Editor New Delta, New Orleans, La:
i Dear Sir-In view Of the impor.
tance Of Democratic unity and the
hope that the electoral vote Of
Louisiana be cast ut the approaching
national election f0e . Democratic
nominee, permit me to urge through
the columns Of your valuable paper,
that Whatever be the decision Of the
committee Of seven, It is the bounden
duty OF Ill good Democrats to abide
by that decision. I am willing to
70 on the hustings in advocacy Of
the regular Democratic nominee for
Governor of Louisiana, whoever he
may be. Very truly,
+. S. ADAMS.
This letter is inspired and per.
meated BY the spirit Of genuine
Democracy, and will furnieh .
healthy example to follow to those
citizens Of Louisiana. particularly
On the Foster side. who seem not to
know that the first and essential
principle Of the Democratic creed Is
. ready and hearty acquiescence in
the expressed will OF the majority.
Capt. Adams has deserved we'll Of
the community on several occasions,
more especially Of the faction with
which be has aligned himself. during
the campaign that win soon close (;
and from al the community. with |
out exception, he has earned graft
tude for that, while many leading
men on the Foster side have been |
INDUCING in constant torrents Of
shameful personal abuse aud vilifi-
cation, he has not followed the evil |
example nor ever descended to the |
handling Of such undignified and
indecent weapons. That the PEG
| pie Of Louisiana have already notch
ed down to Capt. Adams credit
and the fearless and 0utspoken de.
sire in the above letter for . restora.
ton Of harmony in the party will be
notched down by them to his great
er credit still. Capt. Adams ranks
himself among the sspeace-makers ;"
end his example is commended and
viii be followed by . vast majority
Of voters who find themselves on the |
losing ticket.
There will always Of course, be o
few malcontents, fire-brands and
irrec0ncible partisans who will set
themselves up to know more than
the majority Of the people. and who ,
would not deny themselves the lux.
ury il they could, just to show
their superiority over the common
horde, OF antagonizing and fighting K
the cleariy-expressed wish OF the ,
great body Of the citizens. These
men are the stormy petrels Of poll /.
tics, whs regard nobody greatly,
and whom nobody greatly regards. Z
There are few Of them sounding | {
their ill-omened notes in the COM
munity at present, but they pro.
baby do not call for much.
In fact there are cheering signs :
everywhere about, in expressions s
eAlling from many Of the leading q
fostefite partisans, and in senti-
nents urged BY The Fosterite organs
hat there win be . pretty general y
lcquiescence Ia the result Of the .
election. q
