THE LOUISIANA ELECTION.
The Vote for Gubernatorial Candidates
and fine Debt Amendments

The Vote for Gubernatorial Candidates
and the Debt Amendment.
The election in this State last Tuesday
passed off without serious trouble in any
parish excepting Assumption, where two
men were shot and wounded at the first
ward poll, and even that outbreak was only
momentary and did not affect the result OF
the ward contest, much less that of the par
ish election. In New Orleans the regular
Democratic ticket had walk over and the
Republican candidate for Governor was
given 1891 votes, nearly 1000 less than Judge
Beattie received in 1879. This extraordi-
nary result is attributed to a repetition OF
the shameless frauds by which the city ring
carried the previous municipal election.
The vote of the State is considerably larger
than that thrown four years ago, and not
withstanding McEnery ran behind his ticket
in every parish, his majority is apparently
from 10000 to 5000 larger than that of
Witt over Beattie in 1879, The fate of
the debt amendment is in doubt, although
the Times Democrat confidently claims its
adoption. The other seven amendments
We're adopted by very large majorities. The
following table shows the votes for Gov
ernor and the debt amendment according
to latest reports from the Farieus parishes:

Assumption parish was carried by the
Republicans last Tuesday, the majority for
nearly all their candidates exceeding 700.
In the judicial district composed of As
sumption and Lafourche, Hon. Taylor
Beattie defeated Judge A. F. Knoblock for
District Judge, and Hon. John S. Billiu
was elected District Attorney over Mr.. E..
A. O'Sullivan, the present incumbent. A
shooting ARRAY occurred at the first ward
poll in Assumption, colored man wound
ing two others, but the difficulty was soon
suppressed. The man who did the shoot
ing was pursued and arrested.

| MUNICIPAL Observation-Disclosures the
annual town election is to take place next
Saturday, there is very little surface indi-
cation of any excitement or interest con-
| corning the matter, but it is more than
probable that in the few days that still pre-
cede the event there will be some lively
| work done in the way of electioneering on
behalf of the rival candidates. The contest
for the Mayoralty will probably lie be-
tween Mr.. Victor Maurin, the present in
| cumbent of the Office, and Mr.. w. G. Will
kinson, though we have just heard re-
port that Mr.. G. A. Gondran will also be in
the field. We stated last week that Mr..
Gustave Israels name had been mentioned
in connection with the position, but we
have it from the gentleman himself that he
is not an aspirant and does not wish to be.
1t is currently reported that when Mr..
Wilkinson consented to cooperate with the
fusion movement that resulted in the de-
feat of the Republican district and parish
ticket last Tuesday-on the face of the re-
turns, at least-a promise was made that
the Republican leaders engaged in that
political enterprise would give him their
support for the Mayoralty. but if this was
really the case, itremains to be seen whether
the obligation will be fulfilled, or Mr.. Will
kinson treated to dose of the same treach-
cry and bad faith that we're exhibited by
these tricky traders towards the nominees
of their party in the remarkable contest
that eliminated the other day. So far, the
only candidates for Secretary, Collector
and Constable whose names we have heard
are Messrs. w. D. Park, E. A. Ramirez and
Jos. Thompson, but others will doubtless
appear, in the arena before election day
arrives. For Treasurer there are no less
than four aspirants, if common report is to
be relied upon, to-wit: Messrs. Jno. F. Ter
rio, Jno. Solozano, Jos. Gondran and Sam.
Ayraud, and it looks as if the main interest
in the contest will center upon this Office
and that of Mayor. There is very little
talk relative to the choice of Aldermen and
AccacSnr
