Especial TO Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Louisi-
ana people are deserving Washington,
having become satisfied that the Presi-
dent will Withdraw the troops from the
support OF the Packard government
during the next week. When that is
done the supremacy OF the Nichols
government will be manifest and ac-
knoWledged within @ very short time,
and that without riots or bloodshed,
unless. indeed, Packard's adherents de-
liberately bring on hostilities by unne-
cessary resort to violence In the trans
actions of the ordinary public business.
This may be attempted with o view to
secure the presence Of the troops once
more. Such an attempt would, how
ever, fail OF It's object. Packard has not
the strength to maintain fight for any
length OF time. and Nichols has force
sufficient to quel any disorder OF the
kind at It's inception.
The Presidents Commission to go to
Louisiana will doubtless be appointed
next week. Mr.. Foster, of Ohio, seems
definitely fixed upon as ono OF the MEM
bers.
