AS TO THE "DOCUMENTS.

It is not our purpose here to
discuss in detail 1.-THE Documents
supposed to be proof positive OF
Mr.. Caifery's charges made in his
Donaldsonville speech. nor will
we discuss bis speech at the w ASH
ington Artillery Hall in New Or
leans. In due time a full state
ment Of the facts in the case will
be published and the public will
be left TO Judge for themselves as
to who is right and who is wrong.
We have seen enough to feel
absolutely safe in saying Mr.. CAT
fiery was a little too eager to bring
this matter before the public; that
he did not study his ground well
before making his leap; and that
what truth there is in the docu-
ments is highly favorable to the
parties he wishes to discredit.
We have had the pleasure Of a
long acquaintance, and we believe.
a close friendship with the Hon.
Don. Gallery, and it is no pleasure
to US to have to criticise him now.
No one knows better than him
self to what extent people get
worked up over politics. He
knows at best, political contests
never have the smoothest OF sailing
and invariably leave ugly paths
behind them. Mr.. Gallery should
think well. yes, very well, and act
very advisedly, too, before inject
ing into the political campaign
through which we are now strug-
Cling, matter that any fair-minded
man will admit is bound to be the
source Of bitter feeling and resent
ment. He has taken great re-
sponsibility upon his shoulders,
involving the peace Of the COM
munity and jeopardizing friend
ships that have been years, we
may say generations, in forming.
Whatever the consequences may
be, the responsibility will be
placed where it properly belongs
upon his shoulders.
From his point Of view, the
matter he introduces may be good
campaign material, but he will
find that the people at large do not
agree with him. He will also find
that his "documents" are not taken
seriously and his attitude is not
appreciated.

To the Editor st. Mary BANNER.
1t is indeed unfortunate for a
man when he is using the best he
has in the shop to harm another,
and he is only doing him good,
and do not perceive it.
Some time ago Mr.. Gallery fired
what was called his first political
gun at MIR. Sanders, some thought
it would harm him especially when
he said he had the proofs. Still
others said it was only a political
/, sci. ~" Last Saturday night in
New Orleans when he fired ais
big gun loaded with proofs against
Mr.. j. Y. Sanders, it was found
that that big gun was loaded with
proofs against Mr.. r. r. Cooke.

acted as a friend TO Mr.. Cooke.
Even going as far as making him.
self responsible to Mr.. III. Shelby
Sanders for the amount if he
wanted to hold him for it.
Mr.. Caffrey's big shot in New
Orleans plainly explains that Mr..
Sanders being as he is generally
known all over the State, espec-
tally TO the working man, as the
(poor mans friend), would not
leave Mr.. Cooke in trouble if he
could help him out.
Last Sunday when the morning
papers arrived ablazc with Mr..
Caifrey's political fire, the writer
was In company with several
qualified voters; there were some
Wilkinson men in the crowd, men
that had been Wilkinson since
the campaign opened. One of
them expressed himself as being
tired OF all that knocking against
Mr.. Sanders, for it seems il you
want to be- Il good Wilkinson man
you have to be a good knocker.
SO, If you are not Of knocking
the solution is easy.
Just get on the quiet side, that is
the }. y, side, for every one
that Mr.. Sanders does not
bother his head about all that
knocking. SO his supporters have

iers elected, for the more the
other side knocks, the more we
eel satisfied that he will be our

pared the call that Blanchard
issued for the extraordinary ses-

Mr.. Wilkinson, in the speech al
Marksville, Avoyelles parish, on
Friday night, November 9th, said
"And I have challenged my OPP
ponent, not once. but repeatedly
to say when and where | made any
charge against his personal char
acter."
Correct you are, Mr.. Wilkinson.
Now, sir. if you are an honest man,
answer these questions:
What do you contribute, if any
thing, or what do friends. known
to you, contribute the vile and
disreputable "Conflict?'
How many copies of this vile
sheet do you have sent out?
Have you ever denounced the
liars who have been sent through
this State to circulate vile and in
famous ISLANDERS?
Don't you know that every vile
thing that has boon said about one

do, why don't you denounce the
liars?
Did you tell prominent mer-
chant in the City of New Orleans
that you would be Governor Of
Louisiana if it cost you one hund-
red thousand dollars?
Is it true that one Of your friends,
a gentlemen we'll known to you,
had d conference with Governor
Blanchard, before the extra ses-
sion was called, and arranged for
the extra session solely in your
interest, hoping that something
would turn up to boost your fail

your friend promised Blanchard
