All Buildoztug Surpassed in Louisiana

WASHINGTON, November Elm
reply to a telegram asking for infor-
nation respecting the election in
Louisiana. the following has been re-
ceived in Washington:
New ORLEANS. November 6.-The
Democrats claim about 600 majority
against me. The returns from Iber-
ia parish were held back to increase
the vote against me, if necessary.
They had two separate boxes, and
the counting out and stuffing in the
Congressional box were simply infa-
nous. Bull-dozing was restored to
in both st. Marys and Iberia parishes
In the latter nearly all our colored
leaders were killed aud our white
leaders impriso ned. Bribery, int
midation, ballot-box stufiing and
murder equalled anything ever
before known in the history of this
State. The proof is open, palpable
and abundant. w. PrTT KELLOGG.

We feel entirely confident thai

We feel entirely confident that
Mr.. Blaine is elected. We believe
this, because both the Republican
National Committee, and the Re
publican State Committee of New
York, say that he has majority OF
the votes cast in the State of New
York, and they certainly have as
good facilities for gathering the cor
rect vote, as have any other set OF
gentlemen in that State. We be-
lieye it moreover because, while the
Chairman of the Republican Com
mittee simply announce the fact and
says it will be verified by the official
count, the Chairmen of both the
Democratic Committees, accompany
their GLAZING, that the vote has been
cast for Cleveland, with threats and
bluster never resorted to by men
who are confident of their position.
The wild claims and windy asser-
tions of newspaper editors and cor
respondents do not count. They
are the mere ebulitions of partisans
whose wish is father to the thought.
We repeat, we believe that the off-
cial count of the vote of New York
will show that Mr.. Blaine is in the
majority, and is therefore elected
President. If the figures should
prove otherwise, no paper in the
country will more readily submit to
the inevitable, than viii the HERALD.

Burning the Bloody Shirt.


ATLANTA, November THE city
is celebrating Cleveland's election.
At III o'clock, amidst the ringing of
fire bells, firing of cannon, and blow
ing of whistles, an immense crowd,
bearing banners, flags, and red shirts
on poles, entered the capitol, took
the legislature by storm and ad-
]ourned that body. The crowd then
took up Governor Mcdaniel and car
ried him scross the street to the
custom house, where the red shirts
were burned and enthusiastic and
patriotic speeches were made by
Governor Mcdaniel, Congressman
Hardman, and General Lawton.

MIR. BLAINE TALKS.
Chairman Manning Denounced,

AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. THE lat
est advices received here from New
York are to the effect that the Re
publican committees, State and Ma
tisnal. after careful examination
of the whole ground, are satisfied
that the State has gone for Blaine
and Logan. They say that q cor
rect count will show a small Repub-
lican plurality, and that they have
taken steps to establish the fact
Mr.. Blaine's residence has been
crowded all day, many prominent
citizens from distant parts of the
State arriving. The interest in the
result of New York is growing deep
er every hour. This afternoon Mr..
Blaine talked freely about the situ-
alton. He said, to a distinguished
citizen of Maine; Il feel entirely
confident that the honest vote of
New York, without change or ma
nipulation, will show a Republican
plurality Of not less than 1900 votes.
l do not speak idly, but from the
most accurate data, carefully fur
nished me from the most compe-
tent sources" Mr.. Blaine added
that the dispatch of Daniel
Manning, published yesterday, con-
tanned the most arrogant and offen-
sive threat to control the election
returns in the interest of the Demo
cratic ticket ever made in any nor
thern State, and equaled the worst
bulldozing proclamation ever issued
in the south. He thought its effect
would be to arouse the law-abiding
citizens of New York, who cannot
afford to have their State reduced to
the level of lawlessness prevailing
in South Carolina and Mississippi
The gentleman asked Mr.. Blaine if
he felt any disappointment over the
possible prospect of losing the Pres
icency by such means. Mr.. Blaine
answered: 81 do not feel so in any
personal sense, but profoundly SO
on account of the vast national in
terests depending on the result Ifeel
great pride that no intimation of
fraud has been uttered against the
members of the Republican party
in any state or district. | do not
believe that the American people
will accept fraudulent result. The
Republicans have carried the north
ern States by more than 100000
majority, and they do not propose
to have the leading State taken from
them by fraud.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November z.
The President has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation:
The season is nigh when 1t is the
early wont Of this people to observe
the day appointed for that purpose
By the President as m especial day
for thanksgiving unto God.
Now. therefore, in recognition of
this hallowed custom. |, Chester A.
Arthur, President of the United
States, do hereby designate as such
day OF General Thanksgiving, Thurs
day the 9th Of this present Novem-
Der. And | do recommend that
throughout. the land, the people
ceasipg from their accustomed occu-
pations, do then keep holiday at
their several homes and their sever
al places of worship and with heart
and voice pay reyerent acknowledge
ment to the Giver of all Good for
the countless blessings wherewith
He has visited this Nation.

Ir depends wholly upon the vote
of New York whether Mr.. Blaine or
Mr.. Cleveland is 20 be the next Pres
ident of the United States. Unfor.
tunately, the vote of that State is so
close that it will require the official
count to determine who has the
majority, but it is a simple question
of adding up accurately long COL
umns Of figures, and this will have
to be done by the Canvassing Board.
before the result can be ascertained.
The candidate who has majority
of the votes. if it be but a single
one will be entitled to the electoral
vote of the State, viii be elected. and
viii take his seat. If it be Mr..
Blaine, very well. Ii it be Mr..
Cleveland it will also be very well.
The people will not stand by and
see any man cheated, and there is

not the slightest fear Of any such re-
suit.
There is q set of miserable trick
sters in the country who are attsnpt-
ing to incite an uprising ofthe baser
elements Of society, by proclaimlng
in advance of the count, that Cleve-
land is elected, and that he shall be
inaugurated, by force if necessary.
This is simply an attempt to bull
doze Republicans and in the end
will prove wretched failure.
The men who talk thus are fools.
or towards, or both. The blusterer
is the fellow who invariably runs
away when the point of danger is
reached. The good citizen knows
that there is no necessity for hot
words or violent actions, and be
should frown down all attempts to
stir up strife.
The vote of the State Of New York,
like that of the State of Pennsylvan-
ia, will be canvassed in few days,
and the result announced, and the
people will see to it, that whatever
that result may be, it shall be re-
spected and enforced. The talk
about contemplated frauds is mere
idle blathsr. The law shields the
ballot box in New York, as else
where, and under its protecting wing,
the vote will be counted, and the
successful candidate will in due
time be inaugurated President of
these United States. Keep cool,
await the result patiently, and feel
well assured that no man is going
to be cheated into the Presidency of
this great country.

Logan is Confident.

CHICAGO, November IL believe
the Republicans have carried New
York and will not believe otherwise
unless the official returns show the
contrary" said General Logan this
morning. "Allmy advices," he con-
tinued, "go to prove this, and to
show that nothing but fraud can de.
prive the American people of their
choice" !"
The General is very cheerful. He
has moved his quarters from the
Grand Pacific to Postmaster Pal
mer's residence on the South Side.
Mrs. Logan also appeared very con-
fident that victory had settled on
Black Jacks banner.

New York, November THE ex-
ecutive committees of the various
Cleveland and Hendricks clubs met
to night and resolved to hold a mass
meeting of merchants and citizens
in the acamemy of music tomorrow
night. The committee has issued
an address to the business men of
the city in which they say: "The
election of Cleveland and Hendricks
to the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency of the United States is an as
sured fact All can rejoice that the
election is over and that now active
energies may once more be givea to
our regular business affairs"

Dynamite Disaster.

READING, Pa, November 6.-The
dynamite works of H. w. Stump &
Co., three quarters of a mile from
Stouchsburg, a village Of 800 inha5-
itants, blew up this afternoon, shak-
ing up the country for distance of
twenty miles. The works consisted
OF five frame buildings, the imbers
of which were sent flying in all di-
rections, nothing remaining but the
foundations. ALI the men in the
buildings were killed, so the cause
OF the explosion will never be
known.
The windows were broken in
many houses in Stouschburg, people
knocked off their feet and mirrors
and pictures shaken from the walls.
A church and several houses were
unr iofed. The victims were literal
" blown to atoms.
ANOTHER CALAMITY.
AT Robesonia, zen miles from
Stouchsourg, a number of masons
were working at the bottom of Fer
guson & Co.'S furnace stack, ceiling it
with friedrich. The stack is proba-
bly, 100feet high and the work near
ly completed. Ten, some say fif-
teen, men were ir the stack, some at
the bottom and Others on the scaf-
folding above. Just as the shock of
the explosion was felt the stack
quivered, there was !. bling noise
followed Immediately by great
deluge of bricks, completely burying
six men in the bottom of the stack.
They were not instantly killed, but
they will be burned to death. as the
scatfolding is burning and they can
not be reached.
Four or five others were wounded.
The excitement was intense, crowds
of people, including the wives and
children of the unfortunate men,
surrounding the ruins. q
The loss to the furnace cannot be
estimated tonight.

for shooting Edward Mitchell last
night. After telegram announcing
