The Cincinnati Commercial says;

CVVFVttTIfIt
There is a popularity about the compost
ton of the Democratic witnesses present
during the sessions of the Louisiana board
OF canvassers. that has not been sufficiently
observed aud marked. There are no old
Democrats looking on. Palmer, one of the
Conservative observers, is an exhibition
ist OF the highest flavor. lie is the man who
abolished slavery in Kentucky at the point
OF the bayonet. He il the man who arrested
conductors in kentucky because they re-
fused seats promiscuously with the whites
in the cars to colored persons, and who, by
proclamation, prohibited rebel sympathizers
from voting. His qualifications in overlook
ing a canvassing board SO as to secure fair
count for the Democrats are exceptional.
They are even superior to those of Lyman
Trunbull and George w. Julian.
