New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-02-06

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1875.

the compromise ticket in St. Mary parish;
my party met with opposition from the Re
| publicans; was in Pattersonville when the
| White League was formed; the colored
| man, We were told, was to be made the
! dupe Of Republicans; We had free and
| fair election; the only intimidation heard
Of was by Republicans. who said that those
black men who voted the compromise ticket
| would be used hard: the Republicans car
ried the parish by about 1000: the parish
| ought to give 1900 to 1900 majority; in 1872
Grant and Kellogg only l23 majority. be-
| cause the vote was fraudulent)y msnipu-
lated; our compromise project fell through,
many cOlOred people have seen the folly of
their ways and are now joining hands with
the white people; white Repub blicans who
recently moved into that section are not
ostracised; the people are loyal to the fed
eral government.
To Mr.. Frye-There were co,ored men on
our ticket; Judge Mentz does not bear a
very good name; somebody shot at Sheriff
Gordy recently; the Warmoth crowd cheat
ed the Republicans ont Of 400 votes in
1872; DR.. White was the supervisor in 1879
and ran for Democratic Senator; he was
elected to the McEnery Legislature; Penn
was not q Democrat; Warmoth was Lib.
eral Republican,; Republicans did not NOM
mate Inc tor the Legislature in 1872; they
nominated me for police juror, because
there was more money in 1t; had / been
nominated by the Republicans would not
have joined the compromise party; have
heard that Pope and Chase we're killed be-
cause they were Republicans; voted for
MOncure for Treasurer and for other Dem.
ocrata: do not know what has become of
the Warm0th officeholders; DR.. White had
charge Of the 1872 election; he is in the
Democratic Legislature.
Henry Ware-I reside in Iberville par
ish; am planter; belong to no party at
present; my parish is quiet; the blacks ont
number the whites; our parish officials
have generally been ignorant; some changes
have recently been made in our parish off,
GERS, which has done no good to the Re.
publican party; the man who would de-
fraud his labOrers would be frOwned ON;
have sustained Governor Kellogg: our last
election was fair one, without intimida-
ton; George B. Loud was charged
tax collectors were defaultert; they
were Warmoth's appointees l was
never ostracised for being q Republican,
but know of some who have been; knew
but very few Democratic officers who did
not steal when in Office; know Mr.. Maxey,
and have had business with him: he and
spent considerable money by purchas-
ing gold coin. and lost largely, by the
transaction; We went into other business
and lost; his bankruptcy was caused by
such things; / believe him to be . truthful
man.
To Mr.. Frye-My parish was Republican
last election; heard that people in Shreve-
port signed an agreement to discharge
persons who voted the Republican ticket;
none Of the Kellogg tax collectors have
been defaultere
To Mr.. Marshall-One reason why the
people of Shreveport signed that agreement
to discharge men was to get rid Of certain
bad men-persons who had run the corpor-
alton in debt, and intended to make more
jobs; in manner approve of that act.
The committee adjourned at half past
eleven O'Clock last night, and will meet this
At ten O'clock
