Pharr and his campaign ing party received one continued ovation through Calcacieu, Aca dia and St. Landry parishes las week. Bands of music and great crowds of people met them at every ap pointment, and the anxiety and enthusiasm of the people showed the galling effect of the burdens oF Fosterism. Such meetings and such recruits as the Dusons and the Garlands, point unmistakably to a sweeping victory m South Louisiana. It remains for North Louisiana to decide the fate. Populists and free silverites, and all others desiring honest elections and honest government, come oul and bear him defend your cause. Break the rings and restore the government to the people by elect ing "the old swamper," a man of the people for Governor. - -- it An official will hardly be much better or worse than those who elected him to office. He is usual lya fair exponent of those who elevate him to official position. Claiborne Guardian-Journal. SThen may the good Lord deliver as from Foster's re-election. Look in our cartoon and see the comnany he keeps in New Orleans. Part of that company is mnow in the penitentiary despite Foster'l efforts to keep it out, a larger part is is jail awaiting trial, and the rest are working for the re-elee tion of Fester and Fitzpatriek. Then remember Kellogg and Coge's trip to Baton Rouge on Democratic campaign funds, to speak to 8000 negroes mn thie n terest of Foster, and you have a fair idea of Foster's company, sand the kind of Governor be will make during bi second term.

Garland, Sr. one of the landmarks of democra cy in St. Landry, yesterday an nounced his allegiance to the Pharr ticket. In a ringing speech, in which no words were minced, and no quarter shown to Murphy J. Foster, he cut loose from the moor ines of technical democracy and joined Gunby and Duson, who had gore bfoere. The desertions from the ranks of Fosterism are increasing in numbers and in political power as the campaign progremsses. Every where strong men, who formerly battled in the democratic ranks, are enlisting under the Pharr ban aer. They can no longer endure the metbods of the fraud and trick ster who, by soan sort of iog glery, wa placed at the head of tildemocratio ticket. 'lbs Item hopes toe heap up with bthe of those who hav. eat emfrom the milt, but sos iLhr be Imposibily to "kaep tb" ton omna. tIe oe r s oa s o'h e.th. rm, sadhs must be mads to go a tr aIL.--NDily Item. &piOas pf well khown compJ be I eand the 1t a * i m slam irbsao bfmadI p-pb you mr.m The Country Blstriet and the Ballot zoxea. The Item is not fond of war, nor does it delight in bloodshed. So long as the rights of the people can be scucred by peaceful nmoans under the forms of law. The Item urges strict compliance with the statutes. Buit it begi:as to be clearly de monstrated that the Foster man agement in this campaign does not intend that an honest election shall take place in April next, The methods shown in all the prelimi nary events-the registration, the granting of representation in the polling booths-go to prove that a free ballot and a fair count is not a part of the plans outlined by the well-known political freebooters who are attending to tae "inside work" required to land the Foster ticket. To be forewarned is to be fore armed, and The Item now sonads a note of warning to the friends of fair and honest elections in the country district of Louisiana. It may as well be understood now as later that the only hope of secur ing an honest vote in April lies in the strong right arms and the phy sical courage of the good people of the State. Under the forms of law the Foster management in the several parishes will commit the most unblushing frauds. Only the fear that the people will rise in their might and destroy those who rob them will prevent wholesale swindling. Look st the Swords incident in St. andry; the conduct of "Judge" Long, the registrar of Jef ferson ; the open boast in the Dem ocratec press that "the Pharr tick et shall not win." It is clear, as The Item has before observed, that all the triggers are set for the political traps which are to eatch the people. Upon physical force alone must honest men rely. Sec tion this and section that of the election law are not half so edec tive in securing a free ballot and a fair count a one thoroughly brave man, who will hold the per petrators of fraud personally res posi'ble Our friends in the country dis trist can rest assured that in the city of New Orlem there will ke ten thousand brave men at the polls on election day. There will be no false returns, nor will there be nay voting of dead men and repeaters. Here the battle iube half fa an honest election au lres dy ws.

Coampelg Commsllee leeuls. The newly selected members of the campaign committee met at the courthouse to map out a plan of campaign and transact such busi ness as came Op. The following resolution was presented and unanimously adopt ed: We the campaign committee in convention assembled, being com prised of the original seven andI one newly elected member from twenty-four parishes, all present, have this day upon the motion of Dr. T. J. Tabor, of Webster, and seconded by Mr. W. L. Shackle ford, of Grant, adopted unsani mously the following resolution: Resolved, That we, the cam paign committee of the People's Party, send greeting to our breth ren in Union, Lincoln, Bossier, and all parishes not represented at this meeting, asking them to call mass meetings in their respective per umhe and do as a great majority of the parishes have done in mass meeting ratify the action of the state central committee held at this place on the 98d day of Janu ary, and elect a member to act as campaign committeeman for the present campaign. Mr. Waddll, of New Orleans, made a very pretty play to make a Booth campaign by voting the proxies of New Orleans, if same were admitted, but the committee did not have say wool over its eyes, and Mr. Waddell ran against a snag before he had begun to sail. In the afternoon Mr. Osborne, of Georgia, interested the audienee with a speech which was the best w ve ever heard in the line. The meeting adjorned about 11 o'clock p. n., subject to call.-La.
