1t il plain to he seen from the
R,Mer's files of thirty years ago that
the hiy fight that finally put the
Louisiana state Lottery Company out
Of business was then on. \ Ginning
from the Ouachita Telegraph Bulletin
read: THE Lottery is II Goliath in
bribery and curruption. hut the Gov
ernor is the David who will destroy It,"
Another. from the colfax Ch,pHiclc,
read: 1t IL strictly business for the
people of Louisiana to see to 1t that
this corrupting gambling institution il
completely annillilated."
1t was Goverllor Nichols who was
referred to. The Lottery was bitterly
fought ut every angle for years. and
finally the National Congress barred
ii from the ylse Of the mails Some
newspapers carrying Lottery prola.-
ganth, and paid advertising We're cir
culated through the express companies.
Finally. during 1892. we think. the old
Lottery went out Of business-just gave
up the fight and quit.
