TfnDEN and his friends nre making n
a&spcrute effort to frighten the American
people into consenting to his Inauguration

people do not scare worth n cent at the

escape the draft twelve years ago. Barking

A Political Tangle only for Blood.

At the South everything is on top and
nothing at hand. No tangle like politi-
cal tangle. A regular snarl.full of hard
nots- Gentlemen, what are yOu going to
do about it? Save the thread? Thats
economy if possible. The Southern auto
Gratis need help very much. The President
has sent them troops. They want some
thing besides troops. The people are ter
rible hungry; they cry for blood and they
wW hare blood. Nothing else under the
sun will soothe them. One would suppOse
these blood-thirsty angels of the Sunny
South would teel as if they had already
blood enough, but no The great cry is
'give us more blood" They have she'd the
blood of Republicans by thousands; but
that wont do; the more Republican blood
they get the more blood-thirsty they are.
Suppose our loving friends try Democratic
blood for while. If n sufficient supply
cannot be obtained any other wny let each
man go armed. Go to bed armed. Get up
in the msrning armed. Go to the polls
armed and when these blood-thirsty doves
come cooling around give them q taste Of n
lusty SOutherner's blood. Then If that
does not finish this bieody work, let them
send somewhere for help. for it is about
time 10 put a stop TO this blood letting.
Shame on party called Democratic, riot
ing in blood. PEACE-MAKER.

It is fortunate for the country that we
have not a BUCHANAN for President.
GRANT will not permit the organization
Of rebellion and the robbery Of nrsennls for
the Inauguration Of war; because the pco.
pie have not elected n President whose
sympathics are with rebels.

the inauguration of HAYES as President,
for all persons holding Office under Presi-

Such course would be honorable in addi,

That is to say, taking these five parishes
together there were seven colored inhabit-
ants to three whites. Taking the two Fe-
licianns which lie along the Mississippi
border, the population stood in 1870 three
colored to one white. Tho disproportion
is much greater now, as the proscriptive
policy pursued toward the colored people
in Mississippi has driven them in great
numbers across the line into Louisiana

are so many Democrats now who talk

The registration of both white and col.
ored largely increased in eacll parish over
that of 1874. The increase in the culored
vote is due to the exodus of colored per-
sons from Mississippi and Arkansas after
the Democrats had gained mastery in those
States by the shotgun policy. 1t will be
noticed that the proportion OF races re-
mains the same as in the registration re-
turns of 1871 and the census returns of
1870.
Now the Democrats act up n claim to the
following majorities in these counties ut
tha olectinn this month
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1876-12-01


This is to say, the Democratic majority
is claimed to be moro than the entire white
registration of 1874, more than the entire
Democratic vote of 1874, and within 632
of an entire white registration of the pres
entyear. And yet no one has had the hard
ihood to claim that more than half the col
ored population Of the iye parishes had
changed from the Republican to the Dem
ocratic side.
The example Of the two Feliciana par
ishes will throw strong light on the real
state Of the case. The registration in these
two parishes this year was ,4t0 white and
4,345 colored, being colored majority Of
1885, yet the Democratic claim majority
Of 2,20S, or about eight hundred more
than the entire white vote. In explana.
tionot this they assert that ouy one IIayes
ballot uas found in The ballot bores Of the hoo
parishes
These are the votes that the Democrats
want counted as actually cast" without
regard to the means by which the result
was secured, and because the returning
board is not likely TO comply with their de-
mands they are making threats of war.
This, briefly, is the cold facts upon the piv-
otal point upon which the Presidential
question is TO be decided. Should the vote
in those parishes "be counted as actually
cast" or not, is he question at issue.
