4 SPLENDID RALLY.

On the night Of the 9Th, in the
city of New Orleans the Democratic
campaign opened with one OF the
greatest speeches We ever read, de-
livered by Governor McErery.
He started out with the following:
During the recent campaign letter
was addressed to me inquiring OF me
whether / would support Gen. Mich
oils if he were nominated by the
State Democratic Convention. My
reply was. that 1 would, with pleas
ure, do so, and that l would do all
in my power to aid i'll his election"
Our reu'lsrs, doubtless, will re-
member that it was tho editor Of the
BEACON that addressed this letter to
Gov. Millinery. His answer was as
we expected, patriotic and displayed
that devotion to democratic princi
ples that S. ID. McEnery is 80 noted
for. A better democrat does moi
live than s. d. McEnery. He is one
among thousands who can lay Gowr
personal interest and feelings t.
engage in wolk for the Democratic
party. His speech contains fiv'
columns Of line print. We would b.
pleased to reproduce it but owing
to its length have not the space.
