The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1879-11-19
HE STILL LIVES.

The fertile brain of our beloved Kel-
logg, now that he can no longer rely
with confidence upon the DEGREES OF
Returning Boards, has been busy to
discover or invent some new machine
or device, by which he hopes he may
he able to fOist his starveling gang
once more upon the people OF this
State. To bring about this much de-
sired end, lie proposes to have the Re-
publican managers send to Louisiana
in the present canvass, such speakers
as Blaine, Garfield, Sherman and 9TH
ers of that stamp. He believes that
this plan will succeed in bringing out
the elements of every class that can be
enlisted or combined in crushing out
the people who have driven him and
his crew beyond the borders OF Lou
isiana. We would say to the repre-
sentative men of the North, irrespec
tive of party, that the people Of Lou
isiana will extend the hand of good
fellowship to all such as may come to
see US, or to study the relations OF par
ties, or of the races at the South and
while we shall welcome them with all
courtesy and civility, and throw open
the doors to enable them to see for
themselves, we will only ask that they
divest themselves of all prejudice and
mingle with the people whose welfare,
as a unit, they are presumed alone to
consider. But if we are to understand
thot they are to come as agitators and
to foment and rekindle the slumbering
passions of race against race, to array
under the banners of new crusade the
now harmonious elements in our State
we would warn them, consider the aw-
full responsibility and the dire calami-
ties which they invite; We would say
to them calmly aud dispassionately,
never again shall the fiends OF dark
ness, such Us the Kelloggs and Cham
berlains and Moses seize by the might
of fraud, and administer with the bra
! zen effrontery of the Devil, the offices
in any of the Southern States.
There is something supremely ludic-
rous in the idea that sneak thief such
as Kellogg should still be revolving
f plans which car never be made effec'
t tive.
Can it be, dear William, that sou ar.
not yet resigned to the fate which
awaits you aud yours Do you still
: cherish, even in your exile, memorie

q the fevered browf Shades of Pinch
}, back, Dibble, Campbell, Packard, Bad
!. ger, Wells and Anderson, brothers all
valiant warriors in the same goodl
array, your chief pines to lead go

\ Even amid tho gloomy halls Of tn

'e to you and whether reclining upo
the cushioned divan, in the iBterva

~ watches of the night, in trouble
'e dreams, aroused by an unseen han'
g. he summons about him those tried an
trusty spirits-aye, he quivers, Ii
8 breast heaves, he starts, and in tone
= that cannot be disguised, he cries :
le "Durell Durell Dnrell be quick
L. quick! save me or perish J"
