A great deal has been said in the city
and country press about the recent
nomination of Hon. Louis A. Witt as
THE democratic candidate for governor
of Louisiana, calculated to create an
impression that It was the result not
50 much Of Wits popularity, and fiji
ness for the Office, as of the successful
working of political machinery. Before
the nomination it was generally and
publicly asserted that he was identified
with ringsof corrupt and selfish poll
| ticians, and that he was indebted to
this ring, the dimensions and compost
tion of which have somehow never been
given, for his previously successful
public career.
Now that the nominations are over,
and The entire democratic press, and
his late democratic opponents, are uni
ted in his support, we can calmly and
impartially inquire into the secret of
his tremendous majority in the nomi-
mating convention. and learn from its
solution a lesson of practical benefit.
The secret is an open secret, and it
lies mainly in Gov. Wits Official COM
potency. Though yet comparatively
young, there is not one official position
in which this remarkable man has been
placed, and they have been many and
varied, in which he has not been found
fully competent to the most satisfac-
tory discharge of all its duties. In a
section where too often official prefer
ment, like kissing, goes by favor, the
masses of the people have had excel
lent opportunities, by sharp and pain
full contrasts, to note the difference
between a competent and incompetent
discharge of official duty, and they are,
slowly it is true, beginning to realize
that official incompetency is public
burden, too heavy and too expensive
to be borne
Again, Gov. Wilt has not only been
thoroughly competent TO the discharge
of every official trust reposed in him,
but he has shown a remarkable capacity
for the performance of official dirty
thoroughly and promptly without un
necessarily provoking the enmity of
those affected by its performance. He
possesses rare combination of firm
ness and courtesy, decision and DELHI
Grafton. Many men are fully compe-
tent to fill particular office, or 10 per-
form q particular duty, and yet seem
to think the public have no right to |
expect from them saything bnt com
potency. Hence, they are often abrupt,
conceited, and sometimes harsh and
overbearing, in the discharge of official
duty. This is grave mistake, and on
this rock many men, especially Young
men, have wrecked their prospects Of
official preferment The public officer
is, in the trnest sense, the public ser
want, and in this sense he is really the
inferior of the people, who are, in every
republican government, sovereign. The
people, who electa man to Office, have
an absolute right to expect courteous
treatment, as well as official competency,
from those whom their snffrages have
elevated to place and power.
Let the people, and especially the
Young men, of Louisiana, understand
the secret of Gov. Willis nomination,
and profit by it.
