crat is in favor Of Mr.. E. Il. Fay of
that parish for Superintendent Of
Public Edpcatien. If our Feliciana
friends can secure Lyons for Govern
or. Fay for Superintendent Of Ednca-
ton aud Barrow for Secretary Of
State they will modestly accord the
remaining positions on the ticket to
the other sections Of the State.
In our opinion, the Democratic
Conservative party of this State could
not put in nomination a stronger
ticket than the following:
For Governor-Louis A. Wilt of Or
leans.
Lieut.. Gov.-Jno. C. Moncure of Caddo.
Secretary of State-A. D. Lafargue Of

warmly commends the course Of Gov.
Nichols and regrets that his worth
and services seem to have been COM
pletely ignored by the candidate
makers. It is the general impression
that Gov. Nichols does not seek or
desire renomination and would not
| accept it, but the Sugar Planter thinks
it would be only justice to tender the
/ compliment and at least afford the
Governor the privilege of a graceful
declination.
A correspondent of the Assumption
Pioneer suggests Col. Thomas H
Handy Of Orleans as candidate for
Governor. 1t is cited in his favor
that he not only made good record
as a Confederate officer during the
late war, but that as Civil Sheriff of

ment was largely due to his efforts.
Col. Handy is doubtless very worthy
gentleman, bat the only place open
to him ia the gubernatorial contest is
one among the " dark horses"
The Baton Rouge Gapitoian raises
the Wiltz Banner
The Morehouse Clarion's ticket is
Gen. Fred. N. Ogden of Orleans for
Governor, Moncure of Caddo for Lieu
tenant Governor, Norwood of More
house for Sectetary of State, John NJ.
Sandidge Of Orleans for Auditor, Her
ron of Baton Rouge for Attorney
General, and it isn't a bad Democratic
ticket, either. How about the Super
intendent Of Public Education, Mr..
Clarion.
The Tensas journal ranges itself
with that portion of the State press
which f;.vers Hon. Louis A. Wiltz for
next Governor.
Assumption Pioheer learns, with re-
greet, that Hon. Taylor Beattie will not
be candidate for reelection as Dis
trict Judge. Had he entered the field,
the Pioneer thinks he would have
been elected without opposition.
The New Iberia Sugar Bo,ol sup
ports Hon. Robt. NJ. Lusher for re-
election rs Superintendent Of Public
Education. So does the Alexandria
Democrat. The latter paper speaks
of MIR. Lusher as the best Superin-
tendent Louisiana has ever had. with
the exception of Alexander DiMiEy.
The Baton Rouge ADVOCATE says
" There is no Disgusting or smoothing
over the fact that there is wide spread
dissatisfaction in the ranks of the
Democratic party in this parish"
