Mr.. Patterson Writes a Letter.

New Orleans Picayunc: Mr.. w. 5.
Patterson. Il prominent citizen OF
high character. and who has been
engaged in several political move
ments in New Orleans. but always
refusing to accept any public o11ice
or emolumcnl, has written a some
what singular letter. which mas been
made public in an unusual way, and
as il is connected with the present
gubernatoriaI campaign, is Of some
public interest.
The letter in question is addressed
to MIR Michel, stating that he. MI.
Patterson, indorsed Michcfs can
didacy on condition that he, Mr..
Patterson. was not bound to vote
for Michel. That was most sin
gular Endorsement, which was in
tended to have no actual standing,
but was for show.
Now, Mr.. Patterson in the letter
to Michel, announces that lie has
withdrawn that Endorsement be-
cause Of Mr.. MicheFs land pur-
chascS.
But evidently Mr.. Parkerson
wanted his letter to be made public,
and to insure its publicity he sent q
copy of the letter to Mr.. Robert Ew-
ing, the most outspoken and bitter
political enemy Of Michel, and it was
published in the States and is pub
lished in this mornings Picayune.
Except that il is an expression of
Mr.. Parkerson's well known eccen-
tricities, il can attract little atten-
ton. But it was. surely a singular
sort of Endorsement of Mr.. Michers
candidacy, that it was
expressly conditioned that it COM
mitted the indorser to nothing. 1t is
difficult to see how the withdrawal
