4TURDAY, APR. 21, 1904.
SLast Tuesday a .itction.
As was anticipated the state went
overwhelmingly Democratic lastl
Tuesday, notwithstanding the light
vote polled, due to very bad weather.,
The Democratic majority for the
head of the State ticket will exceed
40,000. Every parish in the State
went Democratic, and the coming I
legislature will be on joint ballot
practically unanimously Democratic.
In this parish, the home of some
of the chiefs of the lily white wing of
the Republican party, the Democrats,
after a heated campaign during which
every inch was hotly conteated,
t~hieved a splendid victory.
It was an all round Democratic
victory all over the State.
Did you hear the rooster erow last
Tuesday How did you like his
clear notes ?
No, gentlemen, money has its
power, but it is not all powerful, not
even in politics.
The elephant has shrunken out of
sight, while the little game cock is
very moth in evidence.
Terrebonne, from all accounts,
purely did herself proud last Tuesday.
It was a great Democratic victory all
along thetine.
The seeet ballot has come to stay.
It may not suit politicians and ward
beelers but it does the pi; ;., a:.
that ought to settle it.
The Ar.stralial ballot system of
yoting is all right. The people seem
to like it wel and not to share the
fears of t!ie lI'liticians concerning its
7estrailong influence on their liberties.
Capt. B. F. Winchester, defeated
candidate for judge before the recent
Demroratic primaries in the parishes
of Lafourche and Terrebonare, wound
up by taking the stump for the Re
publican ticket toward the close of
the campaign. Bis many friends

senate. The distinguished Alabt
mian has already ably defended on
constitution when attacked in th
senate, and will prove an able ally t.
Senator McEuery in the future,
should the attack ever be renewed.
Speaking of the election held last
Tuesday, under the new law, the
Times.Democrat says:
"The election was certainly quiet
enough, and Louisiana is to be con.
gratulated on having passed through
it without a serious disturbance of
any kind as far as heard from. The
machinery of the election seemed to
move smoothly enough, and we have
heardl no protests or complaints. In
New Orleans the count wasconducted
to opeunly that we do not see where
themre is chance for fraud Fuller
details will, of course, he needed
from the coudtry before judgment
can be passed upon the conduct of
the election there.
The new election system, as a
whole, worked admirably yesterday.
with few complitcations. The voters
nuderstood how to vote and did so
intelligently."
Benator Korgan's Victory
If ever a politician received a more
complete licking than Governor John,
ktoo, of Alabama, we would like to
know the name of the man. It does
hot aplpar that in the primaries held
last Satdrlay, Johnston carried a
single county of the fifty four in
Ihich elections were held, and his de
4at is so complete as to astonish
6ven his opponents.
' A few weeks ago the friends of
overnuor Johnston boamsted that they

Senator Morgon is admitted to be
the best constitutional lawyer in the
Senate by leaders of both political
parties who are competent to judge,
and withal an honest anwl conscien
tious man. His record shows him to
be a broad-minded statesman whom
no influence, no matter how powerful,
can swerve from the discharge of his
duty as he sees it, and to-day he is
recognized as the brainiest senator

for this reason his every utterance
commands the attention of the entire
country.
The great State of Albamia would
have been disgraced had she struck
down Morgan, the giant and states.
man, in order to bestow favor on a
political pigmy. There was little
reason to fear at the beginning, how
ever, that the schemes which had
been so carefully hatched to defeat
Senator Morgan would succeed, but
when it bcmne known that the
agents of the Pacific railroads had
formed an alliance with Governor
Johnson to prevent the re election of
Senator Morgan and thus unhorse the
ablest champion of the Nicaragua
canal bill in the country, the plans of
the conspirators were seat whistling
down the wind, and the Morgan
avalanche began to move with the
result that the opposition was buried
mangled and crushed.-States.
Light Ahead.
The Phil"delphia Record thinks it
I has been a long time since the Demo
cratic party hat an opportunity as
bright in a presidential year and be

I as that which is now offered, and
ivs : "In spite of a successful war

thea they seemed to be just before
I the party elected its candidate in

f The reason assigned by the Record
n for the faith that's in it are the con
spicuous failure of the administration
to stand true to its accepted and pro
i claimed duty to the newly acquired
ternrtory, presumably at the demand
of the trusts, and the practical aettle
ment of the silver issue, which caus.

body of Demerats in 1896. While
we agree with our contemprary as
to the more promising outlook for
the party, we must take issue with its
assertion that a majority of Demo.

the administration's policy of expan.

this is not the sentiment of more than
a very small contingent of southern
Democrats.-Ststes.
t Assault Of The Buahwhacker.
The cheap republian spell binders
who have been scuttered through the

have indulged in most filthy and foul
abuse of the tbest and purest public

at no time to make charges albsolute.

The States thus comments on the
ignorance of some men of the politi.
cal history of the country :
It is passing s.range how ignorant
even our most prominent men areof the
political history of the country. The
excuse given for those Southern Dem.
ocratie Senators who will vote to ad.
mit Quay has been that he voted
against the infamous Forte Bill.
Yet Senator Berry of Arkansas, the
other day showed from tue record
that it was ex Senator Cemeron, of
Pennsylvania, who voted against the
bill and that Quay voted for it We
have all along known that Mr. Came
ron generously came to the relief of
the South in her peril, but must con
fess that we were as ignorant as the
Senators as to Quay's vote.
The Springfield Republican says
that Appriser Wakeman, of New
York, has made a remarkable dis
covery, that the Psais Exposition
may cost the Republicans the loss of
the presidential election. Far more
Americans will visit France this
season than ever before, he says, and
a large majority of them will he

that many of them will be unable to
secure return accommodations before
November, and so thousands of good,
prosperous Republican votes will be
held helpless abroad while the pover
ty stricken Democrats at home will
proceed to carry off everything in
sight. Wakeman estimates that from
15,000 to 20,000 New Yorkers alone
will visit the Exposition, and enough
of them will be Republicans and wull
be detained abroad to involve possi
bly the loss of the Empire State to
McKinley. The situation would seem
to demand that the latter call in
some of his prosperity. There is too
much of it outstanding for his own
safety.

S WAsHINOTON, APRIL., 13, 1900.
Senator Jones, chairman of the
1 Democratic National Committee, who
has just returned from New York,
I ridicules the story that the anti Bryan
democrats, who are behind Dewey's
I candidacy, would get a Dewey dele
I gation sent from New York to the
Kansas City convention. He says
tha1 Dewey's candidacy will cut no
1 figure at all in connection with the
democartio nomination for President
that CoL Bryan will be nominated by
acclamation. And his cpinion is
shared by practically all the demo
crats in both branches of Congress.
It is said, although your correspon.
dent does dot vouch for it, that Dew
Sey's bac~kers have a lot of money to
use in buying the support of country
democratic papers, in order to try to
make it appear that there is a strong
democratic sentiment in favor of hiL
nomination. There is one drawoack
to this scheme that will kill it. The

s mostly poor men, are not for alde.

many of his colleagues when he said;
-I have more respect for Mr. Clark
than I have for those who have been
hounding him. I do not think the
use of $100,000 or more in electing
Mr. Clark was warranted, but at the
same time I have no .Ioubt that Mr,
Daly will spend at least $125.000 in
pro-ecutng the case. I want to say,
also, that I do not believe Mr. Clark
was personally cogmanz:t of the man
ner in which the money was used.'
Mr. Claik says he intends to get vin
dlicte-d, but that is all he will say at
this time. Tigre is little or no eubt
that the Senate will endorse thk re.
port of the committee, if Mr. Clark's
resignation oes not make a vote nu
necessary. Had the report been to
expel Mr. Clark a two third vote
wou:d have been required to adopt
it, but as it simply declares him not
eutitled to a seat a majority vole will
adopt it. There is a possibility that
Mr Ciark may forestall action .by
resigning and seeking a reelection -
Rtepresentative Catchiags, of .tis.,
is one of the democrats who thinks
that the ticket may oe Bryan and
Dewey. Speaking of that proba"ili'y
he said : "I feel sure that Dewey
would take the Viee Presidential
nomination, and think that is what
he is workig fto:. He certainly
must appreciate the fact that he car .
not get the nominmation for President
from Bryan, whose selection is abio.
lutety assured. At present no one is
named for second place who would
command as many votes as Dewey,
and, in facd, no one is suggested
whose name is aniversally accepted.
Bryan and Dewey can defeat Mr.
McKioly without any question."
Representative Talbert, of 8. C.,
has a habit of saying pertinent things
which are som,-times it revereveret. For
i;nstance, when Representative Steele,
of Ind., who had boasted of being a
farmer, said, in answer to a question
by Representative Richardson, of
Teon., that he raised "'corn and
wheat, cattle and bogs," Mr. Talbert
threw the House into laughter by ad
ding : "The gentleman will also raise
hell in II:dmna."
Senator elect B'akbhur sizes up
the political outlook thusly! "In my
Congressional experience of 25 yeats

her on the blunders made thus far by
the Fifty-sixth Congress we ought
to go out of businoss. They have
made up ,the issues of imperialism,
militarism and trusts exactly to our
liking. Indeed, if they had deliber

for us they could not have done bet.
ter. . Having these facts in mind I
feel certain that the rehubliuan mau
agers will hasten the close of the
session, and wellcome the day when
they can breath easy again so far as
Congress is concerned. For this
r ason I do not believe any effort
will be made to force the ship sub

are not looking for more trouble, un

don't believe they have.
Says the States :
A "vandal" bridegroom, while re
cently on his honeymoon trip to
Washington, broke off the head of a
miniature Diana that decorates the
interior of the Washington monument
and presented it to his duckie as a
souvenir. He was arrested and fined
a paittry sum of one dollar by a fool
police magistrate, to the intense dis
gust of the auperintedendent of public
ouildingi. This oftBial, by the way.
makts the astonishing statemeqt that
eight out of t.n of the mauttlator
caught, so far, are ministers and that
of the 177 memorial tablets but seven
are still intact. These clerical gentry
should be stripped of their robes and
