The Cycle Show has heretofore always begun to

wheelmen who do not pay 1T at least one visit

MANY KINDS OF SOUVENIRS.

Souvenirs bound to be an attraction for the
majority Of visitors. To satisfy the demand the
American Bicycle Company has gone extensively
into the preparation of fitting favors. The 1900
show will probably excel all previous shows in the
number and variety Of souvenirs. The bicycle
button. which for years has been the feature of all
bicycle shows has been relegated to a subordinate
position. There will be just many buttons as

The Combine Ticket.

After many days of hard work and
much wrangling the sugar teat Re
publicans and Populists launched
Tuesday night, the following ticket
which is said to satisfy all the differ
ent factions it is supposed to repre-
sent:
For governor, Don Caffery, Jr., OF
St. Mary, independent Democrat.
For lieutenant governor, D. M.
Sholars, of Ouachita, and Orleans,
Populist-D Democrat.
For attorney general, W. G. WHY,
of East Carroll, old-tlme Republican.
For secretary of state, c. Taylor
Cade, of Iberia, new Republican.
For treasurer, George A Hassinger,
Of Orleans, Republican.
For superintendent of education,
o. b. Staples, of Union, Populist.
For auditor, o. Fl. Deshotels, OF
St. Landry, Populist.
OF the personnel of tits ticket it is
useless for even a partisan to urge
criticism. They are all gentlemen OF
high character and unquestioned
worth, but they a never hope to
win against such a splendid ticket as
that headed by Hon. William Wright
Heard and the thoroughly organized
forces of the unterrifed Democracy.
There is only n thing under the sun
upon which the gentlemen comprising
the Caffery combine ticket may be in
accord, and that is an implacable,
undying hatred of Governor Foster,
but we sincerely believe that upon all
the public issues of the day they are
as divergent as the poles. No politi-
cal party can yer hope to win which
has no higher principles than the mere
lust for official power.
