she reciprocated his passion. About a

The special continues:
| Mrs Miller went to the photograph

THE RESULT.

The election is over and Louisiana is !
agdfn saved. Advices from all over
the State indicate that Gen Nichols !
has been elected by the tremendous
majority OF $4,000. This means that
the people Of Louisiana will never con-
sent to again turn their government
aud civilization over to the Repupli-
cans aud that Warmothism and Re-
publicanism is buried forever.
When Gov. Warmoth accepted the
Republican nomination for Governor
he knew that he had no chance of be-
ing elected, that his candidacy only
meant mischief aud that it was mem
ace to the best interests OF the State.
He had hoped, however, to widen the
breach between the factions OF the
Democratic party and thereby enter Il
Republican wedge for the National
contest, but his judgment was bad.
His action has had the opposite effect
and as he and his followers are cha
grined all good Democrats are cores
pondingIy eIs tel, for his candidacy has
been the means of reuniting US and in
November Louisiana will be the solid-
est of tue solid South for the National
Democratic ticket.
Locally, the contest was settled be-
fore the election by the withdrawal OF
the anti.ring ticket, aud what is known
as the ring ticket went through with
out opposition from district judge down
to constable. Against the personnel oil
this ticket the TELEGRAPH has never
had aught to say and it does not hesi-
tate to say now. that each and every
one Of them will make good officials,
All of them, with the exception of oul
new sheriff Gen. Theobalds, have had
several years experience, and none who
know Gen. Theobalds will doubt that
he will make n vigilant and efficient
officer. As long as the contest lasted
the TELEGRAPH was faithfully con-
tending for principle, not men, aud
that principle is not dead nor will /,
die. That this is a white mans coun.
try and white mans government
and thai the white people have right
to select their officers, none will deny
and that principle will triumph in the
end.
i White primaries is the settled policy
of the Democratic party in this State
and it will yet he the settled policy If
Ouachita.
This was the sole issue upon which
the TELEGRAPH was fighting and i
has no regrets nor apologies to maxi
nor has it any bitter feelings to harbor
The victors can we'll afford to be mag
unanimous towards their late opponents

Sketch Of His Life,
