| II. Now Orleans Herald seems to reyei /
in the easy fact that Mr.. McEnery denies
that he ever saw Senator Chadbourn or any |
other supervisor, and states that 1t Is au-
thcrized by McEnery to assert that there
lives not a man to whom he ever mace
pledge orproiniscd 70 appoint to'oftice before
/ the election" ......
iappeal to every political man If it is
likely that one running for Governor OF
state can possibly pass through such an
ordeal as the last election and did not make
single promisef Fwould like to let the
gentleman down easily, and will try 70

that it is the memory that is at fault.
