Mr.. Editor of the New Orleans ReDub-
lcan: Great has been surprise at reading in the
columns Of your paper of the 18th instant that you
had been Informed that at convention Of the Rad
ical Republicans, held on the llth instant, Don A.
Pardee, ESQ.,, nominated for Judge of the Second
Judicial District, composed of the parishes of Jeer
son, st. Bernard, and Plsquemines."
In answer to the above, we beg leave to enter our
formal protest:
I. Because we never voted at said Convention.
z. Because the parishes represent are emitted
to respect and consideration by their territorial e1
tent and their population, as well as ior their unity
of action in past elections.
Because 1t is unjust and u kind thst the parish
Of jefferson should cram upon the party candidates
for both Offices
candidate whom shall support at all hazards for
the judgeshlp, is man identified with our populR
ton Of thirty years practice in the law, in every
respect able, loyal true to our political principles
back to 1874 and James L. B6lden, of Jefferson, our
candidate for the gttorneyship, is also gentleman
of marked ability loyalty and fully qualified in every
| respect and
| trict demand for said offices candidates versed IN
| the French and English languages.
! 1t would appear that the deegationo of the Parish
of Jefferson little needing these local requirements
and sanguine to impose upon the privilege Of the
majority, has assumed the right to exclude u.s. the
representatives OF st. Bernard and Piaquemines
from any participation in the choice Of candidates
Bat let them,beware. for the voice Of the minority
shall be heard when the time comes for it to give
| vent TO its ex preston.
