To the Editor of the Lafayette Gazette:
read your editorial last Satur

think you spoke correctly and
wisely. The people of this parish
would make big mistake by de
feating Sheriff Broussard. The
cause of law and order, as you said,
would receive setback. No Off

done his duty better than has Sheriff
Broussard. l am no politician and

home and a family to project l
wish to be heard on this question.
Sheriff Broussard has been in
Office some ten or twelve years and
during that time has he failed to do
his duty? Not once. Has he a,
any time refused to protect the ma
iesty Of the law? Not once. Has

that he sympathized with lawless.

One of the strongest reasons ad-

zHINGS POLITICAL.

The convention which will meet
in Baton Rouge on Dec. 20, will
the Democratic State
ticket to be voted for in April. So
far four gentlemen seem to be as
pirants for gubernatorial honors.
Judge Lawrason and Gov. Snyder
have announced their candidates.
and it is whispered around that
CONGRESSMAN Broussard will soon
make known his desire to serve the
people Of Louisiana as their chief
magistrate. 1t is announced that
Elk Congressman Ogden has en-
tered the race with the eight votes
of Bossier as starter.
The parishes which have elected
delegates to the convention have,
with few exceptions, RETAINED from
expressing any preference. West
Fellciana and Lafourche have in
structed for Judge Lawrason while
Tensas, Gov. Snyder's home parish,
has endorsed the candidacy of its
favorite son. One factio' in ST.
Martin has endorsed the candidacy
of Congressman Broussard with
Judge Lawrason as it's second
choice No doubt the four can
didates will develop considerable
strength in due time. 1t is limited,
with some reason too, that the vic
torious Democracy of New Orleans
may come forward with a dark
horse. New Orleans has not had a
governor since the lamented Wiltz
was Louisiana's chief executive anC
it is not improbable that in it:
present state of political intoxica
ton caused by its recent brilliant
victory it may ask for the larges
slice of the cake which is to be di
vlded among the faithful at Bato'
Rouge next month.
No one can tell who will recciv
the nomination for governor. Gov
Foster will, from all accounts, d.
what the Irish man wanted the Al
mighty to do in the bear episode
The different candidates are friend
of the governor and it is hardl
to be expected that he wi
give his powerful influence to an
particular candidate The write
has read letter written b
one of gubernatorial aspiran
stating that the governor hs
given positive assurances that h
will keep hands off. That is VI
questionably The proper course fe
Gov. Foster to follow. In doing :
he will be pursuing the wisest polio
and treating his friends with VI,
form fairness. 1t will be a hgl
among Democrats and it would
unfair for the administration to u
its influence to further the intere
of anyone.
1t is the earnest wish of goo
Democrats that the Baton Roui
convention nominate tick
whose character will disarm
opposition to it. There is plen
of excellent material to select fro
and there will DE no reason for
failure to choose good men.

The finest thing about the establish

it and constructed q car of rosewood.

brought all their women friends to look
at the car Nothing like it had ever
been seen in Queens county.
Having got the $4,000 elevator, the
supervisors decided that they needed a
man to match it. The proper thing,
they thought, would be a pink silk man,

creased the bearings and wants to see

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
4 Man Blown to Atoms in the Copper
Queen.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon
Bisbee was thrown into a fever of ex-
element by the report that an ak
plosion had taken place on the "B"
level of the Helbrook shaft of the Cop
per Queen workings and several min
ers killed.
An Orb reporter Immediately visited
the scene and learned the following
particulars: Shortly before o'clock
Charles Anshutz left his partner, John
Hughe, and started for a drift in
which box of powder was stored for
the use of the miners working in that
vicinity. He had been gone but a few
moments when a terrific explosion took
place, vigorously shaking that section
of the mine. Miners Immediately rushed
to the scene Of the blast and We're hor-
rified to find the drift on all sides COW
cred with blood and flesh, but not a
piece large enough to identify anyone
by. All the miners in the drift were
Immediately summoned, and AnshutZ
was the only one missing. AS to how
the powder was set off no one will ever
know, but it must have been done by a
conclusion of some sort. A coroner's
jury was Immediately summoned and
left for the scene of the accident.
The deceased was about 43 years of
age and leaves a wife and two small
children to mourn his loss.

COLONEL wATTERsoN's VISION

AS in a dream or vision our esteemed
old friend. Colonel Henry Watterson.
sees brighter days ahead for the de-
nlocracy. Things are bad at present.
Feud and faction and mistaken policies
have brought the party to what the
Courier-Jourral conresses is indeed "a
low condition" But there is always
the future. Turning his prophetic eyes
from Organism, which he detests, and
from Goebel and Goebelism, which he
abhors like the honorable soul he Is,
Colonel Watterson finds temporary so
lace in these imaginings:
May there not be a better day com
ing, when We shall stand on higher
ground. broader ground: when fixed
principles, not fimsy expedients, shall
rule; and when the historic democracy
true to the illustrious traditions OF
Jefferson. who gave US an empire; true
TO the progressive instincts of Jackson,
who gave US another-will adapt itself
to the expanding policy of the nation,
wrestling it from the incompetent hands
that are now toying with it; to lead 1t
on to renewed fame and power and
glory?"
There is patriotism in this eloquent
passage, but there is pathOs. too. While
Colonel Watterson is dreaming and
hoping the present active and respon-
sible leaders OF the historic democracy
do not seem to be making much prog
ress in the direction of return to the
illustrious traditions of jefferson and
jackson concerning the question of ma
tional eXpansion.-New York Sun.
