Gov. NicholIs's friends know that he has
performed his duties conscientionsly under
very trying circumstances; AMI although in
his strict adherence to his speech accepting
the nomination he gave umbrage to many OF
the politicians of his party, yet those who
knew him best felt assured that he would
strictly adhere to the course marked out on
that occasion. The conviction that he would
keep his promises, particularly those which
offered protection to the rights of ALL con-
trbuted greatly to his success with the
authorities at Washington. His administra-
ton Will serve, not only as q new point Ut de
parture III our political history but will here

successors in Office Assumption Pioneer.
The parish Of Avoyelles has at last spoken,
and Iii no false or uncertain key. The voice
of its people is for Witz. We were glad to
see the apparent cordality and unanmity
with which this preference was expressed
There was not dissenting voice to the resO- |
lutiOns In which this preference was empha- |
sized. Considering that the attendance came
from every quarter OF the parish, and that the |
vote of the parish was against him in the |
convention of 1876 this unanimity was Ger
tainly very gratifying to the friends of Mr..
Wiltz. The resolutions indorsing his candi- |
dacy will be found In another column. They
are very complimentary, and express the
true, underlying sentiment OF this portion OF
the State with regard to him. We think they
breathe the proper spirit aud present the true
claim upon which the candidacy Of Mr.. Witt
must rest. Ii the sentiment we saw displayed
Thursday IL anything Of reflection of what
1t Is in other portions of the State, and We
doubt not but that 1t Is, Mr.. Willz Is destined |
TO carry the nomination almost by accIama-
ton There certainly will he very little op-
position to him. AvOyelles Bulletin.
