NEw OHLEANS, July l3th, lci9.
We have heard enough from the county to
convince every ono. that he Harrison banner
streams IN sovereignty from The ramparis Of Lou
isiana. In the First Congressional District,
White wv IS elected over Leonard by tho pro-
disious majority OF hro thousand one hundred aud
hrfpiy roi,'. The whole District pollcd 500
yc'r' e ,h-sc White Rad 3el3. ana ms cPp5-
nent 1893. In several parishcs, Leonard's vote
IS greater than The Administration strength, bot
IN not a single parish has the Wing candidate
received as strong a vote as will be given TO
Harrison IN November.
In the Second District, it IS believed that
Dawson ". B. is elected by a majority not
exceeding o votes. To give you an idea OF the
gain for the Wings in this District will state
tina, Al The Presidential election, j, gave Van Bu-
rem $50 majority, and that when Gen Dawson
was a candidate for Governor, he received over
500 majority tho, district. Il IS not yet posi-
lively asceuained that the Wing candidate IS
defeated, as the returns, though apparently
correct, are Informal The struggle has been
fierce one, md had Judge Morgan been brought
out som what earlier, there Is not a doubt he
would have len Dawson far in the rear.
From the Third District, we have as yet only
received returns from the wing stfongholds.--
They have given Moore very large majontes.
lie enters the region Of Van Burenism 500 votes
ahead Of Winu. and do not think be can be
defeated. Those who are acquainted with the
