Democratic Enthusiasm.

The Enterprise of last week
says of the Democratic Executive
Committee which met the previous
Saturday, ''that its proceeding
were harmonious in the extreme y
always easy to harmonize small
crowd you know "and character
lied by old fashioned Democratic
enthusiasm" Next to Kentucky
our Democrats are noted for that
kind of enthusiasm, and it is a pity
that the supply will be cut of
on the first of next January, some
three months before the election.
In the next paragraph we are
told that the committee pulled the
silver question in out of the wet,
and that the Democratic party all
over the State is going to monopo-
lize the free silver issue.
We are satisfied that this mono
poly will extend fully up to the
meeting of the convention, barring
accidents.
Says further, ''No true Demo-
crat can object to this PLAN" Ger
tainly not, but wasn't there a fine
lot of Populists at the New Or
leans silver convention No
''true Democrats" there.
In the fourth paragraph we are
informed that the said committee
discovered and revealed four issues
for democrats in the approaching
campaign-one of them is free sill
yer and the other three is getting
the offices.
The brilliant paper sagely con-
cludes that a campaign conducted
on these lines will be eminently
successful, and we should think so
too, if it succeeds.

Acknowledges the Corn.

In our issue of July 5th- we
warned the Populists of Grant
parish that the same clique in part
that took the negro vote and filled
their ticket with undesirable men
in 1892, was again at work to re-
peat the operation for 1896.
When we exposed this trick in
1892, we got all sorts of abuse
from Traylor, Through the Ocala
Demands) who was the arch traitor
and cat's-paw then, and several
good Populists helped him to de-
nounce us, and threatened to let
some terrible cat out of a wallet.
We survived I!
Now when we exposed this same
trick that is being engineered for
1896, we were not surprised to find
Mathis, Through the Peoples De-
mands) who is the arch traitor and
cat's-paw in this deal, kicking Like
a bay steer. And he too, has in
duced some good Populists to join
him in kicking, and they, like
Traylor, threaten to turn some
ugly cats out of wallet in the
shape of letters, ETC., never stop
ping to think that they must have
been in bad company when they
got possession of such bad cats.
They owe it to the Populists of
Grant to publish any letters of

Niger IN i;ie Wood
Pile.

The Democratic party has de-
pended so long upon the negro race
in this State and the South for an
issue or hobby upon which to ride
into office, and has relied with
equal surety upon the same race
for material with which to stuff
ballot-boxes and ell tally-sheets,
that i can hardly turn loose after
it has become the laughing stock of
the civilized world.
1t matters not whether there is
any danger, or even any move
ment of the negroes. Some office
seeker like Mr.. Blanchard, has
only to draw upon his imagination
for some impossible combination
by which the poor helpless negro
is about to ride into the office he
himself wants, and then proceed to
run the easily deluded people wild
over the impossible probability,
force them to stick to the dear old
party, and elect him to a fat office.
We have known stalwart Demo-
Gratis to lay the plans and furnish
the money necessary TO organize
the Republican party, and put out
a ticket in certain districts, and
then yell themselves hoarse over
the danger of its success, only to
drive all independence out of the
people and force them to support
the ''rigular nominee"
People then who know these facts,
and we can prove them, will not
be surprised at Mr.. Blanchard's
prophecy in his letter to the Edi-
tor of the Town Talk the other
day. 1t is as follows:
''Iti is not at all imp obable that COM
of Republicans in South Lou
isiana with Populists in North Louisiana
may be formed, and an effort made by
such combination TO do in Louisiana
what was accomplished in North Carroll
Ma last November"
Mr.. B. by his own admission in
the same letter is candidate for
reelection to the u. S. Senate,
and desiring to hold the gold-bug
votes that elected him the last time
he pleads this miserable subterfuge
as an excuse that silver should not
be allowed to enter into State poll
tics.
We do not deem it necessary to
prophesy against Mr.. Blanchard's
silly assumptions, hut if Mr.. Blan-
chard will assert that anything in
the nature of such a combination
has been made we will give him

The Line Drawn BY Democrats
Themselves.
The Democratic Executive Com
mittee for this parish at its recent
meeting passed the following

Il hC i|tAliONibtlS I~ANNttl'O NOih
mittee for this parish at its recent
meeting passed the following:
Resolved, That the members of the
committee residing in the several wards
be and they are hereby instructed and
requested 10 organ ize Silver Leagues in
their respective wards; that all white
voters who favor the free coinage of gold
and silver at the ratio of l6 to !, and
who will support the nominees of the
Democratic party shall have the right to
become members of such Leagues.
So POpulists must stay out of
the Silver Leagues and Silver Dem
ocrats must quit monkeying with
Populists.
The Alexandria Town Talk, one
of the big Silver agitators says:
If the populists of Louisiana have
any political sense left, they will cease
being beguiled by Populst leaders seek
ing parish offices. and get back to the
Democratic party as soon as possible and
correct, by proper nominations, the false
Democratic principles that are prevalent
in National, as well as some State adj
ministrations.
Most of the men who are now
Populists in this State helped the
Town Talk to elect Grover Cleve-
land and Murphy j. Foster, both
of whom the Town Talk now de-
sires help to turn loose, and these
men are not such fools as to follow
Town Talk further in its gyra-
tions.
But these things with many
others, show that the Silver Demo
crafts in this State are determined
to give the goldbugs choice of
ground on which to make the fight,
that is, make the fight inside the
Democratic party.
There isn't goldbug in the State
but that is willing that you should
make AL the fight for free silver
you want, if you will only make it
inside the Democratic party, they
have no doubt as to the result.
That being the case, Populists
will 'hauds off," We have beg
ged and pleaded and incurred any
amount of abuse, that the fight
for free silver should be made on
non-partisan lines, so that victory
would be insured by bringing to-
gether the free silver element of
both the old parties, and all the
Peoples party, but the Democrat
ic party, as usual, is equal to the
emergency, scorns all offers of as
sistance, and pitches into the job
alone, so Populists will 90 about
their business, and as usual will be
the only party having free silver
plank in their platform.
AS we have said before, this will
be of considerable advantage to
the Populists as party, but it
will not advance the cause of silver
from its present status for four
years yet, and we had hoped to
get free coinage and relief for the
masses sooner.
The same influences that kept a
free silver plank out of the plat
form of Kentucky Democrats are
at work in this State, but are four
times as powerful, SO that there is
absolutely no hope for free sill
, er plank in the Democratic plat
form, and democrats can prepare
themselves to vote a goldbug tick
ct or Populist ticket, and the lat
ter will not be a bad thing to do.
