The n. o. Democrat has this to
say of Gov. Nichols:
We understood him then, as we
understand him now, to desire, as
earnestly as any man in Louisiana,
that there shall be no division in
our party; we understand that he
believes the opposition to US is too
powerful and numerous to admit of
any dissentiOns or divisions among
us, or OF any purpose to dissolve
and break up that grand party or
ganization whose banner he carried
through the last canvass and which
won the State from its despoilers.
