In A BRoIL.-The election excite
ment in st. Landry, always furious,
has not subsidized with the election. G.
M. Thompson, independent candidate
for sheriff, was reported by both news
papers at Opelousas elected by ma
jority of about sixty votes over c. C.
Dusca, the present incumbent and late
democratic nominee for that Office.
The Courier and Democrat published
tabular statements of the entire vote of
St. Landry, showing the above result.
1t seems there is discrepancy at
one polling place--Leonville-- between
the commissioners tally sheets and
their statement of votes; the former
showing q larger vote for Thompson
than the latter. A suit has been insti
tuted, we believe by Duson against
Thompson, TO decide the contest for
the Office.
