tions did not come in rapidly, and tn
crowd went out Office hunting. Such Off

crowd was designated to take charge 9
the sherifI's office. which he did, placing
guard around tie courthouse. Eickshur
went Democratic last summer, and is ''colo

The cap of the climax, the Chicago Time
of the third instant, treats the matt,
edtorially. and this is the way Chicas
looks at us:
The taxpayers Of New Orleans held
meeting yesterday at which they invite
the officers recently elected to resign. Th
reason was that the officers had not file
any bond for the faithful performance {
their duty. The sheriff and one of til
magistrates-ali the officers pointed OF
who could be fourd--deened it expedier
TO resign. and did so. Other officers VIII
have not compiled with the law will
called upon by citizens committee. an
will probably throw up their hands to avoi
trouble.
If the Times editor had reflected he weul
