land eau tell what vital measure HAYES would
veto, what he would do to threaten the In
toerity Of our institutions, to hubyert the
Constitution, to destroy our liberties, or to
bring any calamity upon the country or any
part Of It. Not III. oil tho land can any man
tell from what peril the country or any part

Deca,lse the American people understand

TINT there will be no "wah," but that the

VALUABLE DEMocRAT1o TESTIMONY.

VALUABLE u6mNlnhAAN 4EsokA64VH
Tive Democratic wing Of the Congressional
Committees now investigating the Louisiana
election accidentally ran against very ugly
stump III their effort to show that Republic
ans linyo been bulldozing Democrats, and
Tint tho Democrata conducted tho election
iu penceful md legnl manner. Every now
aud then they encounter witness WHO has
not been properly coached, and who there
fore speaks right out in meeting. One Of
this clnsa, tcstifying before the House {Denl-
ocratic) Committee, produced the following
extract from Democratic newspaper printed
In atorehouso County, which gave the fol-
lowing counsel to Democrats Just previous
to the election:
The Radicals arc making desperate efforts to or
gnnize In tho parish. Democrats. now Ia the time
to make your dcspcratc stsngylc. do to every
meeting they mar attempt to hold; break thom up,
Hunt every night meeting. DO not lei them have

The paper above alluded to Is the More
house Clarion, tho leading Democratic paper
In TINT part Of Louisiana. On tho 1otl Of
June last 1t printed a communication in
large type, signed "Junius," tho following
extract from which will illustrate its general
spirit:

| Two weeks aftcrward there appeared In
the editorial columns OF the samo paper tho
first extract which we have printed above.
This is Demooratic testimony Is to whether
intimidation was practiced in Louisiana by
Democrats. 4 reference to the testimony
taken boforo tho Senate Committee confirms
tue Democratic evidence, Republican meet
ings were broken up by the bnl1dozera fol

over the county threatening negroes, In some
Instances killing, In othors beatng aud
wounding them. Prominent white Ropub-
