We believe that the election of
John M. Parker and his state
ticket, with a legislative majority
to back it, would be the greatest
calamity, as far as state govern
ment is concerned, that has be-
fallen Louisiana since the days
Of reconstruction; not that we
would apprehend such great dan
ger from Mr.. Parker and his adj
ministration, but the great dan
,er would be in turning the state
rver to the Republican party and
the re-establishment Of misrule
that would follow in spite of Mr..
Parker and his supporters. OF
course we do not consider his
election as among the possibilities,
