A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Two Men Thrown From a Mail Wagon
and Badly Hurt.

Yesterday afternoon, about six O'Clock,
the mail express cart Of the American
Express company, was coming down
Congress street from Union station. On
the wagon WAS Mr.. P. D. Weston, the
driver an omploye of the express COM
pany, and Mr.. C. @. Goodwin, the Rock
Portland mail agent. The horse
attached to the wagon was young and he
got gay at something or other and struck
q great gait. The driver tried to turn
him out to the side of the street but the
wheels on one side of tine wagon slid
along the ear rail.
An electric car was coming from the
opposite direction but the motorman
brought his car to standstill. The
wagon had acquired such an impetus
that it struck the forward end of the
car. The force of the shook threw Messrs
Goodwin and Weston to the pavement
with much violence. Mr.. Goodwin was
badly cut about the head and very much
shaken. He is man of fifty seven years
of age. an old soldier and one of the most
reliable of railway officials. Mr.. Wes-
toms shoulder was thrown out of joint
and he was considerably bruised and cut.
City Auditor Leroy San orn, Officer
Quinn and number of others rushed to
the spot and helped the two men into the
drug store of Sohlotterbeck & Foss. They
also got the horse up. Mr.. Sapborn sent
for his carriage and took both the men
home.

Passed Through Portland for Boston
Yesterday.

Pinman,i accompanied by Mrs, Williams
and their dog, were in Portland yester-
day.

his wife and dog left Boston, penniless,
to walk to San Francisco and back, earn
their living as they went, and take orders
by which he should sell two million
papers Of pins and three million lead
pencils. After he got back to Boston he
was to dispose of ten thousand pencils at
retail, and he was to get through by the
third day Of October this year. If he
succeeds he gets a tidy little fortune of
about $25, 900 In the way of wagsrs and
commissions. II he losses he gets nothing
but the living he has earned. He could
buy no clothes during the year, and no
matter how much money he has earned
in any town, he must leave that town
without cent. Well, they have been to
San Francisco and back. walking every
foot of the way, he has sold all the pins
and pencils demanded in the contract,
save about three hundred of the pencils
which he must retail between now and
the third Of October.

OWEN, MOORE & co.
Riverton Park.

A number Of young people enjoyed a
trolly ride to Riverton last evening and
attended the summer theatre.
Remem Der that the last opportunities
will be afforded today to see Howard
Comiqua Novelty Co. at the Park. Wylie
and Sanford, E. W. Emerson, and Il. f
Wait have all made decided hits during
their visit and the only thing to regret ID
that the weather has been SO erratio.
Mr.. Manuel Roman has delighted hun.
dreds by his delicious tenor voice. and
Mr.. Il. g. Tricky has particularly pleased
with his piano solos and accompani-
ments.
A most agreeable trip in this delightful
autumn weather today will be to take the
car at the corner of Pre- BILE and Congress
street, go to the park. let the children
try the merry -go-round, and play with
the squirrels. Then tako the steamer, or
launch, and sail up the Presumpsoot view
ing the magnificent coloring of the chang
ing foliage. On the return attend the
summer theatre and hear the Howard
Co. and then wind up with nice lunch
at the Casino and enjoy a cigar on thu
wide balcony of the house. Few citie.
can give better trip for the money.

Alexandria Daily Town Talk
thinks there was $S00e in Aicxan-

vention to indorse the Su9ar-plalt-

We should not wonder If these
surmises are correct, but the $1,000
didn't seem to have much effect,
nor do we believe that $50, 600
more would have had the desired
effect. It's great pity Town
Talk can't say as much for the
Democratic conventions, and she
probably could if she would send
old "wool-hat' and ''copperas-
breeches" as delegates, with just
enough money to pay fare there

"splurgc" on somebody elsc's
money.

they might omit the Monroe Doc

there's one thing that can be said
to their everlasting crcdit-they

As long as this can be said of

That EsrOnckO Buck cd.

At the great Hotel Royal meet
ing of Sugar-planters where they
named a ticket for we Pops to en-
dorse, Mr.. w. Z. Howell, of La
fourche, said that Gov. Foster
rode into power on the shoulders
of the Populists, and he saw no
good reason why the planters
should not ride him out of power
on the same animal. \
So after duly blindfolding him
through Chairman Booth, the sad
die was tied on him at Alexandria,
and great Scott you ought to have
seen that Broncho buck. Fuckette
picked up pieces for two days af-
terward. Pugh said he was glad
of it, that he didn't want to ride
nohow.

his weather eye open, and the
politicians are busy finding out
"where they are at"

is a born leader.

Perfectly Natural,

The largest, most intelligent and
most representative Populist con-
vcntion ever held in this State,
met in Alexandria last week.
Large elements of strength had
been offered it from both old par
ties !; the basis had been laid for
gathering these clements into our
party and with a representative
ticket upon broad, liberal, but
Thoroughly Populistic platform,
marching to victory in April.
That we didn't do it, is giving
Fostcr the only sound sleep he has
had since the Shreveport farce.
Why we didn't do it, is a ques-
ton that is puzzling our enemies
as well as our friends.
If there is no good reason for
our failure to do the sensible thing
when it runs up in our path, then
we had better quit monkeying with
politics.
But we believe there was the
best reasons in the world for our
convention not doing what it went
to Alexandria to do.
We believe also that every OBJ
servant member of that convcn-
ton knows what those reasons
were.
We believe further, that it is the
patriotic duty of every Populist
who knows these things to tell
them to the world, in order that
his party and its cause and HIM
self may not have to bear a blame
that does not and should not at
tach to them.
We have told 1t upon the street
corners and in the highways ever
since we left Alexandria, and now
we shall advertise it.
At the Conference in Alexan-
dria, Nov. 26th, 1895, it was agreed
by the r-planters, Populists
and Republicans, that the Peoples
party should load this fight through
its own organization and under its
own name; that some such man as
Judge Gunby Of North louisiana,
who would break away from the
Democratic party and head the
ticket, would be the strongest man
to lead the fight; that while the,
silver Democrats, Sugar-planters
and Republicans did not desire to
name the personnel of the ticket,
the Populist convention would Sc

The Louisiana populist., 1896-01-17

Bro. Booth lost his fight for flu
sion with the Sugar-planters by
keeping his plans to himself and
depending on "bossism" and de-
ception to win it. He would have
lost in an open, fair fight, but he
would not have been disgraced as
we'll Us defeated.
We wanted to draw all the op-
position to Foster into our party,
bringing enough Silver Democrats
in from our right to offset our
Sugar-planter allies from the left,
and thus "keep in the middle of
the road.'
In Bro. Booths plan of co-ope-
rating with the Republicans alone,
we would be afraid of being undu-
ly influenced by so large an ele-
ment from one side only.
Never deceive the people in what
you are trying to do, Bro. Booth,
and they will forgive you when you
go wrong. For your Alexandria
mistakes, they never can.

fidence in their vote of last Satur

several factions ana tnclr own,
such a ticket as would he thorough
ly representative of all elements
opposed to Fosterism; that the
campaign for this ticket was to be
conducted, especially in North
Louisiana, and wherever else the
party was strong, through the
Peoples party, its speakers and its
press. -
If this is not the substance and
spirit of that agreement, we Will
thank j. T. Howell, j. w. McFar
land, b. w. Bailey, Hon. A. Be-
mott, l. j. Mills, Andrew Hero,
Jr., or any of the other estimable
gentlemen present and partlcipa-
ting in that conference, to correct
us.
The only parties to this agree
ment who violated it prior to the
Convention, were the Sugar-plant-
ers when they nominated the par
tial ticket at Hotel Royal, and had
same presented to our convention
for completion and Endorsement at
Alexandria.
The Republicans kicked at this
unwarranted action of the Sugar
planters, and the Populists paid no
attention to its until their conven-
ton in caucus at Alexandria dis
covered that their heretofore trust
ed leader, Mr.. A. b. Booth, favor
ed and urged the acceptance.of the
Sugar-planters ticket, when they
promptly sat down on the propo-
sition.
Mr.. Booth, finding nine-tenths
of the convention in favor of NOM
mating Judge Gunby for Govern
or, as against Pugh, the Sugar
planter nominee, took a new
stack" to defeat Judge Gunby and
land the Sugar-planter nominee.
Taking advantage of the conf
dence Populists had in him for his
8 years service in the party, he
demanded that a straight" Popu-
list be placed at the head of our
ticket, and then actually begged
for the nomination for himself,
comparing his party service, his
shrewdness and his availability,
with that of Judge Gunby.
In the meantime, Judge Gunby
was begging his friends to not NOM
mate him, and pledging bis sup
port to our ticket.
As yet no man in the convention
doubted Mr.. Booths honesty and
sincerity, and though regretting
his inexplicabIe desire for the of;
fee they gave him the nomination
in good faith, little dreaming that
it was Booths intention to turn it
over to Pagh and the Sugar-plant-
ers little later on.
But to their utter modification
and surprise, before the ticket had
been hardly completed, they found
Booth begging such men as Gam
bic, Howell, Benoit and McFar-
land, to assist him-in preparing"
the convention to accept his re-
signation from the head of the
ticket in order that Sugar-plant-
er might take his place.
These gentlemen promptly cx-
posed Booths treachery to the
caucus, and the excitement was in
tense.
The caucus then tried to get Mr..
Booths resignation, but not for the
purpose of filling his place with
Pugh, but Mr.. Booth was too sharp
to come off the ticket unless he
could turn it over tothe Sugar-plant-
ers to whom it seems he was under
obligation, and by whom it seems
be was and Is controlled.
Failing to get him off the ticket
all those who knew. of Booths
treachery began to resign whore
they had been nominated, and to
decline when a nomination was Of
fered them.
