1t is universally conceded that South
western Louisiana will have strong
claims to urge before the next Demo
cratic Convention, and movement is
now under way with the object of de-
manding for this section the first place
upon the State ticket. More than this /:
the friends Of the eminent gentleman
whose name heads this article have de-
cided. upon presenting his name TO the
next Convention for the position OF
Governor.
OF this worthy gentleman it is hardly
necessary for rs to indulge in the Ian
guage of eulogy. He is known, not
only at home, hut IN Southwestern
Louisiana. and in fact all over the
State, as a man whose past services to
the State, exalted character, and fine
abilities eminently qualify him to wor-
thily fiji the Office of Governor.
Voicing this general sentiment and
demand, we hoist his name as a guber
material candidate, and call upon the
press of Southwestern Louisiana and o.
the whole State to support us in the
advocacy of his claims.
