The People Should Adopt It

The Nathez Democrat, in brief
ly noting the proposed amend
ments to the constitution of Lou
isiana, takes occasion to commend
the spirit of progress among our
people as indicated by these
amendments, and advises the vo-
tiers of the State to endorse them
as whole. The suffrage amend
ment is one that excites most in
terest among the voters Of the
State, and a heavy fight will be
concentrated against it all along
the line. Six months ago almost
every newspaper in Louisiana ia
vored the adoption Of the amend
ment, and now, under the errone-
Gus impression that numbers of
white men will be DISTINGUISHED
under its operations, fierce oppo-
sition has arisen in every section
of the State, and a most determi-
ned effort will be made to defeat
it. The effect of the amendment
will be to disfranchise fully nine
ty per cent of the negroes of the
State and thus to place our State
government securely in the hands
of the white men. AS long as
ignorant and venal negroes exer.
else such a preponderating infiu.
ence upon our politics, we cannot
hope to be delivered from fraud
and intimidation in our elections.
So long as a large purchasable
element persist in placing them
selves in the shambles there will
always be found men weak enough
to purchase the proffered vote ra.
Their than be beaten in the contest
and the only way in which we can
rid ourselves of this promoter OF
crime is to remove this spectre
from the pathway of our civiliza.
ton, and it will do it in such q
manner as will be perfectly fair tc
all.-Baton Rouge Advocate.

SATURDAY MARCH Z, 1896.
A Note Of Warning.

termeddier In the poIltlcal aHalrs
of a sister parish, and actuated
solely by a sincere regard for the
welfare of the city of Baton
Rouge, we feel constrained to
sound a note of warning to the
Democrats of that city and parish
who are just now engaged in a
contest that is shocking and dis
gustihg the good people of the en-
tire State. AS long as the fight
in Baton Rouge was conducted
along the lines of ordinary politi-
cal decency, and while there was
= chance to at least save the De-
hocratic State ticket from the
shame and ignominy of a crush
ing defeat in the parish in which
The capital of Louisiana is located,
the contest concerned no one, save
and excepting the people of Ba-
ton themselves.
But the political conditions now
existing in that unfortunate par
fish have become matters in which
the Democracy of the whole State
fs, to a certain extent, interested.
It makes little or no difference
Now which of the two warning fac
tons that is primarily responsible
for the damnable scenes that have
occurred and are almost daily Oc-
curing on the streets of Baton
Rouge. For one crowd to de-
hounce the methods employed by
the other faction would be a bad
case of the pot calling the kettle
black. The leaders on both sides
seem to have been pretty well
tarred with the same stick.
In their foul and nauseous
scramble for office, the politicians
who have brought on this dis
graceful state of affairs forget or
ignore the fact that, all other con-
siderations eliminated, they owe
certain obligations to the Demo
cracy of the State. 1t is the De-
mocratic party that crushed out
the reign of the carpet-bagger and
restored and maintained white
supremacy; it is the Democratic
patty that has given us good 60
vernment in State and parish; it
is 10 the Democracy, in short, that
We are indebted for all the bless
ihgs we enjoy to-day; and, above
all things, it is the Democratic
patty that removed that State Ca
pital from New Orleans to Baton
Rouge.
The change in the seat of 60
terhment to it's present location
was accomplished in the face of
considerable opposition, emana-
ting not only from New Orleans,
but other portions of the State.
The opposition to the capitol re-
manning in Baton Rouge has been
shown during recent sessions of
the Legislature, when bills we're
introduced providing for it's reno
val to New Orleans. If certain
feports which reach us from diff
ferent portions of the State be
trie-and we see no reason to
doubt their correctness-the feel
Ing in favor of removal is gaining
In strength, intensified, no doubt,
by the political conditions now ex-
listing in our sister parish.
If, therefore, it shall come to
pass that the Democratic State
ticket is butchered in East Baton
Rouge and two republicans are
sent to the Legislature; if, We re.
