STILL AT IT.

under the caption zine Late Eiec-
tion," statement or compilation OF
the vote for Governor, made by "a
prominent member of the Republi-
can State Central Committee."-
The Picayune says that ''the inves-
tigation has been carried on extern
sively, especially in Parishes where
charges of fraudulent practices in
conducting the election were rife
and says that the prominent mem
Der of the Committee believes that
the results arrived at are not far
from correct. His investigation, he
claims, establishes the fact that Nc
Emery was not elected, but was
counted in." The results Of the
investigation made are given by
Parishes, showing the vote for Gov.
ernor alone, and among the number
we find that Rapides is down as a
Parish in which grave frauds were
committed. The vote as given by
the prominent member of the Re-
publican Committee and that as
given by Returning Officer Staples
are so different that we cannot re-
frain from placing them side by
side, and let the world sec the
figures. Those furnished by the
prominent member of the Republic
can Committee are-For McEnery,
1860; for Stevenson, 1905. Our
Returning Officer, Mr.. Staples,
gives McEnery, 17Os, and Steven
son, 1857.
Only few words more. 1t is
we'll known fact that no frauds
were committed in this Parish, and
that neither intimidation or bull
doziug were resorted to at the last
election. The Picayuse knows this,
and the prominent member of the
Republican State Central Commit
tee knows it too, and we deny most
emphatically any statement to the
contrary. The time has passed,
and we are glad Of it, when ballot
box stutfing was, INDUCED in and
election frauds were practiced.-
We are of opinion that the Picayune
could publish something more IN
teresting to its readers than the
staid growlings of We prominent
member of the Republican State
Central Committee" The people
are tired of such hash.
The President has appointed
Commissioners to represent the DIFF
ferent Government Dept's. at the
Worlds Fair and Cotton Centen-
NAL, which is to be held at New
Orleans next December. This is
to be the grandest affair of the
kind ever held on this continent.
The managers of this fair are assur-
ed of it's success from the liberal
encouragement which is being Civ
en- them from the various portions
of the world. This is q national
enterprise, and should meet with a
warm support from every one who
has any pride in the progress and
advancement of this great country.

Estates.
IT is now recalled that during
the Folger campaign of 1882 in
New York Blaine did nothing or
said nothing in behalf of the Re-
publican ticket. He even went so
far as to write letter wherein he
took the ground that it was the
right and duty oHRcpublicans not to
support a bad nomination or a NOM
nation obtained by questionable
means. Many of Blaine's chickens
will come home to roost between
now and November.
-THE weather during the past
two weeks has been more favorable
to planters and farmers at that any
time since the crops were planted.
In some sections corn and cotton
are reported thriving; In others
grassy and not thrifty. As a whole
we are inclined to think that with
continued favorable weather (occa-
sional rains included which it is
hoped will fall at the right time
good and favorable crops, in fact,
better than expected will be made
