New ORLEANS, Jan. 7.-General Long

dent late tonight aud expressed his firm
conviction that the Nichols government
had been fairly elected; that it should and
would be sustained The returning board
had been unjust in its action, and he de-
ciined recognizing it in any event. The
outrages occurring had no political signif-
canoe any more than if they had occurred
in Maine, New York or Illinois. He does
not believe that any intimidation, so-called,
occurred at this election. Any irregulari-
ties that may have occurred were fully
counterbalanced. He considers the face
of the returns fair indication of the re-
suits and as giving the Democrats the
state unquestionably. He proposed to
take no action in the matter whatever,
but, it compelled to do so, it would GER
tainly be IN favor Of the Nichols govern
ment.
1t was his opinion that the United States
military authorities did not care who was
declared governor, provided the public

AS pertinent to this opinion it may bt

The Chicago Tribune seems to have
made an honest effort to understand the
remarkable interview with the president,
spread broadcast over the country. By
authority, on Monday morning. 1t says:
The interview related chiefly to the re-
cent conversations which Hewitt had with
the president on the subject of South Car
oina affairs, and so far as one can Judge,
Hewitt appears to have reported pretty
nearly what the president actually said.
but was not eminently successful in con-
veyiDg what the president actually meant.
