have rendered me the nomination
to the Constitutional Convention
and the consideration shown me by
the changes you have made in your
platform in regard to the suffrage
question, and some other minor
questions to accord same with my

Of the confidence manifested, being
mindful of the grave responsible
ty that will devolve upon me if
elected. Should be elected, l
will enter upon the discharge of tho
duties intrusted, earnestly advoca-
ting to the best Of my ability, such
measures, as in my judgment, will
be most beneficial to the general
interest.
Actuated by no personal motive
except q desire to prove worthy of
the esteem Of my fellow citizens.

paramount issue, and believe this
should be the first matter for the
consideration Of the Convention.

Our state Ticket.

Our views on the action OF the
Peoples party State convention
and the ticket named are given in
an interview with q Times-Demo-
crat reporter Immediately after the
adjournment of the convention.
We reproduce them as they ap-
peared in that paper of the Goth
inst:
Hon. III. L. Brian said to night,
in an interview with the Times
Democrat correspondent; 81 think
the Populist convention jast closed
has done well. 1t has fully main
tanned the broad and liberal spirit
of Populism in its platform and
proven its ability to take patriotic
and high ground on nonpartisan is
sues by the broad-gauged and rep
resentative ticket which it has NOM
mated. l should have rejoiced to
see members Of all political par
ties in our State and representa-
tives of all the great interests and
professions of Louisiana meet in
patriotic council to nominate the
thirty.six delegates who will con-
troll the Constitutional Convention,
and through it the destinies of the
State, and thus, while partisans
might contend for partisan advant-
age with the delegates from the
different parishes, this delegation
at large would control the policy
Of the convention with absolute i'm
partiality to every interest of the
whole people of this great State. :,
''Seeing no opportunity for such
a happy arrangement, the Peoples
party has taken the steps, as fal
as it could do, with the excellen,
advice Of conservative and noble
ref0rmers in the other politica
parties, to reach a so-mach desir
cd cOnsumatiOn.
I'll believe that every man namct

the parties, and from every wall
and profession in our State, the,
cannot fail, if elected, to give II
an organic law which will set tn
Commonwealth on the high roa'
to peace and prosperity.
sIf that party which has control

dorsing the sentiments of his hon. |
ored predecessor and thanking the
convention for their honor to him,
was to the point and very effective.
His management of the convention
was superb, his rulings sharp and
decisive, yet honest and fair, and
hence business WAS dispatched with
haste AMI due decorum. 1t will be
hard to beat esquire" Hundley as
a presiding officer in future Popa-
list conventions.
Committees on Nominations and
Platform were appointed, compris-
ing each one member from the par
ishes represented.
The convention then adjourned
until $50 o'clock Friday morning.
The committee on nominations
met at tho courthouse Thursday
night and elected Hon. j. W. Nc
Fsrland, chairman, and Hon. ii.
L. Brian secretary.
The manner of choosing the
thirty-six delegates at large became
at once question. The discussion
was quiet and many able speeches
were delivered both for and against
the selection of q broad gaage, non.
partisan ticket of populists and in
dependent republicans and demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Brian very ably urged
the naming of pure men, represent
ing every interest, profession and
section in Louisiana, to be Popu-
lists in those Senatorial districts
where that party is organized, and
independent Democrats and Re-
publicans where it is not. This
policy was earnestly counseled by
j. w. Mcfarland and Col. A. B.
Cooper, while the opposition was
lied by Mr.. Z. F. Warren ct Lin
coin, and DR.. I. j. Tabor of Web
ster, who favored u straight Popu
list ticket, even if all the members
thereof should have to come IRON
| North Louisiana.
The contest in the committee wa
prolonged and very close, and j
was continued till - m. Friday
when partial report was submit
ted to the conventiyn, naming Pop
ulists for the orgshized Senatoria
districts and leaving the other
blank.
The convention declined to re
ceiye an unfinished report and in
structed the committee to NEE
again and finish their work. In
sentiment of the convention wa
also taken as to the nature OF tn
ticket desired, and was in favor o

Fl0tlOrlns
We favor a poll tax qualification
for suffrage, not to exceed two

We are opposed to the one-man-
power dominating the elections OF
this State as now authorized by
law, and believe it to be the source
Of 9-tenths Of the corruption In
politics with which our common
wealth is afflicted. We favor the
election Of Registrars, Snpervi.

election officers. by the people d.
rect, or else their appointment by
Parish officers who are themselves
elected directly by the people.
We are opposed to the appoint

We believe the Judiciary of our
State is the most expensive, and
the most slothful in meeting the
ends Of justice, of any State in the
Union, and favor the remodelling
Of same 80 as to correct these evils,
by cutting down both salaries and
number of officers, and enlargine
the powers and jurisdiction OF our
magistrates courts.
We believe in general reduc-
