Editor Chronicle
There is being manifested considerable
interest in the nomination of q Senator
from this district, and my purpose in
writing this is to call attention to the
claims of Judge w. L. Richardson for that
position. In the dark and trying days of
the past, when it required both nerve and
devotion to principle to fight the battles
Of the people of this parish and of the
Democratic party, Judge Richardson was
always and at all times straightforward,
consistent Democrat-eyer ready and will
ling to organize and lead the forlorn hope
in this parish, and he has at no time failed
of discharging the whole duty of an un-
selfish, patriotic, energetic citizen.
The place seems to have been conceded
to Grant parish, and the people have now
an opportunity of repaying valuable SER
vices, which are none the less worthy be-
cause they were given without the hope
of it, and they viii fall short of doing
their dut, if they do not demand that
he. shall have his reward.
His opponent in this parish, Judge Ma
chen, is nice gentleman, against whom
nothing can be said, and if anything could
be said / would be the last one to say it,
but he has been citizen of Grant parish
too short time to be entitled to that or
any other position over gentlemen having
the claims that Judge Richardson has upon
the gratitude of the people of this parish.
1 hope to see the delegates from this
parish vote solid for Judge Richardson in
the Senatorial Convention.
Yours truly. JUSTICE

that Ogden seems to be ahead. gsas

Attention is called to the three ad-
-sertised communications regarding
the Senatorship. We admit all ouv
correspondents claim for Judge Rich
ardson, and would be pleased to see
him get the nomination, but deny
that Judge Machen should stand
third on the list, or that has nomina-
ton "would be virtually surrendering
to Winn." as he has spent nearly his
whole life in this parish. only being
absent from it couple of years.
Either of these gentlemen will be
heartily supported by the citizens of
our parish If nominated, and it re-
mains for the convention to deter
mine between them. Both have our
good will, and both have their warm
admirers, as viii be seen from "Citi-
zen's" article, which calls attention
to the fact that Judge Machen was
no shirker of duty in the "dark days
OF the past" and can hold his own
If judged on that score.

CoIFAx, La, October Z, 1879.
Editor Ckrosicls:
The object Of this communication is TO
notice statement that has been made by
few of Judge Richardson's friends. that
Judge Machens residence in this parish is
too short to entitle him to the Senator
ship. viii say in reply that Judge Ma
chen had lived in what is now Grant
parish nearly twenty years previous to
January, 1875. when he went to VIM for
the purpose of studying law. After COM
plotting his studies there, in 1876 he was
elected Parish Judge by the Democrats of
Winn parish. As soon as his term of Office
expired he returned here to Grant to make
it his permanent home.
During his former residence in Grant, in
our life and death struggle with the carpet
bag dynasty, as boy and man, no one can
say that he did not do his whole duty
both as citizen and soldier, and conceive
that his absence for two or three years
from the parish in which he was raised
does not disqualify him from receiving the
suffrages of the people of Grant ac-
knowledge Judge Richardson to be a good
Democrat and in every way capable of FILL
ing the Office of Senator, but he has no
advantage in the matter of residence over
Judge Machen, whom / believe to be
much the strongest man with the people
of Grant, and therefore hope he will re-
ceive the nomination, CITIZEN.
