GOV. WlLrZ's CANDIDACY.

A journal in Northeastern l4Oulsl-
ana has just made the discovery that
Mr., Wiltzis the candidate of q New
Orleans "ring," and makes that asser-
ton the basis of it's opposition to the
nomination of the above named gen
tleman.
1t is high time that the cry OF
"rinyw that is set mp against every
man of fanny prominence, who is SO un-
fortunate as to lie true to his party,
and to enjoy the friendship ola larger
orlesser number of his fellow citizens,
should cease. Sensible people are get
ting tired of this empty cutlery, and
it is fast becoming necessary to ex- 4
plain it's meaning. They want to
know whether the man thus aspersed
has robbed anybody or has been
guilty of some malfeasance or other
that renders him unworthy OF the
continuance of public confidence.
No matter how true one may have
been to his principles and his country
and the interests of his people, these
mud throwers don't hesitate to at
tack him in that insidious man
ner, for they dare not charge wrong
doing, because they know that the
public could then detect that they arc
naught but contemplate slanderers.
But to tho point. 1t is we'll known
that public sentiment has found ex-
preston in the utteranccs OF the
country press in favoring the election
of the Hon. Louis A. Wilt for Gov
ernor. Although it is fully ascertain
ed, that the city of New Orleans is
enthusiastically supporting him, none
of the journals Of that city have
thought proper as yet to nail his
colors at their mast head. Therefore
the "ring" must be in the country,
and so it is!
Strange to say it, but the people
are thinking that we are in the midst
of IL political disorganization tina
ought to be checked; in other word'
they need at this time II polit'ca
, leader who unites ability and energ!
to an ,nassailablc personal character
c They don't want to take anybody OF
D trial, just at this time. "'.
+ They believe further that youn!
t man who has been a member OF tin
e Legislature, Mayor of II large cit,
e like New Orleans, Lieut.. Governor
President of the Senate and OF til
i Constitutional Convention, and Ia
y gone on and on, increasing his popu
n larity at every step Of the way,
d the Governor that we ought to hav
|. during the next four years.
c We want energy, experience, abili
: ty, integrity and patriotism. The*
Il qualities Louis A. Wilt possesses
: and the people will nominate him b
reclamation and elect him; the no
's low cry of string" to the contrar
81 notwithstanding.

WAsHISaTaS, September 2S.-secretary
Sherman has received pressing invita-
ton from the Republican Committee in
Ohio to visit that State and make ton or
twelve speeches. His long and successful
management OF the finances has given him
prestige as well as a stock Of information
that tho committee think would be yery
useful to the Republican cause in Ohio.
The Secretary has not fully determined
how much Of this invitation he will &C.
cept, but he will go home to vote, and 1t is
probable that he will reach Ohio several
days before the election and make at least
two or three speeches. He Is very conf.
dent Of Republican success, and saws that
all reports received from there increase
his confidence. He believes not only that
Foster will be elected, but that his major.
ity will be strikingly large. he thinks the
Legislature will also be carried by Inc
Republicans. wy
