Thihodaux Sentinel.


The friends Of Gov. McEnery vaiiantly de-
Tended him and his administration from the
malicious attacks of his enemies during the
late campaign. His political opponents on
the stump and through the press denounced
his administration and his so-ealed personal
ism, attacked his reputation and ridlculed his
educational, agricultural and levee policies.
The baseless charges were met ana dispsoveo
time and again by his adherents. And now
the Governor has at last been vindicated, fully
and completely, by his very opponents The
late convention has unanimously adopted IN
its platform the following resolution
1--WE also endorse the administration of Gov
ernor Samuel Douglas McEnery as q recogni-
tion of the eminent services to the State of
faithful public servants; and we affirm that
tue administration of public affairs in Louisi-
ana has, during the last eleven years, brought
the State out of anarchy, developed wealth
and prosperity, aud paved the way to the high
position Louisiana is entitled to among the
States, and we pledge ourselves to its perpet-
uaGion.o
This is praise, indeed Truly, had the con.
ventien been wholly composed of the friends
Of Gov. McEnery he could not have expected
u higher or inster tribute. And as If to accen-
tuate the matter still more, the con-
ventiou has distinctly recognized his levee,
educational aud agricultural policies, and
formally and expressly pledged the Democra,
cy to their maintainance. furtherance and
perpetuation Thus the Governor and his
friends have been fully justified and complete
iy indicated BY that very wing of the Demo.
cratic party which so lately bitterly opposed
them.
Indeed, as the Bienville ddvd.,ce, a warm
supporter Of Gen. Nichols nomination, appro-
priateIy remarks. s1ime alone will demon
strate whether the State convention has done
a wise act in refusing to seat the present
Governor for four years longer
