NEGROES DID NOT VOTE
THE WHITES BATTLE ALONE AT THE
LOUISIANA POLLS.
Few Ballots Were Cast and the DEM
ocrats Won by n Plurality
Of over $4,000.

NEW ORLEANS, April 1.-THE election
to-day in Louisiana for members OF the
Legislature and a full state ticket resulted
in Democratic landslide. The ticket head
ed by w. w. Heard swept the State. and
the Legislature is overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic.
To-day's was the first election held under
the new legislation DISTINGUISHING the ne
gro, and the battle at the polls has been
almost exclusively fought out by the
whites. The total registration was $4,000.
but owing TO unprecedented weather con-
ditions only about 60 per cent. of that reg
istration was polled. Three tickets were
in the field, the Democratic. headed by w.
w. Heard, the present state auditor: the
regular Republicans, headed by e. s.
Reams, and the fusion, embracing sugar
planters, independent Democrats and Pop
ulists, headed by Don Caffery, jr.. son OF
United States Senator Gallery. The Reams
ticket, according TO the early returns. cuts
no figure in the fight, polling light vote.
The Democratic majority I'm the State viii
exceed Is 600, based on returns already in,
and may reach $4,000.
In the city of New Orleans between 1900
and 10000 votes were polled, and the Caf-
fiery ticket is beaten from 1000 10 15.O00
In Senator Caffery's district, which four
years ago went strongly Republican. the
Democrats have almost generally been
successful This is the Third congressional
district. where the sugar-plantation wealth
is concentrated and the planters were
hopeful of carrying IL for the Gallery tick
et. In central and northern Louisiana.
where the Populists were strong I'm the last
state election. the Heard ticket has been
uniformly successful. The Legislature
chosen to-day will elect successors TO Sen
ators McEnery and Caffery. The result
to-day insures the return of Senator Nc
Emery and the election OF Governor MUIR
ply j. Foster to succeed Senator Caffery.
The election was generally quiet.
The state ticket elected to-day Is as fol-
lows: Governor. w. w. Heard; lieutenant
governor, Albert Estoernal: secretary OF
state, John L. Michael; attorney general.
Walter Guyon; treasurer, w. s. Frazees
superintendent OF education, j. V. Calhoun

there was an accidental meeting OF two
of the Oldest German families in this

who was raising a family, and the
other was an old man who had his

man: How are you going to vote this
timer and the old man did not answer
promptly enough for the young man,
and the young man said TO the old
man: You can't vote for Mckinley

THE LATE WILLIAM l.. WILSON.

The untimely death of Hon. William
l.. Wilson, at Lexington, Va, yester-
day morning, will be learned with the
deepest regret not only in West Vir-
try. In almost every State he had close
friends who will deplore his demise
as personal loss, and thousands will
recognize and appreciate the fact that
the country has lost one of it's best
citizens, a careful student and deep
thinker. and a man whose solicitude
was ever for the public welfare, and
who gave much of his time to the SER
vice of his fellow citizens. He was a
gentleman and a scholar, an educator
who stood we'll amongst the foremost in
the country, and in politics, as Con-
gresham and Cabinet minister, he left
a distinct impression upon the legis-
lation of the country, and exerted a
vide and wholesome influence. He was
finished orator, always commanding
the close attention of his audiences, and
his addresses upon public questions in
many States, as well as upon the floor
of Congress, were models of the forensic
art. Although for years in anything
but robust health, and often so i'll
that his condition was plainly notice
able even to those not familiar with
him, he nevertheless performed an as
tonishing amount of work and was
ever at the post of duty. As long ago
as the occasion of the passage of the
Wilson tariff bill in Congress, its
author was a sick man, and those who
were in the hall of the House of Rep
resentatives when the measure was
adopted by that body will recall The
scene when the Representative from
the Second district OF West Virginia
was carried down the aisle to the front
of the Speakers desk upon the Shout
ders of enthusiastic friends, when the
subject of the rejoicing and the re-
cipient of unrestricted congratulations
really ought to have been in his room
and under a physicians care
From time to time Mr.. Wilson grew
better and stronger, but gains in health
and strength were but temporary, and
Of late there was a marked breaking
down, which not even a. visit to the
reviving atmosphere of the far West
could repair, and thus came the end
yesterday. West Virginia has lost one
of her most distinguished and gifted
sons.
