o, Consistency, thou art a Jewel!

What MIR. Jackson said of me in the
last issuc of his paper:
Mr.. Estiiette says Strict discipline and .ltl-
herenc,' tn rules, uSages and pfecedents Ia IN
aispensabe to- the existence OF any party"
Yet when tllt, Democratic party was III its
miglitir4t struggle in Louisiana and when
discipline aud the yielding OF individual am
bition fnr he good ri the party Was OF the ut
most in i.ortance he ran against and beat his
avn party nominee for Speaker OF the House,
owing his election las the Courier stated at
the time) to Kellogg. Packard, Anderson,
Pinchhnck an.l others"
What Mr.. jackson said of me at the
time of my election as Speaker and
soon thereafter:
The country members. with a few from the
city, carried the adjustment question, and
Mr.. Estilette was one of them He repre-
sented the most popnlens parish i'll the State,
EXCEPT Orleans. and was the only country
candidate for the Speakership, ana the only
ono, that represented adjustment. He Ger
taiply. therefore, had as much right to be
Speaker, if he could get the votes to elect
him, as anybody else. Aud one thing is GER
tain, if all our law makers are like him, they
are not only gentlemen but they will bring
peace and prosperity to the State.
Again
We have special satisfaction in Speaker
Estilette's election by the Democratic Com
mittee of this parish, as its member Oh the
State Committee. The small minority who
ALWAYS make SO much fuss, here and in New
Orleans, predicted his political decline so
persistemtly because be advocated aud worked
for the Wheeler adjustment, and because he
dared to be a candidate for the Speakershlp
and got it, that it required something oi this
kind TO show how small the influence OF the
fuss makers is. III the people of the parish
conld be indoctrnated with the ideas OF his
opposers, the effort was not wanting to do 1T,
and the time was certainly sufficient All
was ready to kill him and preach his funeral
politicaliy-he was absent from the parish
and could not defend himself. The parish
convention that was to perform these last
political rites for him met and, 10 and be-
hold he and his aiders and abettors in the
compromise business were the very irst ones
selected as delegates to the State Convention,
and to make the matter still worse, in the
eyes of the fussy minority who imagine or
try to impress others with the idea that they
have ull the influence, the parish committee
elected by this Convention aud instructed to
elect the member that this parish was enti,
tied to ON the State Committee met and
elected Mr.. Estilette that member. to repre-
sent the empire parish of ST Landry of he-
tween forty and fifty thousand inhabitants
and all during his absence and without his
knowledge. Why it was only last year, that
this fussy would he, but uninttuenfiai, minor
ity pronounced public address OF Mr.. Esti
lette's Republican, speech. The fact il, when
people, and especially office seeking p0liti
clans, talk too much, the public generally has
the habit of rather dunhtin what they say
dslr. Estilette, with 40 effort OH his part, has
achieved ii triumph, and we rejoice at It,

ship, when they appear upon stock. The re.
auirements of the law have been complied
With in the Journals case. The Radical party
owns it and it has not been counter branded
q We find nothing newer under the sun
than the organs attempt to palm off its prin-
eiples t9l and policy as the true Democratic
creed and usage of the party. AS well might
I,ucifer attempt to overthrow the theocracy
Of heaven by the dictation Of Plutonic meas
ures, as for it to set itself up as the type of
Democracy in ST. Landry Esau sold his es-
cred it. The organ sold its Democratic home
stead for Radical pap, and the mortgage will
remain upon it for all time to come.

will be pressed to enter into what it, in its
elegant and chaste language, styles politi-
cal mudhole," by the Democracy OF st. Ian
dry-the ss mudhele y into which it has for
years past been wallowing has untitled it for
