Many Expect Break Next Week.


Men in the organization camp and many
OF the insurgent Democrats are saying tha'
they expect the Senatorship deadlock to be
broken in some fashion next week. Muir
phy. according TO some Tammany men
will come here on Monday. although ne II
expected to begin his delayed trip 10 not
Springs in the fore part of the week. IL Is
nartlv on the notion that Murphy would
not go out Of the state with an unsoiVeu
Senatorship problem on his hands that potn
sides base their predictions that the mud
die will be settled next week Then, 100
the day is approaching rapidly when sen
ator Depew's term will expire. and organi-
zation Democrats and insurgents are not
hankering for a vacancy in the senator
shin. They believe an extra session OF CON-
rresh inevitable, and want TO have
Democratic Senator there.
Mr.. Shepard received to-day fifteen votes
That is exactly half the strength developed
| against Sheehan in the long contest. The
insurgents held a meeting to-day. and
| there decided TO swing all the anti-Sheehan
| strength they cou'd "a Shepard. They
realize thoroughly that Mr.. Shepard has no
! chance of election, but believe that oy
eliminating all the one and two and three
vote men. and concentrating the anti
! Sheehan strength on Shepard, the division
within the Legislature can be emphasized

/ they have no expectation and no speclal

True Democratic Principles.
Monroe Independent


Mr.. Perrin closed his speech with beau
tiful tribnte to the true Democratic princi-
Piles advocated and carried out by the Gov
enor in his every administrative act.-From
press report of Jena meeting.
If it wasn't asking too much of the elo-
qeuent Perrin we would be pleased to have
him specify some Of the true Democratic
principles that characterized and dis
tinguished the Sanders administration.
Platitudes and glittering generalities are
easy and cheap.
Gov. Sanders was elected on truly
broad and splendid Democratic platform,
promising all the reforms an oppressed
people could ask; he was long on promises
but awfully short on fulfillment.
He promised legislative independence
and perpetually held the big stick of pub
lie patronage over the heads of the legis-
lators and made them do his autocratic
bidding.
He promised obedience to the laws both
in letter and spirit and flagrantly violated
the spirit if not the letter of the Demo-
cratic primary election law by forcing his
election to the United States Senate instead
of having primary ordered to enable the
people themselves to select successor to
Senator McEnery.

Judging Him By His Deeds.
East Feliciana True Democrat


The unprejudiced need not form an I'M
favorable odinion of James B. Aswell's un-
fitness for Governor, by what the OPPOSE
ton says of him, but may fairly do so by a
calm review of his own acts and words.
His frequent and sometimes unexplaina-
BILE designations from Office should lead one
to question his steadfastness of purpose
and his fidelity to the people who honor
him. Ambition influenced his first and
third designations, and his second, and
least excusable act of that character, was
due, as he himself says, to his perceiving
that he could not maintain his own admin
istration without the Governors interior
ence. And yet, five months after, the
Governor employs his power in behalf Of
Mr.. Aswell and his little speller. Does this
look like lack of harmony between the two
men? But granting that there was, and
that Governor Sanders efforts were sop
to Cerberus and not part of prearranged
plan, does it appeal to the peoples idea of
the stability of character that an executive
should possess?
Again, does his self avowed carelessness
in keeping accounts and laying the blame
on the fact that his predecessors did the
same, appeal to the peoples Ideal of safe
man to overlook the States finances?
Again, does his own account of why he
rushed into the New Orleans school en-
broglio, in behalf of the bosses, speak we'll
of his democracy?
These are but three, among many instan-
ces that go to prove that while Mr.. Aswell
is man of rich talents, that he is not the
sort of man the people need as their chief
executive.

GooD-BYE.-It is hard word to speak.
Some may laugh that it should be so, but
let them. Icy hearts are never kind. It's
word that has choked many an utterance
and started many tear. The hand is
clasped, the word is spoken, we part, and
are out on the ocean of time-we 60 to
meet again, where? God only knows. 1t
may be soon, it may be never. Take care
that your goodbye be not cold one-it
may be the last one you can give. Ere you
meet again deaths cold hand may have
closed his eyes and chained his lips for
ever. All! he may have died thinking you
loved him not. Again it may be long
separation. Friends crowd on and give
you their hands. How do you detect in
each goodbye the love that fingers there
and how may you bear with you the mem
DRY Of these parting words many days?
We must separate. Tear not yourself away
with careless boldness that defies all leve,
but make your words linger-give your
heart full utterance-and if tears fall, what
oft? Tears are not NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

THE STATE PRESS.

Mansfield Enterprise: There won't be
anybody to keep school this fall, if some
few of the superintendent and a few Of the
teachers, don't quit their activity in the
present campaign. However, this is what
the bosses mean by excepting the schools
out of politics.
Mansfield Enterprise: That circum-
stantial evidence is not always to be relied
upon was forcibly illustrated at this place
few days since. An old gentleman was
robbed by some persons entering his trunk
and abstracting considerable sum OF
money. A certain young boy of good
character was suspected, and the circum-
stances seemed conclusive that he was
guilty. Owing to his good record, the Off
GERS were not disposed to prosecute, and
the friends of the young man, to avoid
publicity, paid the money back. This was
about two weeks since, and yesterday City
Marshall Roach arrested some little boys
for similar offence and they confessed
that they had taken the old mans money,
and all suspicion against the young man
vanished at once. This is lesson that
circumstantial evidence is not always safe
to rely upon.
Point Coupee Banner: Against Judge
Luther E. Hall nothing can be said. His
life is as pure and untarnished as it can be.
He represents the great movement which
is seeking the overthrow of the political
barons, and every vote for him means a
vote for honest elections and honest gov
eminent. So let us not be deceived by
flights of oratory, or the pleading argu-
ments of an organization whose sole object
of existence is personal enrichment. Let
US face the issue squarely. If the people
of Louisiana prefer machine politics they
can continue it by voting for either Niche
or Aswell. They are both representatives
of the same system. But, on the other
hand, if they feel the oppressive weight Of
the burdens which have been placed or
them by the political czars of this state
vote for Hall.

He promised to enforce the Democratic
demand for the abolition of dual office hold
ing and many office holders now hold more
than one commission under his administra-
ton.
He promised to drive the lobby out OF
Baton Rouge and the lobby throve as never
before. A lobbyist attacked an insurgent
legislator under his very nose and it is said
sought haven of refuge from avenging
wrath in the privacy of his office.
He promised curtailment of the execu-
tive patronage through the abolition OF
appointive offices and directly increased it
by the creation of many new appointive
offices through many boards and commits
sions, until now he has the most numerous
and strongest body of oyerlords, workers
and heeers ever before organized into a
political machine in this State. The in
crease in salaries has been shown to be
over 81 100000.
He promised to retire the State debt and
it has been added to. He says his admin
istration inherited large debt from Gov.
Blanchard's administration and he knows
that the debt left over by Gov. Blanchard
was largely the result of the last regular
and the special session of the legislature
which was dominated by him and his
friel.-.s and that they did all in their power
to handicap and discredit Gov. Blanchard
and that they did succeed in multiplying
nearly all the reform legislation secured
by Gov. Blanchard during the first regular
session Of the Legislature of his admins
tration.
Other sins of omission and commission
might be cited but that's enough.
If machine and boss rule, if profligate
extravaganza, if disregard of the law, if
broken promises to the people, if an oligar-
chy is Democratic then, indeed, is Gov.
Sanders administration brilliant Demo-
cratic success.
