Ex-Gov. Francis 7. Nichols.

Whilst it is not within our province
TO make nominations for the Demo
cratic party, we deem it meet and
right to publicly consider and discuss
the merits of public men and their
consequent claim to preferment In
that view the name of Ex-Governor
Francis T. Nichols heads this article
as highly commendable choice for
Che next Governor of Louisiana.
To those who value honest, hard
sense manhood, the name of Francis
z. Nichols viii be received with
much rejoicing.
10 those who esteem Louisiana and
her dignity; this true son Of our State
and her glory win be hailed with loud
acclaim.
To all men, Of every class, who rest
as upon . bedrock, on the higher
principles OF the Democratic party,
and who oppose jobbery and chilean
cry in politics, and who believe in the
Divine Right of the sovereignty OF
the people. this honest heightened
and tried Democrat calls ever, as with
the blast from q bugle. TO stand for
exact justice and honesty in politics.
TO the whole people Of the State
he is known. To manyof Louisiana's
chielest interests his name and his
talents have been given.
Is he man of ability Let Lou
isianians anywhery. everywhere, an

in politics and tricks stink from his
presence as crime from the glare of
the san.
Il there be one thing more than
another for which this distinguished
man Is pre-eminent, it is his frmness
for the right under any and all cir
cumstances. His character is like the
polished and stainless mirror, which
never absorbs but casts back and
magni6es the approach of the slightest
defoEmity. Can any person show one
single act Of this mans life in con-
PREVENTION Of this. II so, let him do

he has asked for no Office, is no
Oface-seeker, but hosts of friends
are again earnestly urging his nomi-
nation for Governor OF this State
II nominated and elected will he be
true to Louisiana and her interests
and the best interests Of our common
country? His whole life gives but
one answer.
TO what trust has he ever been
faithlessf TO what call of his State
has he ever failed to respond as one
Of her truest and most honored sons9
Let Louisiana Democrats every
where rally to the support Of Francis
T. Nichols for our next Governor.
As man he is Just and firm; as q
citizen he is law abiding. AS Ia states

Fiors. In all affairs, both public and
private, he is just, able and honorable.

While it is true that some worthy

controlling public journals, however
able and successful such journals
may be, when they become the prey
of the Spectator, the decline and
fall of the money-clogged newspaper
is inevitable. journalism is now
the great teacher of the people; the
Office of public journalist is the high

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

That there has been a feeling of depres.
sion in business circles for sometime past is
fact apparent TO the ordinary observer.
The iron trade, which is usually considered
the business barometer, has fallen from a
condition of remarkable prosperity to one
OF great dullness, the natural reaction from
that oyer-stimulus given u it by the ex.
traordinary demand for rails and railroad
equipments, growing out OF the great extern
sion of our railroad system.
The revision of the tariff has contributed
somewhat 81 increase the uncertainty re.
garding the future. and many industries
will feel the effect m the disturbance which
always results from tariff notifications,
whether they are beneficial To the country
or otherwise.
Recently the floods on the Ohio river,
which are more disastrous than ever before,
have become another occasion of gloomy
representation.
Yet, Notwithstanding all these untoward
circumstances, it is highly probable that a
fairly prosperous year for business will be
the outcome in the end. At this season OF
the year il is not unusual for the business

OF seasonable weather, and the setting in of
the tide Of traffic, cheeriulness returns and
fears are abandoned. II. ON the other hand
there are at present many conditions which
seem To justify apprehension of evil, there
are, on the other. important facts from which
we may properly infer that the business of
tie country is on sound busis, and that
the future will demonstrate the unreason.

From the daily quotations of the press
throughout tie country we read that the
