OFFICE HOWARD ASSOCIATION, !
Shreveport, November Is, 1873,
] have published in the Shreveport
Times, of this morning, M full and ne
curate list (as it Is possible mt this
time to prepare) of the contributions
to the Howard Association of this city,
| for the relief of the sick and destitute
during the fearful epidemic through
which we have just passed, The list
will be revised and all inaccuracies
corrected at II future day.
Our calamity has indeed been great,
but not greater than the hearts of our
Acknowledged realize, as is attest
ed by their large and noble charities.
From every portion of the Union aid
has come to us; from cities, villages
and hamlets from the North, the
East, the West and the South. The
misery, desoation and gloom through
which our people have passed, was re-
lieved in some measure by the light Of
II charity that has few parallels in the
history of human calamity, and in be-
halfof the sufferers, in behalf of the
inhabitants of this city, | tender to
those who gave it, the most earnest,
feeling and heartfelt thanks, and in
behalf of humanity, through this me-
dunn, proclaim it to the world.
Ii is maniicstly impossible for me to
mention in this card all the commu-
mites who nave contributed to our re-
lief, or the names OF all those who
have been active in presenting our
necessities to the public; but there are
some who have devoted so much of
their timeto our cause and worked 50
earnestly in our behalf, that do not
think it invidi0us to designate them
here; and while thanking all who
have worked for us, and all who have
contributed to our relief, l feel that it
is just to make special mention of the
following gentlemen, corporations
and companies;
The Howard Association Of New
Orleans. Its worthy representative,
Mr.. w. l.. Schmidt, came in person to
our relief early in the epidemic and
remained with us till its termination,
Harlow }. Phelps and James y.
Brown, Mayor of st. Louis; h. Jacobs,
our townsman, in Boston; II, c. Carey,
chairman, Pittsburg; James j. Tarlton,
Cashier Hibemian Bank, New Orleans;
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany; its operators at Shreveport; and

Texas and Pacific Railway Company;

WE are but frail men. We claim no
superior sanctity or wisdom above our
average fellow men. We realize that
in life we have often erred in jndg-
ment, often from hasty impulse. But
while this Is true, we also claim to
have sought instruction by the lessons
of the war and the events which have
followed 1t. We have sought to dispel
prejudices and seek wisdom and chari-
ty In adversely. So promising, and
feeling deeply the degradation brought
upon the proud escutcheon of Texas by
Radical carpetbaggers, and realizing
that now we have an opportunity to
re-establish pnblic homer, to stamp the
heel of public reprobation on public
wickedness, we are panied beyond
language to express, to see men who
have claimed to be of the peoples par
ty and the advocates of political NOR
atty, OF their own accord, turn their
backs on the great body of their
own brethren In affection, and thrust
their own names forward as candi-
dates for place. BY so doing, while
we do not believe they SO intend, yet
in effect they say to our opp,essors, the
Radical party, we are dissatisfied with
Democratic action, we want this or
that office, vote for us. We do not
charge that such is their intention, but
that such is the effect of their action,
no reasoning man can deny.
Democrats of Dallas county, again
we say, in liberty's name, vote for the
men You have yourselves nominated.
