GLORIOUS VIC
TORY!
ALE HAIL LOUISE AN.A!!

The rout of the enemy is complete. Never
have the wings ohtaned more decisive victory.
louisiana has proved herself the strongest
Wing stale in the Union. In an aggregate vote
of ten thousand, she presents minority Of about
THREE THOUSAND for Harrison. Stand aside,
Connecticut--stand aside Rhode Island-Louis'
iana leaves you in her rear.
Letters from N. Orleans of the 18th confirm
the previous accounts to their full extent. In all
tho parishes but eight, the Wing majority is
2539. Mr. Whites majority in the first Con-
gressiona district is 5000. In the third Mr.
Moore (Whig) is said TO be elected by vote OF
two to one. In five parishes his net gam is 230,
and he leads VIM $50. In the second the re.
suit is doubtful.
Louisiana gave her Electoral vote for Van Blu
rem in 1865
The Wings have carried the Legislature
which insures them U. S. Senator, in the
place Of Mouton, Van Buren, federast.
Correspondence Of the Baltimore American.
New ORLEANS, July 18th, 1910.
Wo have heard enough from the country TO
vince every one, that the Harrison banner streams
in sovereignty from the ramparts of Louisiana. In
the FIRST Congressional District, WHITE, (W) is
elected over LEONARD by the prodigous majority
of too thousand one hundred and toenty votes, The
whole District pollrd 5l0G votes; of these, White
had 37l3, and his opponent 1893. In several 5par-
ishes, Leonards vote greater than the Admins
traton strength, but in not single parish has the
Wing cand idate received strong vote as will
be given for Harrison in November
In the Second District, il is believed that Daw
son (V. b. is elected by majority not exceeding
10 votes. Tosgive you idea of the gain Of the
Wings in this District, will that at the Presi
dental election, it gave Van Buren, $50 majority,
and that when Gen Dawson was a candidate for
Governor, he received over 800 majority in tina,
district 1t is not yet positively ascertainod that
the Wing candidate is defeated the returns,
though apparently correct, informal, The
struggle has been fierce one, and had Judge Nor
gan been brought out what earlier there is moi
Il doubt that he wonId have left Dawson far in the
From The Third District, we have as yet only re
ceived returns from the Wing strongholds. They
have given Moore very large mojores. He en-
ters the region of Van Burenism 500 votes ahead
OF VIM, and do not think he can he defeated
Those who acquainted with the entire district
say is impossible.
You must know that tho Van Buren, men here
have been calculating with unshaisen confidence
on the election both of Dawson and Winn. The
latter is their idol--he is ultra in politics, smart
active, intriguing and cunning. Local crcumstar
ces favored the election of both, and if Wnn be de
feated, it is signal triumph of principle.
The Legislature will be Wing. The Senate cor
ssts of II members OF these the Wings have
and the Van Buren, party eight. One district to be
heard from, which is certain to return Wing
The House has fifty members; OF these tho Whg
have already succeeded in electng 26; the Var
Burenites Is. Parishes returning nine members t'

out of the nine. This will give us 80 to 20, or
majority of 10 in the House and in the Senate o

n majority is certain.
THREE CHEERS FOR LOUISIANA!
