SATURDAY, NOVEMBER IT, 1907.
THE POPS CONVENTION.
The 'steemed Populists pulled
themselves together at Monroe last
week and proceeded to save the
of Fosterism and the sundry other
woes which the long-haired bril-
gade tell US must be exterminated
if We expect to keep in the good
graces of the Lord and continue to
enjoy untrammeled the inestimable
privileges of American freemen.
Among the thirty-six patriots
good and true who were selected
to try to run as delegates at large,
the oppressed and grooming millions
will be delighted to see the names
of such disinterested lovers of their
country AS John Wesley Young of
Acadia, Thomas Jonathan Guice,
to fortune and lottery fame not
unknown, William Pierrepont
Gooch of Vermilion, and our TO-
tund newspaper brother, John
Humble, who never wearies to sing
Populist songs and preach Populist
There are Roman and Minor and
Pickett and Glasscock and many
others of more or less renown.
In their platform the Populists
express craving desire for
many things, but what they
want, and want bad, is pure
ballot and suffrage law which will
permit the nlggers to vote and in
cidentally give them a chance to
combine with the Republicans and
take charge of the State govern
ment. But, of course. the ques-
ton of the spoils of Office and
power is foreign to their patriotic
minds. What they are after is a
'sclean and honest government"
Oh! What sublime patriotism.
ga restoration and maintenance
of pure and honest ballot, which
will express and enforce the will or
freemen.
To prove that the foregoing de-
claration is an unblushing exhibit
ton of hypocrisy it is only neccs-
sary to mention the fact that the
Populists have bargained with the
Republicans in their pretended effort
to bring about such a reform. The
history of the Republican party in
Louisiana is sickening recital of
the grossest frauds, and perpetrated,
not to maintain in power a pure and
honest govern ment, but the most
rotten ring of political freebooters
that ever cursed people since the
beginning of Christianity.
After declaring, denouncing, ap-
posing, whereasing and resoluting
to their hearts contents the Pops
invoked the ghost of Thomas Jeffer-
son, the aid of the Creator and
called on Hardy Brian for peech.

Much credit is due HIM for great
amount OF the work done there,

rich ore sooner than he expects.
The Pintava Gold Mining Com
panY has been incorporated this
week for $25, 900 by number of
our citizens, for the purpose of
working some very promising
properties near Carriso Springs,
about Is miles south. Ore taken
from the lead has shown a suffi-
ciently high per cent OF gold, sill
ve-. ETC., to pay we'll to work and
haul the ore that distance to the
railroad. If these properties and
others in the same district turn
out sufficient ore it will constitute
quite an auxiliary to Las Anlmas,

The Register believes it best not to
hold the republican county conven-
ton until in September. This is no:
much of political year, anyway, and
a long campaign cannot be maintained
with interest.-Register.
AND why even in September? II
We mistake not the temper of the
majority of the voters of Barton
county, eur republican friends had
just as well forego the bother and
worry of holding any county nomi-
mating convention a. all. If, as the
Register says, all the present republi-
can officers are candidates for re-nom
nation there would seem to be little
use for convention just to select q
victim for the one other Office. AS
to the acknowledged inability of our
republican friends to maintain a
long campaign with interest" we per-
fectly agree with the Register in its
diagnosis of the case. The free silver
forces can make mighty interesting
campaign-long or short-but what
for goodness sake, would the other Eel.
lows talk about that would interest
the average voter? Better hold your
convention about Christmas, boys
and then you can eat turkey instead
of crow.
