Whitney Married.

Hon. VIM. G. Whitney, ex Sec
rotary of the Navy, ana Mrs. Edith
S. Randolph we've united in mar
riage at Bar Harbor, Me-, on the
Goth Of September. The public is
fully convtrsant with the political
and official career of the groom.
The bride was a Miss May mem.
Der Of a wealthy a,istocratic fami-
~ of Baltimore, brcught Into
greater public prominence some
eighteen or twenty years ago, by
the reported engagement of her
sister, Miss Carrie, to James Cor
don Bennett, the multi-millionaire
editor Of the New York Herald.
The day had been fixed for the
marriage ceremony, the bridal
treusseau had been purchased
from Worth; the 400 had been duly
invited and an impatient, expec-
tant and anxious public was on
the qui s'iue, looking eagerly for the
publication Of the details in tile
newspapers. But the dcnoucment
came unexpectedly in the nature
of a sensational notice in all the
daily papers, that Mr. Bennett had
refused-for reasons known only
to himseif-to fulfill his matrimO-
lial engagement, wLereupon Mr..
Fred May, a brother of the bride
i'll expectancy, had sought and
chastised him with a horse whip
upon the streets OF New York. A
challenge from the injured party
was the sequel, Il hostile meeting
and al exchange of shots without
bloodshed, when Mr.. Bennett sig.
niied that his wounded honor had
been avenged, which was followed
by All amicable adjustment and IL
withdrawal from tie field of honor.
Since that time, the May family,
who were then of great social
prominence, have been lost sight
OF entirely until recalled to pubic
notice by the recent marriage of
Mr.. Whitney and Mrs. Randolph,
who was the widow of the late
Capt. Randolph, an officer in the
British army.

ABIDES BY HIS UTTERANCES.

The editor of the LOUISIANA
DEMOCRAT, in recent issue, pos
iiiveIy refuses to vote for the four
Populists on the ticket, but when
he comes to seriously think of it
he will hardly give four votes to
Mckinley electors by scratching
four Popnlsts. (trne Bryan men),
but that is What it amounts to.
| II Town Talk.
The editor abides by the utter
ances of the LOUISIANA DEMO
GRAFT in the issue referred to. He
understands the principles Of true
Democracy and is about as capa-
bic of applying them to existing
CONDITIONS as the editor of Torn
Tux. He has voted the DcmOcra-
tic ticket for thirty three years.
never having scratched a single
uame upon it. during the entire
time, indeed there are not many
men in the Parish of Rapides who
have voted it longer, he was ill.,
dicted by the U. S. Courts in New
Orleans several times during the
dark days of reconstruction for
the humble part performed by him
in the redemption of his State from
the CALLING yoke of Republican
misrule, venality and oppression
and the only reason why he never
| had to face the frOwns of that hos
tile court, was because, rather
than resist Federal authority, he
and his indicted compatrio:s al
ways eluded the vigilance of the
U. S. Marshals and posses, when
seeking to execute the warrants Of
arrest.
If the editor of Tom Talk can
produce the same record of Demo
cratic fealty, devotion and consis-
tcucy for the same length Of time,
then we will acknow ledge that we
have imhibed our Democracy from
an apocryphal fountain, that we
have been all these long years in
blissful ignorance Of what consti-
IT, tes true JetfcrSonian Democracy
and that the new evangrl, sprung
from the loins of the Chicago con
yention, is he only orthodox dem.
ocratic creed.
If We are forced, however, to q
choice between Republican despo-
tism and Popuistic anarchists, we
shall choose the former. In this
instance, as iii all others, we shall
scratch no name on the Democratic
ticket. We shall nbliterate the
circle opposite the names of Bry,
an, Sewall, Ogtlen and the four
Democratic electors, who yet re.
naiu upon it by the permission

and grace Of Messrs. Foster and
Brian. So far as the four Popu-
list electors are concerned, their
names are there or will be there
without any warrant Ut party
usage and We Shall no mole regard
them than we would The names of
the Republican electors. We don't
propose to he coerced, by what the
latter day preachers Of the Demo
cratic gospel, consider a party ext
sency, into voting for four men,
however, honorable they may be,
whom we know will cast their bal
lots against the Democratic vice
presidential nominee. With us it
is question of principle, not OF
men. '.lf this lie treason, make
the most of it,"

Will Not Be kecOnsidercd.

The DEMOCRAT owes it to its
own record rs a Democratic or
gan OF ability, and owes it to the
Democracy Ut the State, whicn is
very much in earnest in this mat.
ter, to reconsider its too hasty OPP
position, and to consent to yield a
little OF its own preferences to the
party TimeS-Democrat.
TIE esteemed Tines Democrat is
assured, that while ordinarily the
LOUISIANA DEMOCRAT has great
respect for the advice and opinions
Of its metropolitan contemporary
and might be induced to yield its
preferences and convictions; in
this instance the resolution of the
editor to repudlate an unauthoriz
ed alliance with Popu'ism, was
not formed hastily, but after ma
tnre deliberation and will not be
reconsidered, no matter what the
consequences may be.
