Democratic Convention.

The Convention which closed a
Chicago last Saturday was in many
respects remarkable.
First was the revolution in senti
ment which gave the silver peOpl,
almost 2-thirtls control of tn,
convention.
Second was the almost revOlu
tiOnary action of the convention in
taking the bit betN cen its teetl
and selecting silver chairman
against the chairman selected in
the usual way.
But the most remarkable as wei
as hopeful sign was the breaking
Ofall states, combinations and pans
pre- arranged by even the silver
leaders, when the delegates and
spectators following their feelings
went wild for the brilliant young
leader of the West, and left the
more staid and conservative old
warehouses; like Jones, Harris, Vest,
Morgan and others amazed, but
not altogether displeased.
In this convention the Democrats
have come as near the POpuiists
as they perhaps could do without
changing names, hence the gold
bugs, in their own party, are de-
nOuncing it as a POpulist convcn-
ton, as SOcialistic platform, as
an Anarchistic ticket, etc.
This independence of action and
revolution of sentiment is due al
most entirely to the efforts of the
Peoples party, hence many good
POpulists believe that to reap the
fruits of this work well begun, the
Peoples party should support this
ticket.
They perhaps forget that such
action in this State at least, would
destroy the Peoples party, because
the Democratic party offers no con-
cessions, save to allow the POpu-
lists to vote their ticket.
We have State convention i'm
Alexandria, August 4lh next, and
if the Democratic party can make
such concessions as will enable the
Peoples party to preserve its Or
ganizatiOn for future work, SAID
party may support the Bryan tick
et.

When Ananias lied the Lord
knocked him dead. Fortunately
for professional politicians this
practice is not in vogue. Fit was,
you couldn't get Democratic
speaker to address an audience
with sheriff. A man will take
chances on being punished hereaf-
ter for prevaricating, but when he
knows he will be knocked out at
once for Icing, he is apt to tell the
truth or keep his mouth shut.

it. This is about the way the bid
should have read, for the printing
went to the 30c.- per square bid of
the Enterprise, while the Populist
bid was 1899. lower, or 165 cents
per square. That's economy on the
same principle that was practiced
by a man who dropped macth in
the dark. He lit four to find the
one. Public interest is always sac
ri6ced to private greed, and this
printing contract is no exception
to the general rule

Hon. B. w. Marston of .,Red
River parish, one of the delegates
to the Democratic convention at
Chicago, created no little fun for
the crowd. He succeeded in drink
ing half a dozen glasses of ice wa
ter in trying to make a short speech,
and finally succeed in nominating
Mclean for Vice-president several
days later. A notable feature of
his second appearance was when
he was recognized by the chair,
the pitcher of ice water was re-
moved from within reach of ''tbe
et-headed cuss of the jungles
of Coushatta," as a Chicago paper
calls him. At any rate, the Hon.
b. w. was the fun maker of the
convention, and succeeded in hav-
ing his say.

the Angel of Liberty took Grover
Cleveland from the White House
in the dead of night, and left him,
ragged and hungry, in Oklahoma

RIVERSIDE, Sept 9.-It is estimated
by the board of supervisors that they
will be able to cut the levy for county
purposes down to within 81 on the

TO commence business for the new year
and the county not owing one dollar.

four supervisors elected in Riverside
county in 1896 will hold their office until
the first Monday in 1899, hence there Will
