Editor Sentinel: Upon receiv-
ing my mail of the 10Th inst. I
was gladdened by the smile of
the old familiar face of your valu
able Journal, which appears it
seemed to me neatly attired in a
new dress, and 10 and behold,
double sheet to boot. My atten
ton was specially directed to ar
ticles from the Pioneer bearing
upon the action of the late demo
cratic convention here, in which
you complain, with reason, of
the initiation Of district delegates,
stretching our delegates from s to
10, so as to equal yours, in direct
contrayeltion to all former pre-
cedents. The object and motive
of which are too apparent to mis-
lead the most callous OF observers.
Such action on the part of the
convention is to gain an nniu.
advantage over your Parish in
the selection OF district candidates
both judicial and political. It is
true that our Parish has been ig
nored for the past 80 years or
more in the distribution OF judi
cial officers. For instance, in all
that time Assumption never had
a district judge while Lafourche
has had threa-Cols, Roman, and
Beattie-and but four district at
torneys-Ruby, Maurin and Car
yer~-against Roman, Harang,
Winder and J.. Z. Eeattie.. Never
:helesS. in the nomination Of such
important officials, it is necessary
and proper TO look for the best
legal talent to till these positions.
To-day | met your %aspirant for
the district attorneyship who
! combines not only great natural
and acquired literary aud legal
accomplishments, with a thorough
knowledge OF much needed
desideratam in this district, the
French and English languages.
Any division, however, in a
district which is, by no means,
certainly democratic would insure
the election of an independent
candidate. That there will be no
walk over the track for either
Office of District Judge or Dis
trict Attorney, | feel assured.
There will assuredly he indepen
dent opposition to the regular
democratic nominees, us strong
as so far as both positions ar,.
concerned. So this parish had
better cut its eye teeth to avoid
general defeat and that too by it's
own fault. These are only little
hints thrown out for the benefit
Of all whom it may concern.
Thanking you for your splendid
number of the SANTINEL which
was filled TO O%yerhowlns with
valuable and entertaining read

The Lesson Of tO-day's
Election.

To day the primary election
will he held throughout the par
isll Tor the selection Of the candi
dates who shall figure upon the
party ticket at tue general cleo
ton in December. The parish
has been canvaSsed thoroughly
Nv The candidates for the various
positions, and the people must
now be quite familiar with the
qualifications Of those who would
serve them. The canvass so far
as we have heard has been car
ried on with the greatest good na
ture OH all sides, as was perfect
ly proper. The result of the pri>
mary election will no doubt cause
some disappointment because
every candidate cannot expect to
be elected. There must be victory
for some, and defeat for others
These diSappointmcnts will be
but temporary and leave no sting
behind them. After tho party
ticket has been formed from the
choice made by the people at the
ballot box 10 day the democratic
party will only have chosen their
leaders who must then lead them
to battle.
An dissensi0ns or differences
OF opinion il to the best men for
candidates must be harmonized,
and we must then present a solid
front to the enemy. 1t will not
do to underrate the strength or
the tactics of our a]dverSaries.
They are under the leadership of
men whose shrewunesS and abili
~ to conduct a political campaign
are conceded. The masses of the
republican party are unreasoning
and SO much accustomed to obey
the party whipsthat they will vote
as they are told. and vote solidly
their party ticket. Our parish
is undoubtedly democratic on a
full and free expression of the
will of the people at the ballot
box. But we must always remem
Der that every man must come to
the polls on the day of election
and act as If it depended on his
vote alone to ensure the triumph
of our cause. There must be no
supineness in the discharge Of
this very important duty Of a
freeman.
If any voter who has affiliated
heretofore with the opposition is
now willing to enter our ranks
once more and do battle tor us.
we must extend him a friendly
hand indulge III no rtcrimina-
tons for their past course on poll
teal questions. and show him that
our party refuses the assistance
of no recruits, come from what
ever quarter they may, who de-
sire to join lis in the contest in
which We are engaged. In this
era Of peace, when the State is
about to reap the full fruitiOn of
the democratic success in the
past, it will not become us to close
the door on amy one who may
wish to JON our ranks. By act
ing magnanimously we will induce
the adhesion Of many of our
friends who had left rs to lend
responsibility to the opposition,
and we shall secure to ourselves
an assured victory.
