POLITICS IN LOUISIANA
The Independents Hold the Balance OF
PoHyer-KeIIogy,s Case. '

GOWcr-EAellOisr5S " Nlse. . ..
Senator Kellogg regards the attempt to de-
fraud him out Of his legally elected scat with
philosophic indifference. His Democratic con-
frereS of the Senate deprecate Gov. McEnery' S
action, and claim that it will iniure their
party more than the election of q dozen Rep
resentatives. The Senator has no doubt that
he will yet be given his certificate of election
He says he received every Republican vote in
his district. With few exceptions the indie
pendent Democratic vote was cast for him
also, The independent movement in tho
State, he says, is showing steady and health
ful growth" They are especially strong in
Now Orleans and my district-the third.
These held the balance of power. The Inde-
pendents are as pronounced in their opposi-
tion to the Bourbons as the Independents of
Pennsylvania were hostile to Cameron in the
recent election. If the Republicans will help
them to gain control of the State government,
they can be depended upon to vote for the
Republican Presidential electors i'll S4.
May we safely count upon Louisiana in
that year?"

liberate emphasis. "if the election of the next
Republican President depends upon Louis

up toward the ceiling. The electric alarm
running from the police station to the
engine houses was at once sounded,
and the Congregational bell rung.
The steamers promptly responded, but ow ing
to the cap on the hydrant in front of the
store being screwed on so tightly that il
could not be removed, they were delayed in
getting stream, and were Obliged to take
water from the reservoir in Bridge square
BY this time the whole Interior of the store
was in flames. Nothing could be got out,
Mr.. Pillsbury even losing his books. Fortu-
nately there were solid brick walls on both
sides, and in few minutes the steamers had
the fire well under control. The flames
were confined to the lower floor. Central
Block, a three-story brick building, owned
by Mrs. G. w. Jones, was damaged about
$500. Insurance at q. E. Macomber's
agency. d. w. Pillsbury's entire stock OF
groceries was ruined. Loss about $500.

extent of several hundred dollars by smoke

damaged somewhat by the dense smoke
which filled the apartment.
