pended to the first affidavit which appeared
In the Democrat, making the charge against
Mr.. Packard, and also swears that the
statements of the first affidavit are wholly
false; that he can neither read nor write,
and that he was induced to Sign it in ignor-
ance Of it's contents and by false representa-
ton.
After this witheripg exposure, which
WAS hailed by friends and admitted by
enemies to be complete and triumphant,
Mr.. Packard denounced the course of the
Democrat Is malicious, cowsrdly. lying and
infamous. He said that it was the only
Democratic newspaper in New Orleans
low and dirty enough to stoop to such ly-
ing. He claimed that this false and base
less charge had made him thousands of
white votes among the people who liked
fair play. They think that if, after the
searching and unsparing scrutiny of this
long canvass, this was the sole charge
which could be brought against his char
scter, and this proved q lie, he must GER
tainly be an honest man. He renewed his
defiance 10 his enemies to produce single
man here or elsewhere who could truthfully =
charge that he had ever wronged him out

take his name down from the ticket. His
powerful speech made him hundreds Of
white votes here. VOX.
