Colonel Stubs at Gonzales.

Colonel Stubbs during his speech
at Gonzales last Sunday did not
discuss any of the important ques.
tions raised by Mr., Parker's plat
form, but he did wax eloquently
and bitterly warm on Governor
Pleasant aud Mr.. L. E. Thomas.
His wrath boiled over when he
mentioned the Governor. forget.
ting that his quarrel with the Gov.
crnor and his abuse of the man,
can in no way retard Parker's sue.
cess with the people.
With the irate Colonel the Gov.
ernor's chief offending is in the
fact, that he, about month ago,
with a delegation of other leading
democrats, waited upon Mr.. John
M. Parker and requested him to
declare for Governor, insisting
that the people needed him and
wanted him. This, to those who
look at it nationally and fairly.
was commendable in Governor
Pleasant. There is. at least, moth
ing unseemly in his action and
that of the delegation. Perhaps,
when he made the request of Mr..
Parker. he never thought Of Col.
Stubbs at all. He was delivering
sn important message to Mr.. Par
ker from the people, and. moved
by a strong and laudable impulse
ror the good of Louisiana. he in
sisted on his accepting the trust
And withal. the words he uttered
were not violstive of any of the
moral proprieties. for what he did
say was the living truth.

No one can read that manly and
patriotic address OF Mr.. Brazaala
without being deeply inspifed with
his stirling honesty of purpose
and self.sacri6cing patriotism.
He said: "If | continue in the
