New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-11-03
TODAY,

The city Of New Orleans to-day presents
a sad spectacle. 1t is the day of a great
election; day when silent ballots are to
determine nations fate. And yet in the
face of the imminent need that every good
man and true should aid the right on this
day of contest, thousands are quietly at
their homes.
In the face of the fact that there exists
in this State registered Republican ma
jority OF more than fifteen thousand, doubt
less the Democracy will poll majority of
thirty thousand. The polling places are
thronged to day, but only with Democrats.
The vast body of the Republicans of
the State, while they know their rights, feel
that it is not always wise to insist on those
rights. The privilege of exercising the
elective franchise is precious one, but
life is dearer still. They know that from
the great accident who sits to-day in the
Presidential chair, clear down through all
the executors of law and conservators of
peace, no one of them unites the power
and the will to protect them from violence
and murder on this day.
The reign of terror and mob violence
which has terrified even the instigators of
the storm has done too well its work. The
intelligence, the organization, the equip
ment was largely with the Democracy; and
In case OF collision there was little ques-
ton which would go down. The Repub-
licans, therefore, as we deem, wisely con-
clude not to furnish material for another
" negro riot in New Orleans.
If the barren fruits of this singular vic
tory are of value, let the Democracy to-
hight congratulate themselves and hold
unalloyed revel.
