The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-07-31

| The following communication from
several of the most influential short
hair " voters OF the Second District is
| lust tribute to the venerable v. Simeon
Dollany, @. H., and n fair. although
tardy. appreciation Of the great services
which he has rendered to this Dom tn,I-
nifty.
Although. like the Radical party. he
has spent several millions OF the peo-
PIES money in his efforts to Improve
The manufacture Of sugar and IN other
grand inventions, without beneficial re-
suits, unlike those cormorants his
hands have remained clean, metaphori-
callv, and his soul pnro aud unsullied
by pelf - .....
fully achieved our purpose through the
assistance Of the unpledged delegates
TO the Baton Rouge Convention in se-
curing the nomination OF Sitting Bull
rs Governor OF La BazoChe. and resting
satisfied that the election OF our favor
| ite candidate la only n question OF time
| having. we say, been 80 einnently sue
| resHful in our first venture aud secured tn
| the State an invaluable candidate, we feel
| It our duty to do something for the city,
| ion. when II assemblies. the fitness aud
| necessity Of nominating Mr.. V. Simeon
| Dolliany for the responsible Office of
| Administrator of Waterworks and Pub
| lie Buildings. Mr.. Dolliany's record on
waterworks ia unimpeaehable he will
Introduce from the beginning new
features in the distribution of
the water throughout the city by means
III his then newly patented apparatuses;
. new combination caloric compulser
10 supply boiling hot water during the
winter months n now polar retrlgernt-
| iug condenser for iced water in
summer. and an exquisite innova.
ton TO supply the deficiency OF
| mains and pipes in the suburban dis
lricts. called the linked block tin lined
soap bubble carriers. for tilling cisterns
and sewers from the main Waterworks.
! (The latter invention is partly the result
! of long years OF Celina's study of the
| water question: Each of these sublime
productions Of Mr.. Dolliany Will
supply the city with thirty millions
! Il gallons OF water per hour. The only
| difficulty which our nominee has To
overcome. as yet. to make his inventions
perfect. is the conception OF p stop
| per-" for. as constituted now. the water
| once let loose cannot be checked within
Iess than twelve hours, but in few
years he expects to reduce 1t to three.
All this at no cost TO the city, for Mr..
Doliany's already popular saccbar-
roidal filter and compound cathartic
converter will be utilized in the oonver-
| sion of the sediment Of the Mississippi
| into loaf sugar. the residue being use
| lul bIeacher of alligator hides and
recognized food for the silk tape worm.
on which they flourish far better than on
spoiled oysters.
The profits to be derived tberefrom
will certainly defray not only all the eX-
penses Of the city, but is expected to
extiDguish the city debt IN twelve years
and the premium bond system In the
bargain. In point of economy, no bet
ter man than Mr.. Doliany could be Sc
Iected, for he does not admit OF the use
less waste of water. and practices his
theory by never washing himself.
Socially. he IL the pink Of politeness.
Morally. he Ia firm as the New Orleans
Gas Comp pany when asked to modify Its
charges. and he has never been known
to go back on u drink or a supper.
Politically, he has u tendency to be
liberal in the administration OF the
public money and conservative Of his
own.
II is true that some vile calumniators
have accused him (nnd brought eye
witnesses to substantate tho charge) OF
having assisted in the hanging OF two
sjpaniards. not very long ago, In this
, city. We do not believe IT., but II he
did the act, we know that he must have
! been prompted to it by the kindness OF
his soul. The executioner was Ill.
the poor criminals had nobody
! TO hang them. Could Dolliany re-
main with folded arms in such n
conuncturc He could not. We
leave IL 10 disinterested public. We
have also heard a rumor about his hav-
ing in early youth shut up his aged
grandmother in a coal cellar, where she
, was devoured by crawtish and rats, and
!, arrived at n maturer age turned his
deputy mother-in- law out OF doors In u
/. violent snow storm. and she was found
.. next morning frozen to death. These
things ,UiH be said of candidates and
, must be accepted cum, gra,t0 sails.
We appeal also, IN the name OF Cell
ma, who will by Simeon s election, secure
the honorable post of ofSuperintendentess
! of the Insane Asylum, which, under GER
+; tain contingencies, might bring the low
! ing bridegroom under the tender and
! immediate care Of his dulcinea. As
chiefess Of the laundry she will be in
! valuable in affording them an opportu-
nifty to wash their dirty linen en- fnmiH6
