Republicans have been allowed to interpolate
evidence after testimony WAS closed, SO as not
to allow Of its rebuttal, and the evidence fled
by the Conservative Committee has been alb
stracted or purposely mislaid SO as not to be
before the board in its deliberations. In all
Of these decisions the board seems to have
been guided by no fixed rule of right but has
varied its action so as to promote Republican
interest and defeat Conservative majorities,
involving itself in mass of contradictory
and opposing ruling, which offers no

devotion to the purpose of returning

committee has been sustained, although it is

SANTA CLAUS.
Glimpse at our Bazars on Canal
Street.
Where to Buy Christmas Presents.

Now that st. Nicholas is near at hand with
his sleigh freighted with all that the little ones
most delight in, We thought an inspection Of
the several trade centers ON our boulevard
would repay shs time spent, and hence We
started out On tour. Sidewalks were lined
by the -throngs bound on shopping expedi-
tions, bright faces and fair forms everywhere
met the gaze, and notwithstanding the in
clement weather the street presented bust
ling appearance.
Starting from the corner of Rampant and
Canal streets, we first visited the store of T.
Danziger l. Son, where we found gorgeous
display from the looms Of England and
France tastefnlly displayed. Crowds Of pur-
chasers thronged the establishment, and bust
ness seemed lively.
We next repaired to the agency Of the VIII
son Sewing Machine Company, 189 Canal
street Here the huttering motion Of the
needles, the busy fingers Of the operators and
the stir of the ladies, betokened the high ap-
probation held by our citizens Of this new
candidate for favor.
Near this we visited the rich and hand
somely decorated store of the Howe Sewing
Machine Company. Probably nowhere on
Canal street is there more rich and tasty
emporium to be seen. The black front with
its doree trimmings not only serves to attract
attention, but gives evidence of the taste Of
the designer. A beautiful, carpeted floor:
chaste Office and attentive ladies make 30
iourn in the Howe establishment extremely
enjoyable. The noiseless movement Of the
machines adds not little to the harmony Of
the whole.
At 167 we entered the extensive nsayasin of
Messrs. Feibee l. Gonsenheim, where we
noticed choice selection Of every variety of
dry goods, from the coarse crash towel for
the laundry maid, to the delicate lace collar
of the belle.
The well known depot of II. L. Byrne l.
Co., next merited our attention. 1853 has
already become household word in this
community, and judging from what was yes
terday exposed to our gaze, We certainly
acquiesce in the general verdict. Cashmere
shawls, laces of exquisite workmanship, silks
of the most delicate hues, almost compel the
visitor to inger in the enjoyment of their
splendors.
That grant center of all ladies, Messrs. j.
H. Holmes & Cos, was in its turn visited, and
here we found, as it were, an Aladdin's cave
opened to our view. From the dainty gos-
samer kerchief of the belle to the linen CAM
brio one of the servant, from the satin, bril-
liant in its shades, to the homely calico, the
eye was kept busy in its hurry drinking in the
beauties displayed.
The sweets of harmony next engaged the
reporters attention. Messrs. Ellie Black
mars store, groaning with lis stock of the
latest selections OF music and instruments,
would have kept anyone less amateur than
ourselves busy in an examination for weeks
When We entered ;aAt crowded depot oi

Compromise. Republican

This compromise majority is lab, but as
the vote is cast out, Marie is elected over
Mcclellan by 1913 majority, and Wright there
by beats Keys by majority Of 70 votes.
Not only does this change return two Re
publican members to the House, but the tax
ing of 526 votes from Goode elects his oppo-
nent. Crczier, to the Senate, and reduces
Moncure's vote materially.
By these manipulations the Republicans
are drawing ahead, and the representation
now stands: Democrats, 46: Republicans, AZ.
Appended will be found the protest of the
Democratic counsel, filed yesterday with the
board.
The undersigned committee on behalf Of
the Democratic party OF the
state Of Louisiana, beg leave to present the
following final protest against the action OF
the board, in refusing to decido upon and
nromuleate the returns from parishes Of As
icension' Assumption, Carroll, Avoyelles,
Rossier. Concordia, Natchitoches, Red River,
ST. Tammany, and the contemplated reference
of the same to the Legislature.
l. Because in those parishes the protests
fled are not in conformity with sections .
ana 26 Of the statute creating the board,
nnder which alone the board has power to
; invest beyond the returns, and there
he;nc no legal condensation. the returns are
,aaal7v nncontested, and as such should be
nrSmulgated, and even if those returns were
Contested in legal form, the law imperatiyeiy,
or1a,s that such returning officers "shall
not canvass, count or compile the statement

not, it possesses no power to pass upon the
returns for Treasurer, Congressman and
parish officers, nor upon the returns for
amendments to the Constitution, nor can
these questions be decided on partial re-
turn of the parishes by this board. The
board must decide these questions by final
action.
The action of this board, therefore, in so re-
ferring contested cases, as intimated by them,
would be unwarranted by law, and unprece-
denied even in the shameful and disgraceful
proceedings of the Lynch-Bovee Board. Nor
has the illegal action Of the board been con-
fined to the improper consideration Of subjects
in the manner Of its procedure, but its decis-
ions seem to be guided by no other will than
party interest. In the case of the parish OF
DeSoto, the board declined to receive and
canvass the duplicate original returns lodged
by the law with the Clerk of the District
Court. as it would seem Tor the very purpose
to supply the loss of those forwarded through
the Supervisor of Registration, when it was
established that the latter had been fraudu-
lently made way with by the dishonest super
visor. In case of Carroll, while fraudulent
and forged returns were rejected. SO far as
they concerned Republican candidates they
were received and counted against all Demo-
cratic candidates. In the case of Avoyeiies
the board went outside OF the returns, to cam
vass and allow q round majority OF one hun
dred and fifty in favor Of the Republican can
didates, basing their action on estimates and
coniectures.
In the case of Natchitoches, Assumption,
St. Tammany ard Red River and other
parishes, the returns from polls, invariably
and largely Conservative, have been rejected

We had lost almost all hopo in the
virtue of our people and the stability
Of Republican institutions We had
begun tn believe that governments

honest standard of patriotic men, and
had become the children of the can't

But this mist has been swept from

once o'ersprc.d tho sky ol our co,,n-
