CUR STATE TICKET.

We place at the head OF our col
umns this week the State ticket as
framed by the late convention at
Baton Rouge. 1t is regarded by oil
Democrats throughout Louisiana as
good, clean ticket. All the men
on it are men of honest. straight
records, aud there can be made no
charges of corruption against any Of
them. The ticket as o whole com
mands the respect OF the eutire State,
and at the general election the
Democracy will roll up an overwhelm-
ing minority for it, should tue Re-
publican party put out a ticket.
Should the sugar sections, the j ack-
sonians, and dIsaffected Democrats
join forces and make common Issue
against the party, our energies should
be re-doubled and the Democracy
should poll the largest vote it has
ever polled.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Snyder has
magnanimously offered his services
to Sie State, and, il necessary, will
make speeches wherever he is called
TO do SO. There is nothing small
about Bob Snyder, and in his breast
defeat has left no ranking feelings
against his party. He is now, as be-
fore, as loyal to the Democracy as if
he were the peoples nominee.
As to Auditor Heard, be is a man
of an impeaehabls record. In his
present position he has made very
excellent official. As Governor, he
will be equally as conscientious in
the discharge of his duties, and will
make us a good Governor. Coming
from one Of the hill. parishes, he will
sweep that section so clean, that the
Populists will hardly have corpor-
ais guard left them. While there
was some disappointment here on the
river front over the failure of Lieu
tenant Governor Snyder securing the
nomination, that is past and the
party, as unit swears by Heard.
So in presenting the State ticket to
the Democracy of East Carroll, we
do so with the assurance that it will
meet with their hearty endorsement,
aud that at the general election they
will roll up the usual large Demo-
cratic vote.
