New ORLEANS, April lQ-As reported
previously Nichols and the rest Of the
Democratic State ticket were elected by
from $1,000 to $4,000 majority. The count
in the city is progressing now. Enough is
known, however, to show almost beyond
doubt that the Young Mems Democratic
ticket has been generally successful The
president of the Young Mems Democratic
Association publishes an appeal to the peo-
rle Of the city, requesting merchants TO
send their clerks at once TO the b h.adouar-
ters of the association to assist in securing
fair count. Tue appeal says: THE ring
Is broken. Bossism is at an end. Wehave
polled the votes and good maj ority is ours
They are now trying to wear US out by de-
laying the count" Many regard this ap-
peal as an evidence of weakness, whiIe
others consider it timely precautionary
action.
News from all parts Of the State shows
that heavy vote was polled and that only
a few votes were cast for the Republicans
Nichols majority is probably more thar
SO,OOO The count in this city is very slow,
not being finished in any important ward,
but the returns continue to increase the
majority for the Young Mems ticket
