NEWS FROM OREGON.
a telegram from competent author
Ivy ut Portland, Oregon, has just been
received, stating that that State has
gone Democratic by small majority.
This Is addressed TO u business house
here.
RADICALS NOT CHEERFUL.
For some unexplained reason the Re-
publican, Federal and State officials
are gloomy tonight, and dispatch |
received at the Custom-house created |
considerable excitement aud alarm.
A similar dispatch was received at tho |
Radical headquarters at the st. Charles |
hotel 10y one OF the prominent North |
ern Republicans, which he read to
some Others, they giving expression OF
serious alarm. This, It is stated, was
the Oregon news, hut do not know
that positively.
CONTEST NOT 10 he SETTLED HERE.
After careful survey of tho situn.
ton, and from conversation with
leading men of both parties, l am
more than ever convinced that this
contest will be settled, not here, but
IN Washington when the electoral
votes are counted. Stanley Matthews,
81 Cincinnati, and NOyes, with other
prominent Republicans of the North,
continue to advise Packard, Pitkin |
aud their side to fight IL out to the bit |
ter end, aud with the troops they will |
do it, and in the end Grant aud Hayes
will carry their point here.
DOINds IN OTHER PARISHES.
Blanchard, chairman Of tho Demo
cratic parish committee OF Caddo par
ish, says Kellogg's statement that at
tempts were being made to destroy the
election returns in upper Red river
parishes il UNANIMOUSLY false.
The manner in which the election |
was conducted In Madison parish l.
coming to light. The contest in that
parish was particularly exciting, there
being three parties in the field, the
Democrats and two wings Of the Radi.
cal party. The ballot-boxes with the
votes were carried to the court
house. This was opened in the night
time and the boxes and ballots inside
stolen by some unknown parties. AS
a consequence, the vote Of Madison is
unknown and promises to remain UNI
known. The same fate that awaited
the vote of De Soto in 1874 seems to
threaten the vote Of Madison.
In the parish of Ibelville there were
also two Radical factions, one Of which
omitted from their ticket the names
of five of the presidential electors.
Leaders of the other faction were ar.
rested, charged with fraud and intimi-
dation in fixing up this job, and to re-
taiate, faction number two had faction
number one arrested and bound over |
for appearance before the United States |
district court. As u consequence,
these five Hayes electors are in de-
ficiency OF about 400 votes in Iberville. |
In West Baton Rouge similar mis-
take was made, aud five Radical
electors, omitted from the ticket, ran
from 400 TO 700 behind the rest OF the
ticket. In consequence OF t.iis mis-
take, Kellogg, Marks and Burch, the
three Radical electors whose names
are on the ticket, are about one thou
sand ahead of the five omitted. II the
election had been closer than 1t is the
electoral college of Louisiana weuld
would have been split in two and stood
Tilden, 5; Hayes, 3. AS 1t is now the
majority for st. Martin, Poche, Seay,
Cofi and Cross, in consequence OF this
mistake, is in excess of 5000 and very
nearly 10000 over that of McEnery,
Wick!itie, De Blanc, and other Tilden
electors. The ludicrous mistake will !
cost the Radicals some thousand votes
in this State.
