Statement by Gov kellogg.
Governor Kellogg furnishes the following
statement to the Associated Press regarding
the election: Very few official returns have
Rotary Of State, the proper custodian. Unof-
dcial statements have been received and
published here of Is republicans and l3 DEM
ocratic parishes besides the city-twenty-
eight out OF 81, which may be called tolera-
bly, reliable. The other parishes are esti.
mated by each side, and the state is claimed
according TO each as estimated by both sides.
The democrats only claim the state by esti-
mating the republican parishes Of East and
West Feliciana, East Baton Rouge, More
house and Ouachita having given them, as
No one can dispute that these parishes were
overrun and Illuminated by armed bands OF
The White League before and on the day OF
the election. These parishes have always
been largely republican. The registration
of these parishes is white, 1893; black S7O9.
They gave me 5000 majority In 1872 by the
returns OF the fusion democratic board, and
they gave the republican candidate 300 ma
Jorlty In 1874 as conceded by the democratic
state committee. In Ouachfta a deputy u.
8. marshal was killed on election day. The
poll was taken possession OF end run by
lhe White League. In East Feliciana
not single republican vote was allo we'd to
be polled. The republicans were not allowed
TO run ticket. This parish Is next to the
Mississippi line, and has been turbulent
more or less since the democrats 60: posses
sion OF Mississippi. In this parish got over
cans carried the parish by more than thou
sand majority. The vote claimed by demo
Gratis In these parishes by intimidation, vio-
renee ana assassination, and the proof OF
ibis Is oyerwhelmingly and perfectly con-
elusive. Notwithstanding the claimed vote
in these parishes, we confidently believe we
have carried the state. The democrats never
claimed to have carried that state by but
4,C00 In 1874, rot counting G Irrol parish,
which gave us over ], 800 ms jority, but where
they always allege frauds and refused to
concede but about 900 OF this majority to US.
They admit that we have gainei In this city
alone 400 votes over the vote OF 1874. They
admit we have carried Iberia, st. Martin,
Lafourche, already heard from, which they
carried In 1874. They admit that we have
increased our majorities In Boosters, Medi-
Plaquemine and st. Charles. or course,
none OF these are official. There are Only
about twenty parishes accessible by rail or
telegraph, And the official vote OF several OF
remote for 6r,a
or six days. The result will probably be
close, counting the vote in the five bull
da.ed parishes, as the democrats claim 1t
the republicans will be deprived Of q
legitimate majority OF nearly 1000.
IN no contingency can the democrats have
with scarce an exception in all the hereto
fore republican parishes except the ave bull
dazed parishes, the republicans have gained
be denied that the colored people voted the
republican ticket with, If possible, more
nnanlmity than ever before. ! have heard
ing here, drawn hither by the exigency grow
Ing out OF this election. I am glad OF this. 1
autographed TO Secretary Chandler last night
nence, who have the confidence of the coun-
Try, be sent here; such men as William M.
Evarts, e1 Governor Dix, Bristow. Senator
Stanley Matthews or such men. III the nortb
wants q true disclosure OF our affairs let
men come whose regulations will be guar
antee that they come to find the truth and
not 70 manufacture newspaper and sensa-
uonal articles against Us. The statements
OF estimated returns referred to are the votes
cast for the state ticket. The vote for HAYES
was considerably larger In some localities
than that OF the state ticket. The governor
said the democrats generally admit that
Leonard Smith and Dorrell are elected to
congress, and that the republicans have car
r1ed the legislature. He said he had jusr re-
ceived q dispatch from Smith and one other
gentleman from Shreveport that desperate
efforts are being made by the democrats in
the parishes up Red river to change or de-
stroy returns.
