NJ or handsome Senator elect
Who Won The sweetest smiles Of the
ladies Aad tie loudsst plandits Of
the audience. He toWoeed above
tie smaller fly about him - Jupi.
Ter above Tie lesser gods, and when
be launched Tie thunder.bolt Of his
wrath upon ths Press Of this city Il
really seemed to the innocent audi
ence - Il he were stirred BY hon.
ct indignation, and - Il Bic I'M
maculate soul were shocked and
saddened BY tie charges he had
made.
| Again The handsome Senator
grew eloquent, almost fearful, - he
adverted 70 the failure Of the Legis-
lature to press the investigation
into the charges Of bribery asked
for BY Senator Foster. He said:
| 81 hope the day win come when
the mist OF this controversy wears
away, when voices win be found to
move the expunging q that record
from The Legislative history a The
State o1 Louisiana"
| Fine words these! And from Tie
lips Of IN honest and pure man they
would be entitled to serious con-
sideration. Il Senator-elect White
an honest man? L. he . pure man?
Or Is be . hypocrite and q cheat:
Let us see. There are rumors thick
as leaves in Vallambrosa, to the ef-
feet that the saintliness Of our Sem
ator-elect is assumed; that he at
tanned to the dignity Of which he is
80 proud by means that were not
pure. Nay, we have heard such
things Of this godly man as would,
il proclaimed from the roetrum at
Grunewald Hall, before the audi.
ence that assembled there on Wed.
nesday evening, convert the smiles
Of the ladies into glances OF scorn
and derision, and the shouts Of ap-
plause into hoarse and angry yells
Of shame.
Are these rum,es true? Can
Senator-elect White afford to per.
init them TO be circulated until they
reach the ears Of that august body
in which he hopes some day to be |
seated? VIII the Senator tell the
people Of New Orleans how much
money It took to secure him bis
election to the United States Sen.
ate by the Legislature Of Louisi.
ana? Win he tell where he got the
money and in what special chan.
nels it was disposed Of?
These are not idle questions. The
rumoFs to which We refer are on
everybody's lips; they are either
true O. they are false.

planat3on. II b can prove TIE 70.
