appears to be an odorousn business
all around, and we are promised more
developments in the De Soto Democrat
next week, Editor McClanahan having
promised to make full statement of
the transaction. Let US hear all about
it. The people want more light on the
crooked ways of the Aministra ton and
it's ring supporters.
| Ascension Democrat
Despite the published cards of Con.
Nichols declining to be candidate for
nomination by the Baton Rouge Con-
vention, his numerous friends ia Ascen-
sion parish still recognize. him az their
choice for Governor, and they are pre-
pared to give him their hearty support
in the approaching primary election.
This ls the only consistent course they
can pursue. Whether or not he will ac-
cept the nomination if rendered to him
by the Baton Rouge convention, is a
question not in the province of his sup
porters to decide. They feel that it is
for them to do their duty in giving him
their support. and for him, if called up
on, to decide this important question.
The Shreveport Times keeps flying
at its masthead the following: We
are now engaged in contest with an
administration organ, which is backed
up by E.. A. Burke, of the Times-Demo-
crat, and other managers of the Mem
cry interest, who are spending money
lavishly to defeat the will of the people
and crush out all opposition to them.
These men are bent on ruling or running
the State.
Colfax Chronicle.
Ex-Gov. Nichols reiterates his first
declaration that he is not and will not
be candidate for Governor. That is
Just the man we are looking for. There
are q plenty of men who are candidates,
but we prefer one who is not. If the
nomination is rendered him as the unan-
imous choice of his party and people,
he cannot and will not refuse. All hon
or to the man who is not a candidate.
Let US have q Governor who does not
seek the Office.

lieve that Gov McEnery is corrupt or dishon-
est; while VIC do not believe that he has ever
received a dollar that was not justly his own.
he has quietly permitted venal and corrupt
mon to rob and plumber the State. It ia nm
qnestionably true that a powerful and gigantic
ring exists in this State; tits equally true that
the friends and admirers of our Executive have
most signalIy failed to prove that their candi.

position to ring-rule, which he manifested
about the time he was made Lieutenant Gov
ernor. -

RACING FOR 800 900.

On the 9th Of July the day be-
fore their failure, the Shsws rep
resented to the banking house oi
Fogg & Co, OF Boston. that were in
a prosperous and solvent condition,
and obtained from them a loan OF
100000 esoh. On the 28th the
very next day their assignment was
rendered in the ST. Lawrence county
clerks office in this village. By
some means the sharp sighted law
yers Of Fogg & Co., discovered that
there was legal defect IN the deed
Of assignment, and took measures to
procure an attachment against The
property Of Shaw BIothers in this
county. For the purpose Of putting
notice Of such en- attachment on
record in our county clerks Office,
the Hon. w. P. Cantwell, Of Malone,
came to Canton on Saturday last by
the noon train, accompanied by Mr..
Fogg. It appears that the Shaw
Brothers had also discovered the de-
feet IN their assignment, and bad
executed a new one, which was be-
ing conveyed to Canton for record by
Thomas J Kennedy, a young law
clerk Of Boston, who happened TO
be on the came train. The parties
we're unacquainted, bat for some
reason seem to have been mutually
suspicious Of each other, aud each
determined upon the arrival OF The
train at Canton 10 outwit the other
aud be first at the clerks Office If
possible. The result was an excit-
ing race which, in some Of it's fes-
lures, boIdered on the ludiorous,

Under Sheriff Bailey had been mott
fed by Mr.. Csntwell TO meet him 1t
the depot, and was on hand when
the train stopped. The attachment
papers were placed in his hands by
Mr.. c., who tod him to make the
best possible time to the clerks Of
fee. He got started while young
Kennedy was inquiring the way but
be was soon over,aken and passed
and sc eng that the young man was
too fleet for him, he stopped gen
tleman whom he met driving fast
horse to buggy, turned him about
in a jify jumped in aud drove to the
clerks Office at full speed, arrived
there little in advance Of Kennedy
who ran all the way. In the mean
time Mr.. Cantwell had secured the
AID OF a horse and buggy, and reach
ed the Office a little behind Kennedy
The race had been won by the
attorneys Of Fogg & Co., Mr.. Bailey
having delivered the attachment
papers TO the clerk before the arri-
val of the amended assignment. But
after al, Kennedy found a defect
in the attachment, and so got his
paper on file forty-fve minutes be-
fore the other could be amended.
The reeult of all these hsps and
mishaps will doubtless be long
and intere esting litigation in he
court.
