at the Polls.
NEW ORLEANS, April 20.--The election
yesterday was one Of the most important
ever held in Louisiana, the people vot-
ing for governor and other state officers
for a full legislature and for district,
parish and local officers. The citizens
of New Orleans voted in addition for
municipal officers, from mayor and
councilmen down. Three amendments
to the constitution were also voted for,
the most important of which is the
famous revenue amendment extending
the charter of the Louisiana lottery
company; another authorizes New Or
leans to fund bonds at a lower rate of in
terest, and the third authorizes police
juries to levy an additional tax for
school purposes.
Five complete, distinct state tickets
were in the field; the regular Democrat
ic ticket, with Judge McEnery for COVER
nor; the anti-lottery faction, headed by
Murphy ]. Foster; the regular Repnbli-
can ticket, headed by A. H. Leonard a
Republican ticket, headed by John
Ebreaux the Peoples party, headed by
r. l.. Tansill. The regular Democratic
nominee for mayor. John Fitzpatrick,
who is McEneryite, was opposed by
Joseph Shakespeare, the incumbent
and Fosterite.
The indications are that Fosters ma.
jority will reach 10000. He got large
negro vote in many parishes. Fitzpat-
rck's majority for mayor is estimated at
5000.' The count is not yet comp leted.

one member of the legislature. In the
sixth ward, when the voting was over,
the Fosterites sent in proposition to
the McEnery leaiers, proposing to di-
vide and count the negro vote in the
ward evenly between the two. This was
refused. When the count was finished
the Foster commissioners and clerk
refused to sign the tally sheets and
abandoned the polls. One Foster COM
missioner at this poll was arrested to-
day, and, with the other commissioners,
required to show cause why they did
not proceed with the count as required
by law. No commissioners or clerk were

Tried to Smash the Machine.

COLUMBIA. s. g., April 2O.-The old
line Republican convention which met
here yesterday, spent most of the time
in wrangles. Itwas late at night before
the committee on credentials reported,
when the wrangling was renewed. An
effort to smash the old machine was evi-
dent from the resolution, that no federal
ofhce-holder should be sent as dele
gate to the national convention. The
resolution was passed, but afterwards
withdrawn. Resolutions were adopted
endorsing President Harrison, protec.
ton and reciprocity. Adjourned till 7
a. m. after choosing delegates to the ma.

Though Robinson had promised never
again to meet Mrs. Hetherington, on
New Years eve, while driving past the
Grand hotel, he looked up at the win
dow in which Mrs. Hetherington was,
and smiled and kept smiling until his
carriage was out of sight. Lieutenant
ltetherington was in a passion over
this, and was going to horsewhip Robin
son that evening, but his friends per-
suaded him not to do go.
Robinson was shown to have pro-
posed scheme Of flight together, and
to have sent the note to Mrs. Hether-
ington's room by friend. He told the
bearer that the note asked Mrs. Hether-
ington not to send any more letters to
him.
The evidence for the defense showed
many acts on the part of Robinson tend
ing to compromise Mrs. Hetherington,
and that he had spoken sneeringly of
her to his friends and said she was fore.
ing her attentions on him. He also
showed her letters to his friends. 1t
was also shown that during this time
Robinson continued sending many let
tters to Mrs. Hetherington which she re-
fused to accept from the messengers.

Delegates Instructed to Vote as a Unit
for Cleveland.
SALINA, Kan, April 20.-The Demo
cratic state convention to elect delegates
to the national convention met this
afternoon. Governor Click will head
the delegation. Nobody is thought OF in
connection with the presidential nomi-
nation except Cleveland.
Frank Lynch, editor of the Leaven-
worth Standard, was made temporary
chairman. He made an eloq quent ad-
dress, stating that in national politics
he was for tariff reform. Lynch eulo-
gized Cleveland, and the enthusiasm
aroused by the mention of that name
was unbounded.
The temporary organization was made
permanent.
The platform adopted favors tariff re-
form and declares for tariff for revenue
only, raw materials to be admitted free
of duty. The section relative to the
financial issue is as follows: "We be-
lieye the gold basis for currency is in
sufficient, and free and unlimited inter-
change of gold and silver is demanded
by the necessities of the people, as
money and not as articles of commerce,
and we invite all nations to unite with
us in securing this end. We demand
the continued use of greenbacks as cur
rency."
The platform further urges the elec-
ton of United States senators by popu-
lar vote; favors liberal pensions, and
denounces the present administration of
the pension bureau.
On the presidential candidacy the
platform speaks with no uncertain
tones. 1t instructs the delegates to the
Chicago convention to vote as unit for
Grover Cleveland, so long as his name
is before the convention. The resolu-
tion was unanimously adopted.
Besides delegates from the congress
sional districts, delegates at large to the
Chicago convention were elected.

| iudgeship. nomination. After the first
ballot Clayton's name was withdrawn.
| Upon the announcement of the result OF
| the seventh ballot, showing ia votes
for Henderson, Mr.. Magee shouted out
protest, saying the secretary was
cheating for Henderson, and moved
that tellers be appointed. Magee's mo.
tion was put to the convention, and
although the vote appeared largely in
its favor, Chairman Martin declared it
lost.
Magee shouted that such work would
not do. Cries of "Fair play !" were
heard all over the building, and the
chair again put the question. This
time there could be no doubt that the
majority favored the motion, and tellers
were appointed.
Secretary Leach refused to longer
keep the tally sheet.
The eighth ballot resulted: Hender-
son, 120; Dean, 100; Ewing, %; Archi-
bald, 10; White, 16; Saddler, 1.
At the conclusion of the ninth ballot
several delegates changed their votes,
mostly going to Dean, for the reason that
Ewing's front had been broken in favor
of Dean under the lead of Magee. The
Philadelphians, who had been for Hen
derson, protested against any changes.
Secretary Leach was working hard for
Henderson. Finally the voice of Magee
was heard above the noise, shouting,
''Take Leach away from the tellers he's
not member OF the convention! |"
Cries of 'Put Leach out! Throw him
out!" and yells of all sorts followed,
and stopped the work of the convention
for time.
The chairman put an end to the bad
feeling by announcing that the tellers
were unable to agree, and that another
ballot would be taken.
This resulted: Dean, 1856; Henderson,
1877; Ewing, z; Saddler, l, Dean lack
ing just one of the number necessary to
elect. Mr.. Rea, who named Henderson,
then withdrew him, and the nomination
of Dean was made unanimous with
hurrah, bringing to close one of the
most exciting contests for a judicial
nomination ever witnessed in conven-
tion in Pennsylvania.
Major Mcdowell and VIM. Lilley were
nominated for at-large.
Delegates to the national convention
were also selected and the convention
adjourned.
