Show Republicau Admissiou of Fruud. Chicago, 15, Tribune's Washing- ton: Kepcated assertions in Louisiana dispatches that the stale is republican without excluding bnlldogged parishes, par-ishes, alarm the 'democrats, who begin be-gin to fear that while they have been preparing to watch the state returning board the parish canvassers havo beeu manipulating returns and manufacturing manufac-turing majorities. Their only recourse is before the returning board, but unfortunately un-fortunately tho northern democratic delegatiau while sce-king partisan advantage, virtually tied their own hands, yesterday, when tbey insisted upon ft count of the vote actually cast. They cannot consistently invoke the powers of the board to exclude the votes of local.boards, which they bo-lieve bo-lieve fraudulent. They havo already urged republicans to unite with them in insisting that tbo board disregard the law aud lake no cognizance ot allegations of fraud and intimidation, and it would be strange if their own medicine should make them sick. GOOD WORD FOR GRANT. General Benjamin A. Wells, democrat, demo-crat, of New York, who defeated L. P. Morton for congress, had a lengthy interview with President Grant today, to-day, and was very favorably impressed. im-pressed. The talk was on the situation. situa-tion.
