turns were shown.J The action of thesNard
in case of protests was to compare dthe
returns and tally sheets and file thenk some
returns were found to have been altered: they
we're rejected: there was no mention made

il no record of the changes made; in the
parish OF Rapides several polls were struck
out; can not remember particulars; | think
there was evidence filed in tie Rapides
parish case; can not say how many returns

Charles Provosty-i know something of
colored Conservative clubs; one such club
WAS formed by men who were disgusted
with the situation of affairs and who said
that anv change yould he for the better:
my seventh ward club had seyenty.eioht

fha ,lub was a candidate for the IagisIa
fnre on the Democratic ticlet Int he was
defeated; | was tho only white member of

leans; | organized colored Conservative
clubs: was a captain in the White League:
fhera are several colored men employed in
nv u,act, of business. and they walled on
me-. saving that they wished to form a club:
obtained room for them and made
speech TO them: nv men said that they
iaared 10 make public parade because of
Elephant JOHNNY, who had threatened
them: the fourteenth of September had
impressed these black men; told Elephant
Johnny that if he intertered with the black
Conservatives | would interfere with him;
our club room Was over a barrelhouse near
Eleuhant Johnnv's place; on The parade we
had tifty or sixtv nicgers in line: was in
H., fight of the fourteenth of September: |
believe the White Leaoues object was in
opposition to the METROPOLITAN militia; the
White I,aague nnmbers ever 5000: do not
expect the White League will parade next
Monday: in fact. | know they Will not; am
elected TO the HOuse from The sixth ward.
and intend to take NV seat: the police
seiz;ng our arms exasperated US: have
known the police to make unlawful arrests
and seen them fail to make arrests: thev
have been timid since the fourteenth of
September.
