Only One Survivor.

The N. o. Daily States in its issue
Of the 22d of December, 1891, pub
lished the Democratic State ticket
10 the memorable political campaign
of 1855 for the mastery between the
Democratic and Knownothing or
American parties in Louisiana.
And made the statement that OF
all the men whose names are on this
ticket there was then only n sur
vivor, viz: Robert G. Wicklife.
This was an error on the part of the
States. Tn December, 1891, Charles
H. Mouton, who was candidate for
Lieutenant Governor on the same
ticket was then living in St. Martin
Vile, where he was taking q very
active part in organizing Democratic
clubs throughout the parish against
the lottery amendment; and when
the old gentleman saw the name of
Robert G. Wickliffe as the candidate
for Lieutenant Governor on the Nc
Emery ticket it panied him very
much, for the name of Robert @.
Wicklife brought to his mind re-
~minicenses of many exciting incl
