1T seems that Internal invention, the
tissue paper ballot, is still popular
South. At primary last week in the
Third Congressional District of Louis
lana, after 359 voters had deposited their
ballots. there were found in the box 515
votes. Inasmuch, however, as 1t was a
Republican primary and two of the
three candidates making the race are
those shining lights OF Louisiana Re-
publicanism, Senator Kellogg and Con-
gresham Darrall, we suppose that the
incident doesn't count" and we are
cOnsoled by the reflection that the Louis
lana Republicans are too high minded
to cheat anyone but their friends.

The Republicans of South Carolina
fuse with the Greenbackers; in North

in Indiana with the Prohibitionists; in
Virginia with the Repudiationists; in
Tennessee with the State Credit people;
in Arkansas with the Low Tax party,
and in Georgia and Texas with the In
dependents. All for the spOils, and in
no State will they succeed, except possi-
bly, Virginia.
