The gentleman whose name heads this artt-

nomination for Governor, and as we view the
political skies we hardly think otherwise than
that he will be nominated by the Democratic
convention by reclamation. Polite, affable,
man Is better able to I'LL the position than he.
Generous toward his enemies, true TO his
friends, no man will have cause to regret
giving his support to Louis Alfred Witt, our
first choice for Governor Ibervilie South.

In this suggestion we made no allusion to
the successor of Gov. Nichols, and as here
tofore this office has been filed by some can
to give New Orleans show, and nominate
that popular gentleman, l.. A. Wiltz who pre-
sided over the late Constitutional Convention
with such ability and impartiaiity. Mr.. Wilt
has exhibited great administrative talent in
the different offices he has successfully filled,
and would make good Governor. He pos
Besses great tirmness and decision OF charac-
ter, as was happily Illustrated In the trying
and embarrassing scenes which took place
when the Legislature of which he was Speak
er was elected by the military from its hall. |
We cordially indorse Gov. Witt as one who |
will perform his entire duty If elected, and so !
conduct affairs that our State will continue |
the bright career which has been ,foretold
from the time OF her new departure. AS Lieu |
tenant Governor we respectfully suggest the |
name of John @. Moncure, OF Caddo, whose
past career certainly deserves something at
the hands OF the people OF Louisiana, and
whose character and ability, independently OF |
all that. give him claim to our suffrages.-
