MARKsvILLE, August 7, 1870.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
The contest for State Senator and other
officers in Avoyelles and Concordia parishes,
bids fair to become quite interesting. At the
Republican nominating convention beld at
Marksville on the sixth instant, the follow
ing selections was made: For State Senator,
Louis Trager, Esq, of Concordia parish;
for Representatives, Cyrus H. Ross and
Joseph Laurent, Dr.; for Parish Judge, j..
NJ. Edwards; for Sheriff, Alexander No
gueze.
c. F. Hulsman, ESQ.,, Of Aveyelles, was
unanimously recommended for the position
of Parish Register, and should more than
one be required, it was requested that
Messrs A. Nogueze and J. NJ. Edwards be
appointed.
c. f. Hulsman Esq. was elected delegate,
and Pierre Magloire as alternate, to the
State convention. The convention was
quite unanimous, and the canvass to follow,
although certain to prove exciting, will
probably result in the election of the candi-
dates named.
