W. r. Kellogg
| From the German Gazette of Tuesday.J
Senator Kellogg has just returned from
MS electIoneering trip through this State.
IN almost every parish he has addressed the
| people upon the present political issues. 1t
! ls out just to state that Mr.. Kellogg was
| most cordially received wherever he went
| py the white population as well as the col
ored. Not only were the political meetings
at which he spoke very numerous, but, in
TACT, they have proven the best attended OF
any ever held by any orator during any
previous political campaign. NOtwith-
standing that Mr.. Kellogg is Northern
man, he is evidently highly esteemed by the
people of this State. He has contributed
largely toward overcoming the old preiu-
dice which has heretofore existed against
"carpet-baggers. And why? Simply be-
cause, as United States Senator, he has al
ways endeavOred to reflect credit and honor
upon this State, because he has done his
duty in the Senate, and because nothing
detrimental can be said of him, 1t has al
ways been his aim to ascertain the needs
and wishes of this people, and, studying
them, he has secured the passage of many
benefCial acts.
The people of our State have always
proven grateful; and hence, it is not at all
astonishing that they have an almost in
stinCtive confidence in Senator KeliOgg's
oDiliJS anu Integrity. w = dIl KNOW ELaG ne
has become decidedly popular wherever he
has had an opportunity to introduce himself
III person to the people. We do not say
that at this early day Mr.. Kellogg is the
most popular man IN Louisiana, vet we can
c3nscientiously state that he is the most
popular candidate of any who appears on
any ticket, and as compared with Mr..
McEnery-why, McEnery would be no.
where were we to institute comparison.
Apnn IiTrr 70 no nu+ 1J,I.l Ia tots
ton which we have from the interior of the
State Mr.. Kellogg has succeeded in leav-
ing most favorable impression upon the
people. We particularly notice the face
that this has been the case also with all the
whites who have either heard the Senator
or come in personal contact with him.
Every body acknowledges the fact that KEEL
logs is not only man who can speak, but
also one who can be spoken TO. In regard
to this we copy verbatim, as follows, from
the letter of an old and very respectable
planter: 'He kellogg speaks in q quick
and amiable manner to everybody, listens
with attention to the opinions of Others and
his career thus far has proven that he is
anxious to do us justice" He is liberal and
progressive in his political views, and Is
emphatlcally opposed to any and all pro-
Scrption of the whites. lie has repeatedly
asserted that he has made it one OF his
chief aims to put stop 20 any enmity THAI
may exist between the white and COlOred
population, and to bring about d good u9-
derstanding between the two races, as he is
fully aware that only thus the future pros
perity of our State can be attained.
Mr.. Kellogg is pronounced enemy of
any and all fanatical ideas. He knows very
well that it would not do for a Northern
man to force upon the Southern people
views and ideas which are obnoxious to
them. We feel assured Mr.. Kellogg will
give his particular attention to the prevail
ing corruption existing in the Legislature.
He has pledged his word that he will be an
uncOmprOmising enemy to corruption in
any shape or form. At any cate, we do not
believe that Mr.. Kellogg will make what
might be styled political Governor-a
GOternor who solely belongs to the Repubo
ican party He has stated in an unmistak-
aAi8 manner that it will be his special aim
to Sring about a thorough improvement ia
and reduction of our present system of taXae
tom He intends to devote his attention
and sell known administrative capacities
to reorganize in our State the now disoro
gained systems of finance and taxation
and at the same time secure strict control
Of Cha public receipts and expenditures, and
subsequently institute means and measures
for tie purpose of funding our State and
city indebtedness, appOgtiOD certain
amounts for expenses which can NOT be jno
Creaad by the State officers. and in that
maner improve the credit OF the State and
Iedlce taxation
hat Mr.. Kellogg possesses the capacity !
f. such reform measures can not be doubt |
BY 0ny one who has watched his public
areeG. and that he means TO do 1t we Ger. !
edIniy believe because We base faith in a !.
Rn@n Who thus far has not deceived US, but |
has done his dutyo Hence We believe that I
we can rely upon the promises he has made 7
