The registration of 1873 was the only
perfect registration in Grant parish
within the past six years. The books
that year showed 1880 voters. OF this
number 544 were white and 466 color
ed, giving the Democrats a bare major
ity of So, taking the color line as the
division between the parties. In view
of the large number of white voters
that have settled in Grant parish with
in the last three years, we now place
the number Of voters at 1900, and put
the relative strength Of the parties at
600 Democrats and 500 Republicans,
with say 80 or l0O of the dissatisfied OF
independent "don't-know-what" ele-
ment. The only chance for defeat Of
the Democratic ticket lies in the fact
that the whites are rather negligent IL
turning out to register and vote, while
| the blacks take an active interest ana
always poll their full strength.

Catholic religion, made their appear
ance in Colfax yesterday. They are
dressed in the regular Turkish cos
tune, and present an odd spectacle to
the people of our country. They are
able bodied and capable of working
for a living, and we do not think they
are entitled to aims. Christians in al
countries are expected to earn thei'
living by honest labor, and they should
not be encouraged in their begging
tour through the land.

In the parish of Grant there are
seven hundred Democratic voters and
about FIVE hundred Republicans. OF
this latter number twelve or fifteen are
white, and the only reason they claim
to be Republicans is for the sake of the
crumbs that may fall to them from the
black mans basket in the shape Of Of
fee. Nine ont of ten of the industri-
GUS, sober and moro intelligent negroes
of the parish would be Democrats i
they knew what constituted the differ
ence between the two parties. The
time is coming when our Intelligent
colored men will feel ashamed to OWE
that they were ever so silly as to bt
hoodwinked by Republican clap-trap.
