The Populists of Louisiana are justly
incensed at the members Of their execu-
tive committee for virtually disbanding
and disrupting their party organization
aud turning it over to the Republican
sugar-teats. Messrs. Bran and Bailey,
formerly of VIM, and w. L. Shackel-
ford and j. E. Dunn, Of Grant, were ring.
leaders in this transaction, and we con-
fidently expect to see the people admin
lister a well-merited rebuke to these
gentlemen for their high-handed and
unblushing effrontery in that political
dicker.

Editor Colfar Chronicle:

A meeting of the first ward club No. l
was held at this place in accordance with
the call of the president, W. G. Carter,
who raped tho meeting to order and
announced that the meeting had been
called for the purpose of ratifying the
action of the Republican parish conven-
ton. There were by actual roll call los
voters present and participating in the
proceedings of tie club. The meeting
unanimously endorsed the actions of the
convention, and on motion duly second
ed, the club by unanimous vote en-
dorsed the candidacy of the Hon. Jno. A.
Williams for the legislature. The presi-
dent made stirring address in advocacy
of the ticket, and then the house called
ON Prof. ]. H. Davis, who spoke very
earnestly for the ticket as nominated by

read by Mr.. Hadnot and heartily adopted,
as follows:
We your committee on resolutions
would report the following:
Resolved, That we the Democrats OF
Grant parish renew our fidelity and ale
glance to the great Democratic party, to
which our nation owes it's most advanced
ideas of progress and prosperity, and to
which our beloved State in particular is
indebted for redeeming it from the dark
days of reconstruction and placing gov
ernmental affairs in the hands of the
people.
Resolved, That we are gratiied to have
with US to-day Gov. Murphy j. Foster,
who has been u grand leader of our peo-
pie in many of the movements which
have led to this result, and We hereby
endorse his administration, and CON-
mend the action of the Shreveport con.
vention in placing him before the people
for reelection, and pledge ourselves to
use our best endeavors to again place
him at the helm of State for another four
years.
Resolved, That we the citizens and
settlers of Grant parish are indebted to
the Hon. N. y. Blanchard for the noble
and effective efforts put forth by him in
the halls of Congress, whereby our rights
the encroachments of gigantic land syn
dicates, and it gives US pleasure to ex-
press our appreciation in his presence to-
day.
Resolved, That we view with distrust
and adherence the insincere and incon-
gruous combine that has been made in
Louisiana between the bounty grabbing
Republicans aud the Office seekers of the
Populist party, and we denounce said
combination as traitorous attempt to
overthrow good government and place q
set OF Adventures and freebooters in
power.
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to
use every endeavor to elect the nominees
OF the Democratic party, and thus thwart
and avert the evil consequences which
we believe would follow the election Of
the Republican Populist ticket.
JOHN p. HADNoT, Chairman.
At night the young folks gathered at
the town ball and utilized the services
of the brass band in q grand ball, at
which Gov. Foster and Senator Blanch-
ard appeared, and each selecting part
set as a mark of appreciation for the
many courtesies extended to them by the
citizens during the day. The governor
and his party took the train about 1890
o'clock, and the adieus at the depot
closed the chapter for this enjoyable
daY.

The "Guts" of the Item.

From expressions lately used by IN.
sider," of the N. o. Item, we are led to
believe the writer of the political squibs
under the Insider head is one @. d. Nc
Pickett, newspaper subsidizer and
Doodle dispenser in the lottery campaign
four years ago. As the belly OF the lot
terry he doubtless accumulated filth
galore. We believe he was the confiden.
tIal agent for the lottery managers, and
sent up a wad Of money to buy out TIE
CHRONICLE, but we refused the bride,
which appears to be matter of incom.
prehenslon to him; hence his late insin.
uations and malicious language toward
the editor of this paper.

The total number of registrations up
to date are 1920. Allowing $40 for
doublets, deaths and removals, will put
the total number OF voters in Grant par
ish at about $500. OF this number less
than70O are colored, and fully 200 are
white voters; 30 it appears that the
whites now outnumber the negroes three
to one in this parish.

If we are to Judge from the wording
of call which we learn the Pop leaders
are to issue for a meeting OF their execu-
tive committee at Fairfield next week,
they are engineering a scheme to make
trouble in Grant parish similar to the
st. Landry complications. There Is no
call for infiammatory appeals or incen-
diary suggestions in Grant parish.

While at Pollock last Saturday Gov.
Foster ordered out a company of troops
to quell the troubles in st. Landry par
ish. The leaders of the two opposing
factions joined in the request for troops,
and their presence is said to have had a
most beneficial effect in quieting and
dispensing the armed mobs. One or two
men on each side have been killed and
wounded in st. Landry in the last few
weeks. and general engagement seemed
almost certain if the factional leaders
had not called on the governor for help
to put down the trouble they themselves
had created.

A full pardon has been granted Ed
Clifton, convicted of robbery in Grant
parish, March, 1895, and sentenced to the
penitentiary for three yeare. The rec
ommendation was signed by the attor-
ney-general and trial Judge This was
an exceptional case for executive clen-
ency. and will be recognized as an act of
mercy and justice. Ed Clifton was the
least guilty of the three negroes who
robbed the peddler in Montgomery, and
was virtually convicted on his own testi-
mony, as he confessed his presence at
the time, but denied participation in the
crime. The real criminals have never
yet suffered for their acts, and the hope
is entertained that Clifton's evidence
may aid the district attorney in estab-
fishing their guilt beyond any doubt.

rience proved that drinking large quantities
Of cold water after violent exercise, espe-
cially while cruising in ths tropics, caused
many deaths. The water tanks on the bat

cretion. The water tanks on the vessel are
connected with innumsrable little rubber
