kind ever brought to our notice. comes to us

THE THIRD DISTRICT.

The result of the elections held in the
parishes of this district last Saturday fol
delegates to the Republican nominating
convention justi6es the expectation that
Senator Kellogg will be the nominee OF
that body. Leaving out Calcasieu and
Cameron, from which we have no advi-
ces, we find that in Ibervil1e, Assnmp-
ton, Lafourche, Iberia aud st. Martin,
eighteen delegates have been chosen
whose seats will be uncontested, while
from Ascension, Terrebonne, st. Mary,
Lafayette and Vermilion there will be
| two sets of claimants for the fifteen seats
to which those parishes are entitled.
OF the uncontested votes Ii are con
sidered reasonably sure for Kell"gg-1b-
erville 5, Assumption q, Iberia 2 aud st.
Martin 2; Lafourche''s are conceded to
Beattie and one from Iberia is counted
for Darrall. Even should the two votes
Of Calcasieu and Cameron be against
Kellogg, he will have a decided majority
of the uncontested seats and bis support
ers will control both the temporary and
permanent organization Of the conven-
ton. There is but-ene probable contin-
gency in the way Of Senator kelloggg's
triumphant nomination, and that is his
voluntary withdrawal from the contest.
Should it appear to him that his candi-
dacy will be made the pretext for bolt
by his defeated competitors that will en-
danger Republican success in the dis
trict, we have reason to believe he will
peremptorily decline to run and will
throw the weight of his influence in IA
vor of any nominee most likely to har-
monize conflicting elements and inter
ests. 1t is to be hoped, however, there
will be no occasion for such a sacrifice
that all the candidates will come before
the convention in good faith and submit
to it's decision like fair minded men and
true Republicans. Let there be no "rule
or ruin" spirit displayed in this fight,
and let no man set his personal opinions
and aspirations above the Judgment or
wishes Of the majority Of his party. OF
such stuff demagogues and political char
lat;ns are made.

Our Overlooked Section.
Another Prominent Citizen Denies the
Report of Great and General
Suffering There.
EIGHTH WARD, Ascension, }
Aug g. 1882 {

aug >, 1909.
EDITOR CHIEF: 1885,: ...
Your paper Of 18th ult, came to us at
q late date. In it we noticed commu-
nication from our old friend JOS. Coma
les, representing the distressed condition
of the people" of the seventh ward.
With all due respect to Mr.. Gonzales,
whom personally know to be a gentle
man Of veracity and entirely worthy Of
credit, must beg to state that he has
grossly exaggerated the condition of the
Inhabitants of the overtiowed district,
and many prominent citizens of the
eighth ward, who have been more effected
by the water than the people of the
seventh ward, ask to have his statement
corrected.
By a close observance and thorough
inquiry I find that there are but few
cases of real present or anticipated suf-
fering 1t is true, indeed, that there has
been much, and in some instances heavy
loss, but the gentleman has made it
appear that the soAoze people Of the
drowned country need help.
Mr.. Gonzales states that he embarked
in Il lat-bottomed boat from the steps Of
his house to work my way to this
town." and after this " work arrived at
the Conway sugar-house, etc. Now, /
beg to say that all this "work" might
have been avoided or evaded and that
his boat trip to Donaldsonville was not
a sequent consequence of the crevasse-
this do not know Of my own knowl-
edge to be a fact, but his ncighbors say
so, and we must acknowledge it. And
at the rate of the fall of the water we
will have it until the middle of this
month.
Your correspondent not only con-
demned his member of the Police Jury,
but cast reflections upon our member of
the eighth ward. 1t is well known to
his constituents that our member has
done great deal for them in the way of
giving provisions and medicines to the
needy and distressed. No man has done
| more or eXerted himself more in this re-
spect than lie, consequently we have to
notice any slurs that may he cast upon
him.
I know Mr.. Blouin to be one of the
most worthy men of this portion of the
country, and his constituents, without
exception, have every confidence in him
| and endorse all his actions in the Police
jury; hence we must ask the privilege
| OF defending him when assailed.
1t is trne that Mr.. Gonzales is acknowl-
edged to be liberal, generous aud char
table man, but he must not claim to
himself all the credit of favors extended
to the sufferers, as his communication
would infer.
Now, Mr.. Editor, being of and belong
ing to the eighth ward, | make my
statements without fear of consequences.
In haste, truly yours,
L. W. BROWN.
