INDIRECT BRIBERY.

Democrats Trying to "Induce" Colored
Voters to Stay Ont of Town Tuesday.
The Journal has before referred to the
constant efforts made by the agents of T.
Pinkerton TaRgart Coy and Wilson to in
duco colored voters to 60 out of town on
election day. HUNTING parties. fishing ex-
cursIons and various other schemes for
taking them out of town. The Sun In
dependency last evening published this:
"A white man. accompanied by twenty
four colored men. was at the Union Depot
Saturday evening. The man said that he
was taking them to Cincinnati to vote, but
their tickets were for Shelbyville. The
men said that they were going to New
port and Covington. 1t is believed that
they have been paid by the Democrats to
get out of town till after the election"
This vas probably the 6rst ins tallment.
This sort of thing comes under the bribery
clause of the ballot law, and the men who
are engineering the scheme are being CLOSE
ly watched. If efforts are made to carry it
further the State prisons are likely to have
an increase of population; what is more,
the law catches the man bribed as we'll as

DID NOT KEEP FAITH.
Only Twenly.FOur Unions Went on Strike at
New Orleans Yesterday-Cars Tied Up.

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 5.-The general
strike of labor organizations occurred to.
day at noon. There are sixty-fve unions
In the Amalgamated Council Forty-seven
signed the agreement for general strike.
OF these twenty-four kept the COMPACT.
There will be considerable public suffering
In consequences. as the list includes the car
drivers and the gas and electric-light-
workers. The dry goods clerks. the various
cotton laborers and other large bodies did
not join in the strike, while other unions
only succeeded In getting half tn cir forces
to 60 out. The inner dissensiOne among
the labor organizations, in consequence, IS
depended upon to put an end TO the strike,
even If attempts at arbitration fail.
At 5 O'Clock this afternoon the etreet-car
drivers all left work and tied mp all the
lines In the city. There have been no re-
ports OF serious violence and the city is re-
markedly quiet considering the number of
idle men on the streets. The theaters are
night performances. An arbitration con-
ference between the merchants committee
and the body from the Amalgamated Coun-
Gil adjourned until tomorrow at IL o'clock
without taking action. The question be-
tween them is the agreement of the men to
return to work before the question of de-
mand is considered. The merchants are
willing to arbltrate with the unions if they
will send their men back to work. while
the strikers demand that all differences be
settled before the men return to work. One
of their demands ia that none but union
men shall be employed.
