dent in the remarks that he alleges made
Impressions upon the audience that will
not soon be obliterated.n The reputable
colored people of the parish have been
insulted BY the statement from the same
extremely unreliable source that every
colorea leader of any chracter in Ascension
supporting Gay, whereas the reverse
of the proposition is very much nearer the
truth.
The barbecue that was to have been held
in the tenth ward last Sunday was inter-
fered with by the rain and large quantity
of bread and meat prepared for the occa-
sion was distributed among the people of
the vicinity the following day. To-mor--
row the opposition campaign will be closed
with n mass meeting at Donaldsonville
which is to be addressed by ex-Goy. Mich
oils, Judge E. D. White and other speakers.
Since writing the foregoing synopsis of
the political situation and of the meetings
that have taken place during the past week,
we find that our paper can not be issued
until after the day Of election, hence we
refrain from further. comment on the To-
cal campaign, and trust that, whatever the
result of the contest as between Messrs.
Gay and Kellogg, we shall have q surcease
of the excitement and bad feeling that
have been stirred up by this animated
fight, and which have at times threatened
to eliminate in bloodshed. Fortunately
the breaches of the public peace have been
confined to numerous quarrels and few
knock downs, but these might easily have
led to more serious consequences.

The little clock which operator Simmons
kept in the telephone Office adjoining the
Lee Hotel mysteriously disappeared the
other day, and +" Booze" was terribly exer-
cised over the matter. He made number
of speeches on the subject and anathema-
tized the purloiner of his time-piece in
language much more forcible than polite.
Inquiry and investigation falling to reveal
any trace of the property, "Booze was on
the point of placing the case in the hands
of the Pinkerton detective agency when
express agent Camel put in an appearance
with package purporting to have come
from New Orleans consigned to the worthy
telephone man, which was found to con-
tain the missing clock. The charge on the
package was twenty-five cents and Sim
mons paid it with grimace, but We doubt
If the express company is any richer for it,
as Theo. and Prosper took a drink irme
diately afterwards and seemed very merry
about something. The affair has dark and
bloody look and we are haunted by the sus
picion that the rumor that some unprinci
pied drummer pocketed the clock and ex-
pressed it back from the city is campaign
lie, circulated for political effect.

Republican Mass-M Getting at Phoenix
Hall.
DoNAIDsoNv1LLE, Oct, 90,

| DoNALDsoNvILLE, Oct, %, 1881.
| Pursuant to public announcement 6
grand mass-m meeting was held at Phoenlz
Hall, last night, which was crowded tt
| overlooking.
At 7:45 o'clock, Mr.. r. B. Baquie, css.ios
the assembly to order, and designated Mr.,
L. E. Bentley to preside. Mr.. Bentley, on
assuming the chair, informed the meeting
that they had been called to assemble in
honor of the candidate of the Republican
party for congress, the Hon. VIM. 2. KEEL
logg.
The following list of officers was read
and approved:
Vice Presidents A. Cheesers, Henry
nj. Scale, Geo. Scale, Louis Lefort, j. j.
Sullivan, V. c. Gabrielle, Jno. Pettaway,
Jno. Reynaud, FL. w. Lacroix, G. w. King.

Gingry.
Secretsries-R. B. Baquie, J-o. C. Mar
tin, Jos. j. Laeroix.
Sergeants-at-Arms Toussant, Eu-
gene Baptiste, Numa Braud and Clement
Nebbert.
The chairman then introduced Mr.. Kel-
iogg. AS Mr.. Kellogg arose he was met
by a shower OF cheers and applause from
those people who know so well how to greet
a faithful servant. Mr.. Kellogg addressed
the citizens, confning himself to issues
now presented to the American people for
their consideration. His discourse was
clear and concise, and characteristic of his
ability as statesman and scholar. He was
frequently interrupted with deafening
cheers.
The next speaker introduced was Mr..
Jas. D. Kennedy. Louisiana's honored col
ored son, whose appeals to his race were
searching and effective. His remarks to the
white race were conched in polished and
truthful language and much appreciated.
Judge Jno. 4. Cheevers, Hon. Pierre
Landry, Messrs. J. J. Sullivan and L. E.
Bentley of this parish made short speeches,
advising the people respecting their duties
as citizens and Republicans.
Mr.. j. II. Lowery of Iberville being
present, was invited to address the meeting.
This he did in few words, and very credit
ably.
The Republicans assembled pledged to
stand by the Hon. W. P. Kellogg, the friend
of louisiana industries, the champion of
the oppressed, and the advocate Of uniyer-
sal education.
The meeting then adjourned amidst
cheers for Blaine, Logan and Kellogg.
After adjournment Mr.. Kellogg was in
troduced to the ladies and gentlemen. Put
Ascension down for Kellogg by good
majority. r. B. BAQUIE,

The West Baton Rouge Sugar Plante,
announces the death, at Westover planta-
ton, in that parish, on the 18th ult., of
Mr.. Adolph E. Brooks, formerly resident
of Ascension, aged 90 years. Mr.. Brooks
spent several years in our parish as manager
OF Mr.. Duncan r. Kenner's Adolph tract,
lying between Mrs. Julien Landry's and
the Marchand place, just above Crevasse
Settlement, and during the illness of his
brother-in-law, Mr.. J. e. JoffTion, he took
the latter's place as manager of Mr.. Ken
psr's Ashland plantation. Mr. Brooks left
here, we believe, either in the latter part of
1882 or the beginning of 1885, and has been
engaged since that time on plantations in
West Baton Rouge parish. He was young
man of jovial disposition, and enjoyed the
esteem of all who knew him. He leaves a
widow, but We are uniformed as to
whether he had children.

At a second meeting of the citizens of
Shreveport held to consider the lynching
OF Chas. McLane near that city, the
committee appointed at the first meeting
to Investigate the matter reported that
evidence tending to establish the innocence
of McLane and the identity of his MUIR
derers had been obtained and would be
placed in the hands of the proper author
tiles. 1t was shown that the prisoner had
been arrested without due warrant of law,
and resolutions adopted requesting the
Mayor to suspend Chief of Police E. M.

TILE ELECTION.

As we go to press Friday evening, the It'll
instant, six days behind time, the result OF
the National election is still in doubt, but
the indications favor the Democratic claim
that Cleveland and Hendricks have been
elected by the vote of the solid South, New
York, Indiana, New Jersey and Connecti-
cut. The Republicans have not conceded
New York, however, and the contest in
that State is so close it may take an official
canvass of the returns to decide it. Blaine
and Cleveland both claim to be elected and
the excitement prevailing throughout the
country ia intense.
Louisiana gives decreased Democratic
majority. Col. st. Martin is elected Con-
gresham from the First District, Judge
Michael Hahn from the Second, Mr.. Gay
from the Third, Mr.. Blanchard from the
Fourth, Gen. King from the Fifth and
Judge Irion from the Sixth-fve Demo-
Gratis to one Republican.
Mr.. Gays majority over Gov. Kellogg in
the Third District is placed at about 700.
Ascension gave Kellogg 1913 votes, Gay
1923; Kellogg's majority, 1870.
The election was quiet and peaceable.

The Louisiana Standard has gone clean
daft on the subject of Kellogg and fills its
columns with denunciation of that candi-
date and ford account of the virtues of the
typical "laboring mans friend(D Edward
j. Gay and of the progress of the imagi-
nary "Gay wave sweeping over the Third
District" If the reports from the other
parishes are no more truthful than those
the Standard publishes concerning Assem-
sion; the Gay wave can scarcely be regarded
a robust ripple

THE DEMOCRATIC CANVASS

A white man named Chas. McLane,
suspected of setting fire to Mr.. J. NJ.
Fosters Clubhouse i'll Bossier parish, was
taken away from two special officers from
Shreveport six miles east of that city, by q
party OF armed men, and hanged to tree
near the roadside. Evidence elected since
the iynching indicates that McLane was an
innocent man. Much indignation exists
against the lynchers, and vigorous eHortto
detect and punish them is promised.

One of the requirements of our beautiful
election law is that there shall be two boxes
at each poll on election day, one in which
to deposit the votes for Presidential Elec-
tors, the other to receive the votes for Con-
gressmen. This provision seems to have
been devised for the express purpose of
confusing illiterate voters and causing
many of them to waste their ballots by
putting them in the wrong boxes.

When the IBerville South says the colored
people may well feel proud of such
representative men as Stewart and Her
bert, the political acrobats" who are
Htumping this district for Mr.. Gay, it ad-
rertises its unfamiliarity with the record
and character of those worthless. A little
investigation would cause our IberviIle
contemporary to entertain different
opinion on this subject.

The New Orleans States assumes that the
detection of Sheriff Jones and Clerk Hill
from the Republican party ''naeans ma
jority in Ascension for Gay" The assump-
ton is groundless. Messrs Jones and Hill
undoubtedly had considerable following
while they we're in the Republican party.
but when they went bag and baggage, body
and soul into the Democratic camp it must
not be presumed that their Republican
friends followed them. On aquare issue
between Republicanism and Democracy,
such as is presented in this contest, the Re-
publlcans of Ascension are true to their
principles and will vote for the representa-
tives of those principles, Blaine, Logan and
Kellogg.

Ex-Goy. Warmoth, who has just returned
from Europe, attributes the present depres-
sion in the price of sugar to the enormous
subsidies directly or indirectly paid by the
governments of France and Germany. The
rebate on sugar exported from these coun-
tries is actually greater than the cost of pro-
duction; hence German beet sugar in Eng
land sells at lower prices than it does in
Germany.-City Item.

The "private advices F" of the New Or
leans Standard that Custom house en-
ployes and their followers, armed with re-
volyers, tried to break up a Gay meeting
in one of the wards of Ascension" are
| quite as unreliable as the mendacious re-
ports it has reproduced of big Gay meet
ings held and colored Gay clubs organized
here. Several persons who were present
when a party of Gay folks from Donald
sonville tried to hold meeting in Smoke
Bend and failed, assert that the only
weapon shown on that accession was drawn
by Gay man. Affidavit was made against
two Kellogg men, who were put under
heavy bonds for appearance the following
Monday. They were on hand at the ap-
pointed time, but the case was not called
up and has not yet been examined, which
may be taken as reasonable indication
that the allegations of the affidavit can not be
sustained. The Standards bloody shirt
doesn't call for anything ip Ascension.

To pay hall rent bands for music, speakers
and canvassers for actual service in the cause
of their own party is legitimate in every re-
spect and that much the Kellogg managers pro-
pose to pay. But in no case do they propose to
pay one single dollar for any mans vote.--lMoI-
gan City Free Press.
This describes precisely the spirit which
prevails in the conduct of the Republican
canvass in Ascension. No man is offered
money for his influence, no attempt is
made to bride any one to support the Re-
publican nominees; no wide-mouthed ruff
fans are employed and encouraged to pro-
woke disturbances and assured that the par
ty managers will see them cut if they get
into trouble or infict bodily injury upon
an opponent: no counsel is given to can
yassers or voters by those directing the
party policy which could not with propriefy
be uttered in public.
