Speech and political currents in the South and Louisiana politics
The piece surveys Robert B. Elliott’s eloquent speech on race and southern industry, the Bayard lineage rumor, and the exodus of Black workers affecting Southern production. It then outlines a critical review of Louisiana political maneuvers, election fraud claims, Democratic control in state offices, and federal political dynamics, ending with a forecast on the Presidents message and a speculative note on Grant and a proposed canal venture led by influential financiers.
