TREASURER DUBUCLET.

The Republican State Convention ended
its labors in the happiest manner by re-
nominating the gentleman who has for
nearly six years been the Treasurer Of
the State. It was proper reward for
faithful service, and decisive majority of
the convention rendered it to him freely
and gratefully. But it was not merely
the success of Mr.. Dubuclet over an able
and popular opponent that was the source
of pride to him and the party. 1t was
the recognition by the chosen representa-
tives of Republican voters Of his sterling
integrity, high character and unsurpassed
fidelity to duty and principle.
Uneasy, indeed, has been the position
of the State Treasurer during the past few
years. Attacked at one time, ignored at
another by the Auditor, restricted by the
courts, buffeted by the unthinking public,
his hands tied and then loosed-these
were days when he knew not what the
morrow might bring forth. But through
it all he pursued uniform course, with
no turn aside, and he came out of the
furnace as unchanged as he went in, but
with the increased respect of his fellow
citizens, as was we'll said in the conven-
ton, he appears before US as tried and
proved public official, faithful to his
duties, firm in observance of the law,
sincere in his convictions, open hearted
and honest to all men; an honorable,
honest, educated gentleman who asks an
Endorsement at our hands for the course he
has, according to his conscience, pursued"
And he received it. And it was graceful
and generous acknowledgment of his
worth when the Hon. Frank Morey, al
though if he had persisted in still stand
ing as a candidate another vote would
have been taken, before the count was
announced to state that he retired from
the contest and to move that Mr. Dubu-
clet be made the unanimous choice of the
convention.
The enthusiasm that was then exhibited
was complimentary alike to Mr.. Morey
and to Mr.. Dubuclet. It insures the re-
election of the latter, and as '.keeper Of
the strong box of the State all may be
assured that an able, vigilant and honest
officer watches over the finances so far as
the law and his duties permit.

appetite, for its dictates would make him
of secondary consideration in the State.
He wants no definitely fixed form OF re-
publican government, even with himself
as President, for republics are ruled by
the people, and their Presidents are linn
tied in power by constitutional laws.
The sentiments of France and the law Of
his land are not now his chief concern.
All that has been in many he will be in

THE CONVENTION AND THE CANVASS

I'LL CUN I'm 1lUN AMI I'LL IAN VASS
The good sense and good feeling mani
tested by the convention in its latter
and concluding sessions will diffuse a
sentiment of pride and confidence through
out the Republican party of Louisiana.
The ticket presented for the State and
congressional election is unexceptionable,
and may be supported with enthusi-
asm. 1t is composed of the class of
men, who, according to the standard
of the REPUBLICAN, furnish their own
record and require no defense. This
ticket is no impeachment to the pro-
gress or maintenance Of Republican prin-
ciples. These men take care Of their
own records. A Treasurer who has under
all the temptations Of example and GUS
tom administered millions of public
money without suspicion of self-proft;
members of Congress who have stood
as a unit in favor of measures
vital to the prosperity Of Louisiana;
a platform which afirms the doctrines
of Republican liberty, proposes the
choice of honest and competent men,
denounces those who would weigh down
the party with the burden Of their own
corrupt speculations, pledges itself to
fair election, deplores contests of races,
and deprecates violence and fraud at the
polls, insists upon political and social
freedom at home, and cares for the en-
shaved people of foreign country,
without respect to color or religion,
demands retrenchment of expenditures,
proscribes legislative corruption, and
specifies as inadmissible evils the heavy
and unnecessary expenses of revenue as
sessment and collection-all mark a reso-
lutte and intelligent determination to strip
the Republican party of all membranes,
and present its inpregnable principles as
the sole object of attack to the anti-Re-
publican forces.
If there were any wLo thought the Re-
publican convention could be inf uenced
by considerations Of corruption, indi-
