have been recognized by his party in the
numerous calls ne has had to fill high offices
of honor and trust. Educated in the public
schools Of New Orleans, he has since his boy
hood mingled with all classes OF our people,
and has performed every duty OF the citizen.
AS q soldier, legislator, president OF the re-
cent Convention, and as Acting Governor dur
ing the absence Of Gov. Nichols, he has
shown himself faithful to his trust, perform
ing what to him appeared his duty, without
fear or favor. A pure-minded, true hearted
man and a straightout Democrat, he will
tunes and our State. Therefore our next
choice for Governor Is Hon. Louis A. Wiltz.-

Speaking OF Mr. FL. J. Rivet and the So
called anti Democratic ring movement in
New Orleans, the Baton Rouge Capitottan
course he don't want any office, nor his friends
either. This movement is not one composed
OF the grand army Of the aouts," who desire
to "get jn," nor OF those who want to break
up one ring" BY the formation OF another.
They are not politicians at all, and to prove it
we expect soon to read their address declaring
that each and every one OF them will posi-
lively refuse to accept anything except the
thanks Of a grateful people. They will no
doubt soon appoint proper committees TO walt
on gentlemen who are on the outside, quietly
dreaming Of anything else save to have hon
ors and emoluments thrust upon them by the
"anti ti-rtngers," and select from among these
their candidates for office. just as soon as
the Rivet party proclaim that such Is their
programme, will we announce that the politi-
cal Millennium has come. We sincerely hope
that the good people of New Orleans will not
be disappointed in their expectations by see
ing sthe anti-ringers' 60 for the offices just
ike the frail mortaIs who are members OF the
Democratic ring"
