New ORLEANS, July a, 1913.
Sir-The glory Of the immortal Hero OF the Hermit
age 10 forever established the plains Of Chamette
Under his eyes the banners of British Whggery are
trampled Under his flag the enemies Of Democracy
are routed horse and foot The people of Louisiana
are beginning to do justice to the ustrious whose
name is the chief ornamen Of her history None can
know the spell bch he has upon the hearts of Loui-
sianians, without having yesterday witnessed the con.
6ict at our polls. A conflict during which, for The
first time, riot and disorder have disgraced our city
Heretofore the Wings have been accustomed to walk
over the course and things conducted peaceaby
and quietly; but on this occasion, the imposing array
Of the Democratic phalanx spread dlsmay IN every quar-
ter The Wings clustered wherever they felt they
could conquer and in the place of defeat sought tc
| infict bloody noses.
In this contest, four Democratic Representatives.
the entire dclegation-hsve been returned TO the U
States Congress from Lousana-a result predicted by
the Democrat, and universally secuted by the Wings
defeat which The wealth, ingenuity and desperation
of Whiggery never can efface The votes which have
secured this glorious triumph, have secured greater
triumph still, unirers al sufToge-and from this time
forward Louisiana will stand in the front rank of De
mocrac States
The causes of the result Of this Congressional cleo
tion apart from general political considerations, are sc
manifest, that he who runs may read. Wing wealth
was used with customary profusion banks were active
in the canvass; Wing Legislature had just gerry
wandered the State; Wing falsshood and Wing fraud
were bountiful ingredients in their political compen
dunn Yet, notwithstanding ALL the rout is so univer
SAL as 10 leave no spot wherein the defunct coon ear
be placed for the Wings TO exercise upon him their gal
vanic batteries.
And first among the causes Of their extpation Is the
course pursued in The United States Senate, BY the
Senator representing State in relation 10 the bi
for refunding the fine imposed on General jackson
For his violent attack on Andrew Jackson, MIR. Con-
rad has been rewarded by thorough knowledge Of the
extent of that great mans fame and nfuence-hrst
thanked by his constituents, they afterwards betrayed
him, and by their censure, have compelled him to seek
consolation in travel And before long he will hear
the shores OF Europe the response Of the indignant
pie 10 his ignoble speech against that BILL Whiggery
is becoming conscious Of it's temerity. 1t first
pauded Mr.. Conrad's speech-then the people hun.
dered their indignation, and then the alarmed Wings
betrayed Mr.. Conrad, and sent Judge Porter to the
u. S. Senate. Now the overwhelming catastrophe
has arrived, and the nfamy which they visited upon
their public servant is justly extended TO themselves.
And next among the causes Of their exlirpaton is
their own during the legislative of 1912
BY qualifying hundreds of persons raudulenty, ten
Orleans. giving to the Wings majority in the legisa-
ture. Vigorous measures were al begun by the
Democratic candidates to sci aside the election. Three
hundred and sixty adavts presented TO the House
in proofof many frauds. The candidates elect were
proved guilty of themselves procuring these frauds;
notwithstanding which they maintained their seats, and
by their votes declared the election valid Their
acts have reooed upon themselves and led TO their
tire prostration.
But the grand cause Of their defeat the progress Of
Democratic truth throughout the country And nothing
essentially aests that progress than the fact that
the people of this Wing State have at last decided for
the calling Of Convention, which is TO amend the
Constitution.
The thunder Of Louisiana will soon reverberate in
every section Of the Union State will follow State in
sending back shouts, and PROSTATE Whiggery will
not be resuscitated for forty years TO come.
Yours, IL.
