HoUMA, La. September IS, 1879.
TO the Editor Of the Democrat:
Our attention WAS this day (by Republi-
cam called to communication In the New
Orleans Times OF this date, signed "Ah Sin"
We never buy the Times, never read the Times
and never look at the Times. The R-publi-
cans out here Ill read the Times, and but for
the courtesy Of the above alluded to Republi-
can the communication Of "Ah Sin" would
have passed unnoticed BY us. "Ah Sin" de-
serves little attention, which We are willing
TO give, II you will be kind enough to publish
this letter. We believe Ia the organ Of the
party, as "Ah Sin" (derisively) calls the DEM
oCEAT. We think we know hAh SIN" He
was once an III, but to now IN ont, and very
sore one at that; and II the peopte know them
selves, 1--WE think she do'') We fail to 500 how
III the world he shall ever get IN again. His
friends tell him he is very smart. He believes
his friends, and it tickles him to death. His
style ID dsrision; he excels In that, md 90 re
other things at present not to be mentioned.)
In 1876, If we mistake not, he f"Ah SIM was
seen In company with delegation Of seren,
going To Eaton Rouge from 1errrbonnp, said
delegation having been appointed by Hte chair
man of the cJecntiUe committee Of 1876, s0tI
chairman being tnct,eded ~ satd dete0atton.
"Ah SIM" was al In, in those now remote
days OF 1876, and had no objections TO that
mode of appointing delegations, but to-day,
1879, 'tAh Sin" II an ont, and says 1--WE nat is
sauce for the goose, Ii not sauce for the gan
der," and says also there is great difference
between 9tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum.
Oh! the glorious days Of 1876; An SIN
always had TURKEY then for lunch. Again in
1878, we think IAN Sin" was seen In company
with another delegation from Terrebonns,
appointed again bv the e1ecuttps comm'ttee
(how dangerous presidents are somstimes)
composed this time OF fifteen members
the poor ones, however being debarred ut the
right OF proxy, only six went to Baton Rouge
land by the by, they omitted to vote on the
Congressional nomination.. This time "Ah
Sin was seen mnching On turkey bone, all
that was left. Since then no one has SAID
turkey to "Ah Sin" land no one wild, and the
poor fellow takes it hard. He grasps at
straws, and takes hand IN any and every still
drinking-it would be q pity. His friends say
he is 80 smart and would make such brlttt-
ant Senator for instance. II the plagued peo.-.
pie would only appreciate It, III AN SIN
believes In washing dirty linen before the
public, sll right, We are willing; he has only
To say the word. We have local paper, the
Houma Cbprier. Had he chosen Its columns
for his communication, we would have
answered In the same paper. tie has chosen
the columns of Clinton, Dlbble, Stoutemyer a.
Co.; we choose the staunch columns OF the
DEMOCRAT.
We are acquainted with every man, woman
and child In TerrebOnne, and we assert boldly
that the action OF the present executive COM
mittee of Terrebonne is FULLY approved and
indorsed by the great masses Of the people
throughout the whole length and breadth 81
the parish, and we assert, further, that while
Terrebonne entertains the highest regard
for the names Of Ogden, Moncure Spencer,
Elan and others, her first choice nevrrthe-
less, for Governor Is the Hon. l.. A. Wilt,
who Ia 80 deserving and 80 true. 1t will take
better metal than "Ah SIM IL made Of to hurt
Gov. Witt SO much as one vote ia the con
vention. That s the object OF his communi-
cation, and we charge him with it, Before
closing we desire To say to "Ah Sim that the
friends OF Gov. Witt will cheerfully and
heartily support the nominees at Baton
Rouge, whoever they be. -
Yours, truly,
DEMOCRATS ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
