III have already, through this medium, announc-
ed myself candidate for the office of RECORDER,
and now the impracticabiity of thoroughly canvas
sing the parish before the day Of election forces me
through the vehicle to solicit respectfully the
support of my friends and fellow citizens. In fact,
residence for nineteen years in the parish would en-
tirely supersede the necessity of making mere can
vass-acq workmanship with the people, We're it not
that CUSTOM on such occasions has made the course
obligatory. urge no claim to the office, oyer that OF
my worthy competitors, save such my friends may
think possess.
Daring eight years service clerk of the district
court and many years of social and commercial inter-
course with my fellow citizens, they have had ample
opportunity of learning whether or not possess the
habits of life, business capacity, industry, degree of
legal knowledge and familiarity with legal forms,
involved in fitness for and competency to fill, SO
responsible an office. Should they deem me worthy
and elect, will try and manifest my gratitude for so
fattering demonstration fgood opinion, by pune
tusl fulflment of the duties of the Office.
