THE FIGHT AGAINST BAILEY.
A Texan in Louisiana Gives some
the Inside Facts.

Editor Picayune.
New orleans, April Q, 1900. Your timely
and full expose of Senator Canety posi'is"
and the danger that may be feared oy tne
riarttcn Of me republican ticket In Louisiana
has been of untold value TO the ueHocTall0
ua1ty of not only Louisiana, but Of tne en-,
tire country. During recent WISH ~ Nv"
York the work done by the Pleayune was
commented upon freely and commended. Aitet
being SO completely unmasked by your COT
umns, It Is surprising tnat senator Salle a
and the ticket he is supporting should even
attempt to misead the voters OF TINS otate
| by posing other than as republican. Another
| very significant feature is the fact tnat tn'
senator and his ticket has the sympathy o.
| tho National republican crowd, ana u is al
| assertion easily heard In the North tnat nO
only their sympathy is with the senator. hu
substantial financial aid has been rendered
him in the present night against the deIno,
cratic party. The corporate lawyers, trus'
supporters, etc, at one time hoped TO sec
| Senator Caffery returned to the senate, bul
since they have realized that his chances
there are utterly hopeless they VIII do az
| they can 10 assist him to defeat the democratic
| ticket 1t is, indeed, gratifying to know his
and their efforts will be futile. IL is similar
| fact that the same crowd in the North and
East who are taking so much interest in the
| fight in Louisiana are, and have been Tor
many months past taking more than unusual
| interest in the senatorial fight now going on
! in the States OF Alabama and Texas, and ii
| is all open secret that the same influences
tnAl are assisting the republicans IN LOUIS
lana are being directed toward the election
| Of Morgan in Alabama and Chiffon in Texas
| to the United States senate.
| 1t is asserted that there is a unit Of cor
poTate and trust influence in favor OF Morgan
and Chiffon, with the exception of the South
ern Pacific railroad, which, it is asserted, Is
strongly opposing Morgan, but II is further
asserted that strong influence is being brought
| TO bear upon the Southern Pacific railroad Il
let up on their opposition to Morgan.
You can't hear anyone in the North and
East questioning the democracy Of either
Cahery, Morgan or Chiffon, but Caffrey has
lower of the republican party, and the above
facts being discussed II seems singularly
strange and there is now little doubt as to
which party Senator Caitery would support
house OF lords. He was elected by demo-
cratic votes So was Malone.
AS regards Morgan y is said in above
know so well about those who are running
lasalnst him. AS to Chiffon and Bailey, II
Is freely circulated that said powers fear
Baiiey, and don't fear Chiffon, and Il is
boldly asserted that large funds have been
sent TO Texas from trust sources to defeat
Bailey and insure Chilton's return This de-
service reflection Another singular feature
Is that the Catfery ticket has already COM
1hnenceu ADVISING their supporters to arm
rule or ruin"
Let 1t be hoped that they will take warn
ing by recent events in Kentucky and re-
| party of Louisiana was correct then ond as
inc Picayune has so ably shown, they are
torlect now, and the result this year will be
