He was followed ly Mr.. Lnckett, VIII"
said he voted for the rerpetuation of the
lottery company until 1895, with certai"
restrictions. Those restrictions were
that it shonld surrender its monopoly
feature and that other companies mr.ht
lie established, otherwise he would not
have voted for its perpetuation. AS to
the question of graft, u,lc on the part OF
the Democracy and the people of Louis-
lana, they were not indebted to the lot
terry company. Mr.. Howard placed his
money against the blood Of the sons o'
Louisiana and those who were sacrificed
in redeeming the State. Honor IS high
above money.

been impaired by the rcnuucia,ion there

ists and will exist until the Legislature
rr,nts the right TO charter other compa
nips. The constitution demands action.
