The Louisiana populist., 1896-02-21
Bro. Booths Address.
Continued from last week.

AOLtlUueU ITO0l l1St week.
But the most palpable falschood
is where Mr.. Booth joins the N.
o. Picayune in asserting that we
were in New Orleans between the
adjournment of the convention ON
the 10th, and the meeting of the
Central Committee on the 23rd of
January, consulting with Repub-
lican politicians. This is not true,
as we did not leave Natchitoches be-
tween those two dates.
He says that we hastily called my
committee together upon the ad
vice of the Republicans, etc.
If he cared to remember the
truth, Mr.. Booth was present
when the State Central Committee
met in the same hall Immediately
after adjournment, Of our State
convention, organized, fixed Alex
andria as the place for next
meeting, came very near fixing
time Of same, and the chairman
then and there announced that he
would call this meeting sometime
in January.
On the 14th day of January, We
sent eleven kilograms to as many
different papers announcing the
call Of the State Central Commit
tee on the 23rd.
As to Republicans being present
at the Committee meeting, Mr..
Puckettc was there, and represent
ed that Mr.. Booth would come
down, and if he ever represented
anyone else, we did not hear of it,
we had u telegram from the Su-
gar planter committee disclaiming
his representation. MIR. Wilde
was also there, claiming to be
MIR. Booths friend, and assuring
every one that Mr.. Booth wanted
only half a chance to 'honorably
resign.
Well, we gave him that chance,
and not only 50, but an opportuni-
ty to display patriotism which
would have done much to restore
the lost confidence of his friends.
He took it not, but has continu-
ed to stir up strife, interview and
quote Democratic newspapers, and
repeat his song, 81 Will not, will
not resign"
He acknowledges defeat at the
polls, but pleads his case by pre-
tense of love for the party organ
ization, while his acts are fighting
that organization harder than any
words could do.
He says that we ignored HIM on
our supposed visit to the city. On
our real visit there on the 29th of
January, We met him as of yore
and were publicly snubbed by him,
but survived the calamity.
He says we supported him in
our issue of january 10th, in
which his name does not appear.
The article referred to was written
before we left home to attend the
convention on January Sth, and in
writing it we had in mind Judge
Gunby, who was our personal
choice before the convention and
before the State Committee. We
have never been in favor of Booth
for Governor, and were forced to
vote for him as a dernier resort Of

The last we heard of Hon. Don
Caffery he was blowing his fog

coinage of silver, says the Clarion
Appeal. Don is a Cleveland gold
bug who has the great distinction
of receiving private letters from
the president with the tacit under
standing that Don shall have them
placed at once in the newspapers ;
and for that honor Don shoots off
his sonorous hazoo in behalf of the
gold standard.-Shreycport Cau-

As well as we remember Caffrcy
is product of the Foster admin
