We had the pleasure thus week Of eonvers-
ing with gentleman from st. Landry parish.
We found him full Of political talk and took
occasion to interview aim as to the g,ibeHna-
torial contest in st. Landry. 1T did not take
him long to tell us thatin his parish, McEnefy
men are few and far between. The gentlemen
knew OF but two prominent men in the parish
or State politics who were in favor of the adj
ADMINISTRATION. He says the seli timent is almost
universal for Nichols and Ogden. This is in
keeping with all the news we get from ST.
Landry. That parish is entitled to at least nine
teen delegates. When the delegates meet at
the State Convention, the MeEnery boom will
vanish into thin air. Our neighl,Or of the Bull
1etin, in his imaginary triumph,ll car will be
suddenly awakened to find himself feeling
very much like poor boy at a frulic.''

There has been nothing new develop Ell iii the
state canvas for some time past. he issues
between the administration and those who OPP
nose it have long since been squarely- made and
fully discussed, and nothing more remains to
he said. The objections to the ad minstration
have not been nor can be explained Or compro-
missed away and every attempt to do so by n
partisan press has signally failefi. Those who
at the first, believed that this administration
should be turned out of power have been fully
confirmed in that opinion by he discussion and
developments that have taken place since the
opening of the campaign. Such is the state of
feeling in St. Landry according to our osserva-
tien and we take it for granted that the same
feeling exists elsewhere in the State. Whether
this opposition to the administration Wall center
s1,pon Ex-Governor Nichols, or whether he
would acceptable nomination II offered to MIN,
we do not know, but should either of these
events not happen, then the opponents OF the
administration will not have any serious dltfi-
Guilty in uniting upon a candidate who Will
represent their ideas. There are plenty such
in the State. Hon. Henry l.. Garland whose
name has already been spoken OF fayorlbly III
many sections of the State, is the peer OF any
man in the State, in character. fidelity to Ills
party, and those qualities of head and heart
which should characterize the chief executive
OF the state. and there is DeBlanc, Watkins
Mcyea; Goode, Taylor, Pierson and n host OF
Others, who would worthily fill the place OF
governor IL Governor Nichols cannot and
will not accept the nomination which can only
be determined when the convention meets
then we want it understood that st. Landry
will claim to be heard in behalf of her worthy
and honored son, Henry L. Garland.

The city Of Atlanta will pay the funeral ex-
penses of the late Alexander Fl. Stephens, the
State having refused to do SO. The legislature
of Georgia has brought itself into unenviable
prominence by it's action in regard to the fune-
raj expenses Of the late famous statesman, Alex
ander II. Stephens Shreveport Times.
We do not see why either the State of Geor-
gia, or the city OF Atlanta, should pay the fiji
neral expenses of Mr.. Stephens. He was a
successful lawyer, and was in office nearly all
his life Since reconstruction, he was i'll Con-
gress, until lately when he was elected Cover
nor Of Georgia, in which office he died. We be-
lieve he had no family, and having been q man
OF good. habits, he certainly left ample means
to pay his funeral expenses. The State Of
Georgia honored him all his life, and he was
paid for his services and We see no reason
that he should be buried as pauper. The
Grant and Garfield business of this nature, has
been overdone at the North, and the South
shonld not initiate such disgusting examples.

is in our opinion necessary to legalzs the en-

mistakable "hard labor in the penitentiary.''
