AItttOs A/CWWVut -
l see the Colfax Chronicle announ-
ces the name of G.. G. Nash, of Grant
Parish, as candidate for the position
of Auditor Of Public Accounts, subject
to democratic nomination. Certain
ly Capt. Nash is in every way qualified
for the position-he is honest, compe-
tent, with great experience in business,
and has been true, tried and consis-
tent Democrat. No enc man in Cen
trail Louisiana has assumed more res
possibility and passed through more
trials for the safety of the people and
the Democratic party than Capt. Nash.
He is justly popular at home and
abroad, and commands the unqualified
respect of every good and honest man
in Central Louisiana. 1t will be the
first opportunity the Democrats of Ra-
pides to show their just appreciation
of the past services of this gallant and
patriotic citizen, and we hope to find
our delegation in the next Convention
giving him their unanimous and enthu-
siastic support for the position of Au-
ditor.

THOSE FORGED CHECKS.
WHAT HAS COME OUT OF DISCLOSURE.

As was to have been expected, Col.
Fremaux does not escape criticism ID
the matter of tho altering Of the Land
Office money orders. Among dele
gates to the State Committee the ques-
ton is frequently put and not salts
factorily answered: If Col. Ffemaux
considered the action of Bres in alter
ing the terms of the document so grave
an offense as it is now made to appear,
why did he not, as a faithful official
and good citizen, lay the case before
the Grand Jury' If crime had been
committed, by what right, legal or
moral, did he conceal it from the pro-
per authorities7
Further, if Col. Fremaux deemed
Richardson so gravely culpable in
this connection as to be an unfit APP
pointment for Register, why did he
hide his conviction and the facts from
the Senators who were to pass upon
the nomination? The Item is assured
that Senators who are personal friends
of Col. Fremaux would have defeated
Richardson upon the presentation OF
justifying cause; that Col. Ere
maux could have presented the case
in strictest confidence, had he desired
for any reason not to appear promi'
nent in the matter, and that proper
action would have been taken thereon.
Springing the question at this late
day, and the attempt by its agency to
smirch the honorable record of Gov,
McEnery meets with general reproba-
ton, and is plainly re-acting in the
Governors favor-as persecution not
unfrequently does.-[City Item.

WHAT HAS DEVELOPED. III

WHAT HAS DEVELOPED. - The
strength developed yesterday by Gov.
McEnery in the Parish Democratic
Executive Committee was a surprise to
the opposition. 1t was shown that the
Governor had friends in the City as
well as in the country, and the fact
that on vote exhibiting the strength
of the two wings of the party, the
friends of the Administration carried
their point by nearly two-thirds. This
vote also presented the fact conspicu-
ously of strong feeling of sympathy
for the Governor, especially in the
country Shreveport Standard, 2sth.

Has the South Any Right to be Re-
presented on the Presiden-
tial Ticket

ton, which in fact belongs to the Con-
yention, and it being settled and &C
cepted point that the Democratic party
is united and alive as to the duty it
owes to the party at large, is it not
time that we should prepare for the
Presidential campaign and find what
position the South is to assume, and
what part it is to perform to bring
about results, which to the South is of
far more Importance than to any other
part of the Union9
Eighteen years have elapsed since
the Republican party, emerging yicto-
rious from the war, grasped the power
with a firm hand and with an over
whelming majority inaugurated those
series of laws which were intended to
rivet in its hands power new to this
country and in direct opposition to the
very spirit Of our government. The
Democratic party was then considered
a thing of the past, and a military au-
tocracy had taken possession Of the
country. Satraps in each District and
bayonets everywhere overawed the few
who, burying in their hearts the tradi-
tons Of the past, awaited with patience
the changes which time was sure to
bring. The Republican party found
itself like Sinbad, the Sailor, in his
cave Of treasures-money everywhere.
Bewildered by the immense treasures
within its grasp, with no opposition to
check its insatiate rapacity, it gave rise
to all those speculations and monopo-
lies which have centered in a few
hands the almost entire capital of the
country. 1t was then that was first
heard the cry, that the United States
required a strong government. But the
man is not born who can compass a
country whose shores are laved by two
oceans thousands of miles apart; whose
rivers and lakes are as mighty as seas,
and whose mountains rise SO far in the
skies that the SHOWS which cab tlieir
SUBMITS will stay there as tvaflabtiiig
as the liberties we enjoys ts .ar
Eighteen years have passed, and
gone, and each year the Democracy,
placing its shoulder to the wheel, has
been gradually regaining its lost pre-
donderence. That the South has done
its duty manfully and disinterestedly
we all know. For eighteen years we
have battled, always at the breach and
always ready, each year adding more
strength to the party at large, until,
election before last, the South actually
carried the day, and last election made
the canvass so close that it required all
the government influence and millions
to decide the contest. Up on6w the
South has been allowed to come in by
sufferance. To-day the South, mighty
by its vindication of Democratic prin-
ciples and with a strength of votes
equal to a balance of power, can de-
mand a recognition on the Presidential
ticket. We do not NOR u-a conno+ do
mand the first place. 1t would be
rashness-it would be political suicide.
But the second place is ours, and many
a name, though once entered on the
rolls of the Lost Cause, would be
found true and faithful to his country.
The sword drawn by a Lamar or a
Gordon in cause which they thought
just though unfortunate, would not re-
main sheathed in their country's dan
ger or need.
