The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1884-08-09

The Washington correspondent of the
Houston Post-a Democrat writing to a
Democratic paper says there is no denying
two facts: 1. That the Republicans are
much encouraged over the Irish detection
from the Democracy in the East; 2. That
West Virginia is in danger of voting the
Republican ticket in October. The ratiiica-
ton meeting held last week by Irish citizens
at Clarendon Han, New York City, is de-
scribed as a rousing affair at which the
enthusiasm exhibited for Blaine and Logan
was intense; and the trouble in West Vir-
ginia is ascribed mainly to the fact that the
Democratic State convention disgraced tie
party by its noisy, discordant and indecent
proceedings. While our friends of the
opposition are laying the fattering JUNCTION
to their souls that Cleveland and Hendricks
may carry New York and Indiana. they
should not forget that States like West Viz
ginia, North Carolina, Virginia and even
Louisiana are becoming debatable ground.
