The Sentinel has, conrteonsly
and loyalty, for years, placed at
the disposition Of any section, fac
ton, or group. of the Republican
Party, any spare room they might
have. from time to time, in their
columns. and these Columns have
been as open to my political OppO
nents, within said party, as they
were to me, Or my friends.
Instead Of acknowledging the
great kindness, thus extended.
the Radical wing of the Repuhli
can Party have not only diSda;n-
ed to avail themselves Of the me-
dium of publicity, thus generously
offered to them, but they have

without regard to party or race.
They have spread the report
that Major Grisamore had hired
me to sound his praises
They have gone further.
They have told again, far and
wide. that Capt. Michelet had
"again !"bought up 'the conserva
tive wing of the Republican Par

jor GrisamOre was to lead said
wing against "Beattie and Schnei
der the supposed chiefs Of the
opposite wing. That this was the
reason, why the Conservative
Republicans refused to attend
the meeting, repeatedly called,
within the past ten days.
To all this | have to answer;
l.. That the Democrats have
nerer attempted to buy any Re
publicanS.
., That Maj. Grisamore's cha
racter is too well known, to lay
him open to any such suspicion.
g., That the Conservative Re
pubiicans never promised to fol-
low Mai. Glisamore|s lead, nor
minated that they would OPP
pose MeSSrS. Beattit and Schnei.

imagined any sort OF such Or

solicitation or inducement, did
declare. that unless q suitable can

port Maj. Grisamore. If that be
treason make the most of it!
t.. That the only two Repnb;i-
cans who offered to sell tllem-
selves. since Reconstruction, be

D., That the Republicans who
were not present at the meeting
referred to, were Intentionally
left without notification, and had
no idea Of refusing.

contradiction, but offer to furnish
the most convincing proof.

which was to have been held in
Thlbodaux on last Saturday. was
Oh account of tia prevailing ep

The existence of the fever SO
far disrloses the fact that the dis
ease is Of a mild type aud yields
readily to treatment when taken
hold of promptly and determin.
eddy. This should encourage ev.
cry one TO view the situation
calmly and without alarm.
Let every person have all the
remedies constantly ready FOL
the incipient treatment OF the

time will be lost at the first stage
of the disease, as upon quick

The remarkable success tina,

with this scourge is unparalleled
in the history of any town yisi
