The full ticket nominated by the Demo-
cratic Convention at Baton Rouge Will 20
found al the head of the columns Of the DEMO
Graf this morning.
The candidates are we'll known to the peo-
Pile OF Louisiana, and need little, II any, intro
action at our hands, or Gov. Wiltz we have
already spoken, and hts splendid record as o
public man and party leader 10 familiar to
every man. woman and child In this State.
Hon. y. y. Mclsnery, who occupies the Sec
ond place On tho ticket as candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, has not been 80 prominently
Id political life. But, d true patriot, no has In
every campaign In the State spared time from
his professional duties to devote to the sue
cess of the Democratic party. This gentle
man 10 u son OF Col. Henry O'Neal McEnery,
Of County Limerick. who emlgrated TO Peters
burg, Va. and from thence to Monroe, La, IN
1895. II was In the latter place that Sam'l u.

law, under tho firm name Of Richardson "
McEnery.
He entered the army as second lieutenant

sh served gallantly through the campaign
Ill Virginia. and upon the reorganization OF
that regiment was promoted to a captalncy
In the regular army 70. 81. In which capacity
he served until the close OF the war.
s. ID. McEnery has been an earnest and ac-
tive participant In the political affairs Of this
State, but has never held any public Office.
His services TO the party have been con-
tinuous, and he ia o fitting representative Of q
section Of the State which has maintained the
Democratic standard amidst oil the struggles
OF our people to free themselves from the
constitution Of 1868 and Its radical conse-
quences.
His nomination was not only q proper
tribute to talented and estimable gentle
man, but 1t accorded representation to the
largest country district In the State, and one
which has by force OF circum stances been de-
prived for years past OF active participation
In the administration OF State affairs.
Hon. j. @. Egan received the nomination,
over several distinguished competitors, for
the responsible Office Of Attorney General.
This gentleman, q prominent lawyer OF Ciai-
borne parish, was appointed, Ia 1877. Assistant
Attorney General BY Gov. Nichols. and has
ever since served the State ably and well In
that capacity.
Hon. Allen Jumel. our present Auditor,
elected Id the hot and tiercely contested CAM
paign Of 1876, was nominated for reelection
by reclamation and without opposition. 1t Is
seldom, In any State, that gentleman has
been nominated to 80 high an office under
such Hattering circumstances. and every
Democrat In Louisiana will pronounce u .
Just compliment to an able and competent
official and staIwart Democrat.
The candidacy for Secretary OF State was
conferred, In On equally complimentary man
ner, upon Hon. VIII A. Strong, Of VIM, who
now holds that Office through the election OF
1876. "A representative OF the young Democ-
racy OF the State and OF the staunch old Dem
ocratlc party Of the Red river valley. this IL
most popular and proper nomination.
OF theee three latter gentlemen, Egan,
Jumel and Strong, 1t is unnecessary for us
further to speak. since they are known to the
people In their official capacities.
The candidate for Superintendent OF Public
Education, Mr.. Edwin n. Fay, Of East Fe-
liciana, Is new but not entirely unknown
man. This gentleman is q practical educator
OF large experience and finished education.
He Is native OF Virginia and graduate Of
Harvard. A soldier and scholar, he served
tile Confederacy throughout the war between
the States, and has since distinguished him
self In HE profession. This is most excel
lent nomination and completes the ticket.
Never In the history Of the State has the
Democratic party put forward a more &C
ceptable ticket, and without doubt It will re-
ceive the united support Of the party and be
triumphantly elected.
