The Law for the Ringsters.

The Supreme Co urt of Louisi-
ana is reported to never decide any
case against the ring, we have
heard this assertion so often that
we begin to believe there is some
truth in it. In all our political
trouble here the aggrieved persons
always said it was useless to con-
test as all election contests would
always be favorable to those of the
ring and the machine. This has
been the case, we believe in every
case that went to the Supreme
Court lately.
The Republicans who had fa-
vorable decision some time ago, by
the District Court were knocked
out by the Supreme Court; the in
dependent movement in New Or
leans was knocked out by the Su-
preme Court, the Bailey contest
was knocked out by the Supreme
Court, and lately the Leblanc con-
test was knocked out by the Su-
preme Court, aud it looks as
if all the other con- Q t
against our ring rule Democracy
will meet with the same fate.
The decision in the Schwing-
Leblanc case was given by JUS
tice Nichols concurred in by JUS
tees Land and Provosty, Chief
Justice Breaux and Justice
Monroe dissenting.
The decision of the Supreme
Court is in favor of Schwing in
this that the Secretary of State
will place his name of the official
ballot and not the name of LIE.
Blanc, Schwing will be elected,
commissioned and that will be the
end of it all.
Our Democratic laws are made
for the ring.
