In closing, the Governor shows that the
Republican party has already provided by
legislative action the strongest possible
guards to protect the purity OF the
ballotbox. He says:
With regard to the Commissioners Of Election.
the law passed by the last Legislature contains a
provision which has not heret3ynfe EXISTED IN
Louisiana, that each polling place shall BE pre-
sided over by three Commissioners. who shall be
selected from different political parties. ~ thns

In striking contrast with the frank,
manly and fair course of Gov. Kellogg
are the following extracts from White
League platforms and opposition news
paper editorials compiled from the New
Orleans RepuJitcan The Alto White
League adopted the following on the 18th
of July:
That We regard il the sacred and political duty
Of every member Of this club to discountenance
and socially prescribe all white men who unite
themselves with The Radical party and to sup
plant every political opponent in all his voca-
lions by The employment and support Of those
who ally themselves with the white mans party:
and We pledge Ourselves TO exert our energies

The st. Mary League, on the 18th Of
July, adopted the following:
We entor into and form this league sor the pro-
lection OF our own against the daily inerelr
ing entertainments Of the negro and are deter
mined TO our best endeavors TO purge our
Legislative, judicial aud ministerial Offices from
snch horde Of miscrcants as now assume To

That to accomplish this end We solemnly
pledge our honor 10 each other TO give our hearty
support to all that this league maY determine by
q majority OF yotes cast al any regular meeting.
and TO aid to the utmost Of our ability Ia carrying
out such measures as 1t may adopt.
The Franklin League, on the lst inst,
adopted the following:
That II II the sense Of this convention that
every member of the White League organization
IL in honor and duty bound zealously to support
and vote for each and every regular nominee Of
the organization, to the exclusion of all other
candidates or persons whatever
The st. Mary Enterprise of Aug. 0, says:
We ask for no assistance; we protest against
any intervention We own this soil OF
Louisiana, by virtue of our endeayor, az a heritage
from our ancestors, and II Is ours and ours alone.
Science literature history, art, civilization and
law belong alone 10 ~, and not to the negroes.
They have no record but barbar-m and idolatry;
nothing since the bat that of error. inca
pacity, bea-tliness, youdonism and crime. Their
right TO vote ~ but The result OF war; their exer-
else OF II monstron- imposition. and vindctive
punishment upon Us for that ill-adyised rebellion
Come what may, upon the Radical party must
rest the whole responsibility Of this conflict, and,
n sure there is just God in heaven, their I'M
natural. cold -blooded and reyengeful measures of
Ia Louisiana HiH meet With d ter
ribie retribHtOh.
The Natchitoches Vindicot0r says:
On the other hand. should you imagine .ha, the
teaching OF your former rulers is correct, and You
elect to attempt for = will only be an attempt ia
continue their rule-then you must take the CON
sequences. For tell you now, and let Ii BE-
remembered that yon have fair warn
iHg, that We intend to carry the state OF Louisiana
in November next, or she will be military ter
ritory.
The Alexandria Democrat says:
The people have determined that the Kellogg
has TO b. gotten rid of, and they will
not scrupe about the means as they have done
In the past
The Mansfield Reporter says:
There is nothing TO be gained by pleading or
concessions but everything is within our reach,
if we will move forward aud grasp it. Let our
actions be such that everybody will know what
we want. and let them see that we are n earnest
and are determined 10 carry out the programme
regardless of consequences.
The Shreveport Times says:
There has been some red-handed work done in
this parish that was necessary, but IL was eYi-
IDENTITY done by cool. determined and just men,
who knew just how far to go, and we doubt not
II the same kind of work is necessary II will be
done
We say again that we fully, cordially approve
what the white men of Grant aud Rapides aid at
Coliax; the white man who does not l. Great
nre so base that he shames the worst class Of hts
species. We say again we are going to carry the
elections in this state next fall.
If the Federal Government again strikes them
down then let the jnfamy OF the deed rest upon
the shameless despotism that has arisen out OF
the maignancy and hate of the Northern people,
beneath whose whitening influence no sentiment
OF liberty can survive. under whose policy OF
meauness, cowardice and hate every community
that does not worship it mist be tramped in the
dnst, and every civilization that does not pay
tribute TO 1t blasted BY it, curse.
Our dispatches thi. morning contain the graft.
fying intelligence that the Infamous wretch,
Deklyne, is dead OF all the low and dirt
beasts that radicaism has imposed upon Louh..
lana this scoundrel was the meanest and the
lowest.
Some squesmish people may think that, now
the fellow IL dead, he should not be abused. We
think differently; such men are a disgrace to
humanity, and, alive or dead, their 'nfamy should
be held up 10 the eXecraion OF the world, and the
hoo To an s tlSp
their memory.
There is no room for doubt that the
Bourbon Democratic White Leagues de-
sign to oppose to the fair election which
the Republican party and government OF
Louisiana offers them all the fraudulent
practices known to the desperate pur-
