Gire Us Your Ld,r.

The Valley of the Teche has of
late, became a great critic, and
particularly upon what may be
said of their little primary cleo
tion which proved so troublesome
and has cost a human life. The
Valley does not seem to relish the
idea that that little affair was not
legal, and not binding on any one.
The Valley says there was no COM
promise and none have been bro
ken. The evidence in court show
ed that some compromise was sub
mitted by both factions, but the
Domengeaux faction refused to
sign the written compromise they
had submitted. Our understand
ing of the primary is that there
could not be any legal election ex-
cept by compromise by both sides
of the contestants.
If the Valley, who seems to
know it all, know OF any law that
will make that election legal, let
him quote that law. We claim
that there is no law and that said
election was not held according to
any law. Now, Brother, come up
with your authority, unless you
can print the law that will give le-
gality to your election, it cannot
stand.
