The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1879-09-24
THE CANDIDATES.

Thus far, six gentlemen, members
of the Democratic Conservative par
ty of our Parish, have announced
their names as candidates for the va
rious offices, for which nominations
are to be made in the conventions,
both District and Parochial, and VIC
propose very briefly to notice these
as they merit.
For District Judge, R. j. Bowman,
ESQ.,, heads our announcement llst.
He is a native Louisianian, gentle
men of good culture, lawyer Win
large practice, and one who stands
high at our Bar. His character for
sterling worth, unsullied integrity,
and whose private life stands as
model of rectitude and right. Mr..
Bowman has been at the Alexandria
Bar since 1855, and enjoys in an EN-
inent manner, the respect and es.
TEEN of both his fellow-members of
the Bar and of this community. He
is in the prime Of life, an Industrious,
pains-taking lawyer and safe coun
sellor. He will undoubtedly make a
good Judge, if selected by the voters
of the District.
Judge J. R. Thornton, our present
efficient and able Parish Judge, Of
fers his name to the Parish Conven-
ton for District Attorney, and as
everybody says and admits, he makes
a good Judge, it is readily admitted
! that he is in every way qualified for
the duties of prosecuting officer. A
) native of the Parish, young, hard
f working, cultured gentleman, and
q a hard student, he surely is capable
s of "making the good, upright Off
, cial," if honored with the nomlna
J. ton of his party.
d For Clerk of the District Court
l. our columns are graced with the
n names of three gentlemen, good ane
e true men, proverbially strict bust
= ness men, young, full of high ane
J. honorable aspirations and in all res
'e poets perfectly qualified to fill tn
h duties of the Office. We blend thes
TO three names in one notice, for TAX
IL them one and all, it will be hard t
lie make choice among three such as
is pirants for an honorable Office, an
" for one we cannot see how it is pos
I'd sible to have nomination, eminent
rs ly good one, selected from either
to these three gentlemen, and then nc
be please everybody. These three ger
is. tlemen are Major G.. 0. Watts, OF
present efficient Registrar and A.
SCISSOR; L. v. Marye, the Justice
the Peace and the Notary Publ
~ whose attachments and habits ha,
given him wide renown, with s
those seeking his services; and the
though last not least, the name
''n Simon Cullen, the virginian Dor
ell the Rapidian by choice, where
vas has made it his home, and withal
'es' accomplished and perfect gentlems
90 We repeat it, it's going to be de
lou cate and difficult matter to col
down to choice between three su
w" candidates.
'ne Our present, efficient and MOI
es' Sheriff, David c. Paul, has been
'0S nounced by his friends, "wht
names are legion" for re-electi
Tue We believe and think that the
eau tiers of our party and plenty 9th
Aec- of all parties, have already affirm
that the horse is Is hands high, {
"' they are going to stick to it, and
'us' c. Paul may as we'll be congrat'
ted as the next Sheriff of Rapie
