Messrs. Breazeale and Presley
will be elected, but we desire that
their majority be SO great as to
fully convince these Populists that
their calling is done for here. We
don't need them to direct our af-
fairs and they are not going to be
permitted to do ii. it.--Enterprise.
This is the same kind of talk
that was used by this same paper
just before the last State election,
and means, we presume, the same
thing. Q. that the Populists will
be counted out and the State mi
litia called on to back the steal.
This is q white mans fight, and
white men that will submit to such
indignities are worse than dogs.
Populists and self-respecting
Democrats had just as well get
ready to defend their honor and
their homes from the thief and the
robber.

Convention Farce.

What a roaring farce is this con-
stitutiOnal convention anyway,
when you come to think of it
The democrats have called them
selves to convene in a constitutions
al convention to devise ways and
enact laws to keep themselves from
stealing votes. This is the plain
English ofit, garble it as you please.
The very men who have stolen the
votes, or who have been the bene-
ficiaries of the stealing, are the
fellows who are going us delegates
to the convention.
They have "got it in deep" for
the illiterate voter and the negro,
yet neither an illitcrate voter nor Il
negro ever stole a vote, stuffed a
ballot box, or fa1sified a return!
Yet these people must be elimina.
ted in order to ''purity the ballot"
And if one of these poor devils
ever sold a vote, it was to some of
these sanity democratic election
purifiers. There was never a vote
sold till there was a buyer in the
market, was there's And were the
illiterate or the negroes ever buy
ers, or was it the demOcrats7
And now they are so low, so de-
graded that even the ''negrO" and
the "illiterate" will no longer sell
them votes, they are ''gwine to
Eliminate 'em" in the interest OF
pure elections. Hold the bowl,
please, quick
What needs to be done to purify
| the ballot is to eliminate the thieves
those who steal votes, stuff bal
lot boxes, change and falsify elec-
tiOn returns, refuse to have the
light of day thrown on IN election,
ala the last legislature. The ne
gro and the illiterate never de-
baucned our elections Of themselves
therefore they are not the real
criminals, nor the ones to be eli
minated.
Before you vote for the constitu'
tional convention, or the democrat
ic delegates thereto, think we'll over
the absurdity of convening lot
of thieves and receivers of stolen
goods to enact laws against thieve-
ry.-People's Tribune.

Farmeryille Herald When
Longstrect made his famous charge
at Gettysburg, he drove back in
confusion the first and second lines
of the federal forces, as his men
formed to attack the third line of
blue bayonets before them, the
troops, wearied and worn without
support, were unable to break
through this line Of fresh troops.
Had Lee been able to send rein
forcements the history of this
country might have been written
differently.
When brave old Longstreet was
crashing his way through tho tede-
raj lines, Washington trcmbled and
New York grew pale. A thrill
of terror went through the loyal
North. But the one blow needed
was never struck. The needed rein
forcements never come. But one
more blow, but alas, it never came.
We know the consequences.
Midst the teachings OF Populisnl
the lives of plutQcracy are culver
ing. The national democracy is a:
good as captured. Thinkers al
over the nation are embracing oul
principles as the sole hope of tn
Republic; as the onl y stay which

anarchy and Revolution.

Not A Question OF Honesty or
Upr,.htMess.

Tn this confess it is not whether
Gamble and Russ are honest and
upright men-everybody comedies
them that-but il is whether
through them the vicious doctrines
of the Populists can be permitted
to gain foothold here. And this
cannot be tolerated. d.-Enterprise.
In the above lapsus, linguae their
organ admits that the Democrats
of this parish will not bear COM
parison with the Populists lis hon.
est and upright mon.
If the above were an honest con-
fession instead of slip Of the
tongue, it would be better. But
there are hundreds of honest, we'll
intended people in this parish who
call themselves Democrats, who
don't know that the leaders OF their
party won't compare favorably
with the Populists, nor themselves.
Don't know that some OF the
leading writer's and workers of that
party in this parish, often get so
hilariously drunk, noisy and Of
fensive, that their own friends have
to put them in Jail to sober them
up;
That some of their leaders and
ofice-holders get so bigoted and
bossifed as to force the District
Judge to fine them in open court
for disrespectful conduct;
That some Of their candidates
and office-holders are SO honest and
circumspect as to build bridges
with the help Of their neighbors,
and then draw pay for same from
the parish in another mans name
without his knowledge or consent.
Leading Democrats are guilty OF
all these things and much more,
and we know their names, and So
do many others.
Yet these guilty, corrupt and
corrupting people, calling them
selves Democrats, admitting as
they must that Gamble and Russ
are honest and upright men, have
the cheek to say that Populist doc
trines are vicious, and cannot be
! tolerated.
A town and q parish that will
tolerate such men as these Will tol'
crate almost anything else that is
vicious.
But wherein are Populist doc
trines viciousa
The Populists favor a lower rate
/ of taxation, lower salaries ane
. fewer ofies.
That's vicious to the taxeaters
but how about you, taxpayerss
The PopuIists favor more money
and higher prices for farm prod
ucts.
That's vicious for the banke'
and the money lender, for tn
speculator and the salaried office
holder, but how about you, cotton
raisers, mortgage-lifters and tax
payers.
The Populists favor wiping on
future gambling in cotton AM
:, other farm products.
That's vicious to "bulls' an
3 ''bears" who sell your cotton be
fore it il planted-who run tn
price down when you have to sell
and run the price up when yo

Mr.. George retired last night
after addressing several large

Mrs George was awakened by the

of an extremely sensitive nature
and those who knew him we'll fear

self. At tim he has been inco
herent during the campaign His
whole temperament had undergone
a complete change. He had not
been strong for three years. lie
delivered three speeches last night.
Particularly within the past few
days close friends have noted with
apprehension marked changes in
his appearance and manner, his
eyes, beaming upon masses with
whom he was clearly in touch, grew
dull. Little wrinkles came at
corners, his eyes sunk into hollow
caverns. and his voice wls qneru
luous. He seemed like one whose
nerves were 50 highly wrought
that they might snap without warn
ING. At the outset OF the campaign
he endeayorci TO see everybody
who called at his little home, but
his friends found this too much for
him. and took him to a hotel and
eentinels about head
