EDITOR DEMOCEAT:


EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
SIE-Learning that some parties in
your city have seen fit 10 miSrcprescnt
me and my position, beg few lines
in your columns by way of explanation.
I am charged with making inllamma-
tory speeches. I welcome The charge,
from the fact that l believe the present
condition Of affairs need more, were it
pos iblc, than inllammatory speeches.
But, sir, am surprised at men Of good
sound sense finding ianlt. If eEpoeInS
Ignorance be making inllammaiOry
speeches, then I am guilty and must
continue so. lfexposinSany such farce
as your present Public School Board :,
with ignorance at its head, be crime,
then am guilty. If telling thc color
cd people that they must respect them
selves before they can possibly expect
TO be respected, be sin, 1 must be lrcfd
accountable. lfshowing up error in an
opcn-hamdcd manner, let it occur where
lit may, be thing so base as TO call
forth the bitter remarks Of whicI, 1 am
Uniformed, then, sir, l must meet the
mcu vino offer such remarks, in mall
ncr mcrilorious Of the occasion.
Permit M to define my position
clearly. l am preacher ofthe Gospel,
and no politician. l would not suffer
my name 10 be used any such way
Louisiana politics Of to-day. I am All
honest Republican,, if gentlemen can
understand the term. Nor one, how
ever, who will support any person Oh
Ipcrsons whose cry is ''Rule or Ruiii.'-
[ am Northern nau, ready and will
ing to defend honest northern pGinci-
pies and honest northern men. Dn,
| am equally as ready to crush out sin
and corruption wherever l may Hind
them. When l differ politically with :
per>on, I do it honestly, and at al
times will I be found ready 10 mcej
!; men differing with me, on the broa0cs
of christian principles.
:, Sir, I expect to return to your city
before long, and I trust that gentlemen
who have pronounced Judgment vii
give me hearing, then judge IRON ;
positive knowledge and not from here
say.
If with The above facts gentlemen are
not satisfied, then all l can say Is,
must and will find time, place and OPP
porlunity to dcnounce prcjudicet
opinion.
Until 1 meet The public again, believe
me, sir, 10 be the FREUD of Right an,
Justice; the advocate of Education ant
