SitE2lion sn Grant Parish.

aS tiit L Cd' I lliSl HIS HNitt d
number Of subscribers in the adj
joining parish of Grant, we feel
1t our duty to warn our friends
there of a combination at their
county scat that is attempting to
rule the politics of the parish in
general, and the Peoples party in
particular with an iron hand. The
astuteness of their dictatorlal
plans is only equalled by the bold
ness with which they murder the
Kings English" and the imbe-
cility of what they choose to call
their argument.
In the State election Of 1892, the
white Populists of that parish, un-
fortunately for all concerned, in
vited the colored Populists into
their primary for nominating a
parish ticket. Schemers in both
the old parties joined with traitors
in the Peoples party, put out a
ticket, most of which they felt sure
the white Populists would not sup
port, and by polling few white
votes and solid colored vote,
they nominated most of their tick
ct. The party was shaken from
center to circumference. and seve-
raj efforts were made to repudiate
the ticket, but finally, with pat
riotism seldom equalled, the white
Populists rallied to the ticket and
elected 1t, with one exception, thus
beating the schemers at their own
game.
To avoid a possible repetition of
this game in the opening campaign,
many good Populists in that parish
are advocating a convention, to
nominate their parish ticket, but
this new combine of young men,
and younger politicians declare
with much verbosity that a con-
vention would violate the coastituN
ton of the Peoples party, and
that primaries alone arc orthodox
Populistic methods. /
Having succeeded in smothering
out this demand of the people for
protection from a recurrence of
the frauds of 1892, this fresh COM
bination crowed very loudly over
their supposed victory, and with
self-satisfied air looked them
about for ''new worlds to con-
quer." They had not far to look,
but this time they turned upon a
creature of their own creation.
We all remember, that much
against the advice of this paper,
as well as The Comradc and Winn
parish populism, this combination,
working through the Peoples par
ty of Grant parish, demanded ju-
dicial nominations and called for a
preliminary convention to that eff
feet. This convention met at
Winfield and adopted complete
straddle on the question for which
it was called, and then proceeded
to take up State politics, request
ing State chairman Booth, to Join
with others in a call for non par
tisan ballot reform conference at
Alexandria, ON July 4th. Com
plying with the spirit of this re-
quest, Mr.. Booth joined others in
calling the New Orleans mass con-
vention, which announced itself so
emphatically, not only in favor of
ballot reform, but in favor of an
other plank in the Populist plat
fOrm-free silver.
Now, this inconsistent, but
lovely combination is fighting
the result of the New Orleans con-
vention, in which they themselves.
took the initial step.
The real motives in all this SOM
ersaulting and gyrating are to land
part of the combination into Office,

So, boys, if you want to ride on
our band wagon, all aboard f! We
begin TO want to know who you
are, so we can make "a good selcc
ton to vote for.
Its only 3 months now till the
primary election, and this is big
parish, with Populists in every
corner of it, and in the middle as
well, and it will take every minute
of that time to get acquainted with
all of them.
Announcements of candidates
from constable to senator are in
order, and every day you put it
off, now, you are losing votes; peo
pie are making up their minds and
promising friends their support,
and if you are too late, you will
hear much of the excuse, IF ]
had known you were out | would
not have promised the other fel-
low"
Don't beat around the bushes
and think you can get the support
of Populists. They want to know
who their man is, and they are
going in to know where he stands.
We shall expect a half dozen an
nounccments in our next issue, and
the fellow who gets in that one
will have Just that much better
chance.
Don't halt between two opinions,
the public like a prompt, open and
frank announcement, and delays
are dangerous.
First come, first served. Next.
We regret to see old Winn, the
banner Populist parish of Louisi-

the Fopulists will deny her the
right to the Senatorship.-

Going to retaliate, eh, if we
don't do lust to suit YOU,
Our neighbor seems to imag
inc that the people of Winn have
become so thoroughly inocu-
lated with the Senatorial mania as
to have their reason half dethroned.
If our neighbor will, while he is
doing so much wholesome kicking,
submit some practical way in which
an honest election can be held, he
doubtless will strike the most vital
point of this question, and save the
people any more worry from this
source.
No, the people of Winn are vast
ly more interested in honest cleo
tons, than they are from what
particular section the senator
should come from, so long as he is
a good Populist.-Comrade.
Hurrah. for b. w. Bailey. You
can't buy his principles with Office.
He's not built that way.
For shame, Ed. Mathis, for very
shame /! That poor boy has work
ed and toiled and delved, almost
against hope, and without remu-
neration, while you, demanding a
salary of S45 per month, have sap
ped his paper of more than its
profits ever since he has owned it,
and the balance he owes you on
that extortionate salary you pro-
pose to hold over him as a death
knell to his paper, if you can't
drive him to your gold bug plan
by threats of defeat for an Office to
which he is so Justly entitled. And
unless the people for whom he is
SO nobly battling come to his res
cue, you will succeed with your
nefarious scheme.
