Claiborne Guardian !: The admins
tration organs are overlooking with
eush and balderdash. They have all at
once discovered that the accidental
Governor Of Louisiana is a prodigy OF
wisdom, integrity and craftsmanship
which throws into inslgnltlcance all the
achievements of the past rulers OF this
GREAT, State. His administration of the
affairs OF the State has been absolutely
wonderful, and to read. the History of
his career as portrayed by his organs re-
minds one more of romance than Of his
tory. Even before he became Cover
nor lie had done more for Louisiana
than the best informed of her citizens
were aware had been accomplished by
any hundred men. Notwithstanding
I the fact that nobody ever heard OF it be-,
fore, he by some sort OF slight OF hand
work, which it would not De safe or
proper to explain to the public, freed
Ionisiana from the bondage and op-
nression of Radical rule. He it was
who brought the deliverance of rs.
Since he became Governor his achieve
ments have, of course, increased with
his opportunities, though here too, his
| followers and adherents regard
| it as entirely unnecessary to en-
| ter into details and put the public in
possession Of the modus operandi by
which these wonderful feats have been
accomplished.
There are some other striking fea-
lures about the administration of this
man, one of which is, if anything
thought to be wrong has come up dur
ing his term of Office he is in no wise
responsible for it, and is generally the
1 last man to discover it, be will main
tain thatit is right until it becomes
i pretty evident that majority of the
| people do not agree with him, about
which time resignation by sprevions
consent and understanding will be ten
/ dered to take effect some time in the
4 future. His admirerers are apparently
as proud of this quality as they. are OF
/ his magical system of advancing the
material prosperity of the country
There are certain patent nostrums
i which won'tgo on merit and require an
immense amount of praise and putting
to convince the public of their great
j worth, and good many are of the opin.
i ion that those who vend the nostrum
are more benefited than those wht
1 swallow it.

Attitude of, the Country Press
ON the Political Situation.
N. O. Plcayune, Sept. 1s.

The readers of the Picayune have
been supplied during the past week
with an unusual quantity, and also, we
NAV add, an unusual quality, of excerpts
from the editorial columns of the Louisi-
ana press respecting the approaching
gnhernatorial canvass. The reason is
Not far to seek. The dominant Demo-
cratic sentiment of the State is becom-
ing cIear-awake to the necessity Of COM
nieting the canvass before the cam
main begins, because if neglected it
would afterward be too late. The con-
sequence of this conviction is a vlgor
of writing and an intensity OF patriotic
expression rarely equaled and never ex-
celled in this or any other State. "a
pers which were not committed to eth
er side of the intestine Democratic
| struggle have been one by one pro-
nouncing for one or other OF the gal
| liant gentlemen who have been pre-
ferred by their respective sectlons TOT
the proud position of standard bearer
for the anti-ring forces, until we cannot
think of a paper which continues to
| champion the defeated clique, except 1T
he either one owned by member or
one deriving it's precarious snstenance
from the pabulum fed to it. The most
recent accession to the ranks of reform
Democracy which occurs to us is the st.
Landry Democrat. The ''more than thlr-
ty parish papers unduly boosted OF have
/ dwindled to eighteen or twenty, ana
thatincludes more papers than we would
advise the ring to reckon on four weeks
/ longer. The papers which are working
for Pierson, Rost, Bush, Jeffries, Ogden
or Nichols, represent more than two
| thirds of the intelligence and character
of the Louisiana Democracy. Any per-
son acuuinted with the standing OF the
parish papers will see the fact at a
glance, and will recognize the great
change which has been placed on the
| situation by the call to the, standards
/ 1t is plain that the light is already won
/ We append the names of some OF the
anti-administration papers which are
elements of strength in this contest
We do not pretend to make a complete
list. but all that we aim at is to show
that the strength OF the State is on the
side of reform and progress:
