The Vote of the Louisiana Electors

va lue 90 INST, IN conformity
with law, the Democratic electors
chosen at the late election, assem-.
bled at, the State Capital to per.
form the duty of voting direct TO,
President and Vice-President of the
United States. Judge J. d. Wat
kins, of DE Soto, was called to pre-
side and after the proper oath was
administered, the chair announced
the electoral college organized and
reapy to ballot. There were no
absentees from this Interesting as
sembly. On counting the ballots
the tellers found no blanks or scat
terlng votes. Grover Cleveland, of
New York, received s votes for
President, and Thos. A. Hendricks,
OF Indiana, received 8 votes for
ce-President.
Col. j. d. Moore, of Lafourche,
a District elector, was chosen and
qualified as Messenger, to deliver
the vote to the President of the
United States Senate.
Thus, has Louisiana performed
her final faithful duty in the great
struggle to re-establish prosper
GUS and good government.
1t is a commendable fact that,
while no other than a moral obliea-
ton binds the elector to cast his
vote for the candidate of the party
that elected him, there is, we be-
lieve, but one instance on record
where such official proved recreant
to his trust and voted for the can
didate OF the opposite party.
Ar the meeting of the Pacific
Fire Co., held on Wednesday eve
ming last, resolution was offered
and adopted by which it was agreed
that the Company pay from its
treasury the salary of the engineer,
Mr.. Sam Fellows, in place of the
scrip issued him by the City Coun-
Gil in payment of his services for
the month of November. This is
right move, and the DEMOCRAT
heartily indorses it. 1t shows that
The gentlemen Of the Pacific Fire
Company properly appreciate the
services of their engineer, whose
place it would be difficult to fill in
the event that Mr.. Fellows should
be necessitated to resign. 1t will
be remembered that some months
ago., at the solicitation of Mr.. John
J. Ferguson, Foreman of the Paci-
les, the City Council passed a res
olution agreeing to pay one-half Of
;he salary of the engineer in Uni
led States currency, but, with one
has been unable to full
i'll the conditions of that resolu-
ion, for the very simple reason that
lone Of the PORTRAITS of Miss Will
Jams" have passed into the city
ash box. and the engineer of the
ickle-plated Silsby steamer has
'een obliged to dispose of his scrip
It a ruinous discount. Again, We
commend the Pacifcs for their ac-
