The Louisiana Democracy Going 20
Pieces.

Pieces.
The prospect of Blaine's carrying Iouisi.
ana grows brighter with e1ca succeeding
day.
Up to yesterday there were three
sections Of the opponents to Cleveland
First, the original Republicans Sec
ond, the sugar planters, who decided to su D..
port the Republican ticket on the tariff
issue, and third, the Blaine and Logan pro.
lection clubs, nearly all of whom were
Democrats previous to the present cam
paign.
These have now all agreed to work under
the regular Republican State Central C,m-
mittee, though each is to have its own ex.
ecutire committee. Tnis action gives the
Republicans strong hopes of carrying the
State for Blaine and Logan.
The Democrats are threatened with sew
eral ugly splits in Louisiana. In the First
District Hunt, the sitting member, has
been nominated by one Democratic conyen-
tion, but another one is to be held in few
days, when another Democrat will uadoubt-
cdly be nominated.
In the Fifth District the convention to
nominate candidate for Congress split in
two-one faction nominating J. Floyd
King, present member, and the other Chas.
]. Boatner.
In the Sixth District the sitting member,
f. I. Lewis, was beaten by the sugar
parishes for voting for the Morrison bill las
winter, and A. b. Irion was nominated.
Lewis friends say they will not submit to
this result, but will run him anyhow.
These splits make it very probable that
the Republicans will carry the State.

If any Democrat can squeeze comfort out
of Tammany's action last night in
"ratifying" the Cleveland and Hendricks
ticket, then he is phenomenon of hope in
phenomenally hopeful party. In the Lam
euage of the man who looks over a report
er's copy, the address of Tammany's Gen
e1al Committee can be "boiled down" into
very few words. Those words are "Wo are
Democrats, but We will be doggoned if we
are Cleveland men," And then they went
and passed series of resolutions, in which
Cleveland is arragned for his vetoes, and
at the very tail end of which they pledge
themselves to vote the Democratic ticket
The report says there were applause aud
Kisses; and that "for some time it was
doubtful which prevailed" Oh, yes, Tam
