Vienna SENTINEL
In this great contest within the party we
1
would have been pleased, Of course. to have
seen thpse whom we preferred receive the
nomination and Endorsement Of the party
convention. We had believed that II the
Governor was selected from New Orleans,
Gen. A.. N. Ogden was the man above all
others who would cement the people Of the
whole State, and that ha would receive aud
deserve that confidence which the people VI Il
commonwealth ought to be able tn hestnw
upon their chief magistrate. We believed
i this not because we thought his competitor
was incompetent, but because We thought
Ogden the best man for the place at this
convention Thought differently, aud lion,
Louis A. Wilt received the nomination BY a
majority Ut 1n2ie yutea. Whatever our prefer
el1ues and our hopes may have been. the YER

AZ only remains for va 10 yield our assent TO
their action and this we do most cordially.

It was well for the people that the convention
had two sueh men as Witt and Ogden to
choose from, for III the event Of selection Of
either the Interest ut the people would be
placed In safe hands.
Lafayette Advertanr
The ticket given ua by the Baton Rouge
convention is a good one: the men who form
III are experienced Iii public affairs. and tie
majority vi them have been tried and were
ever true I'D their trusts. We don't believe n
