The Louisiana Press on the Dem
OcratiG State Nominations.

U,NSATISFACTORY.-It need not
be pretended that the nominations
for State officers made by the
Democratic Convention last Sat
urday are wholly satisfactory
They displease the Reform party
universally, and they displease
also large number of Democrats.
n. o. Bee.
We ascertain that a call, signed
by a long list of the best citizens
of Rapides parish, among them a
delegate to the late Democratic
Convention, has been issued, re-
-queSting the people of that parish
TO meet in convention for the pur-
pose of having a ticket put into
the field that will give satisfaction
TO the people. From every section
of the State comes up the same
story of dissatisfaction with the
proceedings of the body lately as
Sembled in New Orleans, and the
possibility is that something may
yet be done by the people them
selves to rectify the error commit
ted. We have no idea that it is
the intention of the public to Ion
ger allow their interests to be
jeOpardized by any such set of
scheming impracticables. The
ticket selected could not carry Il
corporafS guard as against any
organization that would take the
field against it. The people are
satisfied of this, and have made
up their minds To squash the
whole affair.

jOurned ON the Sth after lengthy
session. We have neither the
time or space TO attempt to- give
our readers the entire proceedings.
Failing to make Il coalition with
the Reform party and refusing TO
negotiate with another, and after
IA large number of the delegates
had either withdrawn or left for
their homes, the convention nOmi-
mated a straight out Democrat
ticket. The old policy of rule or
ruin was plainly demonstrated
In face Of the fact that there was
no possible chance of electing
such IA ticket, and contrary to the
express wishes of their constitu-
ency the delegates pushed nom
inatlon through the convention,
but 1t meets with no endorsement
from the press or the people, and
has fallen still-born in their hands,
and there is nothing lett for the
nominees to do but to decline to
accept the nominations, they
would be worse than IDIOTS to at
tempt to run the race through.

THE DEEoCRATIC STATE Tick
ET.-That much dissatisfaction
prevails with regard to the ticket
presented by the la:e Democra tic
Convention there is no doubt
Scarcely an exchange having any
interest in the matter that reaches
our Office does not express its
fears about the result, and the
people everywhere show dispo-
ton to kick out of the traces. The
New Orleans Times, of dace i'm
mediately after the adjournmS n
of the Convention, says:
"A diligent but Intellectual
search was made yesterday by an
enterprising and curious gentle
man, through all the clubs, the
hotels and other places of resort,
for a single supporter of the ticket
recently nominated by tue Demo
cratic Convention. The daring
man could not be found. Every
body said the list embraced very
respectable names, but they were
not strong enough to stand under
the weight they had to carry of a
nomination by such body and in
snch a fashion"
Commenting upon the above,
the Trenton (La.) Farmer says
that a diligent but Intellectual
search has been made to find even
single delegate that composed
the late Convention that is willing
to support the nominations they
made. We have met and convers-
ed with several since the conven.
ton adjourned, and have found
not single one but what express
themselves dissatisfied with the
decision of the convention. Some
are SO much dissatisfied that they
strongly urge the calling of anoth-
er convention of all those that are
opposed to.the Grant administra-
ton and the present State govern.
