"Ifthe Democratic party be responsible for
an impending war n races In the South, Il do
serves to be destroyed forever to be tfampled oui
Of existence as the author Of the direct poksible
calamity that could befall any people. II II can
be shown that the Democratic party has made
we do mt say frantic efforts, but any effort
whatsoever to widen the gaping breach be
tween the white people aud the negroes Of the
SOnth, then we will concele that the Democrat
10 party is M lenger worthy Of public conf
dence or OF popular support. "-Nse York
World.
Assuming the views taken by tho New York
World to be correct-i. elf the Democratic
party is responsible for the terrorism that pre-
walls 10 the Southern States, that party de-
serves to be destroyed, forever. We make few
extracts showing the position and views Of the
Southern Democratic Press upon the subject;
f" Let II be known, now and forever" says
the Natchitoches, la, Vindicator, August ~,
"that the white people are going to take charge
of this State. bet II be known that we are at
ter two sets NJ men the corrupt and ignorant,
to keep them ont " office the honest AMI COM
petent, to put them in. This Is the aim, the
sole purpose, of the White League"
The al honest and competent" are the insti-
gators aud indorsers Of the recent murder NJ
six ofBcc-holders In Coushatte, and that is the
way the rotation in Office is to be effected. The
"honest and competent 4" consider II m re expe-
ditous than the ballot-box and formal elections.
The same paper in an ther editorial makes
the following declaration
eve do no. intend to be inisrfered with By any
one residing here or elsewhere ds 10 he manner o.
conducting political cumpriga. oRd nj Kidding
S1te of the niscrednt scoHHdreis ,ohO h"re been
frt,ening already too tong on &s peoples iif,
Hood."
And again
"The white mans party is determined to res.
cue Louisiana from the pollutng embraces oI
such hybrid pnck Of lrcherous pimps as kel-
logg. Packard, Darrell, Pinchback. Dibble. Ca.
sey,,Dubuclet and their followers, wLn were con-
ceived in sin, brought forth in phlluton, nursed
BY filthy harpies, and drupped in Louisiana, tC
show the world to what depth ot corruption
| disgrace, and nfAmy human nature can sio"p.'
The hypocrisy Of the members Of the Dem.
oeratic White Leagues is as braz 'n-faced as Tho
attempt to fix their murderous acts upon the
colnred race. The Baton Rouge, La. Daily
Adrocot-, Democrntcl August "a, says:
The feagers most emphatic DENY that
! they wish to Interfere with the political privi
leges of the black man, and every act OF theirs Ia
this parish shows this tO be an indispuiable fact
ana stamps all contrary assertion 10 De luuiS'
! pntably false, M matter from what source the
assertions c,me. Any assertion that white
merchants 'sh TO oppress the negro or mferfer'
piik his priraeyes of franek;'e is too Transparent
a Talsehond for the real object thereof n.i to b,
/ seen by men Of sense.
This declaration loses its force when read il
connection with the following from the sam,
paper, under the head Of "Preameable aul Res
! olu,ions Adopted by the White League M.
Of the Second Ward Of Livingston Parish:"
Re.oic,d. That we will have no man IN ou
farms or in our woIksho,'s who votes the Rad
ical ticket.
BE Il further resoisei. That we consider
the duty IL (and curdaily invite) all whit
men OppUssl to Il R,dicalism to Cooperate witt
| us.
Further resoIceI, That we pledge our sup
port to the Democratic party.
The audacily of the White League press /
sug gestive Of deliberate determination to fol
low up the policy Of murder until their bas
purpose OF driving every Republican from til
polls has been accomplished. Mark the follow
ing from the Shreveport, La, Tinle'. referring {
the murder OF poor old defenssless negro
"There has been some red banded work don
In this parish that was necessary, Tut 10 wa
evidently done by cool, determined, and jus
men, who know just how far To 60, and "
doubt not il the same kind of work was neces
sary it will be done again.
