Our Nominee.

If Captain Pharr is gaining
friends throughout the State as
rapidly as he has in this vicinity
there can be no doubt as to result
of the election. Men who have
been Democrats all their lives re
cognizc that a change is necessary
in our affairs of State, that cor
ruption has held sway long enough.
They see in Captain Pharr an hon
est man who has nothing but the
good of the people at heart. A
gentleman who will if elected have
the laws enforced, and that justice
shall be meted out to tho rich ano
poor alike. He has nothing sci
fish about him, nothing to desire
for self. With him as Governor
Louisiana will flourish as she ha'
never done before.-Morgan City

The ''Regular" Republicans :
it is becoming, it seems, that when
Regular" Republicans is said we
must understand something akin
to Irregular" Democracy well,
the "Regular" Republicans of St.
Mary, that is the small coterie of
Republicans allied to Democracy
in Fosters parish, met yesterday
in ''parish conventional Frank
lin and 10 and behold ! nominated
a parish ticket-actually endorsed
the entire Democratic local ticket
from head to foot, not retaining
even the traditional Legislative
member which Democracy dishes
out to Negro confedcrates some
times. This remarkable body was
presided over by our old time
friend, w. b. Smith, the town
public school teacher and brother
of Judge Smith, Fosters alter
ego-half brother rather, for one
is colored and the other white-a
proof that white supremacy and
snti-miscegenstion law have full
swing at the Governors home. Z
Colored men who are selling out
| to Democracy in this campaign,
when freemen's dearest right-the
BALLOTS in the balance, are ma
hing a terrible record. 1t is dam
ning.-Daily Crusader.

declared for Pharr for Governor,
and against the suffrage amend

The difference between Foster
and Pharr as TO election methods
Is. that the Pharr ticket fayors 9
free ballot and q fair count, while
the Foster gang favors a fair bal
lot and free count that be pro

State Platform
Peoples Party of Louisiana.

/. We affirm our allegiance to
the pure principles of popular gov
eminent, as enunciated by Wash
ington, jefferson and Jackson, and
embodied in our National platform,
and we uphold the principle en-
bodied in the immortal declaration
that this should be "a Government
of the people, by the people and
for the people"
9. And especially do we de-
mand the free and unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver, at the
ratio of 16 to 1, with equal debt
paying power as primary money,
and full legal tender monetary
| system for the people of the Unit
cd States, without consulting any
foreign nation or money syndicate.
3. We demand for Louisiana
industries equal protection to that
afforded the Industries of other
States. An American, not Brit
ish system of commercial laws,
that no discrimination against our
agricultural and industrial classes
may be made.
4. We favor a just and liberal
system of public schools for the
benefit of all classes of our people,
and we deplore the fact that for
many years the management OF
| our public school system has been
so defective that the party now in
power seeks to disfranchise large
number of our citizens ON the
grounds of ignorance.
5. We denounce the disgrace
full and infamous election frauds
which have prevailed in Louisiana,
and we demand and are determin-
ed to have perfectly honest and
| fair election, at which each citizen
qualified to vote, shall cast his bal
lot freely and secretly, and the
vote shall be fairly counted as they
are actually cast. This is the su.
preme issue in this campaign, and
/! in its success the honor, manhood
and prosperity of Louisiana arc
involved. The foul and loathsome
methods which have brought the
ballot box suffer to the front, anC
fplaced him in power in Louisiana
must, in the name of liberty, jus
tice. morality and common decen
Icy, be suppressed.
6. We oppose and denounce thu
| proposed suffrage amendment, con
cocted by political schemers, not t.
purify and elevate the ballot boz
but to subserve their selfish pur
poses by providing contradictory
qualifications, to suddenly disfran
chise large masses of worthy citi
zens, by deluding the people wit
promises of changes in the mex
Legislature. We denounce tn
whole amendment as viciou
fraud which proposes measures an
methods that are un-American an
destructive of free institutions.
l 7. We favor the utmost econc
. my of expenditures, in State, clt
and parish, and pledge our candi
,, dates to strict and impartial en-
forcement of all laws, and the pres
: ervation and promotion of ever
, interest in Louisiana, whose we
