maintained at all hazards.
The newspapers throughout the State
are speaking out plainly on the political
situation. The Natchitoches Enter
prise says:
The active participation of the negro
IN the politics of the parish means riot,
disorder and boodshed Woe to the
negroes OF this parish should gun ever
| be fired. The Democratic party stands
| pledged to settle their political differ
ences among the white people of this
parish by the white vote fairly and
fully expressed and fairly ascertained.
And the Democratic party of this par
lsh stands equally pledged that the ne
gro shall take no part in that settle
ment. And it there be any white man
within the boundary of this parish,
white mans parish as it is, who will
stand up and advocate the voting of a
2lst next, we want him to declare his
name that he may be marked as an enc
my OF bis people, a traitor to his conn-
try and one who advocates IL ign of
rapine, riot and bloodsheh.
The New Iberia Enterprise says:
AS the time draws near to the day of
unai contest between tDo DemOcfAtIc
party and its allied enemies in this par
ish, the more apparent it becomes that
victory will perch upon the Democratic
bYnner. Since the treachery of the So
| called Cade Democrats has become ap-
parent by the dickering between them
and the so-ca!led national Republicans,
Que end of which sought to introduce
the negro vote into the contest, the true
Democrats all over the parish have been
abandoning the rotten structure aud
falling into the ranks where 30 false
colors are displayed. The changes
have been so marked and rapid that it
is doubtful that if the opposition would
carry single ward in The parish if the
election was to take place even next
Tuesday.
