l bberille ý eriaiant PiVAJLi.lIWI EVERY SATURDAY. -C. J. EDWARDS, ..........Business Manager C. 1. ADDISON .................. Publisher. SATURDAY, NOV. 28, 1891. The New Delta still grows. It is now a seven column paper. Eleven of the lottery company's officers and clerks were arrested in New Orleans last Tuesday. Will Judge S. DeLottery Mc Enery resign his-seat on the Supreme bench or renounce his aspirations to the governorship'? While third termimrn is repugnant to the-spirit of true Democracy it is the very corner stone of the Sam DeLottery McEnery faction. The Anti victory in Ascension has -given the editor of the News-the delirium tremens. He raves like a man in the active stage of the jim jams. Cool off old man. If Judge McEnery has not an understanding with the lottery, bow can -be, after rendering the decision in its favor, suffer himself to be their candidate.--Pt. Coupee Banner. We open our forms to give the glad tidings that McEnery was de feated yesterday in St. Mary by a vote.of 8 to 1. Bully for St Mary and the Anti Boys! 'Rah for Foster .and Caffery ! Capt. T. S. Adams the Farmers Alliance Candidate for Governor came over from New Iberia Wednes day and recieved an enthusiastic ovation from our people. He is a grand old man. We would be curious to know how tmany Farmers Union there are in this parish at the present time. We know they are quite numerous and their ranks are increasing daily, but we would like to get at the figures. -St. Martin Messenger. Samuel DeLottery McEnery has been repudiated by the popular vote of'tis own parish. The vote stood : 'Anti-McEnery, 599, McEnery, 548 -anid of these fully 100 were fraudu lent, imported votes cast at the Mon roe poll. The Alexandtia Times claimed that the Rapides parish Democratic convention would stand 49 McEnery, 48 Anti-lottery; but when it met Mao bad only 27 delegates and the Baton Rouge delegation is solid anti McEnery and anti-lottery. We have received the first num ber of The Ranger, the new paper just started at Rayne by our old friend Will C. Chevis. It is Demo cratic and anti-lottery to the core :sad the way it whoops up Morris' henchmen in Acadia is a caution. Long may the Ranger remain in the service. The blood of our people is getting to be a little hot, and it will endoubt edly keep heating until the elections. Bulldozing or bluffing will not take in the coming compaigc, every body is ready for the fray, and those who try such schemes, will be sndvy dissappointed, if not disfigured.-St. Measeoger. The Governor has removed Capt. Cade from his command of the Atta kapas Rangers of Iberia parish and ordered the company disbanded, which order was carried out Mon day last. The dispatch does not state the reason for this action of the Govern or, but we presume it was done upon she recommendation of Adjutant Gen. Faries, who inspected the mili tia in this section, some time ago. Mtbrgan City Review. The Lottery and Levees. It would be well for those people of the river ;arirhes who are so), willing to sell the autonomy and t honor of their State for the paltry bribe of the lottery company, to take notice, that if the infamous lottery job wins, the people of the parishes that need no levees will at once move to abolish the one mill levee tax, improperly called the Internal Improvement Tax, and leave ,the levees to the lottery to be provided for. The levees have swallowed up the entire domain of the swamp land grant, amounting to millions of dol lars, and the one mill State tax levied on farms which need no levees, amounting to millions more, and now they wish to deliver over the State to a parcel of niggers and gamblers for a few paltry thousands more. This course is sure to alienate all' sympathy of the Hill parishes, and the result will be that the one mill State tax will be abrogated by con. stitutionalamendment in spite the River and Lottery combine. A special from birmingham, Ala., dated Nov. 18th says: "A. publish ed letter from Senator James L. Pugh, dated recently from Washing ton, is creating great. comment throughout this State. It is a direct onslaught against Cleveland, and is based on the belief that he can tot carry either Indiana or New York. The Senator urges that silver can not be abandoned for a fight on the single issue of tariff reform. He said that the late elections do not indi cate that tariff reform has gained ground since the presidential election of 1888. He claims that the Dem ocracy would be beaten under Cleve land without fail; that the l emocrats in the next House would pass a free coinage bill, and it would go to the President. who would veto it. To nominate Cleveland would be to acknowledge the Democrats were wrong and Harrison was right. The address identifies Cleveland with Wall street and Sherman, and con nects him with the gold contraction influences of the former as opposed to the masses of the people. The Senator says harmony under Cleve land's leadership is impossible. It can not be had for the reason that Hill is much stronger in New York. The tone of the whole address is anything or anybody but Cleveland. The Senator suggests that the cry that the late elections are a victory for honest money is only a revival of the old crusade against silver." The Pros are so sure of carrying St. Mary Parish that they have parcelled out among the faithful, every office in the country. It seems a pity to spoil such a nice little com bination, yet forsooth it must be done. We would like nothing bet ter than to see all our friends in office, but the mistake they make, is in believing they can mount their official horse by using the lottery concern an4 its appendage McEnery, as a leader whereby they can drop into the saddle with the least difi culty.-Morgan City Review. The Rev. Father Elliott, a beloved and eminent Catholic priegt -h s call ed down the anathemas of the Church upon the Lottery. '1 he combined attacks of the Churches of all denominations will drive from the gamblers many honest men whose support they had enjoyed. Respectability, and morality and re ligion are foes before which even a potent Lottery Company must trem ble. Father Eiliott speaks for his Church, which will henceforth war upon gambling in its most destruct ive form.-St. Mary Banner.

What is it that end an gers these, but the lottery ? What but the tottery, is it, that has array ed Democrat against Democrat? Can any man fail to see that on this issue of morality and of public de cency; on this issue, where a keno skin game gang seek to get possess. ion of the State, for twenty-five years, that there can never be peace, You ma? hoodwink and deceive, and gull the 190 white voters of 'l'ensas, who cast 23 voters in the convention and the 275 of Madison who cast 18 votes in the cenvention,' on this basis of their negro votes, and induce them to install the lottery company in power for twenty-five years, through Ex governor Me Enery, but .the people, the country, where Pierson, CUffery, Foster. Adams, Jack, Cunningham, Price, Irion, Stone, Kernan, Strickland, Lafargue, Stub bs, Gunby, Perry, Davenport, Ellis, Jeffreys, Avery, Nicholls, Mayer, Martin, McCall, Pnah, Leveret, Wilkinson, Kerno i chan, Dymond, hunter, Hollings worth, Bell, Currie, Talbot and a thousand other brave and devoted men lead, will never consent to lot tery domination although Ex-gov ernor McEnery may lead it. The issue can not be reconciled. White primaries, where lottery mon ey can corrupt, where ward bosses rulesuprtDe and( herd their purchas ed dupesi where the power and protection of the law against coer cion and venality do not apply, can not, and will not settle the issue. The war against this lottery comn pany is to the knife. The true peo ple n ill not submit. If it controls the Democratic convention, and Democracy means lottery, then the truest Democrats of the state will fight the hybrid, bastard combinae tion -New Delta. Vidette, the talented New York correspondent of the Picayune, says; in a recent number of that paper, that "LR. floe & Co., have buHt a wonderful printing press for the New York Herald. It will print, cut, pasme. fold, count and deliver 48,00U ten or twelve paves Heralds pert hour, consuming over twenty ive miles of whi a paper drawn from three rolls. More than a year was occupied in building the press. Baton Rouge Truth. Well Done, Noble Creoles! The brave Creoles of St. Lauiry and Acadia, true to the noble spirit of patriotism which bid their forefathers seek exile in a foreign land rather than submit to alien rule, arose in their might last Thursday and secotched the McEnery Lottery Serpent with overwhelming majority of honest votes. Can Vermilion fail to follow ? The Regulators of Fausse Pointe, hake driven away the wieghers sent there by the government to weigh and sample the sugar made in that section according to the bounty reg ulations. It is the intention of Col lector Wimberly, says the Crusader, to send no more weighers to that place, and the sugar of the planters of that section will neither be. weigh ed at the sugar house or in the city, the consequence will be that those planters will not be able to collect the bounty on their crop.-St Mar tin Messenger. Has the Lottery so effaced Dem ocracy that no one remembers its candinal principles? Who says it is Democratic to elect a governor for a third term ? If third termers are unknown to Democracy, how can any man support McEnery for a third term, and pretend to be a Democrat.-St. Mary Banner. Japan has been visited by a disas'. trous earthq nake. McEnery and the lottery versus Louisiana's honor and prosperity. Dr Mayer made the far fly from the McEnery Lottery combination. Capt. Cade was an interested and attentive spectator at the speaking Thursday. The anti who supports McEnery is giving aid and comfort to the lot tery.-Pt. Coupee Banner. Will me Come Doawne? The question of the hour is will Samuel DeLottery McEnery continue to sit upon the Supreme Bench and pose as the candidate of a Nigger Republican Gambling Monopoly ? Come off Samuel, or turn loose the lottery. TLe Tenth Senatorial Executive Committee met in Lake Charles last Saturday with W.*B. White of Ver milion in the chair. Lake Charles was selected as the place for hold ing the approaching co vention which will convene there on Thurs day, January T. 1892. The Crowley Signal with hrpo critical cant charges the antis with refusing to submit to separate white Democratic primaries. Does our neighbor who professes to so des pise deception and inisrepresenta tion pretend the McLotteryites were in favor of putting the question out of politics when they voted solidly against the Sutherlin resolution ? Don't dodge but come out and say the truth. Police Jury Proceedings. ABEEVILLE, LA., Nov. 10, 1801.
