EDITOR ST TAMMANY FARMER:
A large mass meeting was held here
tonight. in anticipation of addresses
.sfrom Judge Thompson, Squire J. A.
Reid and other speakers" as the posters
declared. This was perhaps the largest
assemhlage of the voting population that
has been gathered together in Mande-'
vile for long time, and resulted in a
signal victory for ourpresent and future
Judge. After the crowd had gathered,
which was done as soon as Judge
Thompson's arrival was made known,
Nr. Ira f. Strain introduced Mr.. jos. A.
Reid, for an address. This is Mr.. Reid s
home, and when he began to talk. LOUD
and deafening applause greeted him.
His address was short, terse and to the
point. If 1.-THE Reid shows which way
the wind blows" Judge Thompson is
the coming man. In conclusion, Mr..
Reid solicited n courteous reception of
the opposing candidate, Judge Kemp,
who attempted to reply to Mr.. Reid's
argument, but his remarks were inef-
fectual Judge Thompson was then in
troduced, and, as good old citizen re-
marked, Didn't Judge Thompson chew
that man up:" The Judge could not

Vaudeville is solid for Thompson. and
casts the largest vote of any ward in the
parish. Messrs. Cook and Morgan were
on hand, and eloquently appealed to
the crowd to retire insi lie and refresh
their lungs. Everything passed off quiz
city but enthusiastically, and the next
morning the opposition could be OBJ
served hanging around the scene of their
demolition, like native "Lo' viewing
