DRAYfoN B. HAYES, Editor 8tARDiAy:
NJ Dss~ ar-I lave jSsA finished read
ing your leading article in which you
advocate the claims Of Gen. Randall l..
Gibson for the senstorship from this State.
Until your paper reached me had no ides
that this distinguished gentleman aspir,d
TO this Position. Indeed, the fact that q
Senator WAS to I've elected ct thls time
nile.i me- with surprise, IN had given no
serious thought to the changes made by
onr new constitution. But NOW, - the
is-he 10 upon US, trust that our senators
and representatives will act With more
than usual wisdom.
knew much Of Gen1 Gibson in the
late war, snd / can endorse al you say Of
his gsllantry and other soldierly virthes.
I have. read much Of him in the Journals
Of the day, especially since the "redemP-
ton" Of Louisiana, and l have noticed -
. striking and remarkable fact. that while
Chandler and other Republicans like him,
attribute To Gibson's influence the defeat
Of Packard, and while impracticAble DEM
ocrsts IN the North think that I>ouisians
aud Nichols should have been sacrificed
for TiIden and that the sacrifice would
have been made had Gii~on's influence not
prevailed, none Of either class dare charge
him with dishonesty, and all grant him
ability aud virtue.
The New York Sun, always In search Of
. sensation, charged him with being q
Grant man, yet in the came article &C.
corded TO him marked praise for his gen.
ius, his industry, his integrity, aud the
remarkable influence he exercised in Con-
gress-sn influence growing out Of these
attributes. Your article, lis Gibson q
Grant Man" was we'll timed, and showed
from Gent Gibsou'a own words that he wa
. warm advocate Of Bxyard. l mention
these fscts only TO introduce my cordial
and hearty endorsement Of yoBr support
Of the most distinguished Of our r-pr--
sentatives.
agree with you cordially and heartily.
Like you I favor Randall l.. Gibson for
senator first and last. Every states rigit
Democrat, every reasonable southern man,
who like myself heard his eloquent speech
at Minden in the fall campaign, will make
one Of the Gibson PkalasJ. That speech
wn . mastery vindication Of the Demo
cratic party, and by many was thought Ia
have been the most eloquent address ever
heard in that town. Two worthy and
cultivated gentlemen from your town were
here to join In this verdict.
But | only set out to say that I am
pleased that you have though, proper 10
endorse the claims Of G-n'l Gibson, aud
am also pleased that your views accord
with my own and others who have rad
yonr article.
Louisiana conld have no more gallant .
champion in Legislative halls. Whether
be win or lose the fight. his honor will I've
unimpaired. ! shall trust that he may he
successful, and that your pen may iDdite
