where business matters kept me sev

to visit di fferent localities all alon

vote, which, of the three aspirants

OF the Hon. James Simon Now he
yond the interest which every good
citizen II this state has in the selec
tloh al competent and efficient officers
especially those who are destined IA
grace the bench, have no earthly
reason to feel highly contented at what
seems to me to he the quas-unanimous
support of James Simon bv the voters
OF his Parish. During my STAY in the
three main wards of st. Martin, of the
many business men whom | saw. Of
the many devoted and serious demo-
Gratis that l heard, and of the manv
old blocks of the party there, not one

Judge, Unless complete revolution
OF sentiment takes place, there is sure.
ly very little political work in that
parish for the gentleman.
Ii is not surprising, after all. that
James Simon should enjoy this really

he has been on the stump before he
