Honest Ballot Reform

N. o. States, Sept. 10.
1t is ardently to be hoped that amid
the exciting events which are going on
around us that our good people will
not lose sight of the importance of
keeping up a deep interest ia the great
cause of ballot reform. There never
was in the history of this or any other
State a measure which was so clamOr-
ously and unanimously demanded by
the people; and yet by a large majority
of the Legislature this measure was
slaughtered. 1t is true, the Legislature
did pass a ballot law; but it would be
mockery to call it a ballot reform law.
The authors of this miserable subter-
fuge claim that it is a reform but there
ID not an intelligent mar IN LOUISIANA
who does not know perfectly well that
it is a fraud and the very fact that it
was passed in preference to a genuine
reform bill should damn it i'll the minds
OF all men who believe in honest poll
tics, for the substitution was evidently
adopted with a view to ring control of
our next election. The authors of the
present act were not ever so courteous
as the Juggling fends that palter with
Us in a double sense and keep the word
of promise to our a and break it to
our hope, for there is not even q pre-
tense of reform !: the claws of the ballot
manipulation of both country and city
stick ont of it everywhere without con-
cealment. The claim that it is a reform
law, an honest law, is the coolest effrOn-
This wrong must be righted. Ballot
reform must be one of the battle cries
in the next State election. No man
should be voted for by an honest man
who is not pledged to advocate and
vote for a law that will eliminateLthe
ballot box suffer, the heeler and the
manipulation of false returns from Lou
isiana elections !; in short, who will not
promise honest elections.
Our politics have sunk to a low level
the standard of political morality has
been lowered !; the social standard must
follow the political unless fraud and
rascality are eliminated from our polit-
ical system. For many years it was
necessary to protect our property, liber-
ties and civilization by the introduction
of force at the ballot box. The neces-
sity for that, we believe, has passed,
and the evil should be burnt out of the
body polite.
We trust the Ballot Reform League
Of this city will keep up u vigorous or
ganization and be in a position to take
an active and aggressive part in the
next election. We trust its members
will MOI grow weary in we'll doing.
The League made a splendid fight while
the Legislature was in session, and
with the aid of the press aroused a glo-
rious enthusiasm throughout the whole
State for this important reform. An
other such a fight and Louisiana will
shed her covering of political shame
and corruption and take her place high
in the frat rnnks of her sister Statea in
this matter. Let the organization be
kept up. There is a lull in the battle
just now but there is no truce; it is
only a sullen pause from arms. Keep
high in the heavens the true banner of
reform; keep the ammunition dry
keep the guns sbotted and keep the
boys in the rifle pits. This great battle
should be fought out as it began, reso-
lutely and with enthusiasm.

There are very few houses in New
Orleans that enjoy the high reputation
that the old and we'll known firm of Jos.

popular establishment is ably represent

All the wspapers published in Col.
Robertson's parist-East Baton Rouge
favor the re- election of that gentle
mar to Congress. This speaks volumes
for the esteem in which he is held by
bis home people. His majority in his
home parish will be overwhelming. Ii
half the ill that is said of Col. Robert
son by his enemies we're true, some of
bis home people would have found it
out and his home support would not be
so nearly unanimous-that is. assuming
(and it is a fair assumption) that the
people there are no less virtuous and
intelligent than the people Of other
portions of the district.

Major Wilson. the nominee of the
Populites of this district, is a promi-
nent farmer of st. Landry parish and a
gentleman who has for several years
past been one of the leading spirits in
the farmers councils in that parish.
Major Wilson is a gentleman of COM
handing appearance. of superior INTEL
ligence, and altogether too good a citi-
zen to allow himself to become the lead
er of go illogical a Ruse. He appears
to be impressed with the justice of the
claims of his lately adopted party. and
while by no cal confident of his
election. he claims that his vote will
surprise the people in November. 1t is
generally thought here that his candi-
dacy will be about an Offset as between
Stone and Robertson-as it is probable
that he will somewhat break into Col.
Stones expected majority in St. Lam
dry, while it will also detract from Col.
Robertson's strength in the parishes

The game of base ball which took
place on the grounds of the Washing
ton Jockey club last Sunday between
the Opelousas Crescents and the Chicot
Hustlers was a very close and interest
ing one, at least until the 9Th inning,
when the Crescents made 6 points, more
than doubling their score and democrat
izing their opponents. At the end of
the 9th inning the score stood-Cres-
cents 10. Hustlers 8. A large crowd
was in attendance and the gate receipts
amounted to 1856 80, half of which went
to the winning club, who generously
paid the expenses of their defeated add
versaries. The official score WAS as fol-
lows:
