The Louisiana populist., 1895-12-27
Democratic Record I'm Brief.

Prior to 1861 the Democrats do
mated to railroads go, ,420, ,929 acres
of land.
Later congress granted millions
of acres to the Union Pacific, and
only two Democrats voted against
it.
National banks were rechartcrcd
in 1882, and no Democrat has ever
introduced a bill to reIeal this
charter.
Only one Democrat voted against
the contraction act by which mil
lions of greenbacEs were burnt up
and interest bearing bonds issued
in their place.
Seven Democrats voted to repeal
the income tax IN 1867. If they
had voted the other way the bill
could not have passed.
In 1873 the Democrats assisted
the Republicans in demonetizing
silver and in 1893 tho Republicans
helped the Democrats to do the
same thing.
In 1886 a free coinage bill would
have passed if So Democrats had
not voted against it.
The Mckinley bill has been de-
nounced by every Democratic pa
per and speaker in the land, and
the Wilson bill which has recently
passed the house sis a miserable
makeshift." Give them more time.
In 1877 they loaned the whisky
ring the tax on liquor stored in
warehouses, and only IS Demo
Gratis voted against it. Still it is
unconstitutional to loan the farmer
money ON his cotton.
If the record that the Demo
Gratis have made and are now ma
king is not enough to drive every
man who loves his family out OF
the party, then nothing will do
it.-Exchange.
The Louisiana populist., 1895-12-27
The Other Ticket.

Mover in the whole history OF
Louisiana has there been afforded
a finer opportunity than the pres
ent for the good people to unite
upon a State ticket to beat the
machine. Fosterism is an eye.
sore it is obnoxious to all who
love what is pure in government.
1t stands for fraud and pretense.
1t stands for municipal jobbery
and thievery.
Much depends upon the compo-
sition of the ticket yet to be put in
the field. There was never time
when the people were looking more
to the personnel and less to the
partisanship of tickets. Honest
voters want honest men in Office,
and they do not care much for the
party label.
Those who arc considering the
way in which the anti-Foster State
ticket shall be framed should take
counsel from The Item. Put nc
old-time hacks of any party on it
put no men on 1t with records that
can be attacked. Steer clear of
men with over-wecning ambition.
Let moral towards alone. Nom.
mate good, clean, straight, bold
men, and thousands of voters will
rush to the support of the ticket
as happy relief from Fosterism,
Party ties rest lightly on the
shoulders of men these days. Give
us a good ticket, and the honesr
people will elect it.-N. o. Daily
Item.
