But gentleman this shall not come
from me. Let US see how much vital sup
port this committee proposes to give me.
After twelve days silence you meet here
to-day and demand Of me certain things
and threaten me that il they are not
forthcoming you propose to sit quiet in
the future during this canvass as you
have in the past. Gentlemen you can
do SO and the responsibility will rest
where it properly belongs. and that it is
with you, Mr.. Chairman and members Of
the committee. When you will have by
your luaewarm action defeated the Re-
publican party in this district as your
will by your present. actions. Thou
canst say did it. With these remarks l
leave 1t to the best Of your judgment as
to how you will manage the affairs Of
the Republican party in this the trying
moment of this party.
Many of its leaders were against my
nomination notably in the parish Of st.
Mary where they attempted to stif1e the
voice Of the people. The people being
equal to the emergency took the matter
in their hands and put aside these leaders
and sent new representatives to the con-
ventiOn such leaders as would carry out
there desires. The masses nominated me
and if they are let alone will elect me- to
Congress.
Now the convention has adjourned and
the politicians have taken the rights Of
the people in their hands. Yes! you have
usurped the authority Of the people and
defunct committee as you are are seek
ing to undo what a convention fresh
from the people has done. Whether you
are right or wrong the future will tell.
There is proverb as true as it IL old:
II the mountain will not come to Maho-
met, Mahomet must 60 to the mountain.
II my withdrawal from the field as can
didate for Congress, in your judgment
will bring about success peace and pros
perity to the party accept this gentle
men my withdrawal. With me 1t is
party first. No act Of mine shall OBJ
struct its progress.
In conclusion and in order to do JUS
tice to my constituents and more parti-
cuiarly those who voted for me In the
convention l ask that this statement be
spreaded on the minutes Of this commit
tee. Very respectfully
j. s. Davidson.

letter giving his reasons for withdraw
ing from the canvass.
Bayou Goula Oct. 9 1886
Mr.. President and Members of the Third
District Committee Of the Republican
Party.
Ten days have elapsed since the AL
journmsnt of the convention that did
me the honor TO make me its standard
bearer. To my utter surprise not one
step, one effort, or even one line has
reached me from the chairman or secre-
tary Of the committee which is the re-
cOgnized head Of the Republican party in
the district as to the course or manner il
will pursue In this campaign.
Again sirs l have received at least sew
enty five letters Of congratulations and
promises Of support but to my amaze
ment not one line has reached me up to
date from single member Of the con.
vention that opposed my nomination
not even the president Of the convention.
Not one white Republican can be recor.
ded among this bundle Of COngratula
lions; but to the contrary 1t is rumOred
at Democratic headquarters that thOst
white republicans headed by the warm
hearted gentleman from Terrebonne and
iberia. viz: Messrs. H. C. Minor and The.
Odore FOntelieu, that they and the white
Republicans would not support the nom.
inatiOn made at HOuma.
How much of this rumor ia true l am
unable to say; but l do know that there
is great deal of lukewarm feeling in
this campaign. Up to the time 1 was
nominated at HOuma very few Of the
white Republicans favored my nomina
ton; among them l know of only two
that were outspoken. One was that true
and tried son of Lafourche, Judge Tay
lOr Beattie and the other ex-pOstmasteI
Boudreaux.
Now gentlemen my nomination shows
two things one Of which is that the col
Ored men will vote for any honest Re.
publican let his color be white or black
the other that the majority Of white
Republicans will not stand by and sup
port cOlored Republican.
went to the convention in the mi
nOrity; the committee that made up the
temporary roll Of the convention was
against me; they put out every delegate
that they could get pins point against
that was favorable to me; they organized
:ha committee against me even after
was nominated.
Twelve days have elapsed since 1 was
nominated and the committee has not ap-
pointed campaign committee, neither
have they done anything like making
preparations for canvass.
The action Of the white Republican
with few exceptions and by your &C.
tions in this particular you say to me
and through me to the mssses that con-
stitute the Republican voters Of this dis
trict that you are good voters and we
love you as such but not as aspirants.

The Home Rule Debate.

New York, May 21.-Mail and Express
London Gable: Mr.. Gladstone at q din.
nsr party last Tuesday was Questioned
as the success of his home rule measure
and the probability Of getting a majority
for it. He replied: "The bill is as sure
to pass as I am sitting in this chair.
The reports Of the liberal whips and
the sentiment of the Gladstoneites up to
this time confirm the premier's confid-
dence. Chamberlain's behavior had an
unexpected effect in Mr.. Gladstone's
favor. If it had not been for his recent
blunders and his awkward revelation Of
his personal animosity to Mr.. Gladstone,
probably the utmost exertions of the
old commoner would have carried the
bill through this parliament. Even
now the number OF men who agree with
their leedersin his certainty Of the pas
sage is relatively small.

The West Side Nail Rsute.
. The Editor Of the NEW Dox1x1os

To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
FAYETTEVILLE, May 18.-I learn
from a source which consider relia-
BILE, that parties are trying to get ar
rangments made for our mail route to
connect with the railroad route at
Rivesville
l see no advantage that the people
of that place would gain by such
change while we of the other office
would doubtless be injured thereby.
Usually our up mail, as we call it,
must be day later getting to Fair
mont, because it would be hardly
possible for it to reach Rivesville
| in time to be ferried over for the
train, and if it did what would il
gain?
Then returning it would be subject
to delay of an hour or so from the
present schedule, which gives us .
sure connection and regular mail
and am of the opinion it would b.
decidedly better to let the present
arrangements alone.
