Louisiana and Her Burlesaue Govern
ment-Ex-GovernOr WarmOth's Views
Of the Situation.
Ex-Governor Warmoth, OF Louisiana, the State
that takes up the attention Of the nation just now
in anything but pleasant way, was in the city
last night ana stopping at the Fifth Avenue, en-
route to New Orleans. He is hurrying back to the
Crescent CITY to respond to several civil suits insu-
tuted against him by Governor Kellogg, who
must be very imp of mischief and rnal1gnlty,
If what Warmotn says about him be only
half true HERALD reporter saw Ex-Governor
WarmOth last evening at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
and inquired about the truth of the statement
that Governor Kellogg had issued requisition
upon the Governor of the District Of Columbia for
the delivery OF his person. and that the case arose
from some criminal transaction in which
Warmoth had been engaged when Governor of
Louisiana.
WARMoTH-It is true Kellogg has ordered the re-
vival of certain civil suits against me amounting
to $500 600; but this Is OF his tricks to embar
rass me. or course, am compelled to attend and
answer before his Judge and his jury, and am
now on my way down there for that purpose. He
tried the same annoying dodge last summer. He
has honored me by suppOsing that am at the
bottom of all this agitation against his illegal and
trumpery government: He thinks am the i'm
pulse that has set the President and Senator Car
penter to work to Knock him and his
GANG OF CONSTRUCTORS
out OF office and out OF the chances OF plum der.
With this notion IN MS very small mind he goes
to work to embarrass me In Washington by start
Ing these suits airesn, and at the same time
gives out, by way OF influencing his case before
Congress that the suits are re for criminal
potato and MIS- cunning is as mean as
his capacity the suits 90 against Mog me-
shall appeal to the supreme Court and, OF course
before / reach hearing there Kellogg and his
crowd Will be gone and forgotten.
REPORTER-What are the chances for a new cleo
ton in louisiana
WARMorHIA new election Will be ordered. IN
dOuDtediy Morton stands alone IN his opposition.
You will find he Will get no support in nis party.
Conkling takes Carpenters side, so does Ferry,
Frelinghuysen, Edmunds and half dozen more
leading republican Senators. Above ALL the Pres
dent avors new election, and the serious thought
OF the whole country demands 1t.
REPORTER-DOes Carpenters speech cover the
WARMorH-Entirely. 1t is an able and compre
could hardly have appreciated the situation BETTER
judging from his address, Kellogg's government
is most unmttigated fraud. 1t would be laugh
able concern il 1t were not so serious and danger
Gus q precedent in the operations OF republican
government. Kellogg himself Is hated and des-
psea by everybody-even by the blacks. His IN
stincts are OF the lowest quality running into
petty intrigue and petty exploits of tyranny.
REPORTEK-WhO do you suppose Will be the DEM
ocratic candidate in case OF new election
WARMorH-Can't exactly say. Perhaps Mem
cry again You see the Two parties N Louisiana
put up a straight out ticket 1t will get beaten by
5000 majority; but give and take ticket, or a
mixed one, as 1t is called, under democratic
patronage, is bound to carry the State. l
should remark, however that great deal
depends on organization. Even straight
out democratic ticket might win II 1t
had good organization to support it, That is
everything in a State like Louisiana; but the
democrats have been organized only in an in
different way. This time, In view OF the results
and after the experience OF the present
PAINFUL BURLESQUE
OF a State government they will, no doubt make q
determined effort to win the day.
REPORTER-Has Kellogg any chance OF being
renOminated in case of new election
WARMOTH-NOt the smallest. III the republican
party cannot select any better standard bearer
they had better surrender the fight. Kellogg has
had his day in louisiana and is not worth talking
about.
REPOKTER-You, of course. feel satisfied that the
present government OF Louisiana Is illegal and I'M
constitutional
wARMoTH-Decidedly. There is no government
in the State now. There is a gang OF men pre-
tending to be the government who might as well
pass over the border and pretend to govern Texas
by legitimate authority. IL is cruel farce from
beginning to end. but the people are content to
stand 1t a little longer in the hope that the in
dlgnant sense Of the whole country will impe Con-
gress to take such action as will speedily relieve
the State Of the present horrible nightmare.
