The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1876-10-18
OCTOBER ELECTIONS:
TILDEN THE NEXT PRESIDENT
NOW WE WILL HAVE PEACE +!

NOW WE WILL HAVE PEACE !!
The October elections in the States
of Colorado. Georgia, Ohio, Indiana
and West Virginia are over, and we
have received enough from those
States to justify us in claiming even
Ohio for Tilden and Hendricks in
November.
It must be remembered that Colo.
RADIO is a new State, made expressly
bv the Radicals to secure two new
United States Senators, and hence it
having now gone Democratic, secu-
ring us the two U, S. Senators,
we have right to boast, nay to
crow. OF course we skip glorious
Georgia, as we have not time to crow
sufficiently loud enough for her one
hundred thousand Democratic ma
jority!
Indiana, the old Hoosier State, the
fifth in the Union, the home Of our
Hendricks, has spoken in thunder
tones, and rolled up over five thou
sand majority. Radical money, the
bloody shirt, the stock in trade Of
that now dead party, right at Nor
toms home, his very door steps, has
been lavished, lavished to no use, fol
Indiana's freemen have resisted the
temptations, Rugged her "blue jeans
Williams close to her breast, and
made him her Governor. This is
indeed triumph, a great triumph
one worth recording, and we order
''our Chapman" to flap anew his
wings and give US an extra crow
Ohio, the home of Hayes, her pres
ent Governor, her choice for Presi
dent. with the consent of Radicalism,
though she gave him 1852 majority
over old "rise up" William Allen
though the "very hells' of the Radi.
cal party were belched on her soil
and official money was made to flow
like water in the great Mississippi,
she, too, has prepared to wheel in
line, has shown the first symptoms
of revolt, and has actually in the lar.
gest vote ever cast reduced the Radio
al majority to less than 5000! Surely
this is a victory, a great triumph and
knocks the last prop from under the
tottering Hayes. Slowly but sure
ly, the Ring Smasher has commenced
his work, and great work will hi
end it in.
AS for West Virginia, a State
which went heavily for Grant ir
1872, a State which every Radica
calculation claimed and counted On
she has burst out from the Gram
Ring and dances into Tilden's Re
form garden to the tune Of 10000
In fact she is Democratic all over
and along with old Virginia, comes
back home! Surely we have, caus'
now to crow, for we are out of th'
woods, we can see without our spec
that silver lining to that cloud, ant
rejoice that all is lovely and GU
good, old goose hangs high! Thes
victories are messengers Of peace Il
Louisiana: "How beautiful upon tn
mountains are the feet of Him tina
bringeth good tidings, MatpubhshetI
peacer'
ARE our home voters here, espe
cially our candidates, aware Of til
fact, the oft repeated fact, that "mon
ey makes the mare co." and withou
it she won't get out of a walk. I
fact a walk in this home race won
begin to do-not even a fast gallop-
we need a run, a good, a stead rur
and then we can win. There is n
use mincing words in this matte
and we repeat it again that financia
ly the real duty Of those to whom W
allude has been worse than crimina
and there is yet time to repair thi
grievous oversight. There is muc
said about the Committee, but
r their bankrupt fix, these howlers ha
better dry up their chin music an
stop the only existing leak with til
D needful, and then our word for
D you will hear the cane crack.
