other, Dungeons forth as the most violent and I'M
ycruplous of bulldoser In his speech at Tanulah
be pictured IN burning language the evils OF csrpes
bag rule He turned back the pages of history four5
Teen years and portrayed In language calculated 10
arouse the hercest passions the hideous and unpar-
alleed state OF affairs then existing and declared
that rather than witness the return of such evils
he woaid prefer 10 see ne STATE rrufped IN revolution
Prom ne Arkansas tine 10 the cuff
"Ho painted the evils that would result should
wsrmoth be elected urged the necessity Of present
ing an unbroken front 20 the common Republican
snemy. and wouad up by declaring that during he pres
snt contes, ne lu should be suspended until the danger
past.
"The speech throughout was a plain and unvar
nshed plea for the srctest drawing OF the color line
and call on the white men Of the State to unite
10 defeat, By fair means foul the aspirations OF
the Republican party through its most conspicuous
and ablest iieutenant-Warnoth.'
BULLDozING IN THE REPUBLICAN PARISHES.
Following McEnery's speech, Madison Parish
showed that the budozing had fairly begun The
Hon. c. Hawkins and the Hon. W. W. Johnson have
been colored members Of the Louisiana General AS
scmbly, and they were candidates for reelection
They waited upon by committee representing
the Democratic Parish Committee, and given five
days notice leave the State They failed to leave
ordered. The Hon. e. Hawkins was forcibly
seized, put upon the train and escorted under an
armed guard to vicksburg, Miss. He was there
turned loose with the threat that his return would
be al the peril of his life. The same night gang
Of twelve men, armed with Winchester rifles, went
cunning after the Hon. w. W. Johnson After
breaking open his house and not finding hin, they
visited the house of a nephew, broke in, took him
out and whipped him numerically with an iron ram
rod. Mr.. Johnson, managing to evsde the gang,
made his way to vicksburg. Mr.. Hawkins and Mr.
johnson have both been compelled, as the means OF
making theif peace, to forward their designations az
candidates. Madison Parish should have not less
than $500 Republican majority.
The Republican parishes north OF the Red RIVER are
evidently to DO again budozed, as far as may be- in
the sugar parishes south OF Red River, uttio trouoe
need be apprehended
@The Shreveport Democrat admits the probability
of ticket coming to the Red River from tho
southern parishes with 10000 majority. "The New
Orleans Times Democrat says that we get even lar
more than this, are stl to be beaten by the north
ern parishes 1t here figures out that 10000 colored
voters viii fail to vote That is the way has worked
of late years. the blacks have learned their les
son.
M'ENERY's ORDER FOR THE DEFEAT OF WAR
MOTH.
I charge that Governor McEnery has entered into
conspiracy to again carry these North Louisiana par
ishes by bulldozing and fraud These are the par
sbcs Of Rapldes, Natchoches, Caddo, Ouachta, More
house. Madison, Carroll, Tensas, and East and West
Feliciana They have all heavy Republican MAORI
ties, ana may DC carried DcfuOcrdliC III olhoi way
!han by fraud. 1 charge Governor McEnery with the
purpose here deny the free and fair election, to
here subvert the popular Will. l charge him with
sending his returning officers the following official
letter TO that end, to wit: War'noh is dereiOpin9
loo much strength; see 10 ii that your parish Is re-
turned strongly Democratic at all hazards dare
him to deny that he wrote It; that It is an official
paper and that 1t signed with his proper sig
nature.
There VIII be, say 1000 polling places throughout
the state, with four officials at every poll. These
1000 officials will all be Democrats, appointed by
Governor McEncry. The directions given his officials
are seem The State is TO be stolen. That Is the
programme. May be 1t will win, may be it will not
One thing is certanI not to be counted out with
out a fight for It. The world shall know It, Will
Fight the Issues too IL need be, in National Con
vention This boasted "ciotatton Of ne c'cH rights
guaranteed to ne blacks by the Constitution Of the
United States the of subverting the popular
WILL may well be matter Of discussion The Southern
delegations will show at least, one member ready
for tho ISSUE The immediate outcome, at least, you
will soon know. Yours truly,
