one may see almost any day either on

His speciality is helping his fallen

be a cigarette smoking boy or a rum

his passion is books.
Often one may see him, tall and

his long and carefully trimmed white
locks, standing with or sitting beside
ONE ragged inc unkempt victim of

say that the issues have been few
upon which we have differed during

OF lob, clear majority over all il
the field OF So Thus falls fat the
beating of to'htoms by the so-called
insurgents, = and a man good and
true is elected to this impor tant and
honorable position.
The election of Judge Thornton by
a vote OF nearly three to one shows
tnat there is no great opposition to
the administration. as some claim.
The critics. N seems to be provoked
mainly by the rapid turning of the
political Kaleidoscope by Gov. San-
ders, AMI is more in the nature OF
confusio'd aud surprise than of op-
position, to his acts.
Judg, Tonrnton's speech of accep-
tance is the straight forward utter
ance OF an upright man secure in his
well known integrity, and Louisiana
can safely trust her interests in his
bands. His surrender" to the Gin
terests' is regarded by our old-time
Democrats as somewhat wobbly, , but
ehere is nothing truer than 1.-THE

with the times in which we live. His
pathetic plea for sugar, rice and lum-
Der meets the vi',ws of thousands OF
our Louisiana citizens, and he is in

Is strictly a business proposition,
