After the Battle.

The N. o. City Item thus accounts
for apparent Democratic defeat:
We do not propose to give much con
sideration at this time to the cause O.
defeat. The Item said at the time o.
the introduction of the tariff issue thai
it was most unfortunate move on the
part of the President. Harrison won
the fight on this issue.
Another, but much less prominent
factor in Cleveland's defeat was his
civil service reform system. The New
York and Brooklyn ward workers with
no Federal spoils in sight either knitted
or did not work for the head of the
ticket. This cause, and not treachery
on the part of Hill, was the reason why
Cleveland dropped SO far behind the
State ticket.
enseling against the South, fortunate
ly, does not seem to have been an i'm.
portant element in the result. There
we're Republican gains in States where
sectional sentiment is not as intense az
it is in some of the States which show
Democratic gains.

The Philharmonic Hsf AS, Hss,fyaciation again
on last Wednesday evening gratified q
talented audience with one of their bril-
liant concerts, consisting of melodious
songs and sweet music. Among many
of the beautiful voices the Association
u indebted to Mrs. A. M. Levy, for
adding to their lengthy programme two
beautiful songs, which brought the
house down. Space forbids US to men
ton how.exquisite each part was exc
cuted, but We must steal space and
time to mention the name of Miss o..
Laas, who never fails to hold SPELL
bound her audience with her melodious
voice and sweetness of expression. She
is endowed with gift that few of our
fair damsels of the Sunny South possess
and that is {using the common express
sion) she takes we'll at all times.
The concert proved perfect success
in every respect, adding to its already
overhowing treasury $65. The ball
which followed proved one of the most
enjoyable of the season, and for the de-
lightful music furnished for same, we
extend our compliments to Mrs. M. K.
Lastrapes. B.

those of the Solid South, were neces.
sary to secure his election The only
States which he appears to have car

California. The latest returns indicate
that the House will be very close, with

The Weekly Louisiana Review

Our valued friend, Gen. Leon JAS
tremski, late of Baton Rouge, has is
sued the prospectus of his new paper
to be published in New Orleans, and
which will be especially devoted to
Louisiana. 1t will contain every week
thorough condensation of all interest
ing news items appearing in the vari,
Gus local papers throughout the State.
This feature alone must necessarily
prove an important factor i'm attract
ing the attention of people abroad to
the superior inducements that Louisi-
ana presents to the thrifty immigrant
and the enterprislng capitalist, and
materially contribute IN keeping onr
own people constantly informed of the
march of progress in every locality.
Accurate market reports will be fur
nished, also a full summary of city
news.
The Review will, besides, contain all
species of interesting miscellany aud
treat in ii vigorous, but courteous and
dispassionate tone the various ques
tions of public interest that may from
time to time arise.
The Review will be an eight-page
pape. and the subscription price only
81 so per annum Office, 81 Caronde-
let street.
In prosecuting with his accustomed
energy and we'll known ability the
work which he has undertaken, and
which will~doubtless powerfully con-
tribute to the progress of the State,
Gen. Jastrrmski will soon place his pa
per in tie front ranks of Louisiana jour
nalism, and we bespeak for him large
number of readers in st. Landry and
South Western Louisiana.

The House Democratic.
N. o. Times-Democrat, Nov. 7,

N. O. Times Democrat, Now.
The indications are that the Demo-
Gratis will have control of the House of
Representatives by small majority ;
but sufficient to protect the South and
the country from any hostile Republi-
can legislation. This will be good
news indeed; and, if the Presidency is
lost to us, as now seems highly proba-
BILE, the House will be our sole protec-
ton. The Times Democrat has been
very anxious on this subject, for it
feared that if the Republicans had con-
troll of the three branches of the gov
ernment-of The Presidency, the Senate
and the House-they would inaugurate
legislation against the South and at
tempt to stir up toll and trouble here
and we warned the Democrats to pro-
tect themselves against such an acci-
dent as the defeat of Mr.. Cleveland by
assuring Congress in any instance.
1t now looks as though they had done
this. The returns from q large num-
Der of districts have not yet come in,
but from those we have heard from il
would seem that there is Democratic
majority of fifteen.
Later news may change the returns
here and there, but we do not believe
| it will make enough changes to affect
the House. We arc confident that il
will he still Democratic, and will re-
main wall OF protection to the Soutl
| against all hostile legislation.
