-
nent small farmer" seems to think
hat as the Peoples party contains
III the patriotism, it should furnish ,
he legislative ticket. Well we /,
hink so too, and we'll just attend
o that job a little later on, so that
he Enterprise and his three farm {
rs may sleep soundly through the
valance of fly time.
