An Ovation.

Capt. Pharr and his campaign
ing party received one continued
ovation through Calcacieu, AGA
dia and St. Landry parishes last
week.
Bands of music and great crowds
of people met them at every ap-
pointment, and the anxiety and
enthusiasm of the people showed
the CALLING effect of tho burdens of
Fosterism.
Such meetings and such recruits
as the Dusons and the Garlands,
point Enthusiastically to q sweeping
victory IN South Louisiana.
1t remains for North Louisiana
to decide the fate.
Populists and free silverites, and
all others desiring honest elections
and honest government, come out
and hear him defend your cause.
Break the rings and restore the
government to the people by elect
ing ''the old swamper," man of
the people for Governor.

The Country District and the
Ballot Boxes.

Ballot Boxes. @
The Item is not fond of war,
nor does it delight in bloodshed.
So long as the rights of the people
can be secured by peaceful means
under the forms of law. The
Item urges strict compliance with
the statutes.
But it begins to be clearly de-
monstrated that the Foster man
agement in this campaign does not
/ intend that an honest election shall
take place in April next. The
methods shown in all the prelimi-
nary events-the registration, the
granting of representation in the
polling booths-go to prove that
free ballot and a fair count is not
a part of the plans outlined by the
well-known political freebooters
who arc attending to tae ''inside
work" required to land the Foster
ticket.
To be forewarned is to be fore
armed, and The Item now sounds
a note of warning to the friends of
fair and honest elections in the
country district of Louisiana. 1t
may as well be understood now as
later that the only hope Of sccur-
ing an honest vote in April lies in
the strong right arms and the ply
steal courage Of the good people
of the State. Under the forms OF
law the Foster management in the
several parishes will commit the
most unblushing frauds. Only the
fear that the people will rise in
their might and destroy those who
rob them will prevent wholesale
swindling.
Look at the Swords incident
in St. Landry; the conduct of
"Judge" Long, the registrar of JEFF
ferson the open boast in the Dem
ocratlc press that ''the Pharr tick
ct shall not win" 1t is clear, as
The Item has before observed,
that all the triggers are set for the
political traps which are to catch
the people. Upon physical force
alone must honest men rely. Sec
ton this and section that of the
election law are not half SO effec-
tive in securing a free ballot and
a fair count as one thoroughly
brave man, who will hold the per-
petrators of fraud personally res
ponsible.
Our friends in the country dis
trict can rest assured that in the
city of New Orleans there will be
ten thousand brave men at the
polls on election day. There will
be no false returns, nor will there
be any voting of dead men and
repeaters. Here the battle in be-
half of an honest election Is alrea-
dy won. The people do not care
whether the Ring gives the League
representation inside the polls or
not. Brave men will take repre-
sentation, and that is the whole
story.
To the country district The Item
tenders q word of advice. Organ
ize now to secure your rights in
April. Let it be quietly, but pos
ltively, understood that swindlers
will be strung up at the scene of
their election crimes. In this way
alone can you show that a brave
man will not submit to robbery.
Be up and doing, gentlemen of
the country parishes. 1t is but
seven weeks until election day

and somebody who knows how to cook
it. The tables were loaded with every

friends OF the family, and large number
from Pleasantvillein including the members
