Politics at Shreveport.

It will be seen from the following dis
patch that politics has taken a social
turn at Shreveport, for J. Sella Martin,
one of the guests mentioned, is colored
man.:
SHREVEPORT, October "A large
meeting was held last evening under the
auspices of the German club. Addresses
were made by Governor WarmOth and
General Sheridan.
\ banquet was given tonight at the
Southern Hotel by thecitizens OfShreve-
port to the Liberaland Democratic can
didates and those c~anvassing the State
with them. Between forty and fifty
guests were present, among whom were
Hon. W. B. Egan, j. c. MOncure, 4.
Leonard, J. Sella Martin, MOsher, j. (.
Land, Alexander BOarman, j. 6. Stone,
Col. Edward Mutt and Martin Tally.
Albert Leonard presided and gave a
ed to by Governor Warmoth. TOasts
were proposed and speeches made by
Messrs. BOarman, Egan, J. Sella Martin,
and C%OlOnels Penn, H. n. Ogden and
General Sheridan, and Messrs. Leonard,
MOncure, Asher and Ford.
In response to an invitation by MEM
beers of the Board Of Trade, Governor
Warmoth addressed the merchants and
business men on the subject of railroads
this evening, at Brewers Hall. The
meeting was a large me-. The Governor
was followed by Colonel r. II. Lindsay,
| president of the Board Of Trade, and
Colonel Penn.
After the railroad meeting, Il political
meeting was organized, which Was adj
dressed by NJ. P. Ford, j. Sella Martin
and others.
LIBERAL AND DEMOCRATIC STRENGTH.
Before the fusion it was thought that
in New Orleans the Democrats were
stronger than the Liberals, but in the
country parishes the Liberals had the
greater strength, In many parishes
there is no such party as the Democrat
ic party, while there is a Liberal party
in nearly every parish. But it seems
from the elections held in New Orleans
on Friday and Saturday of last week,
to elect delegates to the Liberal and
Democratic parish conventions, that
even there the Liberals are stronger
than the Democrats. The New Orleans
Republican of the 8th inst, says:
A full computation of the votes in the
different wards of this city cast for del
| gates to the Liberal and Democratic
conventions reveals a fact alike surpris-
ing to both parties. The Liberal vote
taken on Friday reached ovcr fourteen
thousand, while the Democrats polled
something over eleven thousand. Bar
ring frauds, stuffing, etc, in which each
party are about even as to adaptness,
this vote shows that the Liberals have
a very decided and conspicuous majori-
ty in this city, Notwithstanding they
have conceded the governorship, and
will probably coneede the mayoralty,
with their vast prospective patronage,
to the Democrats. And this fact dem
onstrates that if the Liberals had insis-
ted upon IN adherence to their original
programme, and not been driven to an
abandonment of it, through fears
aroused by the noise and Dragging con-
tumacy of their Bourbonistic allies,
they would have o better show for
carrying the State than is now visible
for the fusion ticket.

THE "CHIEF" WORCESTERSHIRE
drop the Fusion State ticket from the
head of our columns this week, for rea-
sons satisfactory to ourselves, and we
hope as much so to our readers.
In the first place, while the New Or
leans papers are paid for inserting the
ticket as for embarrassment, the Chief
must do it gr~atuitOusly Or not at all. We
choose the latter alternative.
Secondly, as we intimated
article, the ticket is by no means such a
one as we desired to see chosen, and does
not represent the intent or spirit of the
National Liberal movement, which we
support. The Chiefs, asi it claimst to be,
q Liberal Republican newspaper, and
hence can not consistently lend it's I'M
divided efforts to secure the success of
candidates who standupOn a Democratic
the Democratic Central Committee.
The fact of our refusing adherence to
| the Fusion ticket as a whole, must not
be construed asimdicating that we will
support the Kellogg ticket. Our posi-
ton with regard to State and parish af-
fairs is analogous. There are men upon
both tickets whom we respect and ad-
mlre, and whose success we could labor
for cOnscientiously and heartily, and
there are also men upon both tickets
whose ~electionfwe should regard as in
dicative of no public good.
During the present political campaign
the Chief will continue its adherence tc
the cause of National Liberal Republic
anism, asrepresentedbyt Greeley and
Brown ticket, but as regards other mat,
tiers will endeavor to be an independent
journal, impartial and reliable in all
things. q AIs.ra @ss1.
Regretting that causes have ariser
which compel ustOstand upon this com
paratively neutral ground, we neVerthe,
our course is right, as it is certainly
taken in accordance with the dictates Of
