vOcate.
The candidates out in Iberyille are J. s.

Nearly every one we have seen from the
wards favor primary election in
stead OF a parish convention to nominate can
didates. They all say they are In favor Of
action, and that the primary vote
IS the best plan to secure harmony Baton
Rouge Advocate.
We notice pouring In on every side new
for the Governorship. AS for us,
our choice has never been changed. For three
years the Sentinel has borne at It's head the
name Of T.. a. Wilt as the candidate Of this
parish for the Governorship, and our dele
gates have voted solidly for him. Mr.. Witt
IS as worthy Of this honor as ever and will be
still unanimously supported by our dclega
tion.-[St. Martin (Attakapas) Sentinel.
The Republicans seriously propose to put
up a full State ticket, headed BY Judge Tay~
lor Beattie, Of Lafourche, Col. John a. Ste
venson, OF Iberville, or some like Corserva-
tive leader. For awhile Gov. Warmotn had
the inside track decidedly, but it 10 said the
small prospect Of election, and the necessarily
large expenditure Of funds to run tho canvass
caused his absolute withdrawal. There are
some, however, who suspect q ruse On the
part Of this chieftain to capture the nominate
ing convention at the eleventh hour and win
the honors easily at the expense OF the con
Morgan City Review.
