trouble in louisiana The reporter found the Cover

National Hotel, deep In the affairs OF State. To
the reporters questions as to the Governors
views OF the situation, he unreservedly spoke OF
the Kellogg rule as a gross usurpation which had
been patiently borne for nearly two years by the
people OF Louisiana. The late uprising was the

the danger imminent, and the emergency great.
Governor Br0gden then went into lengthy state
