TURNED DOWN.

The election for Constitutional Con-
vention is over. A majority of the people
have declared against a Convention and
by their action have shown that they did
not in the beginning want convention,
and that the politicians and place-hunters
who said they did, were misrepresenting
the popular will.
First and of most vital Importance, there
was a popular fear that directly or indi-
reetly the rate of taxation would be raised
by the proposed Constitutional Convention.
That fear alone, perhaps. defeated the
measure. But there were other objections
and obstacles those in favor of Conven-
ton had to contend against. Preposterous
as it is, there were some who were appre-
hensive the New Orleans delegation would
capture majority of the delegates. It
is unthinkable that the people of Louisiana
would elect men who could be controlled
by any influence other than their honest
convictions of right and their high sense
of fidelity to the people who elected them.
Yet this bugbear had its influence.

Country Parishes Vote Down Convention.

The Shreveport Times of this morning
says: With complete returns from forty
seven parishes and practically complete
returns from the remaining seventeen par
ishes in Louisiana, with the one exception
of Cameron, the Constitutional Convention
was voted down in Tuesdays election, 3d.
600 to 37,017. Orleans Parish, which the
friends of the convention depended on to
carry the proposition to victory, gave the
convention majority of Is, 800 votes, but
a smaller vote was polled in New Orleans
than had been expected, and with the
heavy majority polled against the PROPOSE
ton in the country, where the vote was
three to one against the convention, the
opposition carried the day.
The country polled light vote, but the
balioting was sufficient to spell the defeat
of the convention. With the exception of
less than a dozen parishes, little or no sup
port was offered the convention plan, and
over the State, excessive of Orleans Parish,
only 1858 voters cast their ballots in its
favor. The opposition polled %, 153 votes
outside of New Orleans. The New Orleans
vote opposing the convention was 1854
The adverse ma orities in some instances
in the country parishes went as high as
loo, and only in isolated cases was any,
thing like an even break recorded.
Madison has the distinction of being the
only parishin the fourth and fifth congress
sional districts to vote for the Constitutional
Convention. In this parish majority OF
"a was given the proposition. st. John
gave the convention majority of 109;
Orlesns, 1858; Terrebonne, 1852: Plaque
mines, 400; St. Mary, 8; st. James, Gn-
completely 70.
The vote polled in the State Tuesday was
about $4,000 and approximately O,OOC
had been counted on. In many parishes
however, reports indicated that interest
was lacking, and only from so to Is pei
cent of the voting strength was recorded
