NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC OONvEN
TTON,

We trust the citizens of New Orleans will
not lose sight Of the fact that on the tenth In
slant there will be oil election for delegate
to the State convention, to be held In this cit
on the twelfth Instant, to choose delegates Il
the National Democratic Convention nj UIucin
natl In June next.
/ This is really very important election
and no man who has the welfare of the Stat,
at heart, no man who earnestly desires tht
success OF the Democratic party In the en-
suing presidential campaign, should permit
this election to go by default or to to be left
entirely In charge of the men to whom II Is
the habit of our merchants to refer sheer.
ingly az professional politicians and ward
bummers.
| In politics, as In everything else. success Ia
only achieved by hard work aud by vigilance.
and those who hope, under our system of gov
eminent. to reform abuses and to see good

submitting TO much personal Inconvenience.
are simply deludlng themselves.
If the primaries are neglected by the men
who have the greatest interests at stake In Sc
curing good government, there need be no OK
CARNATIONS OF disgust and amazement at the
results attained. II Ia to the shame of q large
body of respectable Democrats that they can
not be induced to take part in the local eau
cuses or vote in primary elections. The pri-
maries cannot safely be Ignored by good oIti-
zens. and those who fail In their plain duty
to themselves and to society In this respect
have no right even to indulge In the luxury

and bad laws are enacted
Louisiana should be represented by her
best and truest men In the national conven-
vention next June at Cincinnati. but this
cannot be hoped for unless the citizens gen
orally turn out and vote at tho election for
delegates to the State convention. Upon the
character of the delegates chosen on the
tenth instant will depend In measure the
character Of the delegation we shall send
TO represent the Democracy of Louisiana at
Cincinnati. and we do not exaggerate when
we say that never before in the history OF the
country has 1t been so essential for the Demo-
cracy to send Its abest and most trusted
men to the national convention. We cannot
afford to make any mistake In the selection
of our standard bearer this time and the
Louisiana delegation should be composed of
men wise enough to appreciate the situation
and act In concert with the best elements of
the party.

PIVOTAL STATES AND PLURALITY
VOTES.

In 1894, had Con. jackson received the full
electoral vote of New York, he would have
been elected President. 50 New York was
then the only pivotal State.
In 1885, had Mr. Van Buren, lost New York
Pennsylvania or Virginia, he could not hav,
been elected by the electoral colleges. Hte
popular majority In New York was equal tt
about one In eleven; In Pennsylvania, one IL
forty -one; in Virginia, nearly one In eight.
| In 1914 the loss of New York would have
defeated Mr.. Polk, and he only carried the
State by popular plurality over Mr.. Clay
equal to about one In ninety-three. Had New
York gone for Mr.. Clay he would have been
elected by 14t to 1874 but with New York Mr.
Clay could not have any OF the States he car
RED except Delaware, and some of his State
gave him very meagre majorties Jer-
sey 692. and Tennessee 49,
In 1Si8, the loss OF New York or Pennsvlva.
MIA would have defeated Gen. Taylor. He
carried New York by plurality, and In
Pennsylvania his plurality over Gen. Cass
was about equal to one In 11G.
In 1856, Pennsylvania was the pivotal State
and Mr.. Buchanans majority WAS 1925
though he led his principal competitor over
SO, 900 votes
In 1860. Mr.. Lincoln could have spared Penn
sylvania, but the loss of New York would
have defeated him. His majority In New
York was about equal to one in thirteen.
In 1876, the award Of the Electoral Commits
sion showed the contest Of that year to be the
closest since 1900, when there was a tie be-
tween jefferson and Burr Mr.. HAYES had
not vote to spare, and the loss Of any one Of
the States awarded him would have defeated
him. In some Of the States carried by him
his competitor pressed him closely. In Cali
fornia his majority over Tilden was equal
to about one In tfty-ive; In New Hampshire
about one In twenty-six; in Ohio about one In
eighty-seven; in Oregon about one In twenty
eight; In South Carolina about one In 100, and
In Wisconsin about one In thirty-eight.
In 1874, Mr.. Polk carried New York and Mr..
Clay carried Ohio by plurality of the pop
ular vote.
In 1s4S, Gen. Taylor carried Connecticut,
Massachusetts, New York and Vermont, and
Gen. Cass carried Illinois, Indiana, Iowa.
Maine, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin by a
plurality In each.
La 1852, Gen. Pierce carried Ohio and Gen.
Scott Massachusetts by plurality.
In 1856, Mr.. Buchanan carried California,
Illinois and New Jersey by plurality In
each; Col. Fremont had pluralities In Iowa,
Ohio and New York.
In 1860. Mr.. Lincoln had pluralities In Cali
fornia and Oregon; Douglass a plurality in
Missouri; breckenridge plurality in Della
ware, Georgia, Louisiana and Maryland, and
Bell pluralities in Kentucky, Tennessee and
Virginia.

One OF those negroes who lately exodized
from North Carolina to Shelbyville, Ind. was
the cause, yesterday, of a serious riot In that
town on the occasion Of the municipal cleo.
tion. 1t was generally charged that these
negroes were brought TO Shelhyville for
partisan purposes. The political control Of
the town is In the hands of the Democrats,
but they have very slim majority and
easily overturned. Considerable indgna-
tion was felt therefore at the importation
of negroes into the town. and the Democratic
citizens vigorously and loudly protested
against 1t. As itreaulres years residence
In Indiana to entitle one to VOTE none of
these new importations were entitled to parti-
cipate In the present election. One of the
negroes, however, did attempt to vote yester-
day, producing thereby serious election
riot in which the county treasurer was
dangerously hurt. Such Is the Northern fruit

After 81 long and exciting canvass Hon. W =.
Il. Gladstone, the leader OF the Liberal party
In England, has been elected NJ. 2. from Mid
lothian or Edinburgbshire, OVER the Earl of
Dalkeith, the son of the Duke Of Buccleugh,
one of the largest landowners of the district.
The contest has been an interesting one, not
only because 1t was known to be close, but on
account of the curious system of fagot-voting
which prevails in Midlothian and which bears
some resemblance to colonzng votes In this
country. Fagot-voting prevails in a great
many Scotch counties. In PEBBLES and Sell
kirk twenty per cent Of the voters are not
residents, but are imported: but In Midlo-
THAN this system has been carried to the
greatest excess. In order to insure the cleo
ton Of his son, the Duke of Buccleugh erect
ed q row Of fine cottages, the other day,
whose residents thereby &C quired the
right to vote. The Earl OF Roseberry,
who has been canvassing the district for
Gladstone, Immediately followed that up by
a row OF cottages for Liberal voters, and
thus the game has been kept up ever since.
The result is ludicrous. Three gentlemen,
one of them baronet, are entitled to vote on
one grass plot; lawyer votes on one-sev-
enth OF an ale-house; another lawyer on TO-
1000 OF farm; eight lawyers vote on one
house, and seventeen proprietors, among
them three sons of duke on another, while
another voter qualities on "one-seventh OF
seven ninths" of an adjacent property.
There are probably less than two thousand
persons in the district really entitled to vote
nut this fagottinR system managed to run
the list up to 2s4T, of which Gladstone sue
oeeded In getting majority of 20l, decided
Liberal gain.

ALLEN JUMEL,

we see by our country exchanges that there
Is movement on foot to send our esteemed
eilow-citizen, the present State Auditor
Allen Jumel, to Congress from the Third
Congressional District and the intention Is
one. that we, in common with large number
of his warm personal friends, would be graft
lied to see consummated.
Capt. Jumel would make a most excellent
Representative, being thoroughly identified
with our people and perfectly conversant
with their wants, while his great energy and
high character would make him one In whom
every Lousianian, might Justly feel pride
True as steel to the Democracy, he has never
faltered or failed In any of the doubt
tul and stubborn conflicts with Radi-
calism, but has borne the banner of
the party CALAMITY aloft when ad-
vancing to inevitable defeat as we'll as
when marching to assured victory. His SER
vices to and sacrifices for the party have been
numerous, and are known and appreciated by
those who have been side by side with him In
the dark hours of the past, when patriotism
and fealty to party and to principle involved
something more than mere defamation. He
has been tried in many critical and respon-
siole positions, and has always been equal to
every emergency, and In his administration
of the duties OF Auditor he has exhibited ex-
ecutive ability Of high order.
1t Is not generally known, even among the
friends of Mr.. Jumel, that he was born at
West Point, New York, but his parents COM
ing to Louisiana in his earliest infancy, he
has lived here ever since, and may be Justly
