The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1874-07-11
FOR STATE SENATOR.

Hon. Pierre Landry of this parish
having received the Republican NOM
ination for the position of State Sena-
tor from the Seventh District, we
place his name at the head of our col
umns, and will give him our earnest
support during the approaching can
vass. Our friendship fol- Mr.. Landry
has often found expression in the
CHIEF, and we have for some time
foreseen with considerable satisfaction
that the delegates from Ascension to
the Senatorial Convention would give
him their unanimous support and in
all probability secure his nomination.
st. James having had the Senator for
the past six years, Ascension is justly
entitled to the position now, and no.
better man could have been selected
from among our Republican leaders
to fill the high and honorable station
than the candidate whose name we
place before our readers to-day. No
one acquainted with Mr.. Landry and
his record as member of the House
of Representatives for the past two
years will question either his personal
integrity or his competency for the
position to which he now aspires, and
those best aware of his standing with
the people of the district feel that he
will not only poll the full vote of his
own party, but will receive the sup
port of many citizens who are not al
lied with any political organization
but will cast their ballots for the best
men.
To show that Mr.. Landry is appre-
eiated abroad as well as well as at
home, we append herewith the COM
ments of some of our brethren of the
press upon his nomination. The New
Orleans Republican of June 23rd says:
A Republican convention was held at
Donaldsonville Saturday, the twentieth in
slant, for the purpose OF nominating a Sen
ator TO succeed Hon. George e. Bovee. This
senatorial district includes the parishes of
st. James and Ascension. There were six
teen delegates present. Hon, Pierre Lam
dry of Ascension, was nominated on the
FIRST ballot ppcpIVIn0 nine tn
for w. IL. Hagins, of st. James. The nomi-
nation was made unanimous. Mr. Landry
was member of the lower house in the
last Legislature, and will no doubt make
good Senator. In this district a nomination
from the Republican party is equivalent to
an election.
Jolly of the Attakapas Register errs
in saying Mr.. Landry served six years
in the House, but he is all right 9TH
erwise
Hon. Pierre Landry has been nominated
as the candidate for Senator in place of
Geo. E. Boyee, in parishes of Ascension and
st. James. Mr.. Landry has been member
of the House for six years, and has the
reputation of an honest man, besides being
respected by all classes of people in his par
lsh. lie will undoubtedly be elected, and
the Senatorial district will be ably repre-
sented
The Southeastern Aduocate of New
Orleans has this to say:
Hon. Pierre Landry, of Donallsonville,
La, we are pleased to see, has received the
Republican nomination of his senatorial dis
trict, for the State Senate. Mr. Landry has
for several years been q member of the
House of Representatives,, and as his |
nomination is equivalent to an election, he
will hereafter be in the Senate. He is one
of the few men in political circles whom
we fully endorse as u Christian gentleman,
and safe adviser in our State affairs.
Senator Weber of the Dunn Leader
expresses his opinion in this wise:
Hon. Pierre Landry, member in the
Lower House of the last General Assembly. |
was on last Saturday nominated by tie |
Republican party of the Seventh Senatorial |
District for the position of State Senator: |
sad district comprising the parishes of st. |
James and Ascension. Mr. Landry repre- |
sented his constituents in the last LegisIa- |
tnre with ability and integrity, and if elect |
eel to the more responsible position of State |
Senator, we have no doubt he will serve the |
people of the district to their satisfaction |
and do credit to himself. So mote it be.
