have done our duty in the premises,
and must leave it to our readers judg-
ment TO decide which Of the two fore
casts is the more likely to maferialize.
That both forecasts are two rosy is
plain the Republican forecast being
especially and almost absurdly so.
They both err in claiming New York
and Connecticut and West Virginia as
assured to themselves Just as much as
they each show their good sense in
leaving Indiana as doubtful.
The Democrats have still, probably,
the chances of carrying the country a
trlfle in their favor. in spite of the fact
that a certain degree of inharmonious
friction in the Democratic ranks in New
York was eyinced by the putting forth
yesterday of two local tickets by the
Democratic party of that State.

NOTHING IN IT.

The New Orleans papers, morning
and evening for number of days
past, have been giving us ''pot-
pouri" OF political passages in the
Republican camp in the immediate
neighborhood of the city, and else
where as occasion afforded; but
nearlyall of it turns out to be mere
partizan effervesence. Fusions have
been announced of various kinds,
candidates nominated and combina-
tons guaranteeing complete Repub-
lican success on the 9th of Novem-
Der III several districts of the State
boosted of !; but when these things
have been submitted to the ordeal of
a close scrutiny, the conclusions
have almost invariably been. sThere
is nothing in it,
Much vaporizing has been done by
the factions individually and col
lectivety for special purposes, but
most of it was done because those
doing it could not see their way to a
successful issue of their aspirations.
They have really been casting about
with the hope Of something turning
up: in other words, '.Micawbering." "
The City Item OF recent date gives
expression to the true situation as
follows:
s'They say the Warmothites will
support the fusion compact. AL
though we are not sanguine in our
expectations of carrying any district,
We are fighting for national prestige"
Which we take to be about the
gist of the whole matter, or IN other
words, ''havipg received Congress
ional nomination &C., if Harrison
wins we will be in the swim as far as
Louisiana is concerned, but If he is
defeated we can console ourselves
with the conclusion that we took all
the chances in sight" Still we adj
wise the Democracy that the RAIDS
will bear close watching till the race
Is over.

If the negroes Of Ouachi.a parish
woald maintain their present peace
ful and pleasant relations with the
white people, if they would enjoy
the benefactlon of continued liberal
contributions to their public schools,
if they would avoid the re-inaugnra-
ton Of the reign of terror which
eliminated in the overthrow aud
utter destruction of radicalism in
1878, if they love good government
and all that it implies of protection
to life and property, they will join
their white friends and neighbors
who find them employment in sup
port of the nominees of the Demo-
cratic party. Telegraph Bulletin.
What the tried and true Demo-
cratic paper of Monroe says above
with regard to the negroes of Ouach-
ita parish in this crisis, is just, true
and proper. and will apply with
equal force to the colored people of

out to Webb as far as the Congress

leaders, and it is about time they
were coming over to their true

The peculiar methods" TO get
votes for Boatner is natural pro-
duct of the peculiar brain of the
Times F; but it only proves that the
Times and It's editor is sadly out OF
joint.
The Bastrop Appeal revives the
following slanderous falsehood from
the Ruston Progressive Age:
Mr.. G. J. Boatner was heard to
say on the streets Of Monroe that his
chances for election lay in the negro
vote. We can get their votes with
money aud whiskey; and if we can't
carry the district by that means we
will try the counting process.
The Telegraph-Bulletin in clean
cut comment upon the foregoing,
carefully nails and clinches the false
hood as follows:
The Appeal knows the charge to
be SANDER, an infamous, malignant
libel, the dirtiest and most inexcusa-
BILE calamny, lie out OF the whole
cloth.
We could multiply the samples we
have given adj infinitum, to show that
the Gunbvites finding themselves so
woefully in the minority, are reck-
lessly and Extensively overheated.

From Both Points Of View.
fTimesDemoerat.1


As the date of the election draws
near and rainbow chasing is abandon
ed one begins to get a moderately fair
idea of how the leaders of the two par
ties really expect the ELECTORAL vote of
the country to stand after the balioting
on the eventful day.
Several OF the leading papers at the
North have been busyiug themselves
for some days in getting the leaders on
both sides to state definitely their fore
cast of the vote, and the composite
showing presented By the representa-
tives of the two parties is quite inter-
esting. 1t does not show the amount
Of change from Republicanism to DEM
ocracy. and vice versa, which might
have been expected from the great ac-
counts of landslides in political opin-
ion with which the country has recently
been flooded. particularly in respect
to the Northwestern States; but that
may in measure be due to the fact
that it is the old and conservative, we
might even say hackneyed, leaders
whose forecast have been sought and
received.
If we take, therefore, ten or twelve
forecasts of leading and representative
Democrats at tae North, and form a
composite" forecast from them 1t
would stand about as follows both for
their own party and for the oppo-
nents:

REPUBLICAN FORECAST FOR REpUBLI

From which it will be seen that the
Republicans are not quite so modest in
their claim 266 of the 444 electoral
votes, which would be 43 votes more
than are required to elect. while, as
we say, the Democrats only claim 240
votes, or II more than are required to
elect.
What will strike most people as
peculiar in the Republican forecast for
their own side is that the only thing in
sight which they don't lay hold of is
Indiana. They stuff their list with
such States as Connecticut, Iowa. Kan
sas, Nebraska, Virginia. West Virginia
aud Wisconsin; and. taking all these.

tainty cast an anti republican vote, they
surely might have grabbed Indiana as
well. IL is almost wonder. too, that
they didn't claim Louisiana with the
rest; there is an independent" move

which might have given them an OPEN
ing to class it with Virginia and West
Virginia in the Radical category.

A Northern paper says that Jadge
Tourgee's Efforts to still up strife be-
tween the races in the South is so
much appreciated by the colored
people Of New Orleans that they
have presented him With handsome
testimonial, the handwork of colored
women in this city. 1t is in the
shape of a laprobe of silk, and is
altogether the work of the donors,
from tile spinning and weaving of
the silk to the embroidering of the
design and the Judges monogram,
which is said to be a specially hand
some and artistic piece of work. A
letter sent with the robe thanks the
Judge for his efforts on behalf of
the colorea race. They might bet
ter thank somebody else that those
efforts have not so far borne the
bloody fruit that Judge Tourgee is
SO anxious to see produced. Plea
yune.
Judge Tourgee is talented crank,
his hobby is hatred towards South
ern whites Unfortunately, and
total Indifference as to what becomes
of the blacks in the event of the
whites being prosecuted because of
his teachings. He is sectional
firebrand of the most bitter and I'M
relentlng .nasure. IT'S a pity the
colored race cam OF see through his
