Inc ucket nominated by the con
vention last Tuesday is strong one
| and its personnel is as good as any ticket
that preceded it. OF course those who
failed to be nominated are dissatisfied
But the very object of a convention il
that aspirants for office shall pool Their
chances, so that only one set Of candi.
dates shall be supported by the party
and its strength not be wasted between
a lot Of independent candidates. The
Offices mainly sought after are those of
Clerk and Sheriff, because they pay
best. Now, no convention could be
held that could nominate two men for
those offices, who would combine more
strength and ability than the present
nominees. The theory is that Offices
were created for the benefit of the peo-
pie. A large representative body Of in
telligent taxpayers assembled in con-
vention and nominated candidates for
all the Offices in the gift of the people.
1t is stated that an independent ticket
will be put i'll the field against the reg
ular Democratic ticket. Such a
ticket is bound to be the product of
scheming politicians who can no longer
control the Democratic party. If the
Democratic party is to be defeated, let
it he done by the Republican party and
Republican ticket, and not by disinte-
grafton engineered by those who, be-
cause they cannot use the party, seek to
destroy it. 1t is claimed that the
colored voters, who are the bulk of the
Republican party of the parish, are in
the majority. If the Democratic party
is weakened by independent candidates,
the Democratic ticket is bound to he
defeated. IT is not the intention of
those so-calIed democrats who are
scieming to defeat the Democratic
ticket, that a straight Republican tick
ct shall he voted by the colnred voters.
Even if such 4 ticket were nominated,
it would never reach the ballot box
it would be changed in printing the
tickets, as has been done before. Those
who put up the money will be apt to
dictate certain candidates on the So
called Republican ticket. Such tick
ct will no more represent the colored
voters than the one nominated last
Tuesday. One thing is certain, no
money was used to secure any nomina-
ton by the Democratic convention, and
the nominees will fill the Offices as sat-
tisfact0rily as any others who may be
before the people. The success of this
ticket will be a great blow to the meth
cd of carrying elections by money and
corruption. Between this Democratic
ticket, aud independent ticket with
mainly Republican votes to back ii, the
colored people would do better to vote
the Democratic ticket. Under it they
would get good government, which is
ali that good citizens want.
