the State. If the Sugar-Teat Republi-
cans and the Populists can carry this
State fairly they are entitled to it, and
to govern it for the next four years.
But the white Democracy Of Louisiana
will not stand any effort to organize the
negro as balance of power between
white parties or factions, and to thus
become the arbiters of the destiny Of
the StaS and the fortunes of our peo-
pie. Capt. Pharr has given his white
followers the order to arm and drench
the polls in blood; the white Democra-
cy will not evade the issne thus forced
upon them. The war has begun in St.
Landry. Let Capt. Pharr and his fol-
lowers beware how they carry it into
other parishes of the State.

Only One Issue.

THE re ports which appear in the daily pa
pers relative to the dlssensIons of Republican
managers are manufactured out of whole
may have existed have been put aside, and
the party now presents an unbrOken front in
the support of the Pharr ticket"
The above from the Republican, ne
gro paper published in New Orleans,
shows that the black mass of dense ig-
nOrance of the State has harmonized
and will be led on by the white pirates
to assault the battlements Of white su-
prrmacy and good government.
The, Ignorant and vicious hordes of
dark Africa have put aside whatever
differences which have heretofore ex-
listed" The hope OF a political triumph
which means the repeal Of such laws as
those prohibiting intermarriage be-
the races, and the Jim Crow car law
equality, and the breaking away of the
barriers that have been established by
our civilization and which have
kept the black creatures where
they belong, has been the incen-
tive to the negro to unite and support
the crew OF pirates who are hungry for
public spoils aud plumber.
The solid negro vote will 20 for the
mOuntebank and iguoramus WHO is lead
ing the combined hosts of venality.
They are to be marshalled iu uobroken
columns to make Que desperate effort
and to strike at the very heart of civli-
cation.
The fight is not against any faction,
nor Is 1t even against any party. 1t is
nothing moro nor less than il struggle
to establish negro domination and to
subject the white man. The white trail
tors who are leading the dark battal-
lions are actuated solely by selfish mo-
tives and greed; AS Judas sold Christ,
they would sell their State. A handful
deavoring to propitiate the national
party that happens to be in power, hop
nDg thereby to secure the restoration Of
the un-American and unrepublican
bounty, and are opening the most sa-
cred doors Of their inner chambers and
inviting therein the Inn. and digust-
ing cohorts of that party.
Is the picture not truly awful9 White
rule is paramount to party triumph,
and when the fresides of our civiliza-
are threatened as they are to-day, there
is no time for factional or party differ
ences. A victory for Democracy means
good and intelligent government, but
Il victory for Caucasians, when the
ebony sons OF Africa are arrayed
aRaist them, means more.
Louisianians know this, and with the
exception of few white skinned pi-
rates, are gathering under the flag of
liberty and freedom, and will win the
fight against ignorance, corruption
and sycophaucy, and will elect the en-
tire white State ticket by a majority
unprecedented in the history of our
politics.
The fact is assured, but the remote
possibility of a victory for the combined
enemies of the people should arouse
every white suffragan in the State and
force him to assist in the April battle.
A vote for Foster is vote for white
supremacy a vote for Pharr is vote
for negro domination, and that is all
there is Of it. Negro or white govern
ment is the only issue. Can any white
Louisianian hesitate moment iu max
ing choice 9-Iberville South.
