Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1879-03-08

On the success Of this measure de-
ponds, in the main, the re-establish-
ment of honest and economical gov
eminent in our State.
That historic Edifice, whose towers
are the living men,ento Of the halcyon
days when peace and plenty reigned
supreme along the banks OF the nigh
ty Mississippi, appeals in its majestic
beauty to the hearts of all true Lou
islanians, and calls to them to res
tore it to it's ancient splendor, in order
that her patriotic sons may soon again
assemble within it's walls, where, i'm
pressed by the "reminiscences which
cluster around it and it's beautiful
bowers, they will labor to bring back
to the growing generation of to-day
the glories ofxhe past.
TO you, East Baton Rougeans, who
for seventeen years have awaited in
vain the return of your interrupted
march toward prosperity and gran
deur, it must surely be evident that
when the long lost jewel is almost
within your grasp, requiring scarcely
more than one other energetic effort
to secure it foreyer-your duty re-
quires that you lay aside all your
dissentions and quarrels, in order
that success may be assured.
1t is with the deepest sorrow that
we are called upon to note the melan-
chOly fact that the demon Of hate and
division is being fostered in our midst.
You are yielding to personal and po-
litical prejudices, and opposing har-
mony upon mere pretexts.
Remember that your planters, your
farmers, your mechanics, their wives
and their children look to your men,
and are beseeching them to do right.
Accused forever will be those who
will have struck down the arm OF the
men whose enthusiastic and faithful
efforts aim only to reach this all
important result to our entire commu-
nifty.
Moved by a cOmmendable impulse,
the Parish Committee of the Demo-
cratic party have selected three men
who, in their opinion, will do their
whole duty in the premises, and yo,'
kaow ii IN your hearts, although the
lips Of some Of yom speak the opposite,
that they hare done ,risely!
Already, some of you, blinded by
personal feelings, have sown the seeds
of discord in advancing ONE MAN,
surely not a better one than those
named by the Committee, and you
have succeeded in causing the hydra
headed vampire of radicalism to raise
itself once more amongst you. Go on
in your pursuit of that course, and
we will all rue the day when YOU
madness crushed the dearest hopes of
our people. Aye, you are pushing
forward one man, unmindful of the
disruption that you are bringing about
in order to force him through to the
Convention, no matter who and what
you defeat.
People of East Baton Rouge, take
our warning. Ask yourselves whether

You've and LEON JAsTREMsKI are

whether you believe that they will be
faithful to the trust that the Com
mittee, coming as it does from every
part of your parish, have urged YOU
to place in their hands, and if you be.

We feel that the common welfare
requires us to call upon Mr.. Grevcs
his friends and the Aduocate, to desist

mostly that will not be healed fOl
years to come!
