Vol. 1 No. 34

Bayou Chicot, La., May 20, 1891
Editor Clarion, Opelousas, La.--
Dear Sir: In your last issue appears a series of resolutions passed by the Chicot
Farmers' Union, relative to the endorsement of Mr. Courtney's petition relative to
changing the polling place at this point, from my store to the school house.  I deem
it due myself and the citizens at large to publish the said petition verbatim, that
all can see what has been endorsed.  Permit me to add that to taint of unfairness or
undue influence has ever been laid to this banner Democratic box of the parish, and
it is due our people to say that not a dollar was ever used to carry this poll --
its sound Democracy being ever above price or suspicion.
Please publish this lette with the petition, and oblige yours truly.
Sam'l Haas
