peace md order.
MrEnery, Penn and six citizens met tn
Narious propositions pas ed and failed OF ar

e'ith CIV, When il is co lsdered that the five
members now composing the returning board
IRE leading Republicans and otfice-hodcrs
under the Kellogg government. it Will be seen
that the mere placing of two Conservatives on
the board would still leave tn. board alb % =

showing gross violation of the statute and
a determination on the part Of the kellogg
party to reject every adjustment Of fair
character THAI our people may offer. and avail
themselves Of the odious registration and
election laws in the hands OF their partisans to
rob the people OF the results OF their ballots
shou they continue to participate in the
election.
1t is we'll understood that the frauds alrea DIV
practiced by double registration OF negroes in
this and other parishes renders conservative
success aim vt hopeless Abou' fifteen days
in the parish of Orleans shows
,bout 81 900 registered names, of which neat
" 1 900 are colored
1t is II well known fact tina the total negro
vote OF this parish numbers less than IL 900,
md at this rate the conservative majority OF
10, 900 in this parish woul | be entirely oblite-
ated before the close Of registration. 1t will,
'efeiore, be nee ssary that careful revis on
,f all registration to date should be had, and
he most positive guarantees OF u fair election
md hon~st count should be ecured, other
wise part cipation in this election is but de-
uslon and slmre.
