THE CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS.

multiply which indicate the election Of
Senator Kellogg to Congress from this
district, and this result, confidently an-
ticipatcd by tho supporters of the regu-
lar Republican nominee, is also regarded
inevitable by many advocates of Mr..
Ackien and Judge Beattie.
The great success which las attended
the Kellogg canvass IN the western par
isles Of tire district is attested by Mr..
Acklen himself, who informed II reporter
Of the New Orleans Stdtes a few days ago
that the speeches Of Senator Kellogg
"llaye arrayea the Negroes slqost solid
" for him" Natprsifys, - Acklen
claims that the whites 4re about as sol
idly arraycd under the burner of the
Democratic candidate, but there is ample
evidence Of contrary state Of affairs,
The Lafayette advertiser, IL Democratic
paper, Judging the condition of the dis
trict from that Of it's own parish, thinks
that tho mass Of Republicans will vote
for Kellogg, few Republicans and u
few Democrats will vote for Bc:.ttic, the
mass OF Democrats will stay ut home, q
minority will vote for Nr. Acklen, and
Kellogg will be elected.
| The Lake Charles Echo declares that
there is no one who bcttcr knows and
realizes the utter hopelessncss OF his
course than does Judge Beattie himself.
The writer is no prophet. nor the son Of
one, but mark the prediction, that Beat
tie will not receive ono thousand col
ored votes in the entire district"
The Kellogg meetings all through the
district have been large aud enthusiastic,
while those Of the Brattiv faction were
comparatively insignificant and in some
Instances complete failures. In every
parish there is an evident spirit d
decentralization among the Republican
boilers and they are coming over to thu
support Of the regular nominee III con
slant and daily increasing stream. The
Bayou BGuf Republican club, in st
