Stubs in NatchitCCheS
Not withstanding the bad wealth

Not outstanding the bad wealth

his friends.
lie spoke to three large and re-
preventative audiences at Campti
Natchitoches and Robeline.
At Natchitoches, the Court
house was filled to it's capacity
with numbers of people, com
PEELED to stand in the hall, and
doors at The outside because they
could not get seats within.
Col. Stubs was a stranger, eX-
cept by reputation, to most of our
people, and he left the parish
much stronger than when he came
into it.
He is man of engaging person
atty; in the prime of young mid
die life; his voice is low and we'll
modu!ated and he gives the i'm
preston of much reserved power.
One of the remarkable events
Of the present campaign is Col.
Stubs development as cam
paign orator. His friends have
known him as a clear. headed law
yer and q clean successful bust
ness man, but they did not expect
| him 10 make, at least this early in
the campaign, one Of the most
effective stump spe .kers that this
state has known for years. He
possesses IN almost pncanny
knowledge Of the political history
of this state, and It's public men,
particularly that of his opponents,
Mr.. Parker and Governor Pleas.
anr, and this fac. gives him the
rover which he uses with crush
ing effect 10 strike back at them.
AS an illustration Of this, we
cite two Incidents:
To Mr.. Parker's implied charge
in a recent joint debate that be,
Col. Stubbs) was a Tom Ander-
SOP democrat, he Instantly replied,
to this effect. that Tom Anderson
was not a citizen of his home town
as he was of Mr.. Parker's, and he
asked why it was, that it Tom
Anderson was such an awful
character Mr. Parker, life long
resident of New Orleans, had found
.itaogI, only since be became q
candidate for governor. and then
he said, TON Anderson may be
as black as they paint him bat he
is not as black as j. p. Sullivan
or Dominick O'Malley. two ardent
supporter and advisers Of Mr..
Parker"
Col. Stubs was careful to limit
his criticism of these men includ-
ing Mr.. Parker, to their political
and public records. Then in re-
Spouse to the charge, that he had
committed some great crime by!
accepting the support of the regu-
lar organization in New Orleans,
he called the roll of every demo-
cratic governor 10 this state since
1876. Nichols and Wilt and Nc
Emery. and Foster and Heard,
Sanders and the last
half Of Halls ADMINISTRATION, aud
Pleasant, and charged, What every
body knows to be a fact, that every
me of these democratic governors
lad accepted the support of tie
New Orleans democracy and had
recognized it, and asked the ques-
ion whether the people of Louisi-
ma were prepared to condemn
i'm for doing just what these
emocrats had zone.
One of the things which must ! |
ave attracted universal common
alton was the care with which he
voided saying anything that could
e constructed into a personal at
lex upon anyone.
Col. Stubs will return to this
arish before the campaign is over !;
I'd afford a large number of our
tizens an opportunity to become
srsonally acquainted with theiriI
,Xt governor. II
