Cleveland from the White House

ton.

The goldbug Democrats are La.
sy all over the country denouncing
the Chicago convention as Popu.
listic, Socialistic, etc., and calling
for a new convention which is to
be Democratic according to their
notions of Democracy.
Even our own Picayune rather
urges such course in baby"
editorial of the 18th inst.
Speaking of the Chicago conven-
ton, it says:
The acts of the convention showed
in every way that it was radical
and revolutionary body, given up
to Populistic and socialistic doc
trines, and browning its radical
acts by nominating as a candidate
for President of the United States
a man who has been elected to Of
flee by Populists, and who has
been more identified with them than
with Democracy.
Weare right glad to have the
Peoples party recruited with such
a fine lot of men as the Chicago
convention all. at once. We al
ways confidently believed in the
ultimate success of our party and
principles, but we must confess,
that to have the great national
Democratic party in convention as
sembled dump 2-thirds of that con-
vention, its best speakers and wri-
tiers and its party machinery into
the Peoples party, is SO refreshing
ly sudden that it is an agreeable
surprise.
We could have gotten along very
well without the party machinery,
however, and it begins to look as
if the gold bugs will help to rid us
of that incubus, for the Picayune
concludes the same article thusly ::
The only remedy seems to be in
the nomination of a genuine DINO
cratic ticket on true Democratic
platform.

POpuIist Clubs Attention.

Please read these resolutions
again and then act on them:
Resolved, That the Populists of
this District 9TH be urged to or
ganize Peoples party club at
each polling place in their respect
i've wards and parishes, where such
club is not already organized.
That said clubs report at once,
or as soon as organized, the name
and post Office address of their
President and Secretary, and the
precinct, ward and parish in which
said club is located, to the La.
POpulist, Natchitochcs, La, which
paper has agreed to print a direc
tory of same and furnish a copy to
each club.
That said clubs also report in
same way to their chairman and
secretary of their respective par
ishes, and that said chairman and
secretary report their addresses to
said La. Populist, so that said di-
rectory when printed will be u
complete guide of the Populist or
ganization i'm this district.
That each Populist paper in the
district be requested to publish
these resolutions and urge the Pop
ulists to carry them out.
Remember what a power the
Farmers Alliance was in this State
few years ago. 1t was not as
strong in numbers as is the Peo-
pies party, but it was better Or
ganized.
The plan outlined in the above
is the same which was
so successful in organizing the Al
lance, 1t will be equally success
full in our party if we will follow
it out.
When we get these directories
printed and copy in the hands of
each officer IN each precinct club
IN the district, then any man can
take one of these and get at once
into communication with every
Populist in the district.
Then people can move en- masse
and as unit, and their power will
DO inconceivable.
Let's hasten this good work.

Wait for the Convention.

The PopuliSt national convention
meets in st. LOniS next week
There will be assembled rcpresen
tatives of the party from every
state and territory in the union
They come together for discussion
exchange of opinions and for the
purpose Of taking such action rs
the assembled wisdom decides is
not only for the best interests OF
the Populists party but the people
Of the whole country, Whatever
is decided on, after full discussion
and a fair hearing, should and no
doubt will be satisfactory to the
members of the Peoples party
throughout the land, who are pa
triOtS first and partiSanS afterward.
1t is critical and highly important
occasion in the lives of all of us
and we should approach it like men,
remembering to keep cool, to lay
passion and prejudice aside and ell
deaver to arrive at the best posi-
ble results.
All the NOncOnfOrmiSt has asked
from the beginning was that things
should be done in an orderly way.
1t objected to individuals and COM
mittees trying to forestall the ac-
ton of the party with their inter
views and manifeStOes. 1t insisted
that all matter relating to the plat.
form, whether change in the old
one or the adoption of IA new one,
should be left to the national con-
vention itself. That body will now
soon meet and we have an abiding
faith that its action will be such
that we can all indOrse it. 1t is no
time for wrangling, II time for fac
tiOnal disputes. Let us confer, de-
eide OIL the best course of action
and rally as one man to carry for
ward the principles which we all
hold dear. All cannot have their
way. No one can have everything
just as he wants it. Wisdom sug.
gests that the best possible be Sc
cured aud then that this shall be
accepted by the whole party as the
course to be pursued for the pres
ent at least. If all will go to ST.
Louis in this spirit good results are
sure to Observation-Disclosures.
The above so completely express
es our sentiments that we give it
in place of cur leader this week. -
While we are but human and
hence feel that resentment and bit
terness to the sO-calIed Democratic
party of this State, we have no OBJ
lection to Mr.. Bryan-in fact we
could not have selected q man
who we would have preferred to
see President of these United
States.
Bat if our convention indOrses
him, it by no means follows that
our State convention at Alexan-
dria, on August 4th, will indOrse
the Democratic electors already
selected.
Until the cOunting-machine weak
ems in this State, POpulists should
be found fighting it in the most eff
fective way possible.
