WHO WILL GO TO CONGRESS-.
Speculations at the Capital.

Judge A. a. Gunby, of Ouachita,
who was at Baton Rouge this week in
attendance upon the meeting of the
Louisiana Educational Society, in
formed Representative Garretson, Of
that parish, that he would not be Il.
candidate for Congress. TIE impress
sion prevails that Hon. Cheruhusco
Newton will be renominateG, though
there are many aspirants for his Con-
gresSional shoes.
1t is held, at the Capital, that Con
gresham Theodore S. Wilkinson will
be renominated in the First District.
City Attorney Carleton Hunt may be
pushed forward As Il candidate. IL dis
cussing the probabilities at the Stale
House last Thursday II gentleman sus-
gested that Judge White would be i,
candidate. Senator EItopinal denied
this aud said that tie felt cert an that
Judge White was "A friend OF Mr.. Will
kins0n, and ne offered to wager that
the latter gentleman would he his own
successor.
In the Second District the name Of
Representative Euclid Borland of the
tenth ward is being extensively men-
toned for Congress. Hon. Matt ID. La.
gan has IA strong backing, and is expec-
ted by his many friends to return AS
the representative of that district.
1t is reported that Collie ctOr p. F..
Jonas will be n candidate in the Second
District.
In the Third District Hon. j. NJ
Avery Of Iberia aud Congressman Gay
will contest for the honor of making
the fight in that district, as Hon. NJ. j .
Foster of ST. Mary has declined to en-
er the race.
In the Fourth Congressional District
u careful survey Of the situation shows
that If an available man can be found
Mr.. blanchard may be defeated, even
in Ca,ldo parish. If Il canvass is made
III the district the result would very
likely be as in Caddo, except perhaps
in Natchitoches. The man most spO-
ken of AS Il candidate in opposition to
the present Congressman is Judge w.
+. Biackman, OF Rapitlcs, who, if he
were to signify his intention TO make
the contest, it is alleged, would sweep
the district. Mr.. Sutherlin is also fts
vorabiy mentioned. Tho Sixth Dis.
trict, Judging by the gossip, is Il free
for all race, with at least one "favorits,
son" in each parish.

THE CHICAGO CONTENTION.

The Republican convention at Chica-
go labored six days, and following the
divine order Of things, took Il rest on
the seventh. On the eighth it again
labored, failed TO recognize the light of
the "Whjte Plume of Navarro" in the
promised land, and brought forth a
rather weak ticket-IIarrison and
Morton. 1t seems that the purpose OF
the convention, after recognizing the
impossibiiity of nominating Blaine,
was not so much the personnel of the
ticket as determination to cover and
and occupy the battle ground OF the
coming contest-:he pivotal States of
New York and Indiana. This it did,
bot will it avail anything? VIII no.
that advantage be Offset by the weak
ness of the ticket: Gen. Harrison is a
good man, has average ability, and Is
ALMOST famous as the grandson of his
grand father, ''Tippacanoe," but be
has been twice defeated by the Demo
Gratis for governor of his own State and
it is more than probable that they will
defeat him in the coming contest.
Morton has been measurably success
ful in politics, more on accoun: of his
money than his brains, craftsmanship
or patriotism, and his record is rathe,
salty. The Democrats are already in
possession Of the battle field-NeW
Iork-and they are well intrenched
1t Is more than doubtful if Mr.. Morton
will be equal to the task assigned him
that OF capturing the breastworks o.
the Democracy in New York.
Harrison and Morton do not compare
fdvorably with Cleveland and Thur.
man in any sense and there is little
reason to fear the defeat of the latter.

Geo. Vim. Curtis on the Republican
Candidates..

New YORK, June 2G.-The Even-
ing Post says: The ticket nominated
at Chicago after such prolonged agony
is not of a kind to excite much enthu-
siasm, bnt is, nnveri hciess, II very re-
putable one, and for this we return
thanks without reserve to the Republic
can convention and the Republican
party. 1t is an ideal condition in poll
tics when the public have reasonable
assurance that whichever party is sue
cesiul, the dignity of the nation will
receive no harm from the character Of
the occupant Of The presidential Office.
When ii is remembered how much has
been escaped, and how narrowly one
great patty has avoided candidacy
which would have again made the
personal issue the absorbing one of the
campaign, the feeling of thank fulness
is decpcned. MI. Harrison is II fair
representative of the party-not the
best One-not so good IS Gresham
would have been not so commanding
a figure IA Sherman, but Intimately bet
ter than Blaine. He has not the per-
sonal qualities that attract the multi,
tude, nor has he accumulated the re-
nOWn which belongs to an extended
public career, but on the otter hand
he has made none of the autagOnisms
which are usually inseparabIe from a
long period of public sci vice, and since
his record is comparatively brief, his
opponents will find few points of attack
and his supporters will have little to
defend. III brief, Mr.. Harrison is not
stronger than his party, but he is not
weaker than his party. His nomina-
ton leaves the field open for the frcest
discussion OF the principles which Iii
vide the American people. MIR. C!cvc-
land is stronger than his party, but not
so much stronger. 1t will be tho merit
OF the coming campaign that it will
he fought more distinctly on principles
than any other since the first election
OF Gen. Grant, which determined the
reconstruction of the Southern States"

Gen. Sherman says that the R'rub-
ticau ticket is one of the strongest that
could have possibly been nominated,
but that he would have preferred to
have seen his brother John get first
place. In the same breath he criticizcs
Mr.. Cleveland for not having enlisted
during the war, Notwithstanding his
brother John found civil life more con-
genial about that time, also.
