ticket, and ran only about 1000 bsaipa
Mr.. Kellogg himself.
Now, these are the returns the eenta.
man boasts Of I might add right hsa.
since the gentleman took advantage ofh,
position to give me q little poke in as
ribs, that in every parish that I oanyas,d
I was assured by the white people TIA,
they would vote for me in preference to .
carpet-bagger, that they knew l had N
interest in the State, and would either vote
for me or not vote at all; and instead o.
my running behind my ticket, it seems. b
rae that he ought TO have run behiud bis
But there ute other reasons why The
gentleman might be expected to run b.
hind his ticket. His democracy, funded
he hay any-I do not know where be
stands, although I have asked him several
his democracy was Of such
recent date that I do not think his friends
had much respect for it. think he hs
rather been used by Others; They knsv
that he was gifted with oratory, that b,
had the power Of INDUCING in ozatoraL
and Of rounding his periods ek.
quently, and they placed him on thsi
ticket for that purpose rather than for an,
merit he possessed.
But there is another important poinsa
which I want to coll the attention Of III
House, and especially do I desire to appal
to the Republican members in regard b
it. The gentleman said he would mals
no partisan appeals He might esa!
make that statement, because he. has no
partisan recor1 He has not been a con-
sistent member of any party, and coass
quently he can make no partisan appel.
But, Nj. Speaker, I have cleas Gh

first day when you clothed me with a.|
fright to vote to the present, 1have vosd
