The Recommendations upon the truly gallant Captain
were well merited. He had brought his splendid

But we have other proofs In the New Orleans Natipc
.ansericsn Of July l, 1896 we find the following:

Here Is the difference:
while Captain Hufty was risking every thing-fe
business and aat the head Of avounteer Corps organ
iaed BY himself chsstise for insoense and aggression
Mr. Bell remained in New Orleans prosperous merchant
making money al the time He may have been fully
patriotic as Captain H. but his faith and bis deeds didnot
correspond
The veters New Orleans may now make up their own
Judgment as to the respective claims of the two gen
tlemen.
