Contemporaneous with the arrival

If there was any doubt in the minds
OF the people as to who controls the
New Orleans vote, it should be thor
oughly dlspelled after a brief study OF
the recent vote on the constitutional
amendments. There were fifteen OF
these amendments submitted to the
people for their ratification or rejec-
ton. In the country parish s, where
the electorate is unhampered by the
i'ring" and uncontrolled by the po-
litical bosses, seven Of the fifteen
amendments failed to receive a major
itY, while eight were ratified. On the
other hand, in the CITY of New Orle-
ans, where the Sanders and the "ring'
influences prevail, there was prac.
.tical unanimity in the vote, on all the
amendments. There was approx
mately 10000 votes cast for the amend
ments in New Orleans, OF which ap-
proximately II, 500 were cast for the
amendments and $500 against them.
Such a uniformity in favor of these
amendments might be accounted for,
if the proposed amendments had effect
the CITY itself, in each instance, but
this is not the case, as many Of them
are not applicable to the City of New
Orleans, at all, but apply exclusively
to the country parishes. Yet we find
that it mattered not to the New Orle.
ans voter, whether the proposed legis.
lation effected his city Or applied tc
she country districts, the vote was
practically the same. 1t is a well
known fact that practically all these
amendments were pet administration
schemes, and the question natural,
arises: what influence kept the 10000
new Orleans voters so cloCely in line
while the 1880 country voters varied
their vote from l6,478 votes for anC
