Tie friends of suffrage reform can
look only to the Democratic party for
relief from the dangerous conditions
which so seriously initiate against hon
est elections aud which threaten re-
turn to negro domination. Under these
conditions Louisiana is now the only
State where it is possible for a few
white mtn to array the negroes in po-
lltical ombination against the masses
of the whites, The people can now de-
liver their State from such an evil if
they only vote for the suffrage amend
ment which is now being supported
10y the Democratic party. To vote for
the negro Republicans and the Popu-
lists will be to perpetuate the condi-
tions which are now so serious, be-
cause they are SO dangerous to the best
interests OF the State--N. O. Picayune.

There are three Democratic news
papers published in the parish of ST.
Landry-two at the county seat, Ope-
lousas-but Secretary OF State Adams
passed them all by. and is publishing
the proposed constitutional amend
ments in Popnlist paper at Washing
ton, the first number of which was is
sued on the 10Th Decem Der last. These
amendments must be published every
week for three months, and as they are
very lengthy, the bill for their publca-
ton will amount to several hundred
dollars. Thus we have the spectacle of
the patronage of Democratic admin
istration being bestowed upon one Of
it's bitterest assailants, which is waging
fierce and relentless war upon every
thing Democratic. This is not an iso-
lated case, however, for we believe that
every Populist paper in the State has
been similarly favored by onr Demo
cratic" Secretary Of State. Mr.. Adams
and those by whose advice he was
guided in making these selections
should no longer pose as Democrats.
An open enemy is more entitled to res
pect than a skulking foe.

tainly hits the nail on the head" when
it says: "This State has got to be ruled
by the white race at any and all odds.
Nobody desires to harm u hair on the
nigger's head nobody desires to de-
prlve him of his civil rights in our
courts; nobody desires to curtal his
liberty or take his life or to spoIiate his
property. Indeed, under the admins
tration of the Democratic party the ne
groes of Louisiana have been better off
than they have been since they were
emancipated. Under Republican rule,
their lives were unsafe; they were
being constantly led by rascally white
men into antagODism to the white men
and getting killed and always the ne
gro went down before the white man.
But 1t seems they are not satisfied
they will not rest content unless they
can govern the State, unless they are
permitted to overmatch the white peO-
Pile OF Louisiana by their black mass of
vice, ignorance and pauperism And
now they are permitting Mr.. Leonard
and Judge Beatle, two old bulldozers and
nlgger- together with a lot of su-
gar planters, whose whole aim is gov
ment bounty or support for sugar, to
lead them into combine out of which
they will get nothing but trouble and
the cold shoulder after the election is
over. Entertaining the kindest feel
ings for onr coored population, we ad-
wise them to steer clear of this mise
rable business. Neither the planters
nor the Populists, nor Kellogg and
Leonard, nor WarmotI and Beattie
care one cent for their interests beyond
securing their vOtes.'
