Two Democratic State conventions

Two Democratic State conventions
were held last week at Syracuse,
New York. The " regular body adj
opted resolutions and appointed dele
gates to Cincinnati favorable to Til
den, while the Tammany or Kelly as
sembly took strong ground against
Uncle Sammy and n favor Of Sey-
mour, choosing delegates whose
views are in harmony with that posi-
ton. An effort on the part Of the
Kelicyites to harmonic the differ
ences between the contending rings of
the party resulted in failare.

A NEAR-sIGHrED STATESMAN.

Gov. Richard Hubbard Of Cnnnecti-
cut has written letter on the pOlitl-
cal situation, replying to inquiries
addressed to him by citizen Of
Shreveport, in which, he says that if
the Democratic party would
consent to refrain from laundering for
only few months, should have strong
expectations of success in the coming
election. But the past gives too little
encouragement in that direction. That
relief will come i'll the end / make no
doslbt. l am an eptimist in respect to
our country's future. Ny eyes see
through all difficulties save one; that is
Negro suffrage. The blackness OF this
darkness is beyond my range OF vision.
It would be interesting to know
Why Mr.. Hnbbard's vision is appalled,
by the perspective of a problem that
is rapidly solving itself and passing
beyond the pale Of living issues. We
can understand how the miEd III this
statesman might be disturbed ~ the
possibilities Of the untried Indian
suffrage or Chinese suffrage questions,
but his anxiety concerning the accom-
plisled fact Of Negro suffrage is not
so easy to ;comprel.ends; unless, in
deed, it he that he fears his party,
with its confessed capacity for blum
deriug, will commit the greatest
blunder Of all by seeking to revive
this issue and cnrtail the rights be-
slowed upon our lately enfranchised
fellow -citIeDs, by systematic effort
to repeal or modify the national OF
State legislation under which those
rights are exercised. The only re-
naming obstacle to the final solution
of the Negro suffrage question is the
bnlld1er," who seeks to impress
his own political views upon the col
ored citizen and compel his co-oPera-
ton therein by outrage, persecution
and intimidation; but even this bar
barous relic of the embittered past j.
becoming unpopular aud bids fail
soon to be numbered among thu
things that were. With this stun
bling block removed, the progress t
a final settlement of the difficulty tina
Mr.. Hubbard can't see through vii
be rapid, smooth and natural, ant
there will be no more occasion fo
perturbation on this point than there
is for anxiety concerning the banishet
bugbears of Authorization arM Socia
Equality with which it was erstwhil
the wont Of Democratic leaders III tn

their party into blind obedience +

| Can any one tell us why the following
clause has been left out of the qualifca-
| ton oath prescribed for officials under
! the new administration:
"That accept the civil and political
equality Of all men and agree not to at
tempt to deprive any person or persons,
on account of race or color or previous
condition, Of any political or civil right
! or privilege, or immunity enjoyed by
any other class OF men."-1eryebonne

| The clause was omitted, we pre-
sumo, because it was entirely super
fuous. The civil and political rights
of all men are recognized and guar
anteed by the constitution and laws

and every official is required to sub
scribe to the oath
| l will support the constitution and

State; that will faithfully and i'm
partially discharge all the duties incum-

there is for specifying any other par
ticular subject referred to in the 268

The roads between here and Napoleon

upon the officials of that parish in
many places they are perfectly impassa-
BILE, and more than once the boys
blessed ~ the Police Jury, road syndics

which created a little jealousy i'll the

we reached home. And, it seemed that
Providence hearkened to the prayer.
About ten miles this side of Napolenville
we came to what the boys termed the

any we had yet encountered. As we at

Do WE NEED A CHANGE.

The principal argument used by
Democrats in the present campaign
is that a change of administration
would be in the interest of the peo
pie; that the Republican administra-
tion is corrupt, ETC., etc.
Now, as a direct answer to these
various charges, we print below a
few figures taken from the official
reports of the various investigating
committees appointed by Demo
cratic Congress, for the purpose OF
ascertaining just how much money
had been stolen by the various Re
publican officers. These investiga-
tions were made at government ex.
pense, and extend over the various
administrations from George Wash
ington to President Hayes, and the
report was that there had been lost
to the United States by fraud and
mismanagement during that time the
amounts following:
Under the administration of Wash
ington, 1922 on every $1,000 of the
revenue; under John Adams, $3.50
per 1000; Thomas Jefferson, 1915
per 1000; James Madison, s4.1e per
1000; James Monroe, 1888 per 1000;
John Qeincy Adams, s4.59 per 1000;
Andrew Jackson, 1852 per $1,000
Van Bnren, $ll.71 per $1,000; Har-
rison Tyler, $e.4o per $1,000; Jas. X.
Polk, s4.os per $1,000; Tyler and
Fillmore, s419 per $1,000; Franklin
Pierce. $3.50 per $1,000; James Bu
chanan, 1881 per $1,000; Abraham
Lincoln, 7e cents per $1,000; An
drew johnson, 81 cents per $1,000
q. S. Grant, "a cents per $1,000, and
R. B. Hayes, only 80 cents on each
one million.
Figures don't lie, and these are
Democratic figures at that. Let every
voter consider this fact before casting
his vote, and then say by his ballot
that he does not desire change OF
the above showing.

GARFIELD ON THE CHINESE.

The Herald's Cleveland special
says: the following is an extract
from an interview which the city edi-
tor Of the Cleveland Leader had with
General Garfield at Mentor some
time before his nomination "What
is your opinion, General, with refer
ence to the Chinese question 2" 81
have great deal of sympathy with
the people of California and other
Pacific States in reference to this sub
ject, but it was mistake on the part
of some Congressman to confound the
immigration of the regular Chinese
to this country with the advent of
coolies, who may be brought here
under contract, and perhaps as slaves.
We have right to reject all slaves.
There are laws to prevent their i'm
portation into the United States, just
as in the old time. These laws can
be made to apply TO coolies just as
stringently, or better still, to obtain
the end in view, of preventing the
introduction of coolie labor, to the
disadvantage Of the working classes
of this country. We might make a
treaty with China by which it could
be understood that slaves or coolies
were not to be landed on our shores,
but to say that any well-behaved,
law-abiding person should be kept
away when desirous of coming of his
own free will, aside from the coolie
system, would be hard and contrary
to the intentions of our institutions.
"Will bill of the character you in
dicate be apt to pass ?" "a bill in
some modified form will be presented,
and if in the proper shape relative to
coolies, we, the Republican Congress
men, will be willing to help its pass
age, and the President and all will
concur in it: otherwise not.
