The ELECTION IN LOUISIANA,

The Cincinnati ENQUIRER Of the Goth inst
processes to believe that the Republican,
party will carry The State of Louisiana in the
| next election. 1t does not pretend, however,
that this result will be achieved through any
strength Or legitimate m liority OF tn 1t party,
| but through the Vaccinations, the frauds and
he privilege Of counting the votes by the
.lsurper Kellogg. Under the past condition
Of affairs and the precedent established some
time back, our contemporary would be cor
rect IN its predictions. But would inform
him that change has come over our people,
! md the olitiases that we've once committed
! with IMMUNITY will 10 longer be tolera cd
Kellogg will be forced to give US fair cleo
ion this time, he will be forced to make far
cunt and he will be forced TO recognize the
elected members. The question is 10 Longer
eft with him to decide in an arbitrary and
unjust manner. The people have resolved t.
nave: something t., ssy il this election, and fo,
Kellogg to attempt to set aside their will, When
N ressed at the ballot box, will be the mos,
dangerous task he ever undertook.
Su h fraudulent elections a. have disgraced
Louisiana in the PAST will not recur, even if it
requires ''some exttaneous method to de
troy the hideous mockcry Every one knaw,
hat Kellogg and his gang of negroes and
hieyas have 50 surrounded the registra ion o
soters by every difficult y, and have so framed
he election law Us to enable the easier t.
heat the white people out Of their rights and
leprve them of all control of the Govern
nent
These Infamous laws however, can only be
nforced by the strong arm Of the Federal
government. Kellogg and bis underlings
he metropolitan police and the negro militia,
gill be powerless to crush the uprising Of the
people, who will no longer be trampled upon
-obbed and oppressed by carpet-baggers and
negroes
We can assure the Enquirer that the Repub-
leans will not carry Louisiana in November
That question has been decided by the whit
people Of this State who have lived the last
year in such bastard Government as has been
ntlicte upon Us for the past six years The
lays of the Republican party are numbered,
md the redemption of Louisiana may now be
regarded as foregone conclusion.
The following is the extract which has
prompted The foregoing comments, to which |
we call the attention Of our readers
We think the chances arc good for the Re- |
pnblcans to carry at least one State in the Union
II the coming fail elcction-that is. Louisiana |
fhe blacks arc about equal to the whites in |
numbers, but the Republican party leaders don't |
intend to trust to that or any other cha &c. |
here Is nothing like taking measures before |
nand 80 that you ca not possibly be beaten |
elections are. generally considered, quite haz
irdons affairs. BIT they have been 50
7yrtomatizod by the usurpng Gov |
rnment of Louisiana that the game
played with loaded dice. For instance. all |!
persons who vote must be registered, and there !
Is State register and parish register to super |
intend the business. The uSnrplng Gov. kel- !
ogg appons them and they all have good sal |
aries. Whoever gets his the register |
will owe it to tho favor of these Off Gals. hose
whom they say are not voters will not be per-
nrted to vote. Ii a voter has proofs Of natural
cation that are satisfactory even to tue court,
The registers may or may + take them. From
tueir decision there j. no appeal and any
Judge who attempts to interfere may be
lined $500 and ilnpris med for six months
they are authorized to appoint horde Of con
stables to stand about AID manage the polls
their principal business beng to keep Oft their
opponents and admit Their trien 9. These Rey
sters also see to the counting, and have the Gus
tody OF the bailot-hoxes and contents. There
TO is tnere any one who does n It agree with Us
in our assertion that it impossible for the kel
IogS party to lose LOnsi ana. uni IS by
some extraneous method this hideous mock
cry OF an election is destroyed All
election held under such auspices is a traud on
It's face, and members of Congress SO chosen will
not be received by honest House of Repre-
sentatives. There lis lurpitude and yialny i'll
is law that ought t. disgust the people gener
ally, and induce them /, Vote against the party
whose leaders will Resort to sach pc ltica tnleve
