a Gard from Mr.. Felix Braud.
DorAIpsosy1LIE, june I, 1884.

UONAI,nS0NVILIE, june 1So4s
EDITOR CHIEF -
I request the favor of the insertion of the fol-
lowing communication in the eolu4sns Of your
valuable journal. The statement was rendered
to the Ascension Democrat. but notwithstand-
ing the reflections complained of were made by
that paper, publication of the refutation was
refused. Respectfully, FELIX BRAUD.
The excessive zeal, perhaps, of the Ascension
Democrat for the Democratic executive COM
mites causes that paper to state, ii 1 correctly
understand It's meaning. that myself and the
said committee accepted. endea7ored to de-
feat the fusion ticket by voting Indirectly Tor
Pierre Landry, a Negro, in scratching the name
Of Ben, Gibson; by doing the same "a aid OF
Cheeyers by scratching the name of Dutfel. etc.,
etc., Whoever conveyed that information to
the Democrat is guilty of falsehOOd; but he
spoke the truth who said that /, at the recent
election, voted for Messrs. Roman, Blonin and
Bentlsy-all thee wllIte men, the two hrst DEM
ocrats-insteadof voting for their opponents
all three known Republicans, oil three Negroes.
and all three candidates On the celebrated Flu
sion ticket SO warmly defended by the Demo-
crat and the executive committee.
Nothing In the above is intended as defense
of Pierre Landry or Us an insult to the other
three individuals OF hls race. But, neither OF
the four being responsible for the color OF his
them should produce to the eye of the Democrat
different effect from that of the other three.
The Democrat commits also this error: " Mr.
Braud declared that he not only was not bound
BY the action of bis party in last election, but
that he had worked against it and would do the
same at the next election The true DECLARE
ton was in substance as follows: II voted
against portiVnof the Fusion ticket and will
in the future vote the same way under similar
circumstances" ] now add that whenever the
Democratic parfa(?l will put out in the field a
true Democratic ticket, / will always be found
ready to support the same with the best of my
abilities.
The merit and demerit of the action of the
executive COMMITTEES in expelling us viii pass
unnoticed. enough having been said on the sub
ject for the public to Judge whether it was right
Twill in conclusion state that have no right
whatever to feel ,mfriendly towards Mr.. Bent
Icy, who has always acted towards me in an up
right, honest and gentlemanly way. ] do not
judge man by what newspapers say of him Or
by his politics. If did, would have poor
opinion of some of my good friends and posi-
bly, 4 high one ofmyself. FELIX BRAUD.

4 WEDDING WITH A HISTORY.

The Son Of sharon Marries tho Divorced
wife or j. w. breckenridge, Of Cali
fOrnin.
tSan Francisco special
Fred Sharon, the son Of the ex-senator
of the name, and Mrs. Louise Brecken-
ridge, the daughter Of Lloyd Teyis, Presi-
dent of Wells, Fargo & Co., and the di-
yorced wife of J. w. Breckenridge, were
privately married last night at the residence
of Lloyd Teyis, this city. This is the end OF
a scandal Of long standing. Brecken-
ridge, the son Of the late Vice President.
married Miss Tevis six or seven years ago
much against the will Of her parents, who
objected because of the youths reckless
and dissipated habits. Soon after the mar
riage Breckenridge began to abuse his bride,
and it was even said beat her. He certainly
grew reckless. neglected his business. and
finally was forced out Of his firm because
Of drunkenness. He was delegate
to the Chicago Democratic Convention.
and was the young man who broke down SO
hopelessly in placing Thurman in nomina-
ton. He is now o country lawyer and a
member Of the California Assembly. The
marriage of his divorced wife with Sharon
il great surprise. The Tevis family Is OF
the bluest blood in Kentucky, and Lloyd
Tevis one of the richest men here. How
the Sharon marriage could have been ar
ranged on the heels OF the Sharon Hill
| scandal. is what puzzles the friends Of the
| Teyis family The ex-Senator's millions.
however, have probably smoothed the way.
