The congregational Races.

1t is i'm the first and third districts espec-
tally that they hope to be successful. The
city of New Orleans is divided into two
congressional distrcts-the first and second
each with an attachment of rural terri
tory The first district is now represented
by Hon. Adolph Meyer. who will certainly
be opposed by one Independent candidate,
DIR. Tichenor. Senator Albert Estopinal a
bounty-holder, now attending Indignation
meetings, will be candidate before the
convention which meets on the Sth of Oc-
tober, unless he is nominated before by the
sugar boilers. There is a strong impress
sion that Estopinal will wrest the nominal
ton from Meyer in that event, and it is
his fear of this that caused Meyer to write
his pleading letter to the president asking
for the word that might save him. 1t is in
this district that Warmoth lives, and il is
presumed that he would be willing to be
put up by the sugar men, if Estopinal can
be kept out of his way.
In the second district, now represented by
Hon. X. G. Davey, there is some doubt as
to whether he win consent to serve again.
His business interests have suffered by his
absence in Washington. He returned to
the city last Monday night, when he
stated that he would not be candidate.
As he is a very useful man pressure Will
be brought TO bear on him to stand again.
The sugar men allege that Mr.. Davey's
q
he knows the new movement would sweep
him out OF existence. The republican
claimant seeking his shoes is eX-Congress-
man II. Dudley Coleman, who became
republican in 1884 on the sugar issue.
1t is in the third district which boasts of
Donaldsonyille, that the battle royal is ex-
pected to take place. The sugar planters
who have gone into the new movement
are not numerous in themselves, but they
ma xubn nd
a big vote. The sitting member from the
third, Hon. Andrew Price, if he will ac-
cept the democratic denomination, will, 1t
is confidently claimed, be reelected. Cap
tain G. TayiO Cade speaks strongly for
Prices denomination, and says he can be
reelected over the strongest opposition the
sugar men can put out. The nominating
convention meets at Houma on the Sd OF
October. The meeting of the executive COM
mittee the other day showed stiff demo-
cratic backbone, determining to make the
straight fight on the democratic platform.
This elected from Governor Foster the
statement: II congratulate you upon your
patriotic stand. The third district must
rally to the standard of true democracy.
All yet will be wel.' Judge Taylor Beattle
is beating the bushes for the republican
nomination, but it is on the cards for the
sugar men to support Henry Mccall.
The fourth district is that formerly rep
resented by Hon. w. G. Blanchard. 1t is
now represented by Hon. il. w. Ogden
who will be renominated. The nomination
will be by primary on the 9th of October.
In the fifth district the sugar meE have
as little sympathy as they wOulc have in
the fifth of Georgia. The district conven-
ton meets in Ruston on September 18th,
and viii renoninate Hon. g J. bodtteF-
who is spoken of as the active congressman
from Louisiana. The parish meetings now
being held are endorsing the tariff bill
calling for still more reductions, and de-
nouncing those who favor protection IN
any form.
