PaIpabIe Fraud Condoned.

The state central committee of the
Democratic party of Louisiana has
gone on record as not only counte-
nancing and condoning a paipaoly
fraudulent primary election, but in Ell
feet indorsing and approving this
open perversion of the popular will OF
it's own party-this grand larceny OF
the Democratic electorate.
Notwithstanding the plain and un-
contraverted evidence submitted IN
substantiation Of Hon. James J. Bal
ley'5 claim that he received large
majority OF the votes cast at the pri-
mary of Feb. 25 for the office OF lieu
tenant governor. and that the appar-
ens majority OF 1786 shown for his op-
produced by the most glaring frauds,
the state committee decided, by vote
OF Al 70 q. not TO go behind these dis
honest returns, and TO accept them as
final proof OF the result of the election.
This conclusion, reached at a second
session OF the state committee on
Wednesday, after the failure OF an at
tempt to secure the withdrawal of both
the candidates for lieutenant COVER
nor, followed the precedent set by the
Louisiana general assembly in refusing
to go behind the returns of the state
election of 1896 which falsely setforth
the success of the Democratic ticket,
whereas in fact and truth this ticket
had been decisively beaten at the
polls.
While tho adoption OF . resolution
requesting the district attorney OF Or
leans parish and the attorney general
Of the state TO prosecute the election
officers at whose polls fraud was com
mitted, win be Vociferously cited by
uperserVieeable apologists and de-
tenders as indication OF the commit
tees virtuous inclin ations, this weak
and perfunctory disclaimer cannot
erase the stigma that must rest upon
the Democratic state committee-aad
through it upon the Democratic
party of Louisiana-by reason Of the
committees confession of its unwilI-
ingness to correct fiagrant fraud and
repair palpable wrongs committed in
a party contest conducted under the
committee direction and control.
It is pu Grille to contend that the com
mittee could not review aud throw
out the false and fraudulent returns if
it chose to do SO. Ii this hUnora bic
and proper course had been pursued,
popular opinion would have so
strongly backed up the committee that
it is doubtful if any candidate would
have had the hardihood to attack the
decision. The plain pres ption is
that the leaders and bosses Of the
Democratic machine didn't wish to 90
behind the returns. They wanted MIR.
Lambrenont, not Mr.. Bailey, to the
nominee for lieutenant governor. Ii
the situation had been reversed in this
respect; and if their man was the vic
Tim OF the frauds, With the other fell
low as the beneficiary, does anyone
seriously doubt that these bosses and
their subservient ajority would have
promptly gone behind the dishonest
returns and corrected the Justification
of the popular will? or that the same
distinguished partisan attorneys who
cow gravely indorse tie committee
action would, under the reversed con
diCions just suggested, as readily and
impresslvely approve decision 10
investigate and aanul the fraudulent
returns?
