call the Democratic members OF

no spirit Of controversy developed, and a
very moderate tone characterized all the
speeches on the subject. IL was generally
admitted that the Republican minority
should be afforded the fullest and freesl
opportunity 10 discuss and amend the
pending BILL and the caucus closed by
adopting the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Democratic mem

NIcHbrLS VICTORY.

The election OF Francis T. Nichols, the
Democratic candidate for Governor oil
Louisiana, by so large majority as he has
secured, is very bad omen to the Repub-
lican party. The Republicans put up
against him their very strongest man
Warmoth. They believed that the defeat
OF McEnery Ind caused factional split in
the Democratic party which would result
in SO large an increase in the stay-at-homc
vote Ms to mako Republican success
absolutely certain. They went into the
campaign, therefore, in spirit OF elation.
They had abundant means, and the active
sympathy OF oil Northern Republicans.
Notwithstanding this they have been
most thoroughly beaten. The result shows
more clearly than could n similar result in
any other Southern State have shown, that
the South will continue TO be solid against
the restoration Of the Republican party to
power. The people Of the South have not
forgotten the bitter period OF recon-
struction and the outrages OF 1876, when
the electoral vote Of Louisiana was
stolen for Rutherford b. Hayes. The Re-
publican cause is absolutely hopeless in
the South. No gifts that the party oil
Foraker and IIalsiead can head to the
Southern people will ever cause them to
grow unmindful Of the prosecutions Of the
past, or cause them 10 swerve from their
allegiance to the Democratic party, which
has brought them all that they have
or have had of opportunity and
prosperity. So long rs 1t shall be
question of Republican triumph, the
South will always be Democratic from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande. In this the
Republican party reaps what II has sown.
When Il could have afforded to be gener-
Gus, II was malignant; when II might have
been conciliatory, il was tyrannical. When
the South asked for bread II was given 0
stone. Time las not allayed the appre'
tensions Of the Southern people at the
thought OF return OF Republican
rule to the country. They have but
10 listen % the voices Of Sher'
man and Foraker and Chandler and
Fairchild on the stump, or those Of
Halstcad and Reid In the press, TO be
convinced that their ancient enemy Il
eager to regain power only that he may
persccute and pillagc tho South again
The wondrous quickening Of the indus
trial activities Of tho South since Mr.
Cleveland was elected demonstrates
clearly enough In what direction lies th,
interest Of the South. And that the
South, having assisted in bringing abou

men,, Is not disposed TO risk all she has
