blissfu! ignorance Of what these consideca
tions were. wan, 70 know if Mr. McEnery
lived in '.fool's paradise all the time.
After the election Mr.. McEnery very
promptly made great many appointments,
am disposed to believe. only Of his
honest adheyepts: mind yov. only the hon
est ones.
Mr., Blanchard and Mr.. Chadbourr, il is
said by the Herald. asked for high and lu-
eratiye posts. Why should they no: = They
iaboyed hard for the Fusion party. How.
ever, if Mr.. McEnery knew that they were
employed in his interests, 60 elect him fraud
uleptl,, he very discree,ly did not give
them wha: they asked. for there might be
danger 10 giving places 20 men who Nc
Emery knew were already strongly Gus
pected by his opponents. Besides, there
were more ways than one 70 satisfy such
services. But in the name Of eommon
sense, Justice and all that is fair. If Mr.. Nc
Emery believed tas ne says he did, that his
registrar alG his associates conducted an
honorable election in his favor, were just
stewards OF theis trust. jealous adherents
al through a difficult campaign. why were
.hey neglected: Why TO. reward them
with office: !: va. the only righ: :hin;:
TO do.
think il is high time that the Herald
and these selt-styled honorable men cease
70 nauseate The general public by the con-
:lnued use Of the phrase 1.-THE most respect
able Of our citizens.' Merit will always
speak for itself I, is a nobility that the
Heral9's praises and their own self-adula-
.ion do not warrant. stated. in the article
that appeared in last Sundays number Of
the REPUBLICAN,. that
Il has gone forth in print that Governor
Kellogg offered in the presence of respect
able and honored gentleman IN This city.
and who IS ready ~ testify TO the tact, that
be the GovernOrj would submit TO have
The vote. reeounted in the presence OF all
concerned. and submit 20 the decision.
McEnery refused TO consent to the offer.
Thi. efusal vas simply Sinking the means
of arriving ct the truth.
Mr. NcEnery said he must ask Warmoth.
and nothing resulted in answer 70 this TAR
offer on the part Of Governor Kellogg.
Such an inquiry would have eased Mr.. NC
Enery's conscience. but the advent would
have forced Wsrmoth to produce tho pur-
Joined documents. and an honest result
would have been too serious tos tbs Fusion
party ~ endure.
Th. Hsrca in reply. says that it Is en-
phatieaily denied.
The following may be sufficient TO satisfy
the mos. skep.ical how far one may venture
70 rely upon denial. made BY ''the mos: re.
spectacle Of our citizens
William IL. Hunt. Esq. a distinguished
member of the New Orleans bar and gen
t.eman Of vel! known honorable character,
has given q written statemen: of the fact
a. i. occurred. Said document is now in the
possession Of Governor Kellogg. substan-
:ia:in. in every particular the mention
made. Mr.. Hun: states plainly and ex.
plcitly .ha: Governor Kellogg did make
the offer in his presence TO Mr.. McEnery.
who replied that he must see Warmoth.
This document can be produced when
need be. am sure that any gentleman
desiring TO know the truth can see in Mr..
Hunts own handwriting the exact words
ne used. the curions have only to 90 the
office of the executive. and if the request is
made politely. the paper will be exhibited.
