The Louisiana populist., 1897-12-24

Some of the old party papers
when they see an article ON the f.
nance question by Populist edi-
tor, Immediately begin to sneer
and say sswhat does that poor man
know about fnances2 It taxes
men with special gifts and finan-
cial training to understand the
money question:
We can tell these old party edi-
tors that when they see q man run
q populist paper for 8 or 4 years.
they see q man who is fully com.
petent TO run The financial part Of
the largest government IN the
world. It don't take much brains
to attend to finances where one has
the money, but it takes both brains
and grit to run populist paper,
for there is usually NO money to
help along the institution, and po-
tatoes and stoye-woM are not le-
gal tender, while right now We
could use q little Of both to adyant-
age in our business.
The Louisiana populist., 1897-12-24

1t has been rumored among the
voters that Mr.. Gamble would not
continue the race as delegate to
the constitutional convention. We
have seen MIR. Gamble, and there
is not g. particle Of truth in the
report. There is no doubt that
his opponents would be glad to
know that he woald come out of
the race, for then there might be
a chance FOR one Of them to get
elected, but as things are, it would
be better for Mr.. Breazeal and
Mr.. Presly to retire and save the
modification of defeat.

Special to the Post Dispatch Dem

Special to the Post Dispatch Dem
Augusta, Ga, Dec. 2.-After an
election unparalleled for corruption
former United States Senator Pat.
rick Walsh was elected to the Nav,
orally over Dan Kerr, representa-
tive Of the old ring, and former
postmaster Dunbar, the candidate
Of the a. 7. a. organization,
The Kerr forces, past masters
in the art of politics, were beaten
at their own game.
In the First, Second, Third and
Fifth Wards the Walsh workers
packed the polling places at .
o'clock in the morning with lines
OF negroes and 1t was two hours
before the Kerr negroes could be
brought to the polls. In the mean
time the Walsh negroes, waving
their new S5 bills openly in the
faces OF the black cohorts OF Kerr
demoraIized and fually captured
them.
There are 5000 negro voters in
Augusta and the quotations at
p. III. were as follows: Influential
negro-preachers, BARRIERS, captains
OF militia companies, leaders in Sc
cret societies-tr0m 912 to SIT
apiece; draymen hack drivers and
hotel poters, from IS to 9i2;
"stubborn" negroes, from S. to
$40; common ordinary "coons,n
from So to S..
The first real move of the elec-
ton was made at 2 o'clock in the
morning, when $50 Walsh negroes
broke into the courthouse and cap.
tured the polls in the Second Ward.
This was worth great deal to Mr..
Walsh. When the polls opened
there were 400 negro votes to be
cast for Walsh before one could be
put in for Kerr. AS each negro de-
posted his ballot for Walsh land
it was easy to identify them, be-
cause all of them were printed on
red, white and blue paper, he was
given slip by Walsh worker.
The negro walked across the court
house yard and one OF the Walsh
treasurers handed him an envelope
in which was found q brand new
30 bill, The yellS of delight of
these negroes, the brandishing in
the air Of their new, crisp bills set
the herr negroes crazy, ard soon
they were tearing of their Kerr
badges and replacing them with
rlbboned ilkenesses OF Walsh.
These are but samples of what
was seen at yesterdays elections.
And this is the same Democracy
which in this State, alter dong the
same things, says the Populists
are fishing for the negro vote!
This is the Democracy which has
ruled and ruined this State for q
years, and now proposes to purify
Itself!
This is the Democracy which
asks the people OF this State to
place in its hands the sovereign
power to frame constitution to
their liking without reference to
the people
Which is the worse, the ignorant
negro who sold his worthless vote.
or the enlightened, civilizations
saving Democrat who put up the
money with the full intent of rob-
bing the taxpayers to replace his
corrupting cash?
Yet this rotten Democracy pro-
Sc 8 to purify itself by disfranchis-
ing the negro and leaving the cor
rupting charlatans and thoir cash,
not only in full possession of their
votes, but all of the election ma
chinery and the offices!
Bosh I! Rot !!
The LORD of hosts will send the
ten plaques of Egypt before the
Democratic party will ever purify
itself, save in the sack-cloth and
ashes of defeat.
1t has been rumored among the
The Louisiana populist., 1897-12-24

1t was 3 mistake. Instead of
Gamh!o's declining to run, he de-
clined to continue treating-snd
thus the report.

That is Wanamaker's. Those of
you who know country stores know
how they differ-not so widely in
the goods they sell, but in the way
they sell them. Some storekeep-
ers treat their friends right; are
obIiging, civil. They don't forget
their manners-easy naturalness
bent in the right way, which is the
best kind of manners.
And the typical comfortable coun-
try store, where one always stays

to stay, stands for this bigger coun-
try store here. Keeping the ac-
