After q prolonged aud stormy ses.
sion OF six days, the congressional Con-
vention at Monroe completed Its iabors
on Tuesday last by nominating as the
candidate ofthe democracy OF the Fifth
District, the Hon. Charles J. Boatner,
OF -Ouachita. The nomination was
made by acclama ION, aud the conven-
ton adjourned with everybody In a
good humor. ~s...s ..
1t Is scarcely necessary for us TO say
much Of the nominee, 80 well is Col.
Boatner known to the public of this
District. a. f..rg u.g!,. ..,.
Although YET young man Col.
BoatueI was one of that stalwart band
OF Democrats who by their devotion to
duty, noble courage tn the midst Of adj
versity and steadfast purpose brought
about the political regeneration of Lou
istana and redeemed the State from The
horrors Of Republican, lnisrule.
AS a lawyer Cot. Boatner occupies
an enviabie position in the front rank
of the bar of North Louisiana, and has
long enjoyed an extensive and lucra.
tive practice. 4an-
AS speaker whether at the bar or
on the stump, Col. Boatner Is forcible,
clear logical, and eloquent.
An uncompromising Democrat, Mr..
Boatner belongs to the political school
OF which Samuel Douglas McEuery is .
noble exponent, and In the late guber-
material contest was one of the most
trusted friends and advocates of the ex.
governor.
The Gazette cordially approves the
action of the convention, and predicts
for the nominee a brilliant career In the
National Legislature.

In the contest which concluded with
the notnfnatjoa OF Mr.. Boatner, Mr..
Newton had no warmer supporters
than Chas. ]. and John s. Boatner.
These gentlemen were his earnest and
sincere friends from the beginning to the
end, aud ii the latter had any aspIra-
tions whatever, 1t was only in the
event that Mr.. Newton, was with
drawn. As for the statement that
Col. Boatner was candidate of the
''Ouachita Ring" or any other Ring,
we know that to DO utterly without
foundation.
power to secure the denomination OF
Mr.. Newton. The Ouachita delega-
ton had stood firmly and manfutIy by
our candidate for six Gays, and it was
not the fault of Mr.. Boatner nor of the
Ouachita delegation, that Mr.. Newton
failed OF nomination. Alter it be-
came apparent that Mr.. Newton could
not be re.nominated, the name of every
prominent and available man in the
district was presented in conference for
consideration, and not one could be
found who coutd unite the conflicting
elements OF the convention Or secure
the necessary two>thirds vote.
When Mr.. Newton's name was with
drawn, the convention was no nearer q
solution than before.
Then II was that the name OF Chas.
J. BOatner was presented and il was
accepted as the only one around which
the scattered and disorganized forces OF
the Democracy could rally. The More.
house delegation, knowing that he had
been true and loyal to the interest OF
Mr.. Newton, were unanimously in
favor Of his nomination. His name
was placed in nomination by s. II.
Baird, who had nominated Mr.. New
ton and PSF delegates out of the 81
voted for Boatner.
This nomination was not only not
made by his connivance or political
trickery, II he were capable of such,
but it came to him without his knowI-
edge or solicitation.
We do not believe that any Democrat
needs any persuasion from US IL vote
for the party, and we make these
statements to fully and unequivocally
vindIcate Mr.. Chas. J. Boatner from
having any hand In what we think
was the political slaughter of Hon. G.

The dead lock In the Monroe conven-

1t Is true that the friends of Hon. q.

or to state that Mr.. Boatner is in no
manner responsible for this. He In no
fashion sought the nomination and
was not suggested AS candidate until

consented to accept 1t upon the assur.
ance that he was the only man upon
whom the Convention could agree and
that unless he did so the convention
would probably adjourn without max
ing a nomination at all. He was
placed In nomination by Mr.. Newton's
closest friends and was unquestionably
the man above all others preferred by
the delegations that had 80 calamity
and persistently stood by the candi.
dacy of that gentleman. Under all the
circumstances there Is no reason why
every Democrat in the district should
not give Mr.. Boatner a cordial and
earnest support; on the contrary 1t is
their duty to do so, since no Is the
regular nominee Of a regularly organi-
zed Democratic convention, and Is in
all respects capable and worthy of

opinion he Is one Of the soundest public
