JA Fair Count for
1879.
HOW IT WAS DN01E IN 1870.
An Odious Comparison.
In the year of our Lord 1870, John
S. Chaplman of thre State of Maine,
was Supervlsor of Rlegistratiotn for
the parish of East Baton Route, ill
Louisiialna. 'T'o do the "fair tihing"
for the good pleople of the latter
State, the Warinoth Legislatur'e had
e(.na'cted alan electionl law, which was al
marvel of ingenuity. The registrar
undoer its provisions was the "(Ilrand
Mogul" within the scope of hi+s do
Illn;ill ; it was he who designatldil t.he
polling phlces, named the ward'con
rlissioiners of election; and lastly,
the boxes were hroulghlt to his head
qlur'tters, where the ballots were
couutel:d Itt his leisu're, 1,oli ~ l('such
WitIInesses as it was his good plieasure
to rall in.
As wo have' already stated Cl(:tp
man was the "hon'le(st John" who, was
"rlnning the election namchiii'" at
that period.
Let us118 see what happenlled:
I.ustead of having ia polling place,
at (,ach one of the twelve wards of
this parish, according to tie old cus
toIn, Chlapmani)U tihe virtuous New EIl
lander, adopted a difl'ornt plan. one
that he felt sure was bolund to :work
well. The mass of the colored 1oters
ilhal,it the western side of this parish
oI rather the river front, while the
whites lairgely ipredominatet, iin the Eas
torn or rear lportion. l ionest Joln had11(1
sierved us a Captain in a coloreil regi
ment in the late war, and was ihom0e
thing of a tcltician ; so be locatr:4l the
poills in a straitegic manner: Oho at
Port Ifudson, three at Baton Iounge,
anld the other two in the lower' river
warUds, all on i: linll, so that the voters
could get water without golng too(i far
out of the range of the bIallot :boxes.
This of course wtas for the collvein
icnce of his colored E'i(idls: The
"white trash" of the bac:kwoodsi might
either ride in to the river polls, or
stay at home, just to suit thlleiselves.
The cornsequence, was that the elec
tion on the first Monday in Novenll
her 1870, wat 1W if held in Ra jug,
with ti handile in long ,John'l hand.
With the exception of the whites
who lived near the polling places
there were hardly any other but col
ored mIen who voted on that dlly.
AnIId withal the I)eloei',afi were
not as happyl, as long John expected
theln to be. They were so uinreatson
able as to call him at scoundrel as he
panssetl them on the 1C1'et, even
when he bowed to thelrl with his
usual"exqluisite courtesy." A strange
weophle those rcbls are, hie i!rst have
thought, to Ie dissatislied with his ar
ralngerments to give "a free btllol and
a fatir 'ount at the polls."
Bltt they wcere angry neverthelsb.
Tile su1 sHlOIIe Ia, ri'alihlltly ill
Chaplran's inlterest, as it did fior Na
iohleon on tihe field ofAusterIlitz. The
bllloht boxes were brought to the

A ROBE BY ANOTHER NAME,
The deliberate attempt of the fude
pendent-Recpubhlen Fusionists to
have II. V. IltaInco, a notoriously in
fatuous colored scoundrel, appointed
an election conmissioner for the first
ward, by the Police Jury, ought to
satisfy the good people of this parish
that the cry for "a free ballot andt a
fair count at the polls," set up by the
Independent Republican combination,
is but a sham.
I is in the knowledge of every citi
z(en that liarancll has beenl associated
with every infinity perpetrated by the
Radical party in this parish.
A doer of dirty work at all times,
he caunsel many arrests of our resi
dents in the Clhaplnln riot of 1870,
and swore to unmitigated lies, if we
mistake not, during the trial of the
prisoners. 1io it was who, while a
commissioner at the second ward in
this city-acting under the lnstrue
tions of the villainous registrar Clov
er-did all in his power to create in
formalities, in order to have that
I)emocratic poll invalidated. Steal
ing away from the other commission
ers, with somle of the election papers
in his possession, it was only after a
diligent hunt that ihe was' found and
ilmade to sign the the tally-sheets. 'Then
hl followed tno rascal Clover to New
Orleans, where, before. the returning
hoard and the Congressional colupit
tees lie swore "black and blue"
against everything and everybody
here, with such a caroless disregard
for truth as would put to shatme the
most hardened felon.
We could raise a regiment of men
here, white and colored, who would
swear that they would not believe
hiat under oath.
'lThe Ilnlai of Charles U. Pages, one
of the most respectable colored Re
publicans ill our city, was objected to
by the Independents, though Mr.
Pages is known to have lerformed
the ditties of commissioner for years
past in a ntautner that has given per
fect confitdelce in his honesty and
ability. ''his for the purpose of sub
stituting the shameless l{adical stri

If anythilng is calculated to open
the eyes of outr people, as to thlie na
tutr of the coalit.in elli'cted betweenl
the Indeipendents and the ultra Had
icals of this parish, that ,act ought to
do it!
People of astI Batont Rouge, tlhe
eo\idonee is beloro you..You can easi
ly foretell what this tmovenent iieaiis.
It takes no p)rophet to see that ero
long the worst element of the old
Radical party will again fasten its
blighting clutches around you in the
watke of the Ihlcel,eldets. Forttu
nattly, theI effort of securling such
honest judq!les of the election hits been
firustratedl, anid we wrill have "a free
ballot and ait fair colunt !"
WONDERS WILL SEVER CEASE.
An effort was made on last Tes
day at tihe mieeting of our Police Jury
to knock Jcfflbrson's Manillal in a
cocked hlat. An interestinig motion
to lay oni the table a resolution, rela
ting to the alppointment of Conmnnis
sioners ofElection had been made.
()n a call of the yeas and nays fivo lni
depe(idelnts had voted in the afllrin
tive, alnd four I)Cnmocrats in thenega
tive. At this jnllIctlure the fiaces of
ollr Inlldependntsllt, were radiant with
smiles. Th''.ey had it. lBtt the worthy
h'resident stated that thelC otion to
table, was lost, as lie would vote in
lthe negative, makinig a tie. A fiery
Independent arose olbjecting that the
I'esidHlCent couil( not vote except to
decide a tie votc, Itt the worthy
President, Mr. Gardere, who is a stiff
back Democrat, explained that hlo
represen neud the Whli ward, atid lie felt
quite sure lhe was not disfrlanchised by
tihe faict that hle was Chairman. Tihe
fiery Intdependent t aplpealed from his
decision. And the .nmbcers very
prolperly decided that the 8th wvard
had a perfect right to have its "say
0so" inl the matter.
Our old ''humi" Addison, of the
Abbovillo Mleridional comes out in a
tirade of half a column in lemtgth, in
response to'the advice we gave him
to eithcr take dlownl the ])emocratic
ticket from his tnast head, or sillpport
it cordially, as lie was whimlipering
considerably alout it. lie goes on to
explaini his Jacksonian I)emocracy
with vie ws firon, which Jefferson dif
fered very miaterially.
Before the nomnination Addison,
we ipresent all the objections that we
have against a candidate. After
wards, we fee.l in ,honor bond to
standl upl to the nomince, teeth anl
toe nails, laind like the historic "great
big Dutclnan," we shouldero our ,irse
ket, dowes on Jackson esqure. By the
1,by, we niotice tlhat we arc not alone
in entertaining such views as no less
a person, than thie chivalrous Frcd.
N. Ogdcn, acts up to that theory.
You are getting to le a growler, old
!boy, clse the whiskey is bad at Ab

What will they say of East Baton

the most rahid \VWhite Leaguers, are

amontg the iladicas.
GOD HELPS THOSE WHO fELP
TEdMBELVES,
If there is a parish in the State
whose duty it is to vote for the Dem
ocratic ticket, it should be that of East
Baton Rouge. '
In the first. place, Democratic gov
ernment, has restored law and order in
our midst, and. has reelved us of the
political adventurers who bad well
nigh exhausted every resource of our
people.
A Convention composed of 103
Democrats to 81 Opposition represen
tatives, has framed a Constitutlone
that will limit the State tax to 6 mills,
when Reptblican rule at one time
exacted 211.
Monopolies ar'e forbidden in the fu
ture.
The expOenses of the State govern
ment Will be reditced a million dollars
anntually.
A homestead of two thousand dol
lars will be guaranteed to each head
of a family, whether residing in town'
or country.
The onerous cost of litigation will
be reduced so that our poorest citizens
can obtain redress before our Courts.
The rights of all classes of citizens,
property holders as well as mechanics
and laborers, are protected in the
most effective manner.
Above all this,we are indebted main
ly to thlDemocracy for re-establish
ing the Capital at Baton Rouge,
where our good people had located it
prior to the war; whereas military and
Itelublican rule had taken it away,
and along with it, the prosperity of
our section.
There can be no question but what
we ought to sustain by our votes the
party that proposes to do so much for
our parish and city.
Can we expect a Democratic admin
istration and legislature to facilitate
us in restoring the Capital to our city,
if we are so ungrateful as not to con
tribute our share in placing them in
power.
Can we fail to see that a large num
ber of our mechanics and laboring
ncen will have the opportunity afford
ed them to obtain employment here
next year, either in rebuilding the
Capitol or repairing the property of
our citizens, which will have greatly
iicreanwed in value, through the assist
ance of the I)emocratic party.
Is it patriotic, is it right, that we
should jeopardize all these objects,
in the success of which all our people
are so deeply interested, for the sole
purpose of electing two or three fit
vorites to some local oflices that will
bcnefit nobody but themselv~is
We owe it to the State, the Demo
cratic party, and to ou rstclrce to vote
as one man for Governor Wiltz and
the balance of the ticket State and
Parochial.
Surely neither Beattic nor our local
Ildpclendent-lRepubhcans, cant do us
any goold InI return for the yotes that
will bo thrown away upon thenm.
I'People of lhaton Rouge you cannot
afford tile luxury of defeating theDo
mocracy at this time.
THE BIGHTS OF THE COLOBED
PEOPLE,
At this moment, when Independent
candidates allied to the ultra HRadlicals
are endeavoring to array the colored
pieople of this paridsh against their
l)cnmocratic friends, we deem it op
portunio to bring up undeniable evi
donee to prove that tie right of suf
frage, free frolm any restriction, was
inserted in thie new Constitution by
thie votes of thlle )enmocratincmtoibers,
or thle sixty-cight votes necessary for
tihe ilnal adoption of the orditnanco !y
the Convention. IHere stanrds tilhe
On Tuesday, July 25d, 1870, the
spcial order of the day, ordinance
No. 413:, concerning suflfrage and elec
tions, was taken up on third reading.
Mr. Blauclhard moved that a separ
ate vote he takenll on Article 2.
The nmotion was lost by a rising
vote of 26i yeas to 50 nays.
On mnotion the reading of tlhe ordi
nance in detail was dispensed with.

resulted as follows:

Thie above shlows beyond question
that wtithout tlhe aid of a single IRepub.
can vote, the right to afree balkit was
guaranteed to the colored man BY THE
I)EoctATrrrc represoentatives of the
people of Louisiana.
In view of this positive action, it
does seem to us that our colored vo
ters, ought to treat with thecontempt
they deserve, all those who, for e
1#wdngWe0aPg (po l4eNWf reo itt
oft repeated slander, that if the Dem-i
ocrats get in power they will deprive
them of th$r ight4 as . ,.
It will 61.0 be o rv4that in tds
instance, (Ov. W irLs, oir galUtt
standard bearer req ed this .name
among the De9Pocrat' votlig ihfthe

Tho Democratic party of this par
ish, will ever be thankful to Messrs.
Gardero, Carnenar;)iontegudo,'Nes
bit. and GrahAm, ifor the firmness
they displayed In the Police Jur'y
room, on last Tuesday,. in opposing
the appointment of. kuch com.
missioners of e'letion as. tI notori
ous fBaranco,. for whom ihe. Ind·e
pendent members had voted. solidly.
By this aetion a comptomise was
effected which saved our first war4
from the disgrace that would have
been inflicted upon itfby uiach a se
lection. Mr. Millicau also deserves
credit for voting against the resolution
giving a commissioner to each the In
dependents and the.ltepublicns, who
are one, as they have united their
forces against the Democratic party.
In the Third Ward they tell us,
that at Thoemsen's store the "happy
family" held a meeting on last Satur
day evening; on which occasion Mr.
Booth, the candidate for Sheriff, told
'em in substance that he was a Demo
crat ;ýd Oscar Berhel who aecoim
panielliim,said he was a Ropu lican.
Despite this great differ6nce, the two
speakers agreed that it was the duty
of their listeners to vote the Indo
pendent-Republican ticket. The beau
ty of the combination is that a man
can get any kind of politics he wants
in that bag. Big and little, all can
come in, as no money is asked at the
door.
You object said the Democratic
Police Juror Graham, to his Indepen
dent colleague, Mr. Perron, that I
have submitted a full list of names
for Commissioners. How is it that
instead of:offering to substitute some
names to those you object to, you pull
out of yoir vest pocket a full list for
the first ward, in lieu of mine I This
query was such a "clincher" that Mr.
Perron, we suppose, requires further
time, wherein to file his answer. By
the-by, Baranco was one on that last
list.
AN INQUIBY.
Perhaps the two Demderatic com
missioners stationed at poll 2, of this
city, can remember some of the incl
denfe of the election of 1876. If so
we would ask them to state whether
the following extract regarding the
conduct of said election is true:
"At poll No. 2 there were two Demo-r
oratic commissHRioners, and men were al
lowed to vote whose anmes were not on
the poll list, others were allowed to vote
with registration papern hearing names
different froll thile llne of the votter pre
senting thenm. There was a crowdl of
Demnocrats hanging around the poll,
hal loi ng and geneOrally intiuidating thfe
Republican voters.
(Sworn to) " i, V. BAluNco.
People of East Baton Rouge don't
you know that Taylor Beattie is
workinlg to defeat the Constitution
and the Capital in our city. Will
you support him and the Independ
eunt-Republican combination that is
at work organizing votes to be thrown
away on himnt .
How cau we have "a free ballot
and a fair count at the polls" said an
old colored lady the other day, if tihe
Ildpndependent-Republicans have flaileid
to ilave "honest Baranco" appointed
comimissioner in the first ward I
What a pity she added, that Mr.
Clover is done gone, he was such a
fair man about elections.
"A free bdllot and a fair count at
the polls," under the supervisiofl of
Beverly V. Baranco the man who ran
away with documents of the Sec
ond Ward at the election of 1876, is
what the Ilndependent-Republican
Fusion men wanted the Polhee Jury
to give them. Democrats how do you
