THE STATE REPUBLICAN BEYOND DOUBT
NEw-ORLEANs Nov. 1O.-Gov. Kellogg furnishes
the following statement to the Associated Press
regarding the election:
"Vcr- few official return, have been received ont
side of the city by the Secretary of State, the
proper custodian. Unofficial statements have been
received audspunishcd here Of - Republican and l3
Democratic parshc, beside, the city, - out of -,

parishes are estimated by each side and the
state j, claimed according 10 each estimate by both
sides The Democrats only claim the State by csti-

Fcliciaua, East Baton Rouge Morchousc, and
Ouachita having given them, rs they claim,
nearly 1000 majority. No one can. dispute

of and run by the White League In East
Fclicilna not a single Republican vote was
allowed to be pocd. The Republicans
were not allowed to run a ticket. This parish
is next 10 the Mississippi line, and has been turbu-
lent, more or less, since the Democrats obtained
possession Of Mississippi. In this PARISH | received
over 900 majority in 1872. and in 1874 the Rrpub-
licans carried the parish 10y more than thousand
majority. The vote claimed by the Democrats in
these parishes was procured by intimidation yio-
lcucc and assassination; and thc proof of this fact
i, overwhelming aud perfectly conclusive.
Notwithstanding the claimed vote in these par
i,hrs, we confidently believe We have carried the
state. The Democrats never claimed 10 nave car
fel the State by but about 1000 III ls|l not
counting Carroll Parish, which gave us over SEQ
majority; but where they always alleged frauds and
refused TO conccde but 900 of this majority TO us.
They admit that we have gained in the city alone
. 900 votes over the vote of 1871. They admit We
have carried Iberia, 81. Martin, Assumption, RapdeS'
Caddo Webster, and Lafourche, already heard FROM
which they carried in 1874. They admit that We have
increased our maIorities IN BosSicr Madison, Ieusas
Concordia, NatchltochcS Plaqucnlne, ana ~
Charles OF course of these are official. There
ar only about 20 parishes accessible by rail OF tee
graph and the official vote of several of the remote
parishes cannot be had for five six days. The re-
five bull-dazcd parishes, the Democrats say. Not
counting these parishes while the Republicans VIII
be deprived of legitimate majority of nearly 1000,
in no contingency can the Democrats have carried
the State
II will not be denied that with scarcely an cXccp-
tlon IN all the heretofore Republican parishes eX-
ccpt the five bull-lazcd parishes che Republicans
have gained over their majority of 1874. Neither
can il be denied that the cOlorcd people voted the
Republican ticket with. ii possible, more unanlmty
