ballot-box when the published returns from
New York State showed that Cleveland had
a plurality in that state of 1900 Mr.. Blaine
gave out to the Associated Press the follow
ing, which was wired over the entire coun-
try:
81 believe that an honest vote of New
York State gave Republican plurality and
ask the committee to see that we have q
fair and honest count.
n feel enti ely confident that the honest
vote of New Yo k, without change or mani.
pulation. will show plurality for the Re.
publican electors of not less than 1900.
do not speak idly, but from the most accur
ate data carefully furnished me from The
most competent sources"
| If Mr.. Blaine had the data which he con
fidently declared he had, why did not he OIL
| his friends produce said data before the re-
turning board? The fact of the officia
count varying less than hundred from the
result as declared within twenty-four hours
after the clio ing of the polls brands James
G. Blaine a deliberate faisifier. Such a
proclamation coming from presidential
candidate temporarily disturbed, most ser
ously, the business and political tranquility
# this country, while the Democratic can
didate's election was being very generally
conceded the Republican contestant injected
the tire-b brand of distrust into the minds OF
his countrymen as regarded the final result;
and MIR. Blaine's Incorporate, false and
in6ammatory telegram indicated that its
author was intent to re-nrganize the "1S76
business" on his own account.
If Mr.. Blaine had been true to himself,
and true to his large following he would
have made an ample apology to the Amer
ican people when the official count declared
that "his most accurate data" was most
egregious lie.
Last Tuesday evening when the friends of
Mr. Blaine at Augusta, made him sort Of
a condolatory serenade he made it the op-
portunity to deliver the most bitter aud mis-
chievous sectional speech that has bsen
heard in the North for many day. The
anguish of defeat seems tohave extingushed
all the generous sentiment which he pro-
iessed to have when he penned his letter of
or rather it shows that that SEN
timent was paraded in the hope of winning
S uthern votes, and having failed in that he
shows his real temper. He beittles the
Northern influence that contributed to his
defeat, and treats the result as a transfer of
the control of the Government to the South,
which he processes to believe is fiauglt
with misfortune to the country. He shows
no conception of the principle that the Gov
belongs to the people of the whole
and not to party or section, and
endeavors to revive old antagouisms and
lsatreds aud to inflame the fears of the
negroes A more impair otto,
nischievous, and bitterly sectional and mar
row spirit than Mr.. Blaine exhibits in defeat
is inconceivable, and as before stated many
of Mr.. Blaine's honest and earnest admirers
will recognize in their defeat their miscon-
ceptions of their standard bearers virtues.
Mr.. Blaine not only lost the Presidency,
but he is also determined to forfeit the re-
spect and confidence of the American peo-
pie.

AN INDIAN EXHIBIT.
Tim es-Democrat.1

A correspondent sends in the
very appropriate suggestion that
our neighbors, the Choctaws of st.
Tammany parish, be invited to
send delegates and exhibits to the
Worlds Industrial Exhibition. It
will be strange, indeed, if we have
present at this grea. fair none of
the original possessors of the very
land whereon it is given; equally
strange if, while we invite far dis
tant countries like Siam, we over
look and neglect our very neares.
neighbors, living but u few hours
distant from us.
The State of Louisiana contains
an unusually large number Of In
llans-more SO than nearly any
other in the Uniou-and there
courses in the veins of Louisiana
decidedly more Indian blood than
anywhere else. There was not ons
but many Pocahontases down here.
In the early days of Louisiana one
fourth of the slave population were
redskins. They have wilted away.
it is true, but have left their traces
behind In hundreds of descendants,
many OF whom are ignorant of this
aboriginal ancestry.
The bulk of our Indian popula-
ton live in the neighboring parish
of st. Tammany. They have a set
Element of their own there, their
own hotels, churches and priests.
They are more than sem;-civil:zed.
and while they still boast of many
OF the traits of the redskin, they
are skilled III quite number of
petty industries. Ii properly en-
couraged, they can be induced to
make an exhibit here which will be
attractive, both on account of its
merit and the rare beauty of the
articles exhibited. and ON account
of its uniquoness and originality.
In the matter of baskets and bas-
ketware alone, our Choctaw friends
can do something really wonderful
and quite unequaled. Nearly all
articles of their make are graceful
In design and handsome III color
ing. And what could they not do
if ambition or pride urged them
on to greater efforts? In bead and
feather work, in the collection of
rare herbs, in articles of the chase,
in specimens of game and fish, they
could make display that would
be both interesting and beautiful.
Let our Indian neighbors be, by
all means invited-not simply in
vited, for We fear this would hard
ly have the proper effect, but let us
induce some one possessing infu-
ence over them to see to it that
there is an Indian exhibit here
one that will show what tie abor-
igines can do. and recall the recol-
lections clustering around early
Louisiana, and which is retold in
the Indian names of our rivers,

Our lawyers are worried again
this term of Court by appointments
to defend criminals who claim that
they have no money to pay fee.
The practice is carried to such an
extent that it is no uncommon
sight to see strong burly men in
Court demanding a privilege which
should only be extended to pau
pers If the lawyers would content
themselves with seeing that the ac-
cnsed has fair trial, and that none
but legal evidence be introduced
and the improper excluded, 1t
would have very salient effect

Il tendency to break up II very bad
