THE pUJ0L MATTER.
Soliciting votes and support. Yes!
Colonel Wilkinson has solicited sup
port. How many times has his ad-
versary solicited support in New Or
/ Ieans?"
"i;ut, what IS TIE use Of supporting
Sanders when his election is an i'm
possibility" said Mr.. Herman.
BORN IN OFFICE.
III. Herman then took up the pub
| lic life of Sanders, saying that he
had almost been bo. IN office. and
asked what had he accomplished dur
ing his public life, or what useful
legislation bears the impress OF his
oiiiceship? His time seems to have
been taken up in the PRONUNCIATION Of
a platform. A good many people
would rather lie judged by their plat
form than their record. There is
vast difference between promises and
performances. His public activities
had been chiefly restricted to the
pro..uigation Of a platform.
The st. Mary poll taxes, the con-
stitutional convention, the merger
bill, the reduction OF the governors |
patronage. the primary election law |
were each discussed in telling man
ner by Mr.. Herman.
OFFICE HOLDERS.
The address of Mr.. Herman was
brought to a close by him stating
that Sanders WAS and is the candi-
late of the office holders, while Col
]nel Wilkinson is the candidate Of
he people.
