BURIED HIS BRIDGES.

In our last issue we made brief
mention of the sudden victory
achieved in New Orleans by Judge
X. C. Davey over the combined for
ces of the State administration and
the City ring. Since then the press
OF the State has been loud in its con-
mendations for the Judges pluck
and determination.
The ring and the Foster element
had been working for months, and 1t
was said that Dayey was ''hands
off," But it seems that the admins
tration was attempting to knife
Davey; so at the last moment, only
few days before the primaries, he
flung himself into the thickest OF the
fight and carried his man through.
When we consider that Judge
Davey had the combined forces OF the
city ring and The State administra-
ton against him, we are bound to con-
slider the significance of the victory.
Judge Davey will now control three
votes IN the Legislature, which will
not go to Foster candidates by any
means. Another feature of his Wet
DRY is this: He is now the recog-
nized leader IN New Orleans against
Fitzpatrick, the chief boss of the
ring. This means greater part OF
the city vote for Boatner, whose
chances for election are growing
brighter all the time. A great re-
action is taking place everywhere.
The people have become disputed
at the dupliclty and hypocrIcsy of
the Governor, and the country par
ishes especially are rapidly turning
against him. In parishes where he
received his strongest supports two
years ago Mr.. Foster is to-day al
most as weak as he is in East Car
roll. Why has this change taken
place? Let the honest yeomanry OF
Louisi ana answer.
We take pleasure in endorsing
Judge Davey's course in the present
instance, chiefly because he has set
himself against the perpetuation OF
ring rule and centralized boss:sm.
There never was witnessed a more
disgraceful spectacle than the present
attempts of Mr.. Foster to perpetuate
himself in power by locking arms
with the very men against whom he
go recently stumped the State and
branded as the very scum of the peo-
pie. To-day he hugs them to his
bosom as his dearest idol, while his
more honorable and intelligent sup
porters are leaving him in disgust,
and rightly too. Consistency, thou
art jewel"
We take this opportunity of con.
graduating Judge Dayey on his VIC
tory, assuring him that the intelligent
masses of the people are with him,
and that in his endeavor to put down
ring rule and dishonor. the masses
will give him their cordial support.
