There was a great victory for the peo-
pie last night at Baton Rouge. The rep
resentatives of the honest Democratic
majority of Louisiana found the oppor-
tunity to rebuke one of the most daring
and outrageous political frauds that
ever disgraced the history of the State,
and they did their duty with COM
pletcness and vim that gives an ear
nest of what Returning Board John s.
Young may always expect whenever
he shall come before the unterrified and
/ honest Democracy asking for favors.
| The Democratic legislative caucus
decisively rejected Young's application
to be elected a Circuit Judge, and
chose in his stead that upright Demo-
crat, Hon. E. w. sutherlin, whom
Young's shameful ruling cheated out of
the Attorney Generalship.

and in the stern justice now meted out,
the administration, which was endeav
oring to thus pay off it's Returning
Board benefactor, shares IN the stigma

place for Young.
