TIE EZECzION ~ THE

sf@..8 s..s.A :
As there was no Opposition made
TO the Democratic nominee, ths
adherents of that party felt safe in
abseIsing gthemselve es from the polls,
and having perfect confidence tina,
the utter decentralization Of the
Or yexAE tse.snt '.agin" element in this
sy13231sf. hey sho o&ed an excusable
1ukeGarmness and indifference to
an election, the result Of which was
foregone conclusion, at least in
this parish, owing to the complete
disorganization Of the time -honored
local combine of the Republic ans
and Populists.
s1 g AT the; precincts throughoutsthe
parish still less interest was taken,
yet they all report a majority for
the Democratic delegates and the
repsesentative delegate, Mr.. r. c.
17 Landry. The convention was car
-------xied by a large majority of the votes
cast at every box.
-At the courthouse booth, there
W1s slight difference in the vote.
The Supporters of c. B. Darrall
and the other Republicans, busted
- y s1i,1hnselves to- poll a full vote. Car
riages were driven through the
.sh streets, soliciting voters and driving
- them to the polls; that feature only
Of the old time election was
present.
e,.. Yet notwithstanding their interest, !
1.-THE result showed the convention
carried and the Democratic delegates |
elected by just about the same pro-
Portioa that the municipal candi |
( dates Of the same party received at
she last municipal election. At
shat election all parties took lively |
interest, and the recent returns
show the increasing ,trength of the
Democracy and the corresponding |
decrease in the ranks of the op
posite forces. "A casual notice by
chose who saw the votes countedt
,-,r, showed beyond the slightest doubt,
that few, if any, Populist votes were
'ss-l cast, and that he who voted against
the convention also cast his vote
for Darrall and his political friends,
With few exceptions.
1t had become a most difficult
matter to locate the average local
Peoples Partyite.I 1t was quite an
eIduous task to know who was who,
whether he be a Republican, Popu-
list, or Democrat But now, un- {
less there was a number of the
members OF the G. o. p hiding
their lights under bushels, it truly
looks as if there is a distinction with .
out difference. At least no other i
inference can be drawn from the z
results of Tuesdays election, when 6
the proportion of the Democratic
majority is the same as that which r
they had over the Peoples Party
ticket in the last municipal election. i

! MEANS.
Daily States.
The expected has happened
Mark Hanna, the personal repre-.
sentative of the great trusts and com
bines, power which many thought
full people of all political partie:
fear will some day, in desperate
attempt to take absolute possession
of the government, plunge the
country into revolution, has been
elected to the Uuited- States Senate,
and will represent Ohio in that body
for seven years.
He pulled through on the narrow
margin of two votes, after con-
test which will be memorable because
of its bitterness, and the fact that
it has divided the Republican party
INTO hostile and ,vindictive factions,
but the victory of Hanna means
the end of Hanna politically, and
it also portends disaster to the Re-
publican party in Ohio, if not il
the whole country.
This fact is made quite clear by
the statement given out last night
by Hon. Robert f. Mckisson, the
Republican mayor of Cleveland,
and the candidate for the senator
ship, upon whom the opposition
united against Hanna. Mr.. McKis-
son says:
:In the Senatorial contest just
closed, the question at issue has
been VIII ether the true principles of
the Republican party should pre-
vail or whether trusts and monopo-
lies should have their way. Mr..
Hanna succeeded simply because
he brought to his aid all the power
full influences of capitalistic greed, |
of which he is a clear representa-
tive. By reason of the interests for
which Mr.. Hanna stood, the Re-
publican members of the General

support him for the high office of
United States Senator, and unani-
nously selected me to stand as their

of their own party. They
we're, therefore, ready to support
my Republican who would be will

s'The contest was not between
parties in any sense, but between
factions, one represent I
ng plutocracy and the other the
common people. -------... .,- |:
s'Mr. Hanna has introduced into
politics policy of cor

which has reached an alarming :

'olicy is serious menace to the :
uccess and perp.tuity of the party,
nd, if continued, cannot help but

The statement of Mayor McKis- '

TO GARCIA'S CAMP.

Copyright, 1895, by The Associated Press)
Kingston, ia, April 26.-First Lieu
tenant Andrew S. Rowan of the 18th
Infantry, under orders from the war
coast somewhere west of Santiago,
probably before dawn on Monday Gu
ban guides and an open sailboat were
used. The guides have not returned.
Lieut. Rowan is on his way to the
camp. of Gen. Garcia. He will repre-
sent the war department in arranging
for the cooperation of the insurgents
in the invasion of eastern Cuba by the
forces of the United States. The time
by events and the character of Lieut..
RoWan's dispatches.
Lieut.. Rowan was detailed by the
bureau of information for this danger
Gus service-dangerou because in his
civilian dress he is liable to be treated
as a spy. He speaks Spanish and
knows Cuba, having written a book on
the subject. Moreover he is an ex-
pert map maker.
Lieut. Rowan left Washington under
instant orders, April 9. He was direct
ed to wait here. prepared to go to
Porto Rico or Cuba. AS he went to
eastern Cuba, it is inferred that blow
will be struck there before one is struck
at Porto Rico. With him he took an
official Spanish section map of Cuba
with emendatfons made by the war de-
partment photographers.
The expectation is that Cen Gracia
will dispose his forces to cover land
ing of United States troops as pre-ar-
ranged. A courier with Lieut. Rowan's
first dispatches TO the war department
will probably leave Gen. Garcia's camp
next week.

RiCHMOND AND DRESDEN FERRY.
Hearing at Richmond on Certain Changes
Desired by Many Patrons.

Richmond. Me, April tSbcciap.-
The commissioners of SaSadahoc c"uh-
ty met at Merrymeeting hall, Tuesday
forenoon, to hear parties interested III
the petition of NJ. p. Mlliken and .
others for a change in the schedule Of
ferriagcs at the Richmond and Dres-
den ferry. ana also that the ferry boats
be Iengthenod to at least six feet.
The change is asked for on the
ground that the drops are too short for
the safety Of teams when embarkinS
and leaving the boat. and change in
the schedule of ferriages is requested
so that two persons in Il single carriage
may cross for 10 cents without refer
ence to relationship.
Under the present schedule the fer
ryman has a right to inquire into your
private affairs. that is to ask whether
the lady accompanying you is your
wife or the wife OF some other man.
OF course the gallant ferryman never
puts a question in that particular form
but he comes at it in more general
way. He usually inquiries if the lady
is a member of your family, from which
if will be seen that the situation might
at any moment become little enpaf-
RAISING. To secure longer drops. how
ever. seems to have been the primary
object of the petitioners.
The petition with the order of no
tice was read by Mark Trafton the
GEORGETOWN member of the board. The
petitioners We're not represented by
JnH ad
remonstrants and moved to dismiss the
petition on the ground that the poafi
could not act without the joint actloh
of the commissioners of Llncoln
county.
Clerk of Courts Joseph Nj. Hayes of
Bath, agreed with Judge Hall, so Iar
as his motion related to the change OF
ferriages. but insisted that 1t Wouiu
be competent for the commissioners 70

lengthening the drops.
Mr.. Hayes read an agreement De
tween the commissioners of both couh-
ties. entered into in 1892, to the eHect
that the then existing rules Tor the gov
ernment of the ferry should not ne

Washington, April 26.-Conditions in
Washington are rapidly settling down
to those of actual war Notices came
to the state department from the four
quarters of the globe. today, showing
that the nations as a rule are prepared
to assume an attitude Of strict neu-
trality as between the United States
and Spain, in the present struggle.
In most cases they We're in answer to
the identical note sent out yesterday,
by the state department. to all United
States embassies and legations, in
structing them to inform the govern
ments to which they We're accredited
that war has existed since April 81.
Great Britain has always taken an ad-
vanced stand in the principles of neu-
tralitv. so that it was with great inter-
est that the news was received here Of
the terms of the neutrality proclama-
ton issued in London.
on the whole the officials are dis
posed to take the view that "a strict
adherence by Great Britain to these
rules will be rather more advantageous
to the United States than to Spain
