REPUBLICAN, NOMINEE FOR CON
ERESH.

Il
The Republican Congressional con
| vention that met at Thibodaux last
week Il, nominate candidate To re-
place Judge Taylor Beattie, closed i.
stormy session of four days at II late
hour Saturday evening by nominating
Hon. Chester B. Darrall Of st. Mary.
Hon. Morris Marks Of this parish,
Collector of internal Revenue for the
district of Louisiana, was Mr.. Oar
rails principal competitor, and used
freely and persistently all the means
generally considered effective iu such
contests to secure the nomination, but
he was finally compelled to give up
the fight and relinquish the coveted
prize to his more fortunate opponent.
Judge Marks has long been accredited
with au aspiration to go to Congress,
aud this is not the first occasion upon
whicl, his hopes in this respect have
been blasted. He seemed very san
guine Of success this time, and his
supporters were confident that he
would be nominated. We attribute
his defeat primarily to the fact that
lie has antagonized the Republicans
Of his own parish by persistently ex-
erting his influence to encourage dis
sensions among them and to sustain
the preteusions Of IL few chronic bolt
ers as against the regular party organ
ization. Other causes have contribu-
ted to render Judge Marks unpopular
here, but this one heads the list.
We shall give more circumstan-
tial account of the convention next
week, and discuss in future issues the
character aud career Of the nominee,
together with the prospects for his
success or defeat. For tire present we
append this brief biographical sketch:
Chester B. Darrall of Morgan City was
born in Somerset county, Pa, June "a,
1912; received q cOnmon-schuul educa-
ton; studied medicine and graduated at
the Albany Medical College !; entered the
Union army as Assistant Surgeon OF the
Eighty-sixth New York Volunteers was
promoted to be Surgeon and served
throughout the war; settled in Louisiana
at the close Of the war and engaged in
mercantile pursuits; was elected to the
State Senate i'll 1868, and to the Forty
first, Forty second, Forty third, Forty
fourth and Forty fifth Congresses as q
Republican, being nnssated on contest
during his last term by Joseph II. Acklen,
Democrat.

Our progn"stication that Mr.. Ack-
len would succeed in having u new
Congressional nominating convention
called in this district is verified by
the action Of the Democratic district
committee at its meeting Of Monday
last. 1t remains to he seen, however,
i We were ais" tight il portending

to ae the nrin.hse OF the convention.

convention.
After nominating the remainder of
a State ticket and taking Thirty one
ballots for Governor, the Georgia
Democratic convention adjourned
without making nomination for that
office. On the last ballot Gov. Col
quit received 22O votes, lacking only
ID Of the requisite twothirds. Col
quits supporters adopted a resolu-
ton recommending him to the people
for reelection. The minority Of the
convention voted against adjourn
ment and after the majority had left
the hall, organized anew and APP
pointed IL committee to select eau
didate for Governor. The party seems
hopelessly divided.
