decided to nominate a full electoral
ticket, April 14th. The old commit
tee to test the Miner law in the courts
was continued. In case the full cleo

understood that the Republicans will
apply to the supreme court for a
mandamus, and in this way the valid

will be determined upon.

THE FRAUD EXPOSED.

Saturday last the Registrar of
Voters, Mr.. S. V. Martin asked of
Returning Officer A. V. Fleming,
the poll books used at the last
election, tsprepare them for the
coming election. The Returning
officer in looking for the books
learned that the poll book used at
the Patin box, in the fourth ward,
was in the box, and opened same
to get the book, and as there was
some rumor of fraud circulated at
the time of the election, as having
been committed at that poll, Mr..
Fleming the Returning officer, for
his own satisfaction, thought he
would count the votes in that box
that were cast for Rees and Gar
DENIAL, to see if he would dectect
any fraud or stufing of the box.
There were 81 votes cast in that
box and tho return of the CON-
missioners showed that Gardemal
received 8 votes and Rees SIS, but
the tickets in the box counted and
recounted by Mr.. Fleming, show
ed that that box contained 80
votes for Gardemal and 55 for
Rees.
This shows beyond the shadow
of a doubt that 80 votes cast for
Gardemal were read and counted
for Rees, which fraud gave him
the majority that elected him. If
the so votes were given to Garde-
NAL as cast, and as found in the
box, he would have been elected
by majority of II votes.
How can this fraud be explain
ed, the tickets were in the box
when said box was taken from the
vault in the clerks office, and Mr..
Fleming Offered to give US a
sworn statement as to the correct
ness of the tickets that he took
and counted from the Patin box.

task TO defend those who the Mes
sENGER accused; for the accuse
tons made by the MESSENGERS
were on sworn or written evidence,
that could not be denied simply.
1t would have been necessary to
prove that they were not truo, and
this neither the Reveille nor any

The MESSENGER will always
make it a duty to denounce and
expose any fraud or crookedness
Of any public official.
The MESSENGER would not have
undertaken the defense of Mr..
Cardinal in this matter, because
we know that Mr.. Gardemal could
do that himself, but as the Re-
veille asked why was it that we
exposed the others and did not
say a word in regard to the Gar
DENIAL matter. Our idea is to
show to the public that had Mr..
Gardemal been guilty as charged,
we would have exposed him the
same as we did the others, but we
knew the charges were groundless,
and that he was accused wrongly.

nit that the charges are ground

PLEASE EXPLAIN.

The MESSENGER has made full
and complete report of the case
which the Reycille brought against
ex-sheritf Cab. Gardemal, and we
have laid il before the public for
their judgment. We have given
tho facts of the matter, and we
are not afraid of any contradic-
ton.
The MESSENGER intended to end
this matter with the facts publish
ed in its last issue, but the peril
nence of the Reveille in its last
issue compels US to give an ex-
PLANTATION and also to ask that pa
per to explain its position.
The Reveille says I'VE had in
our first article, on the point of
controversy between us, especially
entrusted the investigation of the
whole matter to the all searching
natural proclivities of the Mes
sENGER, and to please report to it's
readers, etc. Has it done SO?
We thought not, and then gave in
our late issue, what reason we
had to differ with the MEsRENGER."
Yes, the Reveille gave some rea-
sons, but they were far froln be-
ing correct. II compared the
charges of tax sales made by ex-
sheriff L. l.. Broussard in 1889 to
the charges made by ex-sheriff
Gardomal when he made the sales
Of property belonging to the state,
under the provisions of Act so of
1883. Was this fair? was sthis
correct report? AS the Reveille
gave the figures in its report we
presume it must have taken them
from the records. Did it not see
in these records that it was do
ing an injustice to Mr.. Gardemal,
that it was accusing him of extor-
ton in Office for having charged
20 much for making Il tax sale,
when the sale it was referring to
was not tax sale, but q sale of
property belonging to the state?
Why did the Reveille make
such a report? Will the Reveille
be candid enough To explain this?
The Reveille goes further and
say: I'VE have defended no one
whatever when charges were
brought against them by the MIS-
sENGER, nor have we accused or
denounced any body and DO one
would moro chcorfully admit of
the injustice of the charges
brought against Mr.. Gardemal be-
