years ago from Pennsylvania, and !
have never yet seen : fair election

PARISH FEUDS.

II m argument in favor OF the
suffrage amendment were wanted,
the condition OF the affairs In East
Baton Rouge, St. Landry and JET
ferson would furnish it. In Ill
these parishes there is political
chaos to the great injury OF the
Democracy and the white people !;
and in the latter two, there are
ominous threats that may easily lead
in the heat Of the political excite
ment, to serious riots. A moments
consideration will show that il We
had the suffrage amendment to-day
it would prevent Ill the difficulties,
aud these elections in the parishes
would pass on quietly. peacefully
and honestly, with every chance
that the best man would be elected
BY the intelligent voters, but IS
long - the ignorant and purchas-
able negroes remain voters, so long
will they encourage and bring
about political feuds among tue
whites, and so long will they be
. temptation of ambitious whites to
betray the Democracy in order to
win the support Of the negro voters
This has been the case with one Of
the factions In St. Landry, and both
factions in East Baton Rouge; in
fact, such is the scramble for the ne
groes in these two parishes, that Ill
the Democratic factions are nearly
breaking their necks in their wild
eagerness to prove that they are
opposed to the Democratic plalt-
form, and ready to knife the suf-
1t4&e Amendment.
The condition Of affairs in these
three parishes is worse than else
where in the State; but : number
OF others are drifting in that direc-
ton, and the disease must ultimate
" spread, unless We cure it now
by adopting the amendment, to al
parts Of the State. As long -
there are several thousand negro
voters in every parish to be bought
either With money or political
promises, SO long will there be
white men or factions to buy them.
It has been suggested that :
primary might cure the disease
without rasorting to the amendment.
but our experience IN these very
parishes proves the contrary. 4
white primary may occasionally
heal differences, but the medicine
will become weaker and less effec-
tive every election-it is weak
enough to-day, IS We can easily
see. It is impossible to confer the
ballot on men so ignoraant that
they do not understand its value,
or go corrupt that they appreciate
it only for what 1t will bring In
cash, and have decent politics. A
class OF voters like these will not
only corrupt our politics, but they
will in time. eventually lead to >
division in the ranks Of the whites,
such Is We now see in half . dozen
parishes, and to ultimate bloodshed,
for white men are not likely to
peacefully submit to be controlled
and dominated through negro voters
They would not stand this from
the Republicans, and they will not
stand it from = faction calling them
selves Democrats. - Times-Demo
