diction made by ex-governor War
mouth, who was in Washington during
the fight over the sugar schedule in the
senate. He told ex-Speaker Reed and
Representive Dalzel. of Pennsylvania,
that if they would agree to make half
dozen protection speeches in Loulsi-
ana he would promise, that at least
three republican members would be
elected TO the house from that state.
Neither Of them made any promise In
fact, the promenent republicans, while
willing to give all men a cordial well
come 10 the republican party. are rather
disposed 70 leave these Louisiana sugar
planters TO work out their own political
salvation. They have not forgotten
the Efforts which have been made time
after time by the republican party. to
make these very sugar planters see that
their prosperity, as well as that of the
country at large, was dependent upon
the success Of the republican party, nor
the manner in which those efforts were
received. The sugar planters took all
the benefits they could get from the
republicans, and continued to work and
vote for the democrats. Now they are
getting paid for being blind 20 their
own interests, and the average republi-
can believes in letting them do their
own weeping. How the Louisiana dem
ocrats in congress take the move may
be gathered from this plain language
used by Representative Meyer the only
one Of them now in Washington; 1T
may mean that republican delegation
will be sent 10 the next house from
Louisiana. and that republican presiden-
tial electors may be chosen in 90. This
movement is no more than might have
been expected. The democratic con-
gress has dealt shamefully with the
great interest of Louisiana after repeat
eddy promising to sustain it. The
party has received strong and consis-
tent support from the state for many
years, and the first time it secures COM
plete control Of the government it pro-
ceeds to inhict upon Louisiana the hard
est blow she was ever given by legisla-
ton. We have not only been dealt un-
fairly with, but have been deceived; in
word, buncoed. Mr. Meyer is iH-
gerlng in Washington because he is
ashamed to 20 home and face his con-
stituents. The best assurance he has
been able to get from Secretary Car
Isle is, that the administration will Aill
the bill for free sugar which has already
been passed by the house.

his canvass for reelection. confessing

ceeding, and intimated, that he did not
blame the voters for being disposed to
deprive the democrats of the power they
have shown themselves incapable OF
wisely using. While Mr.. Holman voted
for all the democratic legislation during
the present congress he tried hard to
persuade the bosses not 20 permit much
Of it. He saw the ruin that would fol-

either would not or could not see. And
now he sees himself involved in the
