TWO POLITICAL PARTIES NEEDED.
The Republican Nominee for Governor Of
Louisiana Enlarges on the Theory.

The Republican Nominee for Governor of
Louisiana Enlarges on the Theory.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 8-The letter of
acceptance of A. H. Leonard, the Repub-
lican nominee for the Governorship of
Louisiana, was made public to-day. He
warns his supporters that the present
schism in the Democratic ranks is only
temporary, and that the two factions are
not parties in the proper sense Of the
word. Continuing, he says:
The relations between such parties and
freedom are so close that it is difficult to de-
termine which is the cause and which the
effect. Where the people are free opposing
political parties are invaria bly, found; where
such parties exist the people are invariably
free. 1t follows that where such parties do
not exist the people are not free. In 1887
the Democratic party took forcible posses
sion of the State government and has ever
violent and fraudulent means. The Repub-
lican party of the State, though not destroyed
(as recent events show) has been crushed,
and for oil practical purposes the Democratic
party has been, since 1877, the only political
party in the State. For Is years the
people OF Louisiana nave not had a govern
ment such as is guarauceedto themsby the
Constitution Of the United States, agovern-
ment of the people, by the people and for
the people is impossible unless the people
are divided into political parties.
Following this line of reasoning, Mr..
Leonard inveighs against the bulldozing
methods of the dominant party, appealing
for free ballot and fair count.

LOOKS BAD FOR SAM'L.
THE TESTIMONY OF A LADY WITNESS
TO GRANTS MURDER.

Other Testimony Against Actor Curtis Not
Very strong-Mamie Holden Sees the
Shooting and the Flight of the Fugitive
No Third Man Nearby.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 8.-The trial OF
M. B. Curtis, actor, for the murder OF
Policeman Grant, was resumed to-day. A
number of witnesses testified to being i'll
the vicinity at the time of the killing and
hearing shots fred, and James Creighton,
barkeeper; Joseph Denny, extra man in the
fire department, and George Hentz, COM
positor, testified to seeing man run away
from the spot where Grant was killed. The
night was dark, however, and while they
obtained general description of the fugi-
tive they stated on the witness stand to-day
that they could not positively identify Cur
tbs as the man.
One of the most important witnesses to-
day was Mamie Holden, aged IL, who lives
just across the street from where Grant was
killed. She testified that she had been
sitting up with her sister entertaining
company. She said:
l heard two men talking loudly and then
scutfling,I then heard shots and saw
flashes. One seemed to be on a level,
the second flash was pointed downward ana
the last flash was upward in the air. l lid
not notice the relative sizes of the two men.
There was no one over on that side of the
street except the two men who were scuf-
fling. One of the men ran away after the
shooting. l could not see where he fled to.
At the time of the shooting L saw some
thing bright in the hand of the man who
ran away. He was standing near the fence.
did not notice how he was dressed. saw
two officers come out of the Folsom street
station. They went after the man who was
running.
