New ORLEANS, November 22-l1 P. N.
SO far the Board has completed eighteen
parishes, except twenty precincts laid
aside for future deliberation on account
ofcharges OF intimidation. It singular
that noIoficial returns have been received
from fifteen parishes, although more than
half Of these returns are known to be in
the city, and have been lor weeks. The
Democrats openly charge that these par
ishss are held back Tor purposes Of fraud.
The Republicans make no defense, and
give no reason. The Democrats have
duplicate returns from all Of these par
ishes, except two, certified by the Circuit
Court, the Clerk and Supervisor, mined.
lately after the election. Any attempt at
alteration dt this late, day would, there.
fore, be detected. .r,,
The Board found, to-day, in one pre-.
cinct OF 81. James Parish, that thirty
Democratic tickets had been voted with
ONLY Eve Electors. The Board refused
to count the Electors not voted for-thus
establishing precedent which will oper-
ate against themselves In the case OF 2.
200 Hayes tickets voted inthe Fourteenth
District with only three Electors. Fur
ther along, In Lafourche Parish, II was
discovered that over four hundred Re-
publican tickets we're voted with only
Hayes and Wheeler upon them. The
Renublicans were startled by this dis
coyery, as II makes nearly three thousand
votes the several Hayes Electors will
lose by the omission. However, Kellogg
and Packard and other leading lawyers,
contend that the Board can couat them
Just the same, thus carrying out the
voters intention. The Board took the
case under consideration. " ~
A startling story Is aHoat tonight.
Heretofore we have not been able to un-
derstand why the Board did no, Gil the
existing vacancy with u Democrat, ae-
cording to the intention OF the law. Ex-
PLANTATION Is found In the story, which
freely circulates tonight, that the Repub.
licans have discovered an agreement be-
tween Casanave and Kenner and the
Democrats, TO this effect, namely: The
vacancy was to be filled by Democrat,
and Casanaye and Kenner were to act
with the Democrat in counting in the
Democratic ticket over the head OF Wells
and Anderson, who would be In the MI
nority. For this handsome service Casa.
nave and Kenner were 10 receive one
hundred thousand dollars each. The
Republicans got wind Of 1t, and to defeat
the scheme Anderson and Wells will not
agree that the vacancy be filed. II
The fact that they will not fill the Va.
cancy gives the story an air Of probabili-
", but do not vouch torit
Additional colored Democrats from up
the country were brought to the North
eren Democratic headquarters to-day.
General Garfield and JOB Stevenson were
present at the interesting interview.
These men made lengthy statements Of
deep interest. The sum OF their speeches
was that they had acted with the Repub-
lican party for eight years, and the State
was going from bad to worse and taxa
tion increasing. This additional taxa
ton the whites were taking from colored
mems wages. One was President OF color

club into the Democratic party at once.
The Northern Democrats were highly
edited by the manifestations Of repent
apce. ~.
One Of these blacks afterwards fell into
Republican hands, and being assured that
his name would not be revealed, told
iquite different story. He said they
we're all Republicans At heart, but voted
the Democratic ticket simply because
that party could protect them and the Re-
publicans could not. The Republicans
left them to contend alone with the united
white population, which they could mot
do. As he expressed it, they went into
the Democratic party for shelter, al
though the very name was hateful to
them. Butt the Democratic ranks they
found shelter and.protection, which the
Republicans could not or would not give.
| Another OF these men, who owns prop
erty and is a leader, Of his people, was to-
day offered Lucrative place in the Gus
tom House II he would charge all OF his
Democratic declarations TO intimidation,
but he would not, aa am informed. He
said he had had enough Of the Republi-
can party, which leaves It's black friends
unprotected, and would hereafter actwith
the white people. H. V. REDPIELD.
