Excerpt from The Louisiana Adjustment: Abstracts of the Evidence of Governor Kellogg's Election in 1872, and the Frauds of the Fusionists To enable our Republican friends in Congress to clearly understand all the main points involved in the Louisiana case down to its very latest developments, this statement has been compiled: 1 - giving a birds eye view of the condition of political parties in the State preceding and during the canvass of 1872; 2 -showing the relative strength and popularity of the two candidates for Governor, Kellogg and McEnery; 3 - giving a synopsis of the leading frauds perpetrated by the Warmoth officials in forging, changing and suppressing the returns of the votes actually cast, so as to make it appear that McEnery and not Kellogg had been elected; 4 - instituting a comparison of the vote of 1872 with the vote of 1874, showing by the figures, even as claimed by the Democrats themselves, Kellogg's election in 1872; 5 - giving a recital of the persistent efforts made by Kellogg to have the returns fairly canvassed, and McEnery's equally persistent refusals and evasions; 6 - narrating a history of the rise and progress of adjustment, text of the protocol agreed to and all that it implies, and, 7 - showing that McEnery and the Democratic party, State and National, are estopped by the terms of that protocol and the award made there-under from any further prosecution of their claims as against the present State Government, "known as the Kellogg Government." Attitude Of Parties In 1872. The relative position of political parties in the presidential and State elections in 1872 will be best explained by the following brief summary of political movements. Early in the campaign two conventions were called to meet in the city of New Orleans. One was convened by the Democrats, and after a turbulent session, nominated John McEnery, of Monroe, for Governor.

“Let chaos come.” The violent election of 1872 that serves as a warning for today's divided politics. From CNN’s Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash, the fast-paced story of the extraordinary election that led to hundreds of murders, warfare in the streets of New Orleans, two governors of Louisiana—and changed the course of politics in our country. The Election of 1872 was the most contentious in American history. After both parties complained of corruption, neither candidate would concede, two governors claimed office and chaos erupted. Rival newspapers engaged in a bitter war of words, politicians plotted to overthrow the government, and their supporters fought in the streets and attempted assassinations. The entire country watched in grim fascination as the wounds of the Civil War were ripped open and the promise of President Grant’s Reconstruction faltered in the face of violent resistance and the birth of the Ku Klux Klan. In this riveting book, Dana Bash and David Fisher tell the incredible, little-known story of the election that pushed democracy to the breaking point, and sparked historic events including: The Colfax Massacre, in which at least 150 Black men were killed by white supremacists The extraordinary train race from New York to New Orleans for control of the state government The election of the first black Congressman from Louisiana in the face of violent resistance The Supreme Court ruling that ended Reconstruction and became the foundation of Southern segregation, changing the American legal system for the next century Readers will find eerie parallels to today's divided political landscape and leaders willing to seize power no matter the cost. An eye-opening warning of what's at stake and what it takes to protect our democracy, this is a must-read tale of America's deadliest election.
