We clip the following from a
lengthy report III the Cpelousas
Courier Of the 10th ulsimo, Of .
public meeting there of The ope
lousas Thite League CIub. The
regular speakers were Col. Alci-
blade DebIanc, Of St. Martin;
Robert s. Perry, Esg., of liberia,
and Donald Gallery, Esq, Of ST.
Mary
"As he (CoI. Deblancl took ms
seat, there was a load call 0f
" Wells, Wells" from the au-
dience. The first summons Mr.
Wells did not obey. but the call
became SO emphatic that, aoJsas
Uolen8, MI. G. H. Wells, Of Calca-
sieu, was forced to present himself
to his vociferous friends.
'Wheaher prepared or NOT, we
would like To know when this same
G.. H. Wells ever found himself at
disadvantage in addressing any
assemblage His power 81 felieit-
Gus expression, his cultured elo-
quence, his wide range Of thought
make him emphatically q speaker
to whom all men listen with more
than pleasure We regret we can
not publish his speech st length.
With that manly independence OF
thought and expression which
marks his public address to the
voters Of the district, Mr.. Wells
announced himself d candidate for
their favor in the approaching
Senatorial contest Though nos
member Of the White League, and
combining himself strictly 10 his
published political views, he left
no doubt in the minds of any one
present that ID his opinion the
policy Of the. Republican party
was to Africanize the Southern
States. He paid a beautiful and
graceful compliment to Col. De
blanc, the hero of the White
Camelia che defender in past
times of an abstract principle,
which he yitalized il his own life
and actions. Like the immortal
charge Of the six hundred at Bala-
klava, Col. Deblanc never paused
to count the odds against him
when duty led him on. He might
suffer, he might die, but life and
death alike must always be 10 him
the interpreters Of heroic and
patriotic action.
We regret that We can give Mr..
WIS eloquent address no farther
space. We think that with his
high sense Of duty and response
bility, and his rare facilities Of ex-
preston, Mr., Wells viii prove q
powerful advocate for his political
principles. He, too can noint to
q clean record, and an honorable
and consistent course, which, in
these days Of greed and bartered
conseiences, should weigh in his
favor at the polls.
When Mr. Wells had concluded
ms remarks, which were constantly
interrupted by marked applause.
there was a final clash of music,
and the densely packed house
slowly thinned.
