AN ANSWER.


! A party who signs himself "Demo
crat" 10 the Express, and whom We
suspect to be himself very much inter
ested in the jndseship, and who repre-
sents ga great many democrats" oRly
in his own imagination, has something
to say about our article of last week
on the new julgeshlp, and asks rs 6
question to which we propose to reply
Our article was written and printed
without the knowledge or consent Of
Judge Blackman; 1t was an editorial
article for which we alone were and
are responsible, aud it was so plain
that "the wayfaring man, tho fool
ought to have understood it. If the
intention of the writer was to place
Judge Blackman in false or equivo-
cal position it has fallen short of the
mark. We maintain the position now
that we took then and we re- assert
that the new judgeship is wholly I'M
necessary-that the election will be
slimly attended and that the time is
much too short for anything like a fair
expression of public opinion through a
Convention. We therefore yolunta-
rily rendered our support to Judge
Blackman as the nominee of the last
Democratic Convention held in this
Parish. That seems to US to be very
plain and unequivocal.
We are opposed to a Convention at
all, and if a Convention should be
called and should be assembled in the
interest of any particular man, we will
certainly take occasion to express our
views. We are not authorized and
have not assumed to speak for Judge
Blackman, bat his we'll known record
in this section as staunch and un-
flinching democrat, and leader of that
party, renders it wholly unnecessary
for either We Or he to define his posi-
ton if he should become candidate
for the new judgeship. His record
speaks for itself, and the people will
not be slow to question the motive
and to doubt the patriotism of any
one seeking to disparage his claims or
to put him in an equivocal position.
And now that we have answered the
question of the correspondent of the
Erpress, we have one to ask that pa
per. We notice at the head of its COL
umns the announcement of the name
of Mr.. E. G.. Hunter as a candidate for
the judgeship. That gentleman is the
Districs Attorney of this District, and
the new act does not propose to dis
turb his tenure of Office. Nov does he
intend to resign that Office, or has he
already resigned before announcing
HIMSELF Will he hold on to one until
he sees whether he will get the otheri
We give expression to the opinion We
have heard frequently expressed by "a
great many democrats" when We say
that We think he should be satisfied
with what he he's got, at least until his
term is out. At any rate he should re-
sign the Office he has before seeking
another.
