To my Supporters in the Democratic Caucus
The last nights voting in the caucus, reach

that the existing dead lock can only be bro

voted for. And as the entire vote on that oc

the withdrawal of my name may bring about
the resu desirable to the unity OF our
party. | therefore ask that you will add to
the Obligations under which you have already
placed me, by allowing 1t to be Withdrawn for
that purpose, Ii you agree, please appoint
one OF your number, on your behalf and my
own, TO withdraw it at the next meeting of the

Your voluntary and unwavering support

Major B. H. Lanier of East Carroll,
editor of the North Louisiana Repub-
lican, has been nominated AS the Re
publican candidate for Congress from
the Fifth District, but there is not
much probability of his election. As
consequence Of this nomination, Mr..
Franklin Thomas, the independent
Democratic candidate, has withdrawn
in favor Of Gen. King, the regular
Democratic nominee. 1t seems to Us
that if the Republicans had any stri
Gus thought of defeating Gen. King,
the part of wisdom would have been
to give at least tacit Endorsement aud
support to Mr.. Thomas.

ACKLEN TO WITHDRAW.

A private letter received by the

citizen Of one uf the Teche parishes
conveys the Intelligence that Mr..
AckIen is about to withdraw as a
Congressional candidate, thus insur-
ing to Hon. Jno. S. Billiu the united
support Of the Democracy Of the dis
trict. No doubt Mr.. Acklen, like the
shrewd politician he is, will assign
such motives for his withdrawal as
will he calculated to reinstate him iu
the good graces of his party, at least
SO far as practicable, but it would be
difficult to convince very many peo-
pie that the lack of financial cncour-
agemeut from the Democratic Nation
al committee, and the prospect If the
election of a Republican Congress
were powerful incentives to the aban
dunment of his Congressional preten
sions.
