them. Ii Senator EuStis Is correct In {
his estimate of Mr.. Cleveland, and there ,
is no doubt that he is, then the South

what they have gained by his election
nay, more, they may begin to ask
themselves what they have lost by &c.
What The Times Democrat Says:
The only appointment urged upon
/ the President by senator EuotlS, was
! that Of Gen. Fred y. Ogden for col

name was presented for this office by Il |
large and influential number Of mer- !

The mino. = -, .7icnt = tho Demo
cratic party IF this State, which arro-
gates TO itself all the virtues and as
cribes to its successful opponents al
the vices in the calender, clamored Tor
wears for the recognition of this gentle
man as a citizen to whom the state was
under the deepest Obligations.
His name was paradCd by the organs

, the late election as one of the proml-
ncnt Democrats of the State who could
be trusted to stand by the interests of
the peoule against all rings ana cabal5.
The ink was scarcely dry upon the
friendlyassurances Ofthc senior senator
-. from this State of his desire to eyincc
:, his esteem for Gen. Ogden as one of the
pillars of. redeemed Louisiana, and
Senator Eustis had every right to be-
licye that be was co-opcratInSln carry
ing out policy of conciliation, and ut
n the same time extending appropriate
!, recognition to Il distinguished Demo
i Crat.
u SpnatorJonas' name was also present
: cd for the same Office, and, although
;, Senator Eustis adhered to his conviction
that the appointment Of Gen. Ogden
. would in every way best serve the III
y terestS NJ the Democratic party and
~ the business community, lac recognized
u everywhere the Democracy of MIR. JOnas
. and spoke If him in all official circles II
- kindly terms.
u senator Gibson desired the appoint

: the port, and against this Senator kustl'
, filed a vigorous protest, on the grounds
- that a question of principle was invoiy
~ ed which struck at the life UfDemoCratl'

MIR. Eustis was advised that il WAS a
y opcn boast in Louisiana that This "a,

Inv the vote of the negro vote, and wa
~ brought face to face with the qurstio

nc whose policy would mongrelize In
y. State upon the plan of Malone.
~ Regarding the Democratic orraniZ;
p" ton of this State as the buiwark of II

W. prosperity, he did not recognize I'll

?;ii Louisiana had placed in his hands i
~ such manner as to imperil the publ
us cool or the integrity of the party.
~ ~ When, therefore, the PrcsideI
Of reappointed Mr.. Kernochan wit
cir all of these facts before him, it az
pears that Senator Eustis assume
ci that he had decided upon polio
ed which would prove destructive
en Democratic organization, not onl
MS in Louisiana, but throughout ii
- - South. and that these conclusion
zen had been strengthened by the a
pointment of Pierson in New Ior
aag' and the failure to disturb the 100
i Iy 600 Republican oilice-holders wi
ing continue to administer the afIai
; of of Democratic government.
SEES Instead of fight for the ollic,
ton Mr.. Eustis has been making fgl
en- for a principle, and one which mo
