Gov. ncEnery.

We transfer, with pleasure, to our col
nnnes. an article from the Democrat, ofTan-
gipAhoa parish, ,nfging and endorsing the
claims Of Governor McEnery to a re-nom-
ination Tor Governor. -,
% In the trying ordeal Gov. McEnery has
PACED through, as the leader of a forlorn
hope, he has made gallant fight. What he
has dundergone for the people, no one but
himself knows, or can know. In the Ma:
tepAlaseect ofLouisiana'a political troubles
s4i.ce 1877. Gov. Mcfsnery has borne himself
sWt9R dignity and ina manner with which
nm eyer theiseverest Radical criticism has
fp49d ,fauAt. His speeches, messages and
lftteSs J.aysiall been temperament, though
aFBn aqd have received either warm ap-
pnpPTiefions or careful attention. That

;WhHteyeE may he the action. of the Demo-
cratic state Convention in its choice for Gov
tsfn9r, Coy; McEnery will stand by the
result result and give the nominee warm and
p6IyyeEfgl support. We do not know that he
desTes denomination, but the fact that
tor neArly four years he has been the en-
podiment of the peoples resistance to usur-
pAtion; AND Federal dictation is a very
stf6ng reason In favor of his nomination u

son can pc interpreted to decide the ballot
agAinst Gov. McEnery, which is, the mater
Of stfehgth and Availability, ana in deciding
this Question Gov. McEnery will be the
LAST man to permit his personal claims or.
feelings to weigh aught against the 20 It'll
