CHAPTER FIRST.
New ORLEANS, November lS-Re
ports of official returns, signed by
commissioners and supervisors show /.
clear majority for Tiiden and Hen
bricks of 1851.
THE DooTERING CONTEMPLATED BY
THE RELIGIOUS AND rAcKAaDs.
A special TO the ST. Louis Republican
dated New Orleans, the 18th instant,
says: Facts developed during the night
and to,day confirm nay antieipatious
relative to the Radical plot to secure
the State by the fraudulent counting
OF votes aud statling the boxes. Even
now the leaders claim II mistake oil
/ 600 against them by their own count
of the vote OF Caddo ia the Shreveport
parish, and will stuff enough votes
into thst box, as they have perhaps
already done, to reduce Tilden's ma>
jority that much before the returning
board. Ii il known that several deputy
marshals aud three or four detectives
left GU the steamer Sherlock yesterday
for the Baton Rouge and Feiiciana
tomhouse emisssries, and have with
them thousands of blank atiidavits
with which To manufacture false
charges of fraud aud of P,imidation,
similar to that exposed by the Senate
com mittee in 1878, when it was proven
by their own witnesses, during the
Misunderstanding contest, that over
twenty thousand such aiiidavits had
been prepared and forged.
INFAMOUS PLAN OF The RADIO AIS.
Their plan now is this: Thousands
of afiiiavits are prepared in the Gus.
tom-h0ust aud sworn to by bribed aud
perjnred negroes in the parishes, or
forged. are to be brought forward be-
fore the returning board, holding its
sessions under the shadow of United
States bayouets, and addueed as evil
dence OF intimidation in the parishes
The next act in the programme is To
be- the throwing out OF Democratic ma
jorities in the five parishes named.
This will reduce the total majority
to five Thousand.
MANlPULATION OF CITY RETURNS,
The city returns are being manipu-
lated by Radical commissioners and
SUPERVISORS, and when presented to the
returning board, they will bear plain
evidence of having been tempered
with aud perverted. Else. why is it
that statements OF Radical commits
.ioners of election are being withheld,
aud not filed with the secretary OF
state. 1t is known that In the ease OF
certain wards. particularly the eleventh
the supervisors are preparing protests
against the counting of the vote cast
at the Democratic polls on the plea of
intimidation, even after the Radical
commissioner of election had certified
to the fairness of the election held at
his poll. So the Democratic MAORI
ties al the polls here and there are to
be cast out until u legitimate majority
of over nine Thousand votes is 10 be-
wiped out of existence.
THE VOTE IN THE CITY.
The Democratic tally lists of tie
city, completed this morning, show
Tiiden's, vote 1890; Hayes, 1871;
filden's majority, laoi6: Nichols, 25,-
o76; Packard, 1864; which makes the
majority OF Nichols in the State, $50.
and the majority for Tilden certainly
over 1900.
MAJORITY IL THE STATE.
A liberal estimate of the Republican
vote, and the five parishes to be
thrown out shows from data received
to-day, the Democratic majority In
the State between niue and ten thou
sand votes The returns will not vary
materially from the estimate. This
majority the
RADICAL ct NsPIRAToRs ARE PLOTTING
To falsify before the nation and, per
haps, thereby perpetuate Grant in
power through the sweeping away of
these five thousand votes. 1t is no.
table fact that the Democrats parishes
against which the ring have declared
war are not til. same which were de
frauded in 1874. but there is no know
ing where the perjury may stop. ri
perjury and fraud will avail TO over
come clear majority of from nine to
ten thousand votes in . State. where

thousand citizens at its discretion, VIII,
may 1t not throw out every Democratic
vote in State il il chooses?
