LOUIsIANA.-Sta Conventions of the

The two united on the following coalition
ticket:
For GOVERNOR. McEnery.

Attorney General-H. n. Ogden.
Delegates were appointed to Baltimore

The Reform party is an off-shOot of
the Democratic-an the two combined,
are in minority of the whole people In
consequence of a disagreement about the
terms, no agreement ON a State ticket
with the Liberal Republicans was effect

ments of opposition to Grantism in our
neighbor State will be united in the Pres
ldential election. Her politics are now in
a very unsatisfactory muddle.

The Cotton supply.

The \. Y. Bulletin, usually accurate
authority upon financial and crop topics,
in reference to the cotton supply says:
1t has been ascertained in England with
tolerable success that no increased supply
of cotton is TO be looked for from any part
of the world except the United States, and
that at the close of the present year stocks
Will be reduced to very narrow margin,
unless there are largely increased receipts
from America. Virtually, the value of the
worlds stock of cotton depends on the grow
ing crop in the United States.
The Bulletin adds that "during the
next few months everything relating
''to the great staple of the South will be
looked for with eager interest in both
Europe and America"
In view of the scarcity of the supply,
the market is advancing, and producers
may safely entertain hopes of remunera-
tive prices the coming season.

SELECT GOOD MEN FOR THE CITY COUNCIL

We have heretofore referred to the necessity,
incumbent upon the Republicans, Of placing a
strong city ticket in the field In their selection
of candidates for the City Council, there should
be no embarrassment. In three Of the Republi-
can Warda-the 9th, 8th and 9th-the present
incumbents do not desire reelection. New
men will have to be chosen, and the only effort
required is to make choice of the best 1t may
be said perhaps by those who do not see or APP
preciate the Importance Of Reform in the con-
duct of our city affairs that some of these Wards
are so strongly Republican that any candidate
of that party can be elected. This may be true,
or it may not, but it is most suicidal policy for
anv set Of political managers to follow. 1t dss-
troys public confidence in the soundness of thei,
Judgment and the purity of their policy, and
when the time Of trial comes, as it surely will,
they are condemned.
1t is proper to say, too, while considering this
subject, that it is no very strong recommends
tion for any one to anxiously desire reelection
to membership in the Council. After he be-
comes the regularly chosen candidate he may
with propriety canvass voters and bring out all
the support possible, for the general advantage,
as we'll as his own, but the solictous seeker or
nomination lays himself open to suspicion.
The duties of a member of Council are
arduous and troublesome, while the pay
is no adequate recompense. whatever
The rewards to the faithful and judicious mem
ber are the knowledge tina the is serving the
general interests and that he is honored by
his fellow citizens in being placed in such po.
sltion Of trust.
The Republican voters of each Ward have en-
tire control over this matter of choosing candi
dates for Council. They know who are theil
best men, and ought not to be deceived in thei
selection. They should sternly rebuke all out
side dctation, and if any influence attempts t,
'set up" candidate fol them to adopt, it SHOULD
receive such lesson at the hands of the indie
pendent voters as will prove that they are ca
pable of choosing for themselves, and determine
to do 30.
