san. Howsvoe aapalatable, lihe facts in
general, thaY are hard TO 0hliteIste. they
arc borne out q undoubtedly correct, too,
in any examination or comparison with
those OF tho past. In point of actual fact,
in any such comparison, they are made to
appear rather favorable than otherwise to
the Democratic side of the house. In 1860,
for instance, We find the total registered
white vote to have been but S. 80. In 1870
we find it registered, as per census. at
1850. This gives Al increase for the ten
years of 5000, or very nearly three per
cent per annum. Taking the first registra-
ton OF cOlOred voters in 1867, and we find
it to have been 84,327. As per census in
1870, or three years later. it is seen as
50. 9l3 This gives, as the increase of col
ored votes in three years, 1886, or but the
merest trif1e imaginable Overcome per cent
per annum. The figures are seen, therefore,
as at least not partisan in favor OF the Re-
publicans. Moraljze as one ray, or carp
about abstract theories Of political economy
as deduced from Southern Democratic
standpoint, they meet him in the face with
an unyielding front.
A Republican majority of 1898 on total
vote should, of course, show q correspond
ing proportionate majority in the actual
vote of an election. Going back to the cleo
ton OF 1860, we ind the vote TO have stood:
For Douglas. 1925; for Breckenridge, y 6Sl
for Bell, 90 2O4; total. SO, $40. This. in total
registered vote of $3.50, shows loss IN
registered votes of $500, or very nearly ten
per cent. This, too, in probably by far the
most exciting campaign ever known in the
South. Assuming the same ratio of loss in the
campaign of 1872, the vote should stand in
the neighborhood of 60.l92 Democratic to
1921 Republican, or as showing a Republi-
can majority OF 22,529. Admitting even:
which NO one will pretend to claim, $500
blacks to have voted the Democratic ticket,
the result is a majority for the Republicans
Of l7.6a9. Reduce the white Republican
vote, it you please. to an aggregate OF $500.
all told, and let the other $500 go to swell
the vote of the opposition: beyond the linn
it's of even the most graspirg of claimants,
there is still an inetfaceable Republican
majority of 1859 on fair and honest
count. There is no lodging or evading the
issue. The figures are simply indisputable
They show beyond all cavil the actual polit-
ical cast of the body politic-''the people,
of Louisiana.
The respective claims of Kellogg vs. Nc.
Emery, az based on the election Of 1872.
while perhaps, at best, but vaguely under
stood, are readily defined. The people
elected Mr.. Kellogg; 1.-THE people" elected
| Mr.. McEnery. The question then at issue.
ut once, ia the same old, ever recurring one:
What constitutes 1.-The people," the whole
or the few! We have given the figures as
