But Inconsistency is a jewel"
Is it moi, friend johnson
Another judicial convention, or
rather a reconsidering convention,
took place monday last in Donald.
sonville.
For the eight delegates from st.
James and the two New River ii.
gers, by nominating j. A. Cheevers
as judge, had proved more hasty
than sensible.
But when you correct an error
you deal like men.
And the error has been corrected
monday last Ivy eight delegates
from Ascension and eight delegates
from St.James.
st. James, this time, was repre-
sentcd in its two factions or sec.
tons. Como was there, and Shade
was there. Simms, aud Miles stood
behind the curtains, friends as be.
fore aud well disposed to sustain
the action of the first convention.
Is it not SO, Sonny
Arc you not the best friend of NJ.
Miles
Ii such is not the case, Sonny,
you may he charged with the black
est ingratitude towards NJ. Miles.
For NJ. Miles has always beer, true
to yon, and every one knows that
lie has lost one of his boots by
carrying YOU against the feel
'ngs and the will OF the people.
Alone. without you and Dick. he
could have faced the election with
a better chance than he may now
in co'npanionship with two poIiti.
cal hacks or Rossinantes.
But this isstraIge to our subject.
And the subject is that the Judi.
c'al convention of monday. reconsi.
dering its previous action, has l,ar.
moniousIy made the following noni.
nations.
IL. Dntfel, for District Judge.
and +. Earhart, for District Attor-
lley.
The votes for the Judge were as
follows. 125 for Ii. Dutfel and 81 for
). CI,eevers.
AS to Earhart, being alone, he
was rf.nominated by acclamation.

Another republican conveh.
t'on-for we are in the season OF
cOnventiOns-wlll he held today
ut the Court House of tile parish
of ST. James.
We may call it a senatorial con.
ventiOn.
For the nomination OF NJ. Simms.
the result OF al error. has given ga.
tlSfactlon neither to st. James nor
to Ascension, and the idea of hav.
ing Sonny Simms for senator is en-
c"edi"gly droll and superlatively
tarcical.
Senator Simms
SimmS a senator
Like Webster amongst us and
Cato amongst the Romans
Ii you believe this, countrymeu,
you may believe that Jonas swal.
lowed the whale, that Sampson
killed ten thousand Phi'istines
with his iaw.boue, and also that the
walls OF Jericho we're thrown down
i,y the noise rf Il horn.
Believe also that the moon is
fiat.
Sonny Simms a senator!
But the convention Of to dav will
affirm that the moon is round and
that Sonny Slmms shall never be
Il l'nter Conscriptus,
III there is IA man III the parish
Of St. James who understands some.

For we are in a Babel of confl.
