At a political meeting in

el Mel0of, Of New Orleans, gave
the following version Of the origin
of the word "bulldoze:" Five
years ago certain parishes on Red
River had gone strongly Demo
cratic, giving such a majority that
the Republicans in New Orleans
found it impossible, If these re-
tnrns were allowed to come in, tO
alter the returns which they had
Sufficiently to carry the State
without making the fraud too an
parent. These returns were In
the hands OF a planterb by the name
of Bnll, who was expected to ar
rive in the course of a week
The Republican leaders IN New
Orleans secured the pardon Off
grandnephew ofMonroe Edwards
the great forg'-r, who was known
to he an expert counterfeiter. he,
with three others, dressed as
planters, met Bull on his way to
the city, get him intoxicated, stole
the returns, which were changed
and the writing counterfeited by
Edwards. The fraud was not dis
covered until the returns were
