THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT and HON. T. j. GAY.

O1S1RICT AND HON. Fl. y. GA \.
The Third Congressional District
was the last Republican stronghold in
the State of Louisiana. The other dis
tricts, one after another, hurled the
Radicals from power and sent true re-
representatives. of the people to defend
and advocate their cause in the halls
of Congress. In the Third District the
struggle of the Republicans for the re-
tention of power was most stubborn,
determined and prOtracted. Like
wolves driven to bay, they concentrated
all their forces in that district in the
memorable contest of 1884, when they
put mp for re-election the notorious w.
P. Kellogg, than whom no shrewder
nor more corrupt and INSCRIPTIONS
carpet-bagger and political trickster
ever trOd the soil of Louisiana.
Kellogg held strong sway over the
colored population of the district, and
the Democracy was not slow in recog-
nizing that in his candidature the
Radicals had brought forward their
strongest "a in the defense Of their
last stronghold. 1t was therefore in
cumbent on the Democracy of the dis
trict, as q prerequisite to success, to
select as it's standard bearer q maj
who would not only draw to his sup
port the full Democratic strength, but
also command the unlimited confidence
of all the good people of the district.
The Democracy of the district in
convention assembled in the town Of
Lafayette, in the year 1884, was con-
sidering the selection of such a man to
pit against the willy kellogg. The
task was no easy one ; not, indeed, for
the want Of "good men, and true," for
the district abounds in them, but be-
cause it was difficult to find any Of
the prominent leaders willing to un-
dertake what was deemed a forlorn
hope. In this strait Lafourche came
to the eseue and proposed q man, the
mention of whose name electrified the
convention. He was an elderly gen.
tleman, enjoying the seclusion and
ease Of private life on the peaceful
banks Of the mighty Mississippi, in
"Sweet Iberville," surrounded by all
the comforts that wealth affords. A
man Of undoubted integrity, vast in-
formation, respected by all his fellow
citizens, largely interested in the agri-
cultural industries of the country and
especially in sugar, and a staucch
Democrat, but a man who had never
sought nor received any political pre-
ferment, a total stranger to public life.
That man vas the Hon. Edward j.
Gay.
The convention rendered him its
unanimous nomination, and although
already arrived at that age when most
men seek retirement and domestic
comforts rather than the hustle, whirl
and worry Of . public life, he faltered

sHERMAN's SPEECH.

unique message on the questions o.

ability the general principle Of tariff
policy which has prevailed since the

surplus revenue IS not In itself 4
cause Of alarm, but ali Indication of
general prosperity; that such SUR
pluses had been frsquently dealt
with wisely by republican administra-
tions either by a reduction of the
public debt OF BY a reduction Of taxes.
All these reductions had been made
BY the republican pasty. The dem-
.ccratic party had had control Of the
house almost continuously for ten
years, and had not Ia that time orig
mated or proposed a reduction Of
taxes II had control Of it during
the two past years Of Mr.. Cleveland s
administration, but neither The pres
ident nor the democratic house, which
alone had the initiative of revenue
legislation, had done anything I'd re-
duce the surplus or 10 reduce taxes.
Not only that, but 4 large part Of
this surplus was due to the action of
the president himself ID vetoing the
appropriations for the river and har-
Dor bill and the dependent pensions,
while the house had not only refused
the pecsssary appropriations for 4
proper system Of coast defense, for
The navy aud other important objects
Of national concern, but had refused
to appropriate the $S. Doc, 900 required
to meet recognized deficiencies, or to
pass the senate bill refunding the
Sra 900, 900 Of direct taxes levied
uponthe states la 1869. Moreover,
the democratic secretary of the treas
ury had refused to exercise the pow
ers plainly conferred upon him by
law to apply aPf;li1f the plus 81 any part fsss
of il to the redemption Of United
States bonds. But for the course Of
the administration and the democratic
house upon thcsematters there would
have been no surplus at this time
