THE TRUE SITUATION.


canvassers Of this district are directing
their fire almost exclusively against
Senator Kellogg shows beyond doubt that
he is the candidate they fear in the
pending contest. He is denounced and
abused without stint, while Judge Beat
tie, who proclaims himself stalwart
Republican,, u third termer and an adj
vocate of Capitalization" is either
ignored altogether or patted on the back
and indirectly encouraged to continue
his forlorn fight up to the close OF the
polls on election day.. Can intelligent
Republicans longer close their eyes to
the significance of this state Of affairs
Why should they dolude themselves with
the idea that Judge Beattie has any
chance Of success when it is plain that
| lie il far behind in the race and that the
Democracy is nrging him to stick in the
hope that he will draw off a sufficient
number of votes from the regular Repnb-
| licau candidate to assure Glle success OF
| Mr.. Acklen s
To such Beattie Republicans rs prefer
lie election Of the Democratic nominee
to that Of Senator Kellogg, we have
nothing to say-in holding to their sup
port of Judge Beattie they are i'll II
position Only one remove from that Of
open advocacy of Mr.. Acklen's cause !;
but to those Who arc training with the
l,oiters under sincere but mistaken idea
of fealty to Republican principles and
the support of Il genuine Republican
candidate, we point ont the error of their
attitude and warn them OF the injury
} they are unwittingly seeking to inilict
} upon their party.
: All over the district the true situation
3 is becoming apparent, ami rs Il conse-
qucnce good Republicans are leaving the
; Beattie camp and putting themselves III
line with their party Owing to local
combinations, the Beattio following il
probably stronger i'll Ascension than in
any other parish Of the district, will
perhaps the single exception OF La
fourcle, and this may tend to mislead
some Republicans here into the belief
that Judge Beattie has 4 good chance
t Of election, but that this a glazing error
J is plain to the eyes Of all who are cog
t INFANT of the real condition Of affairs
" | Al.....,..l,.,,& - ~
i Candid Democrats do not hesitate tx
G admit the patent fact that the contest i
t between Kellogg aud Acklen. Repnbli
i cans should all do likewise and govern
themselves accordingly.
