Our. Nominees.

Baton ltODge Is our n!sl, last
and only choice for the State cap'-
tai. For we sincerely believe that
until our Solons are removed from
the manifold attractions OF vice
and gIittering humbug, which SO
sorely try their virtue and distract
their reason in that cesspool OF
corruption, New Orleans, they will
be neither OF service to themselves
nor their country. The miserable
farce enacted by our last leglsIa-
ture which friltered away valua-
BILE time and treasure and accom-
plished nothing, is a sufficient rea,
son from which to draw the fore.
going conclusion. Without pre-
suming to enter upon a distended
detail of the various arguments
advanced pro and con, we offer as
our reasons for its removal from
New Orleans lst. TO rid the
legislature Of the ceaSeless and
persistent lobbying and button
holing by the mob of conntry-sa-
vers, shystcrs, deadbeats, bum
mers, broken-down politicians,
guttersnipes, ward strikers, shout
der hitters, gin gugg'ers and mo
nopolists who congregate around
the legislative halls Of the State
to hoodwink and bumfuddle the
unwary and bulldoze the upright.
I'd. The State already owns a fine
building and grounds at Baton
Rouge which can be repaired for
the sum it pays as rent to War
moth & Co., for the use Of that old
rookery, called the St. Louis Ho'
tel, the lease of which is but one
of the numerous jobs put up by a
corrupt legislature to bleed the
State. Sd, It was removed tC
New Orleans by an assemblage Of
hirelings who neither represented
the wishes of the people nor pro
tected their interests.

cupied with the passage of local and
