The construction now nut l1pon the cleo
ton laws by Governor KELLOGG and his
party puts a different phase on the situation
and adds to the complications. Governor
Kellogg says he is delighted that many pro-
minent Democrats or the North are. here.
that: they will now have AZ, onnort1,nitv tn
see for themselves e yilIainies .of, fine white
people here.U He has telegraphed asking
that Messrs. Hoar and FRYE shall come.
The Governor said he did not want any
more William Walter Phelpses to come
|. that Phelps was very nice young man, who
parted his hair in the middle THAT when
he was here he was surrounded by the
White Leaguers, and II niger appeared
to testify he was kicked down stairs. He
thinks Pinchback will come around all right
to the support OF Packard. I said to him
that l was ln1ormea by the Democratic COM
mlttee that not one single case OF violence
occurred at the polls in the whole State on
the day OF election. he admitted that this
might possibly be the case, but that all the
intimidatlons had taken place beforehand.
Just ut this point coiored gentleman
from the interior was ushered In with
load OF intimidation a1ndaYlts: the Gov
ernor looked at them ana sald, "Ihats
right; bring along your atndaYits we VIII
give them enough OF tnem. we want Gne
people OF the NORTH sad ne, 10 see tnis
thing for themselves. Ihlngs are Dad enough
with both parties here. admit, but II they
get at the facts they will see that all the ras.
| cality IS very lar from DelnS on our siae.
Here the. Governor became quite; excited,
and let OF Volley OF oatns Ut tne duPncl-
ty, faisehood, and treachery OF the Wnlte
people OF New Orleans.
| Governor heiloSS then gave me all az
count OF the intimidation alleged TO pc prac-
ticed upon the negroes before the election.
I asked him il he had any white testimony
to substantiate the charges. He replied
that in some instances they had. The Dem
ocrats had also attempted to buy up the ne
groes standing around the polls with new
silver hali-d0llars, which the negroes think
are very big thing; but even this. game
did not work, and the negroes were allowed
to vote the Republican ticket. I said,
"Why, Governor, the Democrats tell me
that q great many negroes voted with
Them" Bringing his fist down on the table
he said, 81 will bet any OF them $4,000 that
they did not get twenty-five negro votes IN
the whole State. General Nichols Demo
cratic candidate for Goyernor) IS gentle
man, but he could not even control the ne
| groes on his own plantation and In his own
PARISH and the surrounding parishes. We
have increased the Republican vote i'm
,mensely over the vote OF 1874, We have
also carried several parishes which hereto
fore have always been carried by the Demo-
Gratis" .'.ts a.. .-- las.
| Concerning the question OF the troops,
! Mr.. Kellogg said that he had applied to the
President for troops under the circular
order OF Attorney General Taft. He ap-
peared to feel in very happy condition
over the presenceof the military, of whom
there are sixteen companies in the city.
I assumed from the whole tenor OF Mr.
Keilogg's remarks that he has to-day re-
ceived such assurances as'to justify him IN
the belief that the President will place the
troops at his absolute disposal.
