Hon. U. y. Lewis.
IN. @. fines Democrat. Jan. 81


The nomination of this gentleman on
Saturday by the Baton Rouge Conven-
ton for the position Of Representative
in the National Legislature from the
Sixth Congressional District, will be
received throughout the State with sin
cere satisfaction.
The honor could not have been be-
slowed upon IL wOrthier gentleman, and
Mr.. Lewis doubtless fully appreciates
the compliment bestowed upon him by
his selection over SO large q number of
able and distinguished men, any one of
whom would have adorned the place.
The Sixth District, the State at large,
and the Democratic party is to be con-
graduated upon the domination. In
our issue of the 23d of December last,
referring to Mr. Lewis as a candidate
before the convention, we said:
Among the host of available and sx-
cellent candidates in the Sixth Congress
sional District for the position made
vacant by the death Of the gallant and
lamented Heron, we note with salts
faction the Hon. E. T. Lewis, of st.
Landry, whose fine ability, high char
acter, large experience in public affairs
and signal services to the Democratic
party, entitle him to the highest consid-
Grafton from the people of his district
and State. Modest and retiring by ma
ture, he has been content in the past
to serve bis people without reward in
any shape, and has never aspired to
any position higher than that of Repre-
sentative in the Legislature of the State.
He is brought forward now by those
who recognize his sterling worth, and
who appreciate his past manly and able
service, for the position of Congressman
from the Sixth District, and if he Sc
cures the nomination of the Democracy,
will without doubt be elected, and work
as Loyalty and efficiently in the Nation
al House as he has done in our own rep
resentative halls. Mr. Lewis ia in the
full vigor and prime of life, being As
years of age, and is the senior member
Of the law firm of Lewis & Bro, Opel
ousas. He is son of Judge VIM. B.
Lewis, who formerly presided over the
Avoyelles and Rapides Judicial District
During the war he served with distin-
guished gallantry in the Confederate
army, and, after the war, represented
Rapides in the Legislature.
In his capacity as member of the
State Central Committee of the Demo.
cratic party he was an active worker
for many years.

THE Nominee.

After some spirited balloting, for u
number of aspirants for Congressional
honors, in the late Congressional Con-
vsntion at Baton Rouge, Oh the 9th
inst, st. Landry at last came off as
victor by the nomination of her choiee
in the person of E. T. Lewis, Esq, one
of the leading members of the Opelousas
bar. We could not see how the nomi-
nation could be denied to our parish :
LIST. Because it has been over a quarter
OF O century since st. Landry has been
honored with representative in Con-
gress or with position on the State
ticket. Cd. Because st. Landry 10 the
next largest parish in the State, aud
gives the largest democratic majorities
i'll r. general election. Sd. Because 10
the late District Convention cur parish
sent solid representative delegation
specially instructed to assert the claims
of st. Landry to the nomination, and to
support the Hon. E. T. Lewis, first and
last, as its candidate. It was nothing
but right that the contest terminated as
it did; and although we favored the
Hon. H. L. Garland as our choice at
first, We cheerfully give our support to
the Hon. E. T. Lewis, n gentleman of
ability and of sterling worth, firm and
determined democrat in bis politics, and
one whom we believe will faithfully rep
resent us in the National Congress. AS
st. Landry has been honored with the
nomination, We hope to see our people
turn out en- masse at the polls, and give
Edward T. Lewis, Esq, sweeping ma
jority. He will undoubtedly be elect
ed; but we want to see st. Landry give
him the largest majority of all the other
parishes.

has for its objects the erection Of some
much needed public Improvements IN
Opelousas, viz: the building of suitable
accommodations for our Fire Depart

will deny that Opelousas is sadly in

in five equal instalments. every three

ors elected annually by the stockholders,
and every shareholder fully secured, we
can see no reasonable cause for doubt
ing that our business men aud citizens
generally will not assist according to
their means in making the Association
a paying success, especially as the car
