The Democratic Nominees.


The Democratic Nominees.
The high moral, intellectual and
social standing of the 36 men NAM
ed in the ticket above, who are the
Democratic nominees for the State
at large for delegates to the consti-
tutional convention, constitutes it
the most remarkable ticket that
has ever been presented to the peo-
pie of Louisiana for their suffrage.
Without single exception SO far
as we know, they are all men of in
tegrity and known worth. The Six
delegates at large, and those for
the 4th district, are known to our
citizens, and by them the balance
of the ticket can be measured.
They are men who stand above
party prejudice, and can consistent
ly be supported by every patriot
without regard to political faith.

At the request of the bondsmen
of Sheriff Kemp, the editor of this
paper visited New Orleans and Ba-
ton Rouge this week, and had an
interview with the Governor and
Auditor, relative to an adjustment
of the deficiency of the sheriff OF
Grant in his settlements at the Au-
ditor's office. Noticing by the pa
pers that Gov. Foster would be in
New Orleans on Monday, to hold q
conference with the Tangipaboa
authorities, and also to consult with
the citizens of New Orleans rela-
tive to the appointment of new
board of health, we went to that
city. After seeing the Governor
we returned by way of Baton
Rouge, to get a correct insight Of
affairs from the Auditor, which are
about as we state them in another
column.

Speaking Of Potatoes.

The editor of the CoLFAx CHRoN-
IcLE has q cousin over in Texas,
Judge N. A. Cravens, who also
edits newspaper, The Willis In
dex, in addition to his multifarious
judicial duties. He tells this little
story about potatoes, in his issue
of Nov. 10Th, from which it APP
pears that they can raise potatoes
in Texas almost as big as those
raised in Louisiana, viz:
Our agricultural friend, Lee A.
Daniel, sent us few days since
two mammoth sweet potatoes, each
of which measured % inches in
circumference. and was perfectly
formed. After eating three mealf
q day of of them during the pres
emit week, there is enough Of them
still on hand to feed the entire
family until December LIST. If yoy
have any potatoes that can bea1
this record, please don't write OF
tell Us about them, but send il
your samples and let rs inspec
them in person

The principal object of the pro-
posed constitutional convention is
to limit and restrict the suffrage.
1t presents the opportunity of elm
mating the negroes. But there

The newspaper gossip from
Washington announces that q large
number of fourth-class post mas
ters for Louisiana will be appoint
ed in a few days, in all more than
forty. Colfax and Montgomery
come under this head, and it is
barely possible that they may be
included in the number.

Double Onice-Holding.

A good deal Of controversy has
been provoked during the present
campaign, owing to persons offer
ing to run for the Office of delegate
to the Constitutional convention,
while they already hold Office to
the limit of the States constitution
al provisions. In discussing this
matter with a number Of the best
legal lights of the commonwealth
we find the concensus of opinion to
be that it is plainly contrary to
both the letter and the spirit of
the law for any man already hold
ing Office to be a member of thu
constitutional convention; that in
duction into the latter position ip-
so facto vacates the first Office.
The general idea prevails, that,
while member of the legislature
might risk his chances as a mems
Der of the constitutional conven-
ton, it is altogether hazardous for
other officials to take the risk. The
Legislature is the sole judge of the
qualifications of Its own members,
it is not hampered and restrained
by statutory provisions, and may
overlook and condone technical vi
olations of law by its members, es-
pecially if the member is a partisan
and stands in with the ruling ma.
jority. Other officials will have tc
deal with the Governor, who is
sworn to enforce statutory law, and
in the course of his executive adj
ministration he has to take cogni.
zance of open and direct violation
of constitutional provisions. 1t 9
clerk of the court, or a district at
torney, or some other officer ovel
whom he exercises executive con-
troll, is found usurping unwarrant
ed functions and attempting t.
hold two Offices, the Governor
should consider the first Office al
vacated and abandoned, and is jus
titled in filling the vacancy by ap
pointment. In such case the part,
30 ousted and superseded could no
regain his Office, except by process
of law, and it is extremely doubtful
if any law could be found to rein
Estate him after such action.

The Pops are having hard time
to keep enough men in line to run
on their ticket for delegates at
large to the constitutional conven-
ton. Only last week their execu-
tive committee met at Alexandria
to refill ten or twelve places made
vacant by the refusal of Jno. M.
Parker and others refusing to al
low their names to be used, and
now this week here comes A. T.
Wimberly and orders the Secretary
of State not to print his name on
the ticket. Thus the mongrel tick
ct will have to go to the voters
with "a instead of 36 names. We
notice the Demands has had MOTH
ing to cay about the trouble the
combine is having to keep their
rotten affairs together, although
Bro. Dunn, it's editor, went to AL
exandrla to try and patch the thing
up. The ticket, as it was fixed up
by H. L. Brian, ]. E. Dunn, and
other prominent dickerers, at Alex
andria last week, consisted of nine
teen Republicans of the Herwig-
Demas negro wing, and seventeen
Pops and renegade Democrats of
the sorehead persuasion. Since
Wimberly and Money. are to be
left off the ticket it stands Is nigs
to Is alleged Pops. and this is the
mess the leaders in Grant parish
are asking their duped followers
to vote fora bob-tailed ticket OF
81 instead of 36.

1--WE renew and emphasize the
pledges of the Democratic party
for the preservation of all person
al and civil rights, freedom of

the equality of all men before the

the record of our party written in
the history of Louisiana. For more
than twenty years the history of
the State of Louisiana and of the
Democratic party have been one
and indivisible. During all these
years the Democratic H4tfy alone
has preserved for as all Of freedom
and civilization that have been
saved from the wreck and ruin
wrought by the twin Republican
demons Of unconstitutional recon-
struction and negro suffrage.
"Much remains to be done to
fully restore our liberties and I'm
ally eradicate the evil effects of
the political crimes committed
against Louisiana by the Republi-
can party during the starless night
