LOUISIANA OURS

Another of the twenty-six States has abandon
ed Martin Van Bnren, and declared for IIarri-
son. Louisiana, which in 1886 gave her electo-
raj vote to the Undertook Jockey, has now sig
niied, in terms too plain to be misunderstood, her
intention to take part in 1910 in the good work of
elevatng the Hero of Tppecanoe to the Presi-
dental chair. Louisiana, following in the foot
steps" of Connecticut, Rhode Island and Virgin
ia, has cut loose from Loco Focosm and come
out for "Harrison and Reform" We have not
yet full details of the vote in this State but the
general complexion of the intelligence is all
that could be desired. In the first Congresson-
al District, ,chich in 1886 gave Mr., Van Buren,
nine majority the Wings now have between ONE
AND TWO THOUSAND MAJORITY! In the second
Congressional District where Mr.. V. B. received
7l9 majority, the Loco Focos have barely saved
their candidate for Congress by the meagre ma
jority 10! The third Congressional District
is not yet definitely heard from. In 1886 this
District gave the Wing ticket 1872 majority, and,
however the contest may result between Mr.
VIM and Mr.. Moore (the two candidates for
CongressD it is not doubted that the Wing
strength in that District has increased handsome
ly. We have then in the lst and Sd Districts
majority of near two thousand against thirteen
Loco Foco majority in the I'd District. This
glorious result removes all dotbt about the cleo
toral vote of Louisiana 1t will be given beyond
question to Old Tippecanoe by thousands. Nor
will the example be lost upon the neighborng
Southern States. With Virginia and Louisi-
ana for Harrison it is hardly probable that any
of the intermediate States, save; perchance,
multiplying South Carolina will hold out against
the popular feeling in favor of the Reform Can
didates and Cause. ALL HAIL THEN LOUISIANA!

LOUISIANA ELECTION.
The results of the election in this city have surprised
the most extravagant expectations A majority OF
600 votes was yesterday the highest limit of our hopes.
But the reaction exceeds all calculation. Instead OF
600an estimate supposed to be extravagant-the
official returns for the city of New Orleans shows a
majority Of lll9 on the Congressional and liza on the
| Legislative Ticket.
The ioocst Wing candidate on the Legislative Ticket
received majority of 1904 over the highest on the
Democratic Ticket When it is recollected that the
Wing majority in 1888 was Ia 1t will be at once seen

ed both Wings and Demoerats.-A this we can
say, without fear of contradiction is sai
for HARRISON. :,

The din Of strife and Of battle are over, and we car
calmly and deliberately look at the result and est.
regard to New Orleans, it may be safety said, that
Doth friends and foes are asounded at the prodgiou
vote thrown for the Wing ticket The most sangunt
yotarles of the cause scarcely anticipated more thar

from beginning to end The enemy in their NORTH
cation and chagrin may seek for excuses, but nom

Peace and harmony prevailed throughout the con
test-not the slightest obstacles were lnterposed 4
prevent every individual from the free and unramellet
exercise of the right of suffrage To the credit an,
honor of both parties be it said, that animated as wa
the entire through aprotraced period OF TIRE
days, not single disturbance arose. not fight nor
fracas, nor even an alteration occurred.
The Senate will in all probability stand the sam
as last year, viz wings, 6locofocos.
In the House. the wings have already elected l
members, viz: I III Orleans, in Jefferson, in 81
in West Baton Rouge in East Baton Rouge. l il

gislature safe :.
