OUR SENATORSlilP
Is Sabine Entitled j.!
ISabine SouthrOn.1

ISabine Southron.1
The approaching election is ono of
more than ordinary magnitude to the
people of the State of Louisiana.
The ruin which has been sutteted in
all the material interests of the coun
try by dishonest and incompetent Of
ficers should bestire every friend to
his country to m active interest in
the selection of compiten} men in this
election. Reforms of the most impor-
tanct character are needed and desir-
able, which can only be effected by
the choice il the ensuing election By
honest and capable men to make and
administer the laws Of the country.
We are satisfind that a sufficient ill.,
terest is already being felt by the real
and substantial men Of the country,
and the most important consideration
to ensure success is harmony aud
unity of action by the democratic par
ty in the nomination and support of
EOuU uuNl u 40 uICu.
We feel assured that the people of
Sabine will now, as heretofore, be
found 10 the frount ranks, contenling
with the whole vote for the cause OF
democracy and liberal government.
We claim the privilege iu this cleo
ton of presenting the candidate from
Sabine Parish to fill the vacancy in
this Senatorial District III the next cl-
ection, which right we have every
reason to believe will be accorded.
In the numerous selections of caudi-
dates to I'LL that position in this dis
trict, Sabine has never had that hon
or of presenting a single candidate.
As tho claim of this parish have never
been urged, we do not by any means
make it . subject of complaint, but
claim that the right Of rotation and
an equal distribution of office shoulA
be shared fairly and impartialy with
each other. v ~!
This claim is not set up in the in
terests of and particular man or set
of men, but 10 behalf of the whole
people of the parish, and underline
full assurance that our claims with DO
respected, and that We will be able to
present them with an honest and eff
cient representative.
(DeSoto Democrat.]
The Sabine Soathron claims tho
privilege, for that parish, of Present
ing the Democratic candidate for tho
Ss0atorslnp from this District. Now
We are willing for Sabine to have it,
provided she has the most suitabl,
person for the position. We want the
best mao in the District to fill the office
regardless of what parish he lives in.
Tho .Southron clims it by right At TO
tation 10 Office, and asserts that Sabine
never had the honor of presenting Il
single candidate' Now we beg leave
to diffe. with the Southron, aud ask
him to say where Hon. R.. L. Arm
strong was from when he was in the
Senate, he certainly was from the
"Free, State, If Sabine" Now upon
that ground DeSoto would be Untitled
to the Office, for although Hon. j. B.
Elan was once elected to the Office,
re was counted out by the Returning
Board. However, We would scorn to
claim 1t by rotation, aud it there is
,any DeSoto aspirants, who have no
better claim than that, wo advise
them to haul 10 their horns, and quit
the race. Put the best man farward
you have, and if no more suitable
candidate, in point Of fidelity to the
party, and honesty Of purpose, as well
ability, can be presented, yon will
doubtless get him nominated; bnt
should better mao be presented
sy any other parish, we are 10 favor
q not considering the simple idea Of
rotation.
