Little Annie, daughter of k. II. and NJ. l. Crank. was born August A, 1886, and died November 30, 1888. Little Annie was bright and charming child. Although her stay on earth was but short while, she was here long enough to become the pet and tender care of her parents. This little bud has been plucked by the angel of death, to be planted on brighter shore. Our Father, who loved her best, took from the fond and loving parents, thls lamb, only to gather it up into His own tender and loving arms. Then, look mp, dear parents, and brush away the burning tears from your checks, and rejoice in the fact that these, now faded flowers, shall rise in full immortal prime, and bloom to fade no more. A.

The Third Congressional District
Convention of Louisiana has done
we'll to nominate Hon. E. J. Gay for Il
third term in the House Of Representa-
tives. Mr.. Gay has in two terms in
Congress proved himself a man of af-
fairs. His extensive and practical
knowledge of commercial and financial
matters has made him a most valuable
member of the Committee on Appro-
priations, while his able and vigorous
defense on the floor of Congress of
Southern commercial and agricultural
industries has attracted general atten-
ton and emphasizes the Importance of
securing for those great interests a
practical representation. ;
There are other gentlemen in the
district possessed doubtless of these
high qualifications, and the nomination
Of either Of them would have been re-
ceived with popular satisfaction and
the congratulations of Il large follow.
ing, but Mr.. Gay alone possessed the
prestige of success and in view Of the
danger Of the possible recovery by the
Republicans of control in that district
the convention wisely sunk all ques-
tons of personal preference and by ac-
clamatiOn nominated a mau who can
carry the election. 1t is to be hoped
that like wise counsels will prevail in
some of the other districts of the State
where a feud Or detection among the
Democracy might precipitate disaster.

National Democratic Ticket.
MR.. GAY RENOHINATED.

o tA"Ae 81 ASA<AN W
The Democrats of the Third Con-
gressiOnal District in convention as
sembled have unanimously and by &C
clamation renominated the Hon. E. j.
Gay, of Iberville, for Congress, and at
the coming election will no doubt re-
turn him by an overwhelming MAORI
ty.
The convention has paid a very
high compliment-the very highest,
indeed, within its powcr-to Mr.. Gay,
and the consideration that it is the
genuine expression of the true senti-
ments of the Democracy of the district
and none less than was eminently de-
served by him, adds to it's Importance
and significance. It is a compliment
that necessarily must be keenly appre-
ciated by its recipient, and rendered
as it was, with such unanin,ity of pur-
pose, such enthusiasm, it cannot but
be patriotically accepted by our wor-
thy Representative Mr.. Gay must,
Nh. Gay will, hearken to the callsof his
people, and his patriotism and devo-
ton to his constituents will impel him
once more to sacrifice his personal
ease and comforts to respond to their
wants.
Of course, the SENTINEL experien-
ces keen qualification at the renomina-
ton of Mr.. Gay. 1t was one of the
first organs in the district to advocate
his cause and press his claims. With
what ability and cogency of reasoning,
it leayes it to others to say. After Mr..
Gays telegram of declination to the
chairman Of the district executive
committee, the SENTINEL, in conjunc-
ton with other influential journals of
the district, assumed and advanced
the position that it was nevertheless
the duty Of the convention to tender
MI. Gay an unanimous denomination
and trust to his patriotism and devo-
ton for acceptance. This view was
wisely adopted by the convention and
the people will testify their approval
in q rousing majority at the coming
election.
The SENTINEL recalls these facts in
no boastful spirit, for it claims no es-
pecial merit in the matter, except that
Of having as a public organ faithfully
and conscientiously pursued and urg-
ed, regardless of all other considera-
tons. that policy which it deemed
most conducive to the general welfare.
In that lies it's reward.

ton at New iberia. The action Of the
conmittssth motives which moved
it theretsand the reasons On witch \
was based are all pretty we'll under
stood by our readers and it is useless
to trouble them here with a recapitu-
lation.
The protest was referred to the Com
mittee N Credentials composed of one
delegate from each parish, which re-
ported unanimously in favor of seating
the twenty-eight delegates appointed
by our committee. On opposition to
the adoption Of this report of the COM
mittee before the convention, Senator
E. A. O'Snllivan was heard for the
contestants and Col. l. D.. Moore in IA
vor of the adoption of the report.
From what we have been enabled to
gather from the daily press and from
delegates present, pretty much the
same line of argument pro and con
| was pursued in the convention as had
been urged in our committee.
After hearing both sides of the issue,
the convention decided to seat the
tw%enty-eight delegates by a vote of
SO to Al, thus approving and ratifying
the action of our committee in no I'M
mistakable terms, and putting an end
to the fOur-year-tenure business.
But what is more particularly graft
flying is the fact that the convention
has decided the question on its merits
purely and simply, and has resisted
all attempts at being drawn into a fac
tional consideration of the case. A
scanning of the votes reveals the fact
that every parish in the district ex-
cept Cameron-which has but two
votes-cast either a whole or a partial
vote in favor of the admission of the
tw%enty-eight delegates. Of our imme-
diate neighbors Ascension cast her
fourteen votes for, Assumption five for
and five against, and Terrebonne her
nine votes for their admission.
This was as it should have been.
The SENTINEL uttered Il note of warn
ing in its last issue against any at
tempt to infuse partisanship into the
solution of a pure question of party
discipline and party usage. Its warn
ing seems not to have been needed by
some, but the convention rose superior
to all factionalism and decided the
case on its merits.
knowing the people Of the district
as It does, the SENTINEL never expect
ed anything else from the patriotism
and Democracy of the members of the
convention.
