The New Orleans Democrat., 1876-08-29
KELLOGG IN NEW YORK.

we present this evening Tor the en-
tertainment Of our readers the views
expressed by w. p. Kellogg to the New
York Herald. We agree With the Herald
that the Louisiana Governor, as a politi-
cal philosopher, Is not success, and
that his talk Is nothing more than chat
ter. It Is a little suggestive, however,
that Kellogg very plainly says that, II
the chances Of Hayes and Wheeler
shall seem good there will be no violence
and intimidation in Louisiana; but if.
on the other hand, the chances of
election shall turn In favor of Til
den and Hendricks, there will be
any amount OF terrorism The only
sensible construction of which this re-
markable utterance Is susceptible, is
that IL the Republicans find the cleo
tions going In favor of Hayes they will
quietly abide the result. but that II they
find the chances tending In favor Of
Tilden they will resort to their usual
expedients for provoking riots, that
their party may have pretexts for nulli-
flying the election In Louisiana.
The most significant expression of
Mr.. Kellogg, however, is embodied in
this paragraph. Says Kellogg:
Let a Democratic President be- in the White
House with Southern Senate In the Capitol
ana large Southern representation in tn
other house. and the lights in the Northern har-
Dors Will gradually go out and the appropria-
uons ti. i9r ra lroads and improvements will
received from the Government will wax cooler
there: but in the South cities will grow rail
roads Will be laid and the nations treasury will
be drained to build up certain OF the Southern
States.
Now for months past Mr.. Kellogg and
his party in Louisiana have been devot-
ing their energies to the work of con-
vincing our people that the advancement
OF the material interests of the South
depended entirely upon the continuation
OF the Republican party in power. and
that the accession Of the Democracy to
the control of the government would re-
suit In the utter ruin Of all our prospects. |
Every man In New Orleans remembers
we'll that this has been the burthen OF the !
RepubHcon's daily song. So persistently
has that sheet, and Mr.. Kellogg, and his
followers urged this view OF the situa-
tion that they have actually impressed |
it upon some Of the minds Of the more
stupid OF our community.
The usurper, however, sings differ |
ent song in New York. He throws off
his flimsey disguise there, and warns
the North that il they permit thu GOV
ernment to pass into the hands Of Gov.
I1lden and the Democracy, the material
interests OF the South will be looked |
after. That II Democratic admins
tration Is inaugurated at Washington.
plundering and oppression in the South
Will be stopped and the resources and
OF the country employed
In restoring commerce., building
up towns and cities, laying railroads,
constructing canals, and establishing
all sorts OF industries. What reply will
Mr.. Packard have to make on the hust-
ngs to this theory Of Democratic rule
n the South? What can the Repub-
icon say to reconcile its repeated asser-
ions, that the hope Of the material
OF the South is 10
,he Republican policy, with Mr.
|
nen OF the North that IL Tilden
8 elected the trade and industries of
he South, the railroads and cities of
he South will be fostered and built up
)y the Government. What will those
If our citizens, who, under mistaken
dea Of policy. have upheld this infa-
nous usurpation, have to say of this
Of the man they have
as their Governor to other
ections OF the Union to retain in power
! party inimical to the best interests of
Louisiana? Who can now fail to recog-
lize in Kellogg and his immediate par
isans, In Packard, Dibble and the bal
lnce OF them, the pledged enemies OF
louisiana, whose policy is to retain in
'ower party which will sustain them in
he oppression and plunder Of the tax
'ayers. merchants and .workingmen of
louisiana?
