That the people Of New Orleans,
amid the surrounding gloom and dis
tress, will neglect in a great measure
the present political campaign is
very natural. Thousands of voters
have already fed from the plague
stricken city and will not return
before the election. Perhaps thou.
sands of Others will hardly take the
trouble to turn aside from their
mechanically duties to the afflicted to
register in time. This will, of course,
work to- the injury of the Democratic
ticket. The country expects the city
to give such an overwhelming Demo
cratic majority as to overcome any
possible opposition majorities in the
negro parishes. The majority in
New Orleans will necessarily fall off
considerably. For, while the whites
may be absent in large numbers and
those that remain may be neglectful
of the duty of registration, those
who are manipulating the negro
voters, most of whom remain and a
smaller proportion of whom are at
tackled with fever, will be very apt,
as in times past, to see that this
class take out their registration pas
pers and go to the polls on election
day. In fact, we have reliable auth
GRITTY for stating that already the
colored registration in New Orleans
is nearly equal to that of the whites,
although the latter largely outnumber
the former in population.
Such being the case it behooves
the Democrats of tho country parishes
which have escaped the yellow fever
visitation, to give some attention to
the matter of registration within the
tinfe prescribed for it. No one can
vote, unless he has first been regis
tered. Local central committees, and
ward committees, should take this
matter in hand and see that there is
IL full registration and a full vote in
every parish. The success OF the
! ticket should not be endangered by
neglect of this important duty.
