In.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
NEW ORLEANS, La. August 80. lS,G
The golt democrats of louisiana will put
out ticket The announcement came as
surprise. but it is a fact. Some time ago
a conference held, at which il was de-
cided that no third ticket would be put
out. on condition that the present gold
members of Congress from the first and
second districts of New Orleans Meyer
and BuCk-would be reiurred to Congress
by the regular democrats. 1t leaked out,
however, that the regulars were willing TO
DO This, but proposed to pledge them to
vote Tor FIRE" silver. was done in the casa
OF Gen Gatherings Of Mississippi. Under
THESE conditions the gold people had no adj
vantage at ALL and they decided to launch
me ihird party movement Chas. Janvier.
who led the recent municipal reform
movement so successfully last April; r. ii.
faffar, United States Senator Don Caf-
fery and :. few otter prominent Democrats
got up convention in two days elected
delegates 10 the indianapolis convention
ana VIII put up an electoral ticket If the
convention decides TO pat out ticket
They fol nd il pretty hard work getting
followers in some OF the wards. and only
SIX country parishes were represented in
the state convention: hut 1t was a good
nucleus from which TO start. and they are
deieimin TO make interesting cam
paign in the interest Of gold. The conNcn-
ton was notable for two spec ch"s delivered
one by Mr.. Farrar and the other br SEM
ator caff.ry. Their Pronunciation of tho
Chicago platform and its followers was on
ly limited by their vocabulary. Both pooh
pooej the great campaign cry OF the demo-
Gratis about negro domination. which is
really tho reason why large number OF
GOLD democrats. besides the politicians Will
support BrEa4 and S"wall
Lack of Funds.
The r. gClar democrats have done no,h-
ing as yet toward opening their campaign.

cannot get any from their usual sources
the business men OF the city-and the Of
flee holders are not disposed TO put UP lib
orally In the city there is a good deal OF
sulking. The democratic ticket was de-
feated at the last election. and while Gov
Foster has put a number Of the ward lead
ers in office, the great bulk Of the men are
out of jobs and will not put IN. Even ey-
Mayor Fitzpatrick, the local boss who is
an ardent supporter Of Bryan. IS Sulking in
Canada, because he WAS turned down by
the govern or. As for the farming clement,
the really enthusiastic free silvcrites they
nave no money, so the party is in bad
way financially. The plan proposed is 10
make he democratic candidates for Con-
aress put up for the campaign. hut the
most available men refuse to be MIXED in
that way.
McKinley's letter of acceptance Was very
We'll received down here, hut thor. was one
great fault found with n. He talked TOO
much tariff and too lit,le sound money.
That is tie great obstacle in the way Of a
good many sound morsv democrats voting
the republican ticket. They say they cam
not stomach the high tariff and blame Nc
kinley for still nursing that old worn
out rag doll baby"
Republican DiscOrd.
The talk Of harmony between tie repub-
lIcan factions was Knocked silly Weires-
Cay by the action of the lily white cxccu-
tive committee. 1t is true that they adj
,-.y-
| not far enough. ana the regulars have
ceased al Efforts. ignoring the suggestion
| in the following re- olution:
Resolved. That capt. J. v. Donnally,
chairman Of ihis committee. be requested
10 confer with i +. H.ruig and - assure

Stand Ivy Their Ticket.
The new republicans refused to pun DOWN
their electoral ticket. for the reason that IL
had been nominated by a fun convention
ard !. would be impractiCable TO caIl an
other convention TO pull IL down. They
claimed also that il was the place Of The
regulars 10 pull down their ticket because
Il had been nominated by an executive COM
.Lijtee III Secrc; session. which had only the
authority to nominate the electors .at-iar.,e
whereas they put up the fun ticket. The
regulars then issued an address IN hich
they urged the repub' airs to stand 10y the
regular party. which stands 10y tn. rolored
lran, and dencunCc the lily mites FOR their
white supremacy tendencies. They also de-
Voted considerable space TO denunciation of
cN-tiov. WaImoth.
