WE MUST NOMINATE MUR
PHYJ FOSTER.

GrlcC COMMITTED OF TINS, the 1llfd Dis
tricr, held a mceting 10 the 29tl, uit.
in New Orleans, and Messrs. L. r.
Allan aud Mar,inet, notable members
of the committee, We're absent. A reso
luton pledging continued support to
kellogg was adopted; but Messrs.
Enos Williams, from T%errebonne, and
Gray. Of St. Mary. voted against.it, for
the reason. as Williams said, .'it look
cd too much like Cnstosnhouse machine
business to suit him." They will hold
their convention on September 23rd,
at Plaqnsmine. lberviIle parish, and
we may anticipate asa forcgone conclu

Now, we have thrown the Hon. Muir
ply j. Foster into the Congressional
ARENA, because We deem him the most
available man in the District ; and we
say it right here-if Foster can It'll beat
Kellogg, than there is no Democrat in
the District who eau. If the en,bodi
ment Of ability. capacity, honesty and
fair dealing to be found in Murphy J..
Foster is not sufficient to make success
i bis run against Kellogg's record.
we must say. that the Old Third

EO1chosen some other and better man
N ,ecause they can'tlsay they have none
the District better than Kellogg
but We are row satisfied that our hopes
= were futile and, therefore. to get rid
ofthe volatility of damning shame,
heaped upon the people of this District
by her heretofore stained Representa-
tieeAlwe earnestly call upon every hon
est and decent Republican~and we
know there are many in the District
to join % in this effort to retrieve our
honor aud self respect by sending to
Washington a man who is sams rep
roche and seusper fdelis. MIR. Foster is
such a man. aud we have yet to hear
Of the first expression derogatory Of
him from Democrat or Republican.
The sugar interests Of Louisiana will
not be jeopardized by the election of
Foster. because he il from that region.
and himself materially interested in it's
future and not at all like Kellogg,
whose sweetness (!) is purely simula
ted, and has nothing real about it. Mr..
Foster will not be sailing under false
pretenses in this campaign. if nomina
ted. as we hope he will be; the contra.
~, he will always be the pure man and
honest representative of the people of
his District as heretofore.
We, of course, cant bespeak for the
Republicans Of the District in this advo
cacy OF Mr.. Fostsr, but We can say his
nomination will be hailed with accla
nation by. every true Democrat in the
District, and should be endorsed by
all honest and decent Republicans.
The Old Third has not had such a
favorable opportunity of retrieving her
self fol. many years. and We hope our
people will not fail now to avail them
selves Of it by nominating and electing
the Hon. Murphy J. Foster to the
House of Representatives Of these Uni
ted States.-St. Charles Echo.
