Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1879-10-11
TIE PAR0OHIAL NOMINATIONS.

applied to the selections made at the
primary election last Saturday.
In Judge II. N. Sherburne, the
nominee for District Judge, we lave
a gentleman whose gallant services
as a soldier entitle him to the sup
port of his fellow citizens. Always
true to his people and to principle,
he is worthy Of the confidence Of ev-
cry one. He possesses culture and
education, which, added to his cxpe-
rience on the bench, qualify him to
fill creditably the position to which
he has been assigned.
OF George w. Buckner, Esq, the
nominee for District Attorney, we can
say that he stands without reproach.
A gentleman in every sense Of the
term, he has never failed, whether
us a soldier or as a citizen, to do his
whole duty to his people. 1t was but
last year, when no tie of relationship
or personal interest impelled him to
remain in our city during the cpl
demic, that he chose to be among
oW; suffering community, here to
fearlessly do all in his power to aid
them in their distress, until % fell
stricken himself by the disease. He
possesses all the ability and the quail
iications that are requisite for the
performance of the responsible duty
for which he has been selected.
OF DR.. T. J. Burlington, the nomi-
nee for the Senate, it becomes almost
useless for us to speak words in his
praise. His experience in that body
previous to the war, the great servi-
ces he rendered during the late strug-
gle, together with the many individ-
ual acts that have made his name a
household word in this parish, have
given him the unanimous support of
the people as an evidence Of their ap-,
probation.
Mr.. Josiah Kleinpeter, for repre-
sentative, is one of the most trust
worthy citizens in our parish A gen.
tleman of culture and experience, he
will bring to- the performance of his
duties all the qualifications that our
people expect to see developed in
those they select to take charge of
their interests.
Mr.. S. NJ. Robertson, the other
nominee for Representatives, the son
of Col. Robertson, NJ. G., of this dis
trict. He is young and talented, and
full of the desire to do everything in
his powerdo merit the confidence his
fellow citizens have reposed in him
by the large and tlatterirtg vote he
received at the primary.
Major B. F. Bryan, the nominee
for Clerk Of the Court, hastbeen iden-
tilted with the community since his
boyhood. Every one knows how he
stood by his country during the late
war, and how well and faithfully he
has performed his duties Us a public
servant, whether as the Mayor of
Baton Rouge, or in the capacity for
which he is SO we'll qualified by his
long experience and tried ability
a fact often mentioned by the legal
profession here.
Mr.. J. w. Bates, the nominee for
Sheriff, is one of the most active and
competent young men that can be
found in this parish. Attentive and
fearless, he will continue to fill the
office as he has done in the paste
the satisfaction of every one. Mr..
Bates has shown himself reliable in
every capacity. AS u soldier he
fought his way to a captaincy during
the war, and as a citizen our people !
have found him at all times taking
his share of the duties that are re-
CURED of all good and true men.
Whatever may have been the indi-
vidual preferences of our voters prior
to the nomination, mono can say that |
the gentlemen who have been selected |
are unworthy Of the hearty support |
Of our entire people.
