MONROE. LOUISIANA, SATURDAY, MAY l2 1885,

seat on the Supreme Court bench. The
Governors many friends wilt no doubt
be pleased to read this eioquentiy
complimentary appeal in his behalf:
A great pubic calamity has been
averted, the political horizon OF Louis
lana, which for moment was over
cast with clouds threatening absolute
ruin to the material interest Of our
State and our people, has been cleared
up, and the land is now enveloped In
the glorious sunshine OF Democratic
government and the supremacy Of the
white race.
That this state Of affairs has been
brought about, to great degree, by
the efforts of Governor McEnery, no
impartial man can deny, that to him
we owe debt of gratitude, greater
perhaps than we can ever discharge, is
equally true.
Therefore, we should consider II ii is
not within our power, in some way, to
testify to tho admiration, respect and
gratitude which we bear TO him who
has never hesitated when he could
serve his people.
A vacancy is shortly to occur from
Court of the State. We do not know
that he desires this appointment, but
We do know that It would be grace
ful thing If petitions were prepared
suggesting to, and requesting from
Governor Nichols the appointment Of
Governor McEnery to fill this vacancy.
Such petitions, we believe, would be
signed gladly by every Democrat In
the State, a grateful people would ha II,
with pleasure, san opportunity to
thus testify to their love for the man
who loves them so we'll.
Aside from these considerations there
is no lawyer in the State better equip-
ped for the position, and in honoring
Governor McEnery signal service
would also be done TO our judiciary
system.
We trust that this suggestion will
meet the hearty approval OF tho Democ-
racy Of louisiana, that petitions be a.
once prepared and circulated for sigma
lures; that we may present such an ar
ray Of names as was never before at
tached to public document in Louisi-
ana.
Let US in this matter, transmit TO
posterity that which each and every
one OF US recognize in our own hearts,
the great worth, the unparalleled hero-
ism OF character, the loftiness OF princi-
pie and the eminent ability of Louisi-
ana's most beloved son Samuel Doug

The Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin.

LOUISIANA WEATHER SERVICE,
New Orleans, Saturday, May s, 1883. !
Isaintait--An excess OF from to 9
inches in the rainfall during tho past
week is reported from tho northern tier
of parishes in the State; abont an aver
age weekly amount fell in the central
aud southern portions, and deficiency
OF from ! OF an inch to l inch Is repor-
ted from the east.central section.
Weekly rainfails over an inch were re-
ported from Shreveport, Liberty Hill,
Alexandria, New Iberia, AbbevilIe and
New Orleans. Local rains will fail TO.
day and tomorrow in the east.ceu trai
portion, and will be II material aid to
the growing crops. 1t is also probable
that the northern section of the State
will be visited by rains within the next
two days.
The seasonal rainfall (Jap. i TO date}
ranges from an excess OF about an inch
in Southern Louisiana to Il deficiency
of two and oue-half inches in the north
western, aud about five inches in the
northeastern portion.
Temperature-The weather for the
week has been cooler than usual in the
southern and northern portions of the
State, with an average temperature in
the central portion.
Sunshine-The percentage of sunshine
for the week has been about the aver.
age, except in the sections from whence
abnormal amounts of precipitation are
reported, where the percentage WAS he
low the weekly May average.
EXTRACTS FROM OBSERVERS REPORTS.
Shreveport--rhe rainfall has been
greatly in excess for The week, and has
affected the cotton crop ipjuriously.
Liberty Hill-Drouth broken on
10Th; conditions ntt favorable to grow
ing crops.
Trinity-Tbe past week has been all
that could have been desired by far
mers. The bountiiul rain of the 29th
and 3oth nit, proved very ben eiicial to
cotton and corn, as well as to gardens.
Reports from surrounding country re-
garding crops are very good.
Alexandria-Crop prospects are
splendid, provided we have no cxces-
sIve rains. Threatening to-day.
FrankIinton--The planters are need
ing rain: ground too hard TO break
well.
ClintUn-Isain of 10Th has done some
good, but the cotton now started will
not come up until we have good
soaking rain.
Kenner--Crops suffering for rain.
Abbeville-Au excess Of rain is re-
ported from the northern part of the
parish, being the heaviest known in
many years. This immediate vicinity
has been exceptionally favored, while
the lower portion of the parish is sui.

BLAINE WILL RUN.
IIc Places Himself Gin the Hands of
His Fricnds.''

The Philadelphia Times of the 9TH
inst. published the following special,
triple loaded, from New York and
endorsed it as coming direct from the
most authentic source:
New York, Nay III have entirely
reliable information that the friends of
Mr.. Blaine have, within the last three
days, received direct from him his
assent to an aggressive movment for his
denomination for President, and the
assurance that, if nominated in the face
of his Florence letter of'declination, he
would not feel at liberty to decline.
A general and systematic effort has
been made by Mr.. Blaine's closest
friends, such as Chairman Jones, viii,
liam Walter Phelps, Whiielaw Reid,
Charles Emory Smith and others, for
two months past, to get Blaine into an
attitude Of passive candidate. The
Washington conference was only part
of the varied methods by which intlu-
Blaine, and the publication of his por-
triat freshly taken from life in Italy and
issued by the Judge this week, was de-
cided on more than month ago as the
starting point for the avowed effort to
make Blaine the candidate. Every
possible pressure has been put upon
Blaine to get from him the direc; assu-
rance that he will not decline, if nomi-
mated, and that assurance has been re-
ceived in this city f1om Blaine within
the last three days.
In a very few days more it will
cease to be a secret that Blaine is in the
hands of hts friends, as tho Blaine lead
ers will at once come to the front and
make an aggressive campaign for his
denomination.
This movement has been pretty
clearly foreshadowed for some weeks
in such Blaine organs as the Tribune,
of this city, and the Phiiadelpbia
Press, and all. l.atfectation about Biaine's
candidacy will now soon ne thrown of
and the battle made an aggressive one.
Part of the. original programme was
the election of Charles Emory Smith
as delegate at large from your State,
and the failure was great disappoint-
ment TO the Blaine junta in this city:
but Mr.. Smith gives the assurance that
Blaine can command "a majority Of the
L euuSS lNduid ueleSaiiUu nHuST any
circumstances, and that II Biaine's
nomination shall seem TO be assured
the delegation will be solid for him.
The unexpected expressions in
Massachusetts and Vermont for Blaine
were not accidental, uor are they un-
expected 10 Biaine's friends. When
all Of the anti-B Blaine men were repos-
ing on their arms because they regard
ed Blaine as out of the fight, the
friends of Blaine were most energetic
in their work in the two anti Blaine
New England States, and they got pos
session of Vermont and Massachusetts
while the Others were sleeping in fan
cied security. 1t was tho expression
OF these hitherto anti Blaine New En-
gland States that made Blaine cast
aside his doubts and assent TO the i'm
portunities nf his friends for his re-
nomination.
1t is now positive fact that Blaine
is in the field that his friends have
his assent to a movement III his favor,
and that he will be nominated at
Chicago ii hard work and plenty Of
enthusiasm Gan accomplish il.

crsditable one aud would have done honor
to much older community than the en-

readers Of the Great Religious Dsily will
bear in mind this entertainment was given
in frontier town, nearly 300 miles north
west from Fort Worth, where social
gatherings of the kind are supposed to be
the exception rather than the rule. This
Thanksgiving trimmings ever held In the
Panhandle, and is only the forerunner OF
great possibilities for the church in this
portion Of the empire state.
The object OF mis- supper WAS to raise
funds for the completion Il their church
building, which will have cost when
