St. Landry democrat., 1884-11-15
more passionate than on TUESDAY evening"

|
On receipt of the manifesto of
| the National Republican CONT!
| tee the Journal issued an edition and bull
| letins declaring Blaine elected. Several
| young men began to burn copies of the
| paper in the street in front of the JouY-i
| nal office, and six of them were arrested
| for violating the city ordinance forbid!
| ding bonfires. One other was arTestedI
| for resisting the offices. The Cleveland
men soon brought out q picture of their
| candidate. The Blaine men charged on
| this and tore it to pieces. Soon after a
rag baby appeared in front of the Jour~
nal Office, suspended by cord. The
Cleveland men made rush for this,
but were driven back by the
police, and the holder of
the offensive article took refuge in the!
Journal Office. The different crowds
then contented themselves with guying
one another and cheering their candi-
dates. The crowds were continually
diminishing until at eleven O'Clock the
bulletins were soon deserted. The Jour
nal, Herald, Record and Globe issued
hourly editions up to 8 p. m.
Intense Excitement in Chicago.
CHICAGO, ILL, November 6.-The exc
citement in the city has been intense, but
adherents of both parties have been emf
nently good natured and dozen times
since noon a great Republican throng in
front of the Tribune Office has cleared q
passage way for as many Democratic pa
rades. The newspaper offices have been
besieged by thousands; the hotels, and
headquarters of the State committees
have been filed to overlooking, and busi-
ness has, to a great extent, been sus-
pended. Chairman John Fl. Hoberty, of
the Democratic State Committee, was
recognized by a rough who, after giving
vent to opprobious epithets, drew
knife and was about to use it upon the
venerable chairman, when an officer ar
rived and conveyed the man to the sta
ton. Tonight thousands of Democrats
are going through the principal streets
cheering wildly for their standard
bearers.
Never Witnessed Such General Excite
ment.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November 1.-THE
police sergeants, who on Thursday make
the district reports y the Chief of Police,
agree that they have never witnessed such
general excitement among the people.
The delay in reaching a decisive result in
excitement. Men stand and SILVER in
the cold regardless of everything in their
anxiety to see the "latest bulletins.''
Bribery, Intimidation, Ballot-Box stufing
and Murder Charged:
WASHINGTON, D. c., November I'm
reply to telegram asking for informa-
ton respecting the election in Louisiana,
the following has been received in Wash
ington:
NEW ORLEANS, La, November g.
Democrats claim about GOO majority against
me. The returns from Iberia Parish were
held back to increase the vote against
me if necessary. They had two separate box
es and the counting out and stuffing in the
Congressional box were simply infamous.
Bulldozing was resorted to in both St. Mary'S
and Iberia Parishes. In the latter nearly all
our coIored leaders were killed, and our white
leaders imprisoned. Bribery, intimidation,
ballot-box stuffing and murder equaled any
thing ever before known in the history OF
this State The proof is open, palpable and
abundant.
