A San Francisco Opinion Of the Candidate
Murdered There Yesterday.
-fNeWs I4attAr.l


KaIloch and Cox are fitting candidates tn
face one another. Parsons both, they are
both blatant political hufnDugs, VINO bedra xaIe
the cloth TO which they belong in the nnfre.
What has San Francisco done to be cursed at
nome and diSgracEd abroad by these uusayory
candidates for the chief raagistracY OF our
city? We are told that these men are
put forward as an Offering to the re-
iigious sentiment OF the community. Tt is
stated as fact, and there ia some evidence
that IT Is true, that the tchurch-going portion
| Of oar people are ranking themselves on the
aide OF Railoch, and believe that morality
and religion will, in some unexplained and
| mysterious manner, be promoted by bis cleo
ton. We have many good reasons for our
opposition to this man, but perhaps the most
Weighty one i9 that his candidacy Is {. slur
upon religion and an insult to good morals.
We can Imagine nothing that Is more
calculated to bring religion into con-
tempt than the nomination OF this bad
representative Of it. His record Is
| not that OF a man Of average cleanliness Il
Is in possible to discuss him without befoul-
ing ones mouth. The giving Of most ezcep-
tional prominence to bis name cannot be for
| the advantage Of the church. Moreover, there
10 surely something unaeernly ia a Christian
minister WallOHing up to his neck In the filthy
pool of politics. Partisan strife ard the doc
trines Of the meek and l0wly Jesus do not 70
we'll together. There is an unfitnesa In the
combination that ought to strike religious
people above all others. The manner In when
this man Kailoch is conducting himself evi-
dences the incoagruity Of his position. Here
is a specimen:
'.Mr. Kalioch said the day he was nominated
be drove down q Cnion Hall and engaged +
for the night before the election; also, Ill the
streets around II. few days ago the r.
pnblicans went down there and said we
want TIE hall They were told they couldn't

That waa speech addressed By Kaloch 20
Keafney and bis followers. KaIloch has evi-
IDENTIFY been converted q basp hemy and Vul-
gartty by Kearney. viii any weil-wisher of
r. igion say that the spirit Or language Of
such speech y calculated to favorabiy i'm

From thh best evidence we can gather this
trag4: affair happened between the hours of 8
and 10 in the forenoon. and in about this wav
BaTksdale was standing On the west side Of
the street on the sidewalk talking with Hon.
W. d. Gibbs and another gentlem an, when the
deceased, Capt. DIXON, appeared on the oppo-
site side and as he was passing down the
street, the former seeing him, stepped Out i'm
the middle OF the street and cried out, ssHeyt
Dixon, calling him twice. At this the de-
ceased turned about quickly, grabbing for
his pistol the while, but seeing the gun in
Barksdale's hand, and it raised he attempted
to seek cOvef-retreating with his face to-
ward the stairway leading up from the street
INTO what Il Known as the Demo building.
At about this jnncture Bafksdale's gun fired,
and Ii. Vi. Dixon five hours after that was no
more. Dixon turned about the time that
BaFKSdale's gun was discharged, and received
four buckShot In the region Of his right

shots at Barksda!e, but with no effect Barks-

To the Editor Of tae Democrat:
While our parish Is not what is called 4
Democratic one, yet there are large number
OF voters who support that party, and lake
an active interest ID every political campaign.
By little judicious management We sue
ceeded In sending to the Constitutional Con-
yention two intelligent and worthy delegates,
Messrs. Claiborne and Pariange, VINO acquit-
ted themselves with credit. We are prepar-
ing for the approaching campaign, and are
only awaiting the action Of the State Central
Committee, which is to raeet to your city on
Monday, the twenty-fifth Instant, to call al
election for delegates to represent PDinte
C1upee In tne Democratic Convention soon to
assemble. =." ~=-= =-=
As usual, on the eve OF an election. the
merits and claims OF candidates are freely dis
cus5ed, and their friends grow enthusiastic
and confident OF the success Of their respac-
tive favorites. For Governor, the Hon. H. A.
Witt is beyond ail question the choice Of the
people here. It fact, no other name Is men
ti1Eed In connection with that office, and in
convention there is no doubt Of his receiving
the solid vote 81 or delegates, whoever they
may be. The record Of Coy. Witt during his
political career Is 80 untarnished, consistent
and tIne1ceptionable, as cannot fail to elicit
universal commentator. Whether as Speaker
Of the House, President Of the Senate, or
President Of the Constitutional Convention, ne
has exhibited wonderful administrative a5ili-
ties and thorough appreciation OF the re-
spon5ible duties devol9ing upon him. In adj
dition to these qualities, he il honest, sincere,
frank, and hence his popularity with all Who
know him.

from the country. An exception will be made
in favor Of Gov Witt, who is recognized to
have claims upon the whole people OF the
State for the eminent services he has rem
dered them in the gloomy days Of Lousiana's
history.
Pointe Coupee will also enter a candidate
for nomination on the State ticket. Our dis
tinguished and worthy feilow-citizen, Col. F.
l.. Claiborne, will be urged BY his friends for
the Office Of Superintendent Of Public Schools.
Our candidate will have a favorable showing,
since he Is fully the equal n all respects OF
been mentioned.
The crops throughout the parish can be said
TO be good, and our planters feel encouraged
~ the bright future which they see ahead.
With the reduction Of taxation and other gov
efhnental reforms inaugurated BY the new
constitution, and the prospect Of the ieyees
being built and maintained by the general
government, they FEEL hopeful of future pros
