OUR NEW GOVERNOR,

The election of Mr.. Sanders,
under the peculiarly trying cir
cumstances with which he had
to contend, must be a balm that
will heal all the wounds, if it
does not obliterate the scars of
the battle-the scars that are
left on the memory by injustice
and malign indifference to truth.
But it was a grand victory and
worthy of the man-such a VIC
tory as brings the pride Of
strength, a knowledge of the
confidence of the people, and
self-respect.

the interests of my Ward and Parish
where it was possible to do so, and /
was aware that l had many warm sup
porters and friends; but the overwhelm-
ing majority that was given me in the

support.

The Election.

The election in New Orleans passed
off quietly, the only disturbance being
IN the Fourth Ward where Joseph
Sciaccaluga a Sanders commissioner
was shot in the leg by Chas. G. Pra-
dos, Wilkinson watcher.
It was early in evidence that San
ders strength in New Orleans had not
been overestimated, and the cries of
fraud by the Wilkinson forces when
the big Sanders maiorities began to
come in, was generally conceded as
indicating that they had lost out.
The returns from the different par
ishes throughout the State only added
support to the claim that Sanders had
beyond doubt carried the State by a
good majority, and long before the
final returns were made even the Viii
kinson men conceded that they had
lost the battle. Following are the
returns:
Sanders majority is IA, 955. In st.
Tammany parish Sanders polled 899
and Wilkinson 708, Sanders majority
being 191.
For Lieutenant Governor, Lambre-
mont is in the lead with 80, 059; Bailey,
90, 1896; Lawrason, 1908.
For Auditor, Capdeville, is in the
lead.
Secretary of State, Michel, 47,5O7;
Hebert, $3.50.
Walter Guion is comfortably in the
lead for Attorney General.
We give below the returns in full
for this parish:
