THE STATE DEBT.

The first gun of the State Democ
racy was fred in Shreveport last
Saturday night. Auditor Heard,
who made the opening speech of the
campaign began by saying:
Zone not familiar with the inan-
eiaI history Of his state during the
last thirty years would scarcely be
credulous enough to believe that
during the nine years Of Republican
rule the state debt increased from
SO, 800 900 to $45 600 900, yet such
are the facts. For profigacy and
fraud committed during this time
| doubt whether its equal can be
found in the history OF any other
state in the union"
He then said one of the princi pal
measures before the people four years
ago was the maintenance and sup
port of the government upon the g.
mill tax. Many honest mel believ-
ed that 10 order to maintain our
public institutions to build and re.
pair our ~levees, to advance the cause
of public education, to detray the
current expenses of the government,
that the 6-mill tax was not adeq uate
for the purpose. We claimed that
with an honest and economical ad-
m%inistration of public affairs the
government could be run with this
tax, and | propose to show you to
day that we have kept our facts and
word with the people, who coufided
this great trust to our hands. If the
current demands OF the government
have been met; if the public and
charitable Institutions of the state
have been well and honestly
administered and the inmates
properly cared COR; if the great leyee
system has been wisely and judi
ciously advanced, and il the laws
have been enforced, | ask you, as
honest men, ought not that govern
ment be perpetuated rather than eff
feet a change by the support of a
ticket that represents neither the
Democratic party, the Republicans
nor the Populist party, but rather a
questionable mixture Of them ali?'
