At neehag If the Democrat
Executive COMMITTEES Of the parish I
Calcasieu, held ID ahe town 81 Lax
Charles On Saturday, Sept. 5ih, ress
luEiOns we're adoptsd eOudemninE an
mese shat hiss for is object the reap
pontment Of Thos. F. Monroe a
deputy collector Of customs for Ii,
port 81 LeesbuEg, Cameron parish.
This action Of the COMMITTEES wa
induced BY the fact That Mr.. MourO,
hal made application for re.appoint
Ements and il Was currently reported
notwithstanding be was welI-known e
be partisan RepabIieaa. that in al
probability be would receive the ap-
pointmsnt 10 The detriment of several
Eell-knoEn and honorable Democrats
who have made application for the
place and to the disgust of every true
Democrat in the District,
Personally. Mr.. Monroe is clever
glenilemau, bnt politically he is OBJ
n0xions to those true Democrats who
honor principle beyond personal mo-
lives. Mr. Monroe Is Republican,
and has been feeding At the pablo
crib fer many years, and we can see
no reason why he should expect to re-
ceive fsyeTs from party that he Ia
bored 50 assiduously to defeat at the
last election, 10 the exclusion of those
Democrats who have devoted The best
years Of their lives and spent their
money to redeem the country from
the misrule of the party which Mr..
Monroe, only q few months ago,
worked SO hard TO keep in power.
The gentlemen who are applicants
for this place are all weII-kBown Dem
oerats, capable and Trustworthy, either
of whom would iEl The Office with
fidelity to the government, and we
hope that Mr.. Darlington, the collector
of the pert Of Morgan City, will not |
ignore the claims Of the Democracy |
Of this section Of the Third District |
BY the appointment Of any one to this |
position other than Democrat.
If the Democracy of the country is /
to be held responsible for the admins
tration Of the affairs Of the govern |
ment, We emphaiieally assert that none
but Democrats should be placed IN /
Office. We want no mngwRmp bnsi- /
ness in ours. The people of CaIeasieu
and Cameron have never failed to /
rally around the old flag of Democracy
when called upon to do So, Their
voices are to be heard from every
hilltop and valley when a struggle is
TO be made for the supremacy Of the
principles handed down to US by Clav
md Calhoun, and now they demand
hat they be heard when it comes TO
giving ont an Office that they are d.
reriiy interested in having filed by
lHe of their own choice,
The following preamble aud resolu-
ion adopted BY the Parish Executive
Committee voices the sentiments Of
'Hr people, and only asks for that
which they were promised by the cleo
ion Of Democratic President and a
Democratic Representative In Con
TESS. The canvass of the Democratic
'Srty in this District was made on
he principles Of clean sweep of OBJ
iOIioRs Federal ofiee-holders, and
Iow all our people ask is that this
'riBciple be invoked to aid us in filing
he Office of deputy collector of cas-
oms at Leesburg: /,
Whereas, 1t has come to the knosl-
dge Of this committee that the appli-
alton of Thos F. Monroe, the present
incumbent is being farorably con-
ldeIed for reaPpointment as deputy :
oiieetcr for the port of Leesburg,
cameron parish; and
Whereas, Thomas F. Monroe has ,
zen an active Republican partisan,
Therefore Be It resclsed, That We
arnestly protest against the appoint
leRt of said Monroe or any other I
/,
