The Third Congressional Dis

nominate a candidate to the
Forty Seventh Congress at the
coming State convention to be
held at Baton Rouge. and the
chairman of tire congressional

FROM the different parishes of
that District has already issued
his official call, which we print to-
day.
In its conclusion he says:
"Reasons Of a political charac
ter, fully approved throughout
the district and in the interest Of
the party demand that this course
should be pursued"
These reasons it seems were
fully detailed in the letters adj
dressed to him by the members
of the congressional committee
and the different executive com.
mittees Of the various parishes.
They are Of a party character and
therefore not made public. After
the district had taken the action

~ Mr.. Perry of Iberia, at the
meeting of the State central com

committee after taking the sub
jeet under consideration, came
unanimously to the conclusion
that they had no jurisdiction
whatever in the case. That it
was a matter appertaining solely
to the district and within their
exclusive control. This decision
was PROFESSIONALLY correct aud
undoubtedly just what the dis
trict wished. So the question that
the nomination. will be made at
Baton Rouge may be now colsid.

The ThibOdauX Clique

Again this expression is being
heard going the rounds OF the
Parish.
A sure omen of an approaching
election is this phrase looming
up aud reverbrating around and
around. One, to listen to the
plalntive story of those who make
use of this language, would sup
pose that ThibOdaux and her PEG
pie were terrible tellows-wOrse
than the giants of Patagonia who
have an extra head Under each
arm to swallow up everything
and everybody that cones in
their pathway. When all cleo
ton approaches the cry against
ThibodauN arises over the winds,
and the charge that ThibOdaux
people seek all the offices. How
much truth there il in these silly
assertions is easy to ascertain.
The members of tue Legislature
from LafOurcle during the last
fifteen years with one single ez
ceptiOn, has resided outside Of
this town. To day but two pal
ish officers are of Thiboda,ix-
Judge Knobloch and j. W. Knot
loch District Clerk.
From time iinmemOrial, almost
every sheriff, Bourg, kobichaux
Lagarde, and Webre were all
from the country; the Recorder
OF the parish is from the country
so are the Tax Collector and hi.
deputy. III proportion to popula
ton Thibodaux has never had al
equal distribution OF offices. |
is true that the officers above
named now reside in this town
but will not anyone elected to I'll
those positions be obliged to, liv,
here if he wishes to do his duty
The assertion that the citizens
of .Thibodaux desire the Offices
aud that they attempt to exercise
any undue influence upon the 81
lection of candidates, is entirel,,
gratuitous and caunot be sustain
