The funeral obsequies of the late
eloquent Bishop Ryan, says the Buffalo
Courier, were the most imposing ever
held in that city. The men in line OF
march numbered IL, 1000. A notable
feature of the requiem services at the
cathedral was the space reserved for
the Protestant ministers, and all the
denominations were represented. The
bishop bad spent torty-eight years in
preaching the gospel in and about
Buffalo, and was known as a most
sanity character, ripe scholar and
thorough American. In his death,
Father T. P. O'Keefe, of this city,
loses a most intimate friend. 1t was
Bishop Ryan who consecrated him to
the priesthood at Niagara University,
N. Y, some few years ago.

"RUssELL for the presidency" will
be the slogan of the Massachusetts
democratic convention, which was
called to order in Music hall, in Bos.
ton, this afternoon. The opening adj
dress was made by Judge John w,
Corcoran, chairman of the state demo.
cratic committee, a warm friend oil
Ex-Governor Russell and whose ad-
dress, If late indications counted for
anything, marked the formal launching
of the Russell boom. Another fact
which lends color to the story OF ex-
Governor Russell's candidacy, is found
in the announcement that Mayor
Quincy, of Boston, would be among
the prominent speakers. Mayor
Quincy, it will be remembered, started
the Olney boom. His announcements
in this connection were supposed to be
inspired by the administration. The
Olney boom failed to catch on, how
ever, and Mayor Quincy last week
stated that he would support Russell
and from certain of his remarks 1t is
construed that he has Information to
the effect that the latter would make
an acceptable administration candi-

THE Albuquerque Citizen estimates
the republican majority in B~ernalillo
county at 1000, this fall. 1t may not
be SO large as this in San Miguel
county, owing to the unfair fight that
is to be waged by the opposition, but
it will be large enough to elect every
candidate on the republican ticket by a
comfortable majority.

THE CONTEST IN LOUISIANA.


The hottest, isrcest and most ex-
citing political campaign the state OF
Louisiana has seen since 1872 in which
year the elections resulted 10 five years
Of disputed state government, culmin-
ate In the state elections In progress
10 day. Furthermore. the campaign
has been unique in that 1t has been
fought out on new issues with the old
party lines almost obliterated. And
aside from the vital state Issues involv-
ed, the election assumes national sig
niicance. The result will determine
the politics OF a United States senator,
but OF greater interest still, 1t will show
which party will control the vote OF
Louisiana for president this fall, and
just as surely it will sound the death
knelI Of n of the two big parties In
Louisiana for a long time to come.
On one side, are the democrats,
presenting virtually a solid front and ar
rayed against them is the fusion ticket
supported by the national republicans
(sugar planters), the populists, the
old-time Or regular republicans and
one or two other elements In the state,
opposed to the Foster democratic
machine. This is o situation on the
| political chess board Louisiana has
never seen before, but in many re.
spects it is analogous to the situation in
South Carolina a year ago, when the
~fusionists succeeded in eiecting two
republican senators.
As is the case all over the country,
the financial question is found to be an
important factor in the campaign, and
q puzzling one in view OF the paradox
ical situation presented. The repIbli-
cans of Louisiana have time and again
declared for the yellow metal, and yet
their ticket is headed by Capt. j. N.
Pharr,a wealthy sugar planter who, be-
sides employing some 5000 negroes,
is distinguished chiefly for his pro-
nounced silver views. In this respect
the democrats are not better off. While
q large majority are for free silver,
Governor Foster, q gold-bug Of the
first water, again heads the ticket with
the result: that many extreme silver
democrats have swung over to the re-
publican column.
Notwithstanding their increasing
strength, however, and their occasions
from the democratic ranks, the chances
for the fusion ticket winning Out are
considered slim, and recent advices
would indicate that the Foster ticket,
from governor to sheriffs, backed by
the party machinery, will be success
full, though the showing of strength
made by the other side will certainly
open the eyes of those politicians who
are wont to look upon Louisiana as the
cradle Of the "solid south"
