The state elections in Louisiana take place
next month. The probability is that Mr.. Roman
will he elected governor. The Wings are pre-.
pnring for great growing on the occasion, hut
they are very careful! not To say word about Mr..
Romans being supported by the most influential
administration paper in the state. The ssBee"
says"Mr. r. is a moderate man in his politics.
By the above extract, it appears that the Balii-
more Republican anticipated the triumph of A. B.
Roman, but in its Infatuated devotion to It's fell
stood that he would be indebted for his success to
the advocacy of the democratic Bee! If the Re-
publican be not entirely blind, does not wfa'ly
squirt, he will readily perceive by looking over
our returns. how Far the Wing governor owes his
elevation to the democratic Bee. The staunch de-
mocraic Bee, for its good reasons and pur-
Wing candidate for governor, in diamerical oppo-
siton 10 its professions of democracy; in strict
| variance with the nomination of the democratic
convention, called and strongly supported by ii.
self; and in violent contradiction 10 the opinions
and feelings of its former supporters and political
friends. 1t advocated also the claims of Mr.. Hoa
Of him Inserting that he was COED Wing
Furthermore, the Bee exercised its utmost ingenu
ity of argument and occupied at least column
daily in supporting tn claims Of Mr. John Slidel
as tho regularly nominated democratic candidate
for Congress; and to such extent did it urge
his superiority over his opponent, thatf it had any
power Whatever, whether derived from its own iil-
auence or that of the party, it mus, have insured
his election Now, what is the result, Mr.. Repnb-
lican! The Wing Governor is elected, not by
the assistance of the democratic Bee, blu, in de-
fiance of it; for it is easy TO show that its assist,
ance was vast incumbrance. It's advocacy coulo
have no Influence over the Wing voters, and /,
prove that it had no control over its own forme
party it is only necessary to mark the result of i'll
vigorous Efforts in support of its own particular
candidate, Slide, who is beaten by majority y
nearly thousand votes; and if 10 this be added
the number thrown away upon Miles TAYLOR, i,
makes the Wing majority for Congressman 1900
Now We would ask the BaItimere Republican
whether this state of things evinces anv advantage
gained by Mr.. Roman from the support of the
Bee? If the most influential administration pape
could come no nearer to success with its OWL
democratic candidate, is it not evident that is
support was rather hindrance, than assistance te
the Wing Governor? If the Bee had any inan
ence whatever, it must have been With its owr
party, rather than with the Wings, who wer.
more likely to look with distrust than favor on T
candidate so strongly supported by this "mos in
fuental administration paper" The Baltimore
Republican may be very good authority for part,
matters in Maryland, bu. it clearly SHOWS little
about them here. This s'most influential" Bee
also advocated seven candidates for the legisla
ture, yet the lowest or our list exceeded the high
est on the Bees. What advantage does the Re-
publican think these seven candidates derived
from the support of the administration paper? 1
| Mr.. Roman had not had better support than the
Bee could give him, he would be in as melanchol,
a minority as the unfortunate John Sdell
