The New Orleans CITY Item Sc,

The New Orleans City Item seems
to have severed on Capt. Pharr, its
protige and pet before the April
election. 1t now says of him:
Capt. Pharr has nothing to re.
commend him save and except the
commentator of Warmoth and a
political record, which is as youth
full as it is consistent. Six months
ago he was as earnest. in defense of
the rights of the colored man as he
now seems determined to ignore
him as political factor, and at
Washington Artillery Hall he open
ed his canvass for Governor as a
silver hereto as devout as he now
appears for sound money.
Now, it is cold, hard fact that
when Pharr's name was suggested
by men with political sense as the
nominee of the sugar planters IN the
recent campaign, no less a man than
Henry Clay Warmoth blurted outs
"You would not nominate that old
ass, Nould your"

! Ex-Secretary of State Thomas
Scott Adams died at O'Clock on
Friday morning last at his home in
Clinton, East Feliciana parish:
"Capt. Adams has always been a
Democrat, one of the old-fashioned
Jeffersonian-J acksonian kind. When
the Alliance ceased to be a political
factor, and the rank and file went
over body, boots and baggage to
the Populist party, Capt. Adams
did not follow them in their assault
on the Democratic party. He re-
manned Democrat and decided to
make the fight for reform and the
great common people within its
ranks. He was pioneer in the
movement that sent to Chicago the
class of delegates who fought down
the gold men from the East and
nominated Bryan. In the State
fight, when the question of going
behind the returns threatened to
overthrow the existing government
and putothe Republicans in power,
the combine counted on Capt
Adams for a time to assist them.
Having been an Alliance man, they
thought he would be a Populist,
but they reckoned without their
host. Their overtures to him to
assist in going behind the returns
met with a firm refusal, and the
Captain did everything in his power
to assist the Democratic party. He
was delegate to the Memphis sill
yer convention year ago, and an
ardent advocate of the white metal. |
Capt. Adams was a man of high |
character and a man of courage. |
He was considerable over six feet
tall, slim and erect. He was in his
younger days a school teacher in
East Feliciana, shortly after the
war;"

The Republicans of West Baton
held public meeting the other day,
and among their resolutions was one
condemning Hyams of the Sugar
Planter for supporting Bryan and
free silver, and charging him with
"ingratitude." The Planter saws
that 1--WE have profound respect for
the political opinions of others and
willingly concede to them the same
honesty and sincerity of purpose
which we claim for ourselves.
When, however, any man or set of
men succeeds in bulldozing us out of
the convictions of a lifetime, hades
VIII be full OF ice-bergs mile thick.

The Monroe Bulletin in its leading
editorial OF last week is misleading
and far from the truth, when it saws
that Messrs. e. B. Kruttschmitt and
=. Harrison Parker are gold men.
They may have been, like thousands
OF others, opposed to free silver, but
when the Democratic National Con-
vention at Chicago placed the free
silver plank in its platform, these
true Democrats fell in line, and are
now doing noble work for Bryan and
Sewall. 1t does Mr.. Gunby good to
say anything sgainst a Democrat
whether it is true or not.

L. j. GRIFFIN, Secretary,

On the 25th of July there died II
Greenville one whose life contained
much of the dramatic incident which
clustered around the old time institu.
tlons OF slavery--one who possessed
many friends, and whose good deeds
may well outweigh the faults that were
hers through the peculiar social con.
ditions in which she lived. Aunt Eliza
Keene was born slave of the well
known Keene family of Louisiana about
20 years ago. The remarkable beauty
OF the young quadroon attracted the
overseer, and her m aster gave him per-
mission to buy her, on condition that.
as far as law and custom would allow.
he would make her his wife, He was
faithful to his bargain, and during all
his after life ne lavished upon her
every advantage in his power. When
Greenville was tiny village she made
it her home, and her death removes
one OF the best known figures of the
life of the city in the early days. No
unfortunate. whether from fault or
fortune, ever appealed for help to
Aunt Eliza" in vain. No complaint
ever came from her because of the inn
position on her charity. Her life may
not have been a blameless one, but
when the ledger is written up, there
will be safe balance to the cred
it OF Aunt Eliza Keene.-GreenvilIe
Times.
Capt. w. B. Keene was resident of
our parish, having died many years
ago, but his daughter, Mrs. Col. E. w.
Constant and his grandchildren are
still living on part of the large estate.
Mr. Keene was no doubt one of the |
argest land and slave owners in the
south, and at the breaking out of the
var owned thirteen plantations and it
said nearly fifteen thousand slaves.
We have inquired into the above, and
rom what we could learn the part
hat refers to the overseer purchasing
be woman is hardly fact. She was
Ike a great many others who were
laves, taking their masters name.
