The Issue Now Here.

Before another publication of the
Colfax Chronicle the issue as to who
are to be the nominees of the Demo-
cratic party will be decided. The
greatest interest in all the candidates
is centered in the Senatorial and
Gubernatorial aspirants. For Sena-
tor we have to chose between Murphy
j. Foster and 3. F. Jonas, and for
Governor we are to choose between
N. c. Blanchard and Leon Jas
tremski. As every one well knows,
this paper is for Foster and Blan-
chard in preference to the others
named. Our preference is based upon
the eminent fitness of these men as
compared to their opponents.
Senator Foster is an acknowledged
lender in State and National politics,
and to our mind his peer is not now
before the people. He is giant in
intellect and a diplomat by pro-
fession and practice. His career has
been remarkably successful and alto
gether honorable. The worst his
enemies can say about him is that he
is "boss.", When one stops to re-
feet that his control of men is based
solely on his power to sway them by
eloquence and argument, this charge
becomes purile and of no effect with
thoughtful men. In every way he is
entitled to the undivided and earnest
support of every Democrat.
Mr.. Blanchard is also higher in bis
grade for the governorship than is
his opponent, and therefore entitled
to decided preference by those citi-
zens who have the true interest of
Louisiana at heart. After all the
talk about General" Jastremski, it
is fact he was but young man in
the Confederate war and his title has
been won in piI.ing days OF peace
since those stirring times. Mr..
Blanchard il trained in the law md
rich in all the experience that will
make us splendid Governor and
guarantee her onward march to pros
perity. He has made his canvass on
a high plane that has won him thou
sands of friends. and all the vile
ISLANDERS and untruthful charges OF
his enemies have been met and re-
futed by the simple logic of facts.
These men, honorable and admira-
BILE in character, and brainy and
brave in the championing of their
views, are worthy Of the earnest and
loyal support o. every voter, and We
hope to see Grant parish cast, a big,
rousing vote for them.

An Old Campaign Cry.

The ancient cry against "bossism"
and "ring rule" is one that should
be looked upon with suspicion by the
people. 1t is the cry that is always
raised when no real issue, except the
issue between individual candidates,
is prominent. tits generally the pro-
test of the aspirant for the emolu-
nlents of bossism who has not yet
succeeded in effecting as strong an
organization as the other fellow.
Not infrequently the man who to-day
is bowling about boss rule becomes
tomorrow the boss who is hOwled
against. A little taste of Office gen.
orally takes the edge of the enthu-
siasm of the political reformer, and
the virtuous "outs" become the un-
regenerate "ins."
General Jastremski, whose long ex-
perience in Louisiana politics enti-
ties his opinions to weiehty consid-
alton, once said on this subject:
sFrOm the Arkansas line to the
Gulf the outs are raising the battle
cry of down with the ring,' for it
takes well with the masses, who never
compare the present with the past,
but are always ready to believe that
there's still room for more improve
ment.
1.-THE situation is almost unbear-
able, if We are to believe what some
say of it.
"Withal, We predict that when the
'ins' are succeeded by the virtuous
outs the masses will be no happier
than now."-Crowley Signal.
