Echoes of DcmOcracy.

EchOes Of Democracy.
The Shreveport Times still keeps ND the
cry for blood, and it's voice is echoed by aIj

Regarding the Returning Board. which Is
evidently giving satisfaction to the Demo-
Gratis here. the Times said, a few days since:
II George l.. Smith is counted in over w,

Levisee and johnson, in Caddo are count.

let johnson, Tyler, Heating, Levisee and
johnson be killed, and SO let every officer,
| from Congressman down to constable. in
every district and parish of the State. be
served whom the people have defeated and
whom the Returning Board may ''count in. -

worth OF property at stake, but also the
commercial and agricultural interests of the
! State, and. above all, the supremacy of law.

the worth Of a single principle of Justice

few days later it repeats:
The Returning Board had better under
stand that we, up here will stand no
shenanigan in this matter. We all know
what the vote of Caddo is, and "by the
eternal it had better come out Just as it
was polled or there will be news from here
The Mansfield Reporter, Of Dc Soto par :
ish, says:
The people of Louisiana are now anx-
iously awaiting the action of the corrupt
Returning Board that is now trying to
fraudulently change the result of the re-
cent election in this State by counting out,
as it may serve their purpose. Many of the
Radical supervisors of registration have
been detected in changing the returns
from many of the parishes, and some of
them have been arrested and held for trial.
We know the result of the election as we'll
as the Returning Board, and if they should
dare to change the result, it behOOves the
people of Louisiana to demand. obtain and
maintain their rights. let the consequences
be what they may Our State is irretrievably
ruined it the carpet baggers continue in
power tor another two years, and we had
just as we'll sink the ship trying to maintain
ourselves. as to suffer it to rot amid
scalawag corruption. The Radicals should
be made to plainly understand that further
usurpatiOn wilt not be tolerated by the
people. and that the man that takes an
office in Louisiana against the expressed
Will OF the people, should pay the forfeit
with his life. Let this policy be universally
adopted and carried out and we predict
that as soon as the usurpers see that tho
people are in earnest we will no longer bo
troubled with them. In this parish we haye
no Radical parish officers, and have NOT had

years. and if tho Returning Board threws

day last:
A dirty scallawag sheet. published In
Plaquemine and edited by j. L. Cole, boldly
suggests to the Returning Board that t'the
Republicans have succeeded and must bs
counted in" 1t might be we'll for Judge
Cole to consider the consequences that will
surely follow the perpetration of such ras.
cality. We regret to see q man like Judge
Cole, IN whom we once had confidence
enough to believe that he would not stoop
to falsity facts, as he certainly does whera
he says "the Republicans have succeeded,~
much less to boldly and unblushingly advov
cate the counting in" OF men he we'll knows
were detected by the people. It may b.
well to remind Judge Cole that the people
OF Louisiana have submitted but once and
the last time to such vilainous rascality.
and that this time they will have what is

hang every rascally carpet baggey and ssal.
