The Louisiana populist., 1895-12-20
Strength Of the Popul1sts.

I
election last month. 1t had beer
expected that they would max,
heavy gains in consequence of the
hard times and popular dissatis.
faction with the Democrats. and
that many Democrats who would
in ordinary years have voted the
regular ticket would vote for the
Populist this time by way of a
protest.
The returns seemed to indicate
to the contrary. Instead of the
Populists profting by the dissat-
isfaction with the Democracy, the
Republicans apparently gained all
the advantage and swept every
thing before them. This is, how
ever, merely appearance. As Il
matter of fact, the PopuliSts adj
dcd very materially to their vote.
and the party is undoubtedly
growing in strength, in spite of
the claim of both Democrats and
Republicans to the contrary. That
gain, however, is in the North and
Vest, and in the South there is a
falling off, as evidenced in Miss
issippi.
Gen" CoXcy, for instance. who
ran for Governor of Ohio on the
Populist ticket, received $3.50.
against 5,563 votes received bv
the Populist candidate in 1893.
In the seven States from which
Populist returns have been receiv-
ed their vote Is 110,S55, against
40, go in the last corresponding
elections and 147 ,034 for President
in 1892. This is better showing
than expected. 1t should be re-
membered that there was a very
material falling off in the vote,
even the Republicans losing votes
in spite of their victory. If this
is remembered, it will be recog-
nized at once that the Populists,
they have elected fewer
of their candidates than hereto
fore, are stronger than ever in the
matter of Otes.-Timcs-
Democrat.
Forced to acknowledge at last
that your Associated Press lied,
are you! Well, honest confession
is good for the soul.
We agree with you most hearth
ly that the Peoples party is gain
ing rapidly in the North and West,
and will give you another bit of
news that your Associated Press
lied about: ''ln Colorado last
month the county elections showed
1000 Populist majority in the
State"
Now then if you will only In
vcstigate little further you will
lind that you arc quite as badly
about Populism in the
South as you have been about it
IN the West.
Suppose you write to the Sec
'etary of State in Mississippi for
he Populist vote of that State
md publish it in your columns. 1t
will not hurt your paper to pub
ish the truth, nor will it make |
he cause of your rotten party |
worse to know the real strength of |
rour opposition.
We can tell you this much about |
Mississippi. Notwithstanding the
act that Populism was. indorsed
~ the Democratic party IN that
State, and the National Democra-
y denounced, we came within 200
'otcs and less of carrying over 40
Ounties IN the State.
In other words, we made the
Democratic party do right, and
hen came very near defeating the
'arty, and the Populists there are
veil satisfied with the result.
The Democrats have nine States
mt of forty-five in the Union in
which they have not been defeated
n the last two years.

The Populists of Grant parisl
want a good clean Populist Stat

cannot he had, then we are no
bound by tate convention. W.
have already had an overdose o.

to submit to any more of them

Peoples Demands.
Why, Mathis, what's the matter
with your parish and judicial tick
ctsl Aren't they good, clean,
etc!" Surely there's no halfway
Populists, fusions, dickcrs, etc,
on them.
You talk like you are sore over
the part already done, your parish
and judicial work, and that you
want something better in the bal
ancc.
You seem to bc acquainted with
a great many kinds of Populists,
but those who know you best think
you are great many kinds your
self.
You talk very freely of not be-
ing 'bound" bya State convention.
Some of your delegates to the
Senatorial convention last Satur-
day talked the same way about
that convention. What sort of
fix would you and your parish
ticket be in if the Populists in
Grant take the same unruly no
tions in their heads, and refuse to
be bound, like you and your Sena-
torial delegates 2
Your nominee for Clerk was one
of the boys who talked so loosely.
You boys should be careful, we
want to land your parish ticket,
but we can't do it, if you 90
around teaching insubordination
and boiling.
Your remarks in same issue
about your Judicial ticket are fun
ny, as we'll as harmless.
You pushed those judicial nomi-
nations on, and now you are got
ting sick of it. We hope it will
vomit you like Ipecac and clear
your stomach of bile, then you
will perhaps see better. Did you
know that a bilious person couldn't
see well! Satisfied you didn't,
Dut It's q 1act.
Well now-we think you fell
,ut with Hundley because the
gave him a nice puff
IN his paid announcement.
This is no cause of action. Mr..
GOODWIN would do the same if
Hundley would plank up the Sl5.
lou would puff the rottenest Dem
,crat in tho country for his money,
md we wouldn't blame you. Look
low you dld j. Q. Long. Took
lis money. Pulled him to the
kies as a good and consistent
'opulist, and then helped your
riends to quietly peddle that he
vas Democrat and the tool of
Democrats, sent into the party as
Trogan horse, etc.
Don't fall out with Hundley |
bout little things like that. He
J a better lawyer and quite as good
'opulist as your glorious friend
fachen.
You seem to be very positive
bout what the Populists of Grant
amt, just as if you represented
)me of them. The world would
e wiser and we'd better satisfied
you could tell what you want.

Police Investigation

Some rather racy things are coming
up before the investigating committee
Councillor Simons, Mayor holbrooB
and Councillor Ward. hearing Marshal
Knights charges against Night Police.
men Hatton and Elliott. The marshal
lays it down cold that no policeman
working under him must 90 into any
saloon in the city and take drink OF
beer or whisky although they NAV take
cigar because he, himself, does that.
He charges that Hatton spends most OF
bis time on Elliott's beat and in the
saloons; that both men have been seen
in the saloons drinking after u O'Clock
at night and brings Councillor Ross be-
fore the committee to prove it. Ross
says he never saw the men in a saloon
after hours himself, but he has heard
men say the nightwatchmen are guilty
of going in and taking drink with the
bartenders after midnight. On the
night that the bartender at the Dia-
mond was pulled for keeping after
hours 1.-THE night before Christmas) the
nightwatchmen allege that they were
in there only very few minutes when
the officers came upon them al ten
minutes to o'clock, that no one else
was in the room and they had gone in
| there by request Of the bar tender to re-
ceiye ga little Christmas present" and
cigar. The Christmas presents were
wrapped up in paper and no business
was transacted in the building while
they were in it. There are many
petty charges being brought up by
the marshal such as Mr.. Elliott has
Old Il 20 hc,, -.
steak of arresting him and taking him
to jail Mr.. Hatton has in his possession
key that fits the locks in the doors of
the upstairs rooms in the Excelsior
block in which it is understood men
take women for lewd and laciyious
purposes aud has not told the msrshal
that he had such key. Hatton saws that
be tried whole bunch of keys before
he found he had one that would fit and
was quietly working to get case
against the parties suspected and
bring it up as constable which office he
holds. He prefers TO bring up any
Eases he may get by virtue of the Office
which pays him. He is not paid for
being police. But the me at sensational
charge made by the marshal is that
some months ago he and Mr. ley
who was then a policeman arrested
two young men and two young women
one morning at about 2 O'Clock,
brought them from The Hines BLOCK
where they we're caught in compremis-
ing positions to police headquarters,
ran out and got the father of one of the
girls, consulted with him and then
discharged all four prisoners; that the
matter was never reported to him, and
he was in entire ignorance Of the occur.
renee for some days. Hatton explains
that he had no case against the young
people and that had they been kept in
durance vile and finally tried they
would have been acquitted, and the
only result would have been two young
girls would have been ruined for life
and the city put to unnecessary ex-
pense. The trial is still on as we go to
PRESS. Something may yet "drap."
If it does DISPATCH readers will know
it tomorrow.
