does not devolye on me US a duty to defend myself
against wanton, and conceive have shown such
unproroked attacks, might say insults, as those
above mentioned, and inform the public who it 10.
that thus assails me. W. B. 6hekon should re-
: member the old adage, they that I'VE in glass.
houses should be careful how thsys throw stones"
Perhaps W. B. Shelton has forgotten that he
went to R. w. Smart four years ago, and impor--
tuned him to run for the nomination as candidate
for the Legislature. Smart agreed to run If ii Was
the unanimous wish Of the people Of tile Ward.
Two days after at the Ward meeting Shelton pro :,
claimed himself candidate for nomination Smart
having only agreed to run in case IL was the unan-
imoas wish of the Ward, and finding there was OPP
position, withdrew bis name. The Democracy Of
the Ward rcpudiated Shelton b giving their votes
to James Andrews, Of Cotie.
Il will be borne in mind that this nomination
was made to- ll che the Vacancy on the ticket oc,
casioned BY the unfortunate death Of Mitehel Neal.
and that the Democracy OF the whole Parish con-
ceded the right to Meals Precinct, to. name his
successor. Il viii also be remembered that Il
that time Suction had scarcely been resident OF
the Parish SIX months. and thus by his purfdy he
caused the Withdrawal of an cid Democrat who
was one Of the first settlers Of Western Rapides.
and thus defeated the wish Of q large majority Of
the Democracy Of the Ward, and they ID turn re.
pudated him by giving the nomination to d gentle.
man out Of the Ward. gain, two years ago, ii il
well known that he e1ertsd all his tact and ctn-
ming to obtain an endorsement by The people Of
his Meals Precinct,but they again repudiated him
By sending delegates favorable to the nomination
Iof A. G. Smart tR. W. Smart having left the Par
ish.1 He then went to the Convention, and itis
asserted, tried In sain to find & delegate that
would nominate him. Be this as It MAY, IL Is s
certain fact, that he left nothing unturned to de.
feat sdaatt' BY urging many of the delegates NOT
to voteor him, falsely telling them that The PEG.
pie Of lis own Ward would not vote for him if he
was nominated.
81 is true Ae has denied this charge, but some Of
the deegates hare been seen since bis denial, and
they assert tat he denial is false, and if he de.
srcs 1t have no3doubt 1t can easily be proved to
be false.
This year, he again e1erts himself, leaving moths
iag andone, fair or FOUL to obtain the endorsement
of his precinct, but the Democracy again rcpudi.
ated him By al overwhelming majority He then
makes virtue OF necessity, and il the absence Of
any real cause, he seizes on an imaginary one and
makes great ado about the passage Of 4 ,esolu:
ton, the contents Of which must, and win be en-.
dorseds by every good Democrat and unprejudiced
Know Nothing in the Pafisk. For reason Of theS
passage Of this resolution and no other, that. be
has assigned, he makes war On the old usages and
organization Of the Democratic party hnd declares
himself an independent candidate, whercupon the

Wen sir, I DO not know that understand what hs

his creditors makes him independent ntht strictest
sense OF the word then admit il, hat must b
