THE COMING ELECTION,

T, erotber mart of this mornings CRESCENT We
o,do.vor 10 n,nress on our readers the Importance
~ ,,n,aart;no Democratic tickets regularly nou'i
,,.t,a Il, me f1uIy constituted conventions OIL the
-. rha areument is intended to be general IN
s. character: but it has peculiar sgnlhcancy az
,h;s moment. We are on the eve of very
;,,,,ortant election For the first time in the last
az vars the people of the parish of Orleans are
"a exercise the right of choosing their parish
oaicers. The Democratic party is, at the same
time, called on to confirm the asoendency which it
iudsputably possesses, and to strengthen itself
for the severer contests which are before it.
II is extremely fortunate that at such moment
the ticket presented by the Democratic conven'
ton to the people of this parish is pre-
emiuently worthy of support. There is
absolutely no excuse for any man tha'
honestly desires the success of the Democratic
party, and acknowledges any obligations to inc
Democratic organization, to vote against slhsle
one Of the candidates presented. General Hays
who heads the ticket, is well known IN TINS com
munity, he has eudeared himself so greatly to oul
people both by the events of his public career ana
by his personal qualities and he is SO deservedy
popular, that word of commentator rom Us
micsst seem to be absolutely superfnous. Inc
fact that SO far he has no opposition shows the
/ strength of his name in this community. NOBODY
d;snntes ttat he will be elected, and everybody
knows that he will make an excellent and eiheieh'
leffeer.
of DR.. Delery, the candidate for coroner, we
may say that his was nomination emmently mt tt
! he made. Without any disparagement OF ms com
II the convention it can truly be said tina
Ibis s,nerior could nothave been found to discharge
1.-THE very important and responsible duue
of the Office for which he is selected. He oc
cupies . distinguished position in the med
ical profession, gained by many years of assiduou
and devoted practice, and his name is well an
fayorably known to the public as that OF any othe
physician in New Orleans. Apart even from hi
claims as the Democratic nominee, his pecula
fitness for the office of coroner should Undue
4 everybody to vote for him.
It is useless to go through the list of names 0
our ticket and lavish encomiums on each one {
the candidates. 1t is the duty of convention,
duty which it owes to its party no less than to ii
lpuhlie, to nominate worthy and acceptable mel
This duty has been discharged by the Democrat
convention in the selection of candidates at I'll
n approaching election The ticket from beginnir
to end is good one. There is no man on it wi
cannot be Voteu Ior ny every Dehioein' WIN
clear conscience and with the conviction that he
! thereby strengthening the power, and contirmi1
the supremacy Of the national Democratic orgar
cation.
We do not mean to say anything derogatory
!. the candidates named by that organization whit
has entered the field against the Democratic part
I We recognize upon their ticket the names Of got
men and excellent citizens, who would fill WORTH
and well the positions for which they have bee
: named; but we do say that while the Democrat
nominees possess all the qualifications Of person
character, and Of fitness for the office, it is the par
!, mount duty of members of the National Democrat
party to vote for them.
