How The Fusion Was Made.

How The Fusion Was Made.
The Populist campaign commit
tee and the Democratic sub-com-
mittee having charge of the nego-
tiations for a common electoral
ticket, met at the capitol at noon
Sept. Oath.
The members of the Populist
committee present were: Hardy
Brian, of Natchitoches; A. W.
Stewart, of Grant; F. s. Lyons, of
Ascension; j. H. Crawford, of
Vim; Josiah Kleinpeter, of East
Baton Rouge; Peabody, of New
Orleans; q. L. Minton, of Living
ston; A. A. Gunby, of Ouchita, H.
Brian proxy.
The Democratic subcommittee
was composed of j. M. Foster, of
Caddo; Geo. III. Ellis, of More
house; ]. T. McClelland, of Madi-
son; D. G. Scarborough, of Match
itoches; w. w. Heard, Of Union;
r. E. Milling, of VIM.
The Populists in their caucus
which was in session all day had a
conference with j. W. Mcfarland,
of Claiborne, one of the candidates
for elector at large on the Populist
ticket, r. ID. Wilde, of Orleans, d.
e. James, representative from
Winn, G. G. Ross, of Virginia, and
others.
The Populists sent 9 written
communication to the Democratic
committee embracing the following
propositions:
l. That both parties should
pledge themselves to honest cleo
tons.
2. That they should divide the
electoral vote, each party taking
four electors.
3. That they should divide the
congressman by conceding to the
Populists the candidates for Con-
gress in the Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth districts.
The Democratic committee sent
a written reply accepting the first
and second propositions, and re-
jecting the third, they having no
jurisdiction over the question Of
Congressman.
The Populist committee sent a
second communication embracing
two propositions. The first in re-
gard to a fair election, and the Sec
ond to have four Democrats and
four PopuIists on the Bryan cleo
toral ticket, but all pledged to vote
for Watson for Vice. President.
The Democrats rejected the last
proposition, standing on their for
mer agreement, which left the
Democratic electors to vote for
Sewall, and the Populist electors to
vote for Watson.
The Populist COMMITTEES then
asked for conference with the
Democratic committee, and it was
granted them, and a meeting took
place in the Governors office.
After staying in session until II
o'clock Thursday night and not be.
ing able to come to an agreement
the two committees adjourned un.
til Friday morning at 10 o'clock.

cause why they have not made their re-
port, and thereby be great saving to
the parish in the future.
We find that the public roads in the
parish are in very good condition, except
portion Of this end Of the road leading
from Colfax to Pollock, is obstructed by
fallen timbers, and no mile and finger
boards. Also the bridge across Indian
creek, near Mr.. Christian Starks, is in u
dangerous condition, and the road on
the river front, near the Nash place, is SO
narrow as to endanger travel along there.
Also, other points ON said road are so
narrow it is dangerous to travel.
In reference to the nuisance in the
back of court yard, we would suggest its
removal at once, and a suitable struct-
ure of the kind being erected under tina
river bank, at some convenient place, suf-
ficientlv elevated to be above high wa
ter. We find three small cracks in each
of the cisterns In the court yard, and
tern, which should be fixed, and in the
future might help to prevent another o.
currence Of q water famine and the ex-
pense of hauling same.
We further recommend the planting
OF some shade trees in the court house
yard, which would prove an ornament
to the town, as well as add comfort to
those attending court.
We have examined the Jail and find
the sanitary condition of same very bad,
condition that could be very easily
remedied. In order to procure the nec-
essary ventilation to the jail we recon-
mend that the inner door be made stron-
ger, 30 that the outer door could be left
open if necessary. We find the lower
floor of the jail in decayiug and bad
condition, the sleepers being rotten.
We have examined the parish treas
urer's books, and find 81 OH 80 on hand
and to the credit of the school fund, and
have made an effort to ind the amount
of indebtedness of the parish at present,
but find the books of this department 20
uneystematically kept that we can give
no insight whatever as to this indebted
ness.
The sheriff's books show as follows:
To amount Of taxes due parish

We find that the bouds Of the parish
treasurer. clerk of Court and sheriff are
not sufficient on account of some Of their
sureties not being solvent for the amount
signed for.
We also find in the eastern portion of
Grant parish several large saw mill
plants, and some large plantations on
Red River have been assessed Tar below
their proper valuation.
And we recommend that the Police
Jury of the parish investigate our CON-
plants, as we feel it our most sacred duty
to do all in our power to relieve the OPP
pressed condition Of the parish.
We extend our sincere thanks to the
court, District Attorney, Sheriff, and
Clerk of Court for many favors rendered
us during our labors, and now ask your
Honor that we be discharged.
Respectfully, JNo. l. MCCAIN,
Foreman.
