Republican Convention,


! The Republicans seem to be as mucI,
at sea this year in their local politics AS
the Democrats of St. Landry were in
1876. The fight is whether they will
make nominations for sheriff aud parish
judge. The Chachere wing, who claim
to be the true party Republicans are in
favor of making full nominations, con-
demning all bartering and trading in
their party as corrupt and contrary to
party usage. On the other hand the
faction who want to endorse so-called
Democrats, wish toprevent nominations
and fear a nomination will injure their
candidates chances to fool Democrats
into voting for them. This wing sup
ports Thompsnn for sheriff and Arthur
Simon for parish judge.
The Ciachere wing met on last Friday
and nominated Alex. B. Chachere for
sheriff and JOS. l.. Clarke of Leonville
for parish judge. This in connection
with the fact that ,Chachere had an
nounced himself as the Republican can
didate for sheriff was giving him the
advantage OF Thompson (who it seems
is on the fence.) Consequently the en-
tire Cllachere or Thompson side. met on
Saturday following and nominated J. J.
Beauchamp for sheriff. Beaucl.amp is
Thompson's uncle, aud cannrt be a
as he is the registrars clerk
and consequently disqualified by law
But this mnve is made to pull the wool
over the eyes of C!nchere's supporters,
and cut him Oft as the Republican can
'lidate, and in due time Beaucl,amp. be-
ing disqualified, they would place |
Thompson on the ticket, and this would
i cooke Cllachere's goose." The trick
was. so: clear that tlle. most: ignorant.
'ouid see It. Hence the aglt goes nn for
he local oificers;< So far; as: their State.
senatorial and Legislative ticket, is
they are united.
