From the Homer HAD
This trite quotation from Caesar we'll APP
plies to the recent visit of Governor War
moth to Homer. He came he saw, and he
conquered. Not a physical conquest, as
was the ease with. the great Roman. but
what is higher and far more noble, a con
quest of moral and logical force.
Last Wednesday was not only day of
triumph for the Rcpublica n party and Re
publican liberty in Homer, but ii was the
occasion of grand triumph for our people
generally. irrespective of party-lrrespcc-
tive Of race. color or previous condition.
We congratulate our whole people upon the
favorable auspices which went out III their
behalf from the exercises of that day. The
temper displayed on that occasion dld much
credit to our locality; mueh honor to our
people a mass, and went tar 10
sustain that high reputa ion for moral
ity and the observance Of the demands
of IA true civilization which should
be the aim and pride of c kerry cultivated
community: and which the people OF Homer
and of Claiborne parishes have never yet
amidst all the great phydic;il havoc and
moral and religious devastation which have
passed over our land, entirely lost sight of
In behalf of our party, in behalf OF the
common rights of man AMID the claims OF
a common liberty, and in bur own individ-
ual behalf. do we most heartily and sim
cerely thank our fc!lowc1tizens upon the
manly and generous spirit in which they
received aud greeted or!r distinguished
Chief Executive of State, du his recent and
first visit among us.
We have no disposition tb dwell IN detail
and at length in an exnitaItt spirit upon the
happy political success Of the able and
manly speeches of Gove-n@ r Warmoth and
General Sheridan. We are willing 70 leave
the fruits undisturDed upon the waters OF d
common intelligence to bu waited over the
minds OF our people. TO bear apples OF
gold wherever there is SOIL Sufflcient Tor
the seeds OF truth and real son 10 take root
and spring forth III vindic:ation OF the great
God iii the creation OF man.
We must say. however, is n just personal
compliment. both to Governor Warmotn
and General Sheridan, that they did them
selves much individual honor and credit in
the arrangement and delivery OF their a0-
dresses They are, indeed, orators "a wen
as ripe scholars and accomplished gentle
NEIL
And what shall we say OF our fellow
townsman Hon. Wilbur r. Blackman, who
stood forth Ill behalf of the Democracy,
and took part in the exercises of Wednes-
day! One thing we will Fay, that young
man of his personal generosity and promis-
ing talent. should not be butfeting the
waves in "a vain and fruitless attempt to
save the old and sinking Democratic hulk.
Such an effort is not only'a labor OF love,
but it is az "bitter-sweetness" wasted on
the desert air Mr. BlackIhan made as good
speech for his party as any man
could have made We were proud of him
in personal sense, but doubly proud to
witness the easy and most felicltous manner
IN which Governor Warmoth rejoined, and
put forever at rest some hackneyed and
stereotyped objections 10 his own admins
tration and to the Republ lean party. We
think the Governor admin stored Il correct
i've lesson to our talented young townsman
which will be of benefit to him IN the future.
Governor Warmoth and party, after tar
rying with us on Tuesday night, and reap
ing their brilliant success ON the day follow

Wednesday evening, most tavorabiy I'M
pressed with his visit among US.

generous reception which they met here, de-

shall ever form green spot IN the wastes
