THE ELECTION.

The election Oh the Dist of April
resulted in reduced, but safe ma
.jority for Governor Foster and the
entire State ticket, of from 1000
to $4,000.
1t is not now necessary to DIS
cuss the various causes assigned
for the large reduction in our here
tofore overwhelming majorities.
That duty will be undertaken at
some future time, when we are
confronted with the election of del
egates to "A constitutional cOnven-
ton, as we hope to be before an
other year shall have been ushered
into existence.
1t is sufficient now to state that
we have an assured Democratic
majority in both branches of tue
Legislature and that Governor
Foster will be reinaugurated upon
the day fixed by the CONSTITUTE On
and will enter upon the discharge
Of bis duties for the second time,
Notwithstanding the buster and
threats of the Pharr gang OF de

exception of Mr. L. A. Swami in

insane managers of that repudiat-

State government at Baton Rouge,
with old man Pharr as figure
head, based upon the affidavits OF
several hundred perjured villains,
better known as. the mercenary
Hcssians OF the Pinkerton Detec.
