The Campaign in st. Landry.

The Democratic Campaign Commit
tee has established headquarters in the
building adjoining the Park Hotel on
the east, and the most encouraging re-
ports are coming in from the country.
AS the day for the primary approaches,
things are becoming more lively afcr-.. d
headquarters, and the Indications are
that "a large vote will be polled next
Saturday. The Campaign Committee
consists of Y. K. 1rion, chairman, John
n. Ogden, vice chairman. Thos. H.
Lewis, Raymond Breaux, L. A. Sandoz,
Chas. +. Burr and e. B. Audrus. On
Tuesday they issued the following cir
culars:
1t having. come to the knowledge of the un-
derslgned that certain candidates of tho Re.
publ1ean-POpulist Combine are indnstrlOusly
attempting to deceive the white voters OF this
parish into the belief that voting at the white
bind the voter to cast his ballot in favor of the
suffrage amendment at the general election in
April next, we take this method of denouncng
all such statements as utterly false.
Every man that votes at the Primary Election
will simply vote for the candidates of his
choice, and he will be entirely free at the gem
eral election to vote as he pleases upon the suf-
frage amendment, as well as upon all other
proposed amendments to the Constitution.
DEAR SIR: The undersigned Campaign Com
mlttee OF the Democratic party OF the parish of
St. Landry earnestly ulfect your attention to
the Democratic Primary Election that will
take place on Saturday. March 81, 1896, through
out this parish and judicial and senatorial dis
trict. 1t is of the highest importance that
every Democrat should participate in this Pri-
mary Election himself and should also exert
ALL his influence to induce others to do so.
The questions at ssne in this election and
the officers to be chosen, vitality affect the in
terests OF all the people, and every Democrat
who loves his country and his party should
take as deep All interest and as active part as
Ii
Let there be a rorlsing OutpOring of the Dem
ocracy at the polls on the 2lst Instant, and it
will strike staggering blow to the mongrel
Republican-PopulistC Combine that Is cOnspiring
to capture the State, District and Parish offices
and overthrow white supremacy and good gov
ernment.

CHARGED WITH tXTORT|ON
David and William Crowley of
the Electric Laundry
Arrested.
The Complaining Witness Is Charles
S Gruver, One of Their Shirt
IronerS.

Charles S. Gruver, 1914 Howard street,
swore to a complaint in Judge Campbell's 8
court yesterday morning charging David
Crowley and William Crowley with
extoItion.
In the complaint, which was drawn up
by Attorney Morganstern, it is alleged
that the Crowleys, who are proprietors of
the Electric Laundry, 2l5 Valencia street,
locked Gruver in their office last Saturday
and threatened to have him arrested and
placed in custody unless he should accede
to their demand 10 pay them $50, and,
having the fear that they would carry out
their threat and having money in their
possession belonging to him, he signed a
receipt for $50.
Attorney Morganstern said that Gruver
had been in the employment of the Crow
leys for the past two years. He was a
young man, 22 years of age, and was con-
sidered one OF the best shirt-ironers IN the
business.
81 presume" said the attorney, with
the object of blackening his character and
being afraid that he would leave them
and 90 to rival concern, the Crowleys on
Saturday took him into their Office, locked
the door and charged him with stealing
articles from the distributing room. He
in three or four employees in the Gistribu.-
ing department, who backed up their en-
ployers' assertion.
"Gruver was dumfounded, knowing
his entire innocence, and asked that he
should be allowed to send for his mother
or for me, but they refused to do so, and,
under threat of arrest and exposure,
made him sign the receipt for $50. They
were owing him about $50 for wag es.
"Gruver is quiet, hard working, honest
young man, and feels the slight upon his
character very bitterly. 1 want the
Crowleys to understand that in civilized
community such an act of extortion will
not be tolerated"
The Crowleys were arrested yesterday
afternoon and taken to the Seventeenth
street station. They Immediately gave bail
for their appearance.
THE charge of extortion is absurd, )" said
David Crowley last night. 81 hate to
speak about the latter, but the fact is we
had for months been missing articles from
the distributing department. Our suspi-
cions fell upon Gruver, and something
occurred on Friday to confirm them.
We called him into our office, but did not
lock the door, and told him of what we
accused him. He acknowledged it, and
we agreed to drop the matter if he paid us
$780, That was all there was TO it. He is a
tirst-class workman, and we overlooked
his faults for that reason"

UNDER DETENTION,
e. f. Clarke, Son of a New York
Wholesale Grocer, in the
City Prison.


E. F. Clarke, an elegantly dressed young
man, was arrested at the Palace Hotel last
night by Detective Ross Whitaker and
Policeman Smith Carr and is being de-

of friend to get cashed, and the friend
not having the money him SELF took the
draft to ]. A. Folger & Co., the wholesale
coffee and spice men on California street,
who discounted it.
