St. Landry democrat., 1891-12-12
The Result,

The delegates of the combine me
here on Wednesday, the 9th inst, an,
finlslicd up the four months job tha
the Alliance and the Ants had beer
working on. The result has long sine,
been foreshatloWed. The farmers con
ttactcd with the Autis for The Legisla
tufe,. and gave them for it the DuWnt
poSthons. Some of the farmers Wer,
crednlo lous enough to imagine that the,
tue ants got en-" The candidates
were numerous enough to have otficereC
me State, but from some lack of fore
th0nght the offices were tOO-few. We
sympathlza with tie unfortunate aspi-
rants who worked so hand to get up the
feast, ard who are left to look at the
empty dishes, but as we were not in
yIted it would i'll become us to engage
Ill ceDsures of the distribution of the
| good things.
| Our friends may later on get up an
Old style reunion of Democrats, and
mere Is lingering Of hope in our minds
that some OF them may get to pick their
'eetil sooner than the otfsprings of the
combine.
The secrets Of the combine are now
known, and before the ides of April we
would not be at all surprised il some of
the nominees lose the grip. The per-
sonnet OF the ticket, outside of other
considerations, will aO-do as gentle
men.
without intending to offend, We take
the liberty OF giving the names of those
who held winning tickets in the lottery
OF nominations:
For the State Senate, c. w. Ward. of
Big Cane; for the House, Rev. A. Stage.
OF Bull Run; Patrick Donahay, of
Stumpy Bayou; Geo. Pulford, of Ope-
iiousas; for Coroner, Dr.. Ben. F. Gull
beau, of Big Hill; for Sheriff, T. S. FoD-
frnot, OF st. Landry; for Clerk, Robert
Cfacherc, of Opelousas; recommended
for judge, +. /. Lewis, of Wouldliketo-
stay; tor District attorney, E. B. Du-
buisson, of Bull Run.
All OF these are clever gentlemen, and
us individuals we have nothing to saw
OF them which could be offensive. Mr. |
Ward has worked hard in tile cause in
spIicd 10y his ambitioD, and if his selec-
tion eventuatcs in a re- ward by the peo- |
pie we Will award him our complacent |
acqulcscence for the term OF his office. |
Respecting tile nominees for the lower
house OF the Legislature, We may ven
ture to say it was doubtless wise and
proper to place one divine among them,
TO lead the way, or misguided souls
might otherwise take the wrong road
% reformation in the public morals. AS
o. Messrs. Pulford and Donahay, we
hlnk 1t happy thought which served
. unity and harmonize Albion and the
Isle. For centuries these
have been bitterly antagoniz-
ng each otlier-!lie one to dominate,
he other for emancipation. Happy,
hilCe happy, old st. Landry, that size
hpppIpn noI,tpa1 |
on and the lamb may lie down toeeth
r: and little child shall lead them.
Or. Guilbeau, we presume, is admi-
ably qualified for the duties of the Of
cee assigned him. Like all other ply
clans, he has doubtless seen enough of =
Is own patients to have learned what +
takes to Kill man. 5
We need not eulogize Mr.. L. S. Fon- |
mot, the select man for Sheriff, az he |
we'll known and will be remembered +
D the day Of the election.
MIR. Robert Chachele, who has been a
amed for Clerk OF the Court, is mem a a
Pr OF very numerous and highly res a
ected family, and should he be hon q
ed 10y election, will learn some things t
, may not yet have learned. and profit q q
70 by experience, whether elected or a
IT. /,
Hon. L. T. Lewis is famliarly known il
the voters. who will pay their res 8
cts to his candidacy in a manner com- s.
emorative OF their appreciation of his
lSt services. a.
Mr.. Z. B. Dubuisson is one of the ma r r
re productions of St. Landry is
ghly respected and we think desery- -
ly so but we apprehend his recent q, u
lItlcal grooming has not been alto -
ther calculated to give him great ",
eed, although having good bottom. W
As we before remarked, We think the H;u,
rsonnel OF the ticket all well enough, IL
{ we VIII have something to say of fl
cir political paternity later on. VI y,
