The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1889-09-11
Result in the Third District,


Mr.. Price, Democrat, has been cleo
ted in the Third District to Congress.
As We remarked some days ago, the
election was simply an official an
nouncement of the choice of major
ity of the people of the District known
weeks ago. The only question to be
settled.is the numerical strength of the
majority. 1t is certainly over six
thousand, but how much more is not
yet ascertained.
This has been the greatest victory
ever gained by the Democrats in that
District; and it was gained without
the corrupt use Of money and without
intimidation or violence, against cor
ruption, Federal interference and the
most scandalous prostitution of the
civil service.
1t was matter of the greatest i'm
portance to the Republican party to
secure this seat in the House, and all
tho available power of the Admins
rration and of the Republican National
Committee were employed to secure
Mr.. Minors election, but in vain. The
Democracy of the district were aroused
to an enthusiasm seldom exhibited in
an election in these days, and they
voted their full strength, while hun
dreds of citizens of the district, who
had for years been contaminated by
Republican proclivities, joined them
and made the victory more complete.
i The enthusiasm of the campaign on
the Democratic side and the trium-
plant election of Mr.. Price are easily
explained. In the first place, the
! Protectionists or Republicans in Con
gress, through the Senate tariff bill
. had singled out and attempted tc
strike down two of the special indus
tries of Louisiana-sugar and rice; ii
! the second place, the appointment o.
3 Warmoth as Collector and of Patty
as Naval Officer of this port were re
i garded, the first as an endorsement by
!, the Administration and Republican
: party Of the Infamous carpet.bag err
f and indicative Of purpose to re-es
}, tablish it in Louisiana, and the sec
ond as a move to mass the negroe
of the Third District against tn
4 whites; and finally, the fragrant at
tempt Of the President to interfere il
and control local election in thi
State, aroused in the breasts of tn
people storm of resentment and in
:, dignation and stirred them to a su
IS preme and magnificent effort to main
r tain their right Of election and tn
! great American principle Of represen
# tation of the people in government.
$, The result of the election in tn
n Third District of Louisiana was, con
. sideriug the peculiar interest of tn
y District, a magnificent victory for tn
r great cause of revenue reform; an ar
q nouncement to the world that this is
white mans government, and sting
ing rebuke to the Federal Admins
y, y tration, whose interference with on
local affairs TINS net with the cor
is domination and contempt it deserved
q We congratulate the real Demot
