state and Parrish Politics.

Although the Democratic pri-
mary election held on January %
resulted in the nomination of sew
eral standard-bearers, still there
are more, those who were not so
fortunate in landing the fret pri-
mary, to be voted upon.
In the State offices, candidates
for two Offices will have to run
over, viz: Auditor and Treasurer.
For Auditor, w. s. Frazee, Of ST.
Landry, and Martin Berhman, of
Orleans, are TO run.
For Treasurer, o. 3. Steele and
J. NJ. Smith, are to run.
AS for Auditor, there should be
no question as to the stand every
true and unprejudiced st. Lam
drian should take. He Is our Fra
zee, born right here in our parish,
reared right here, and he sprung to
his present eminence from right
here. We should all rally to him,
and show him that st. Landry ap-
preciates and is at all times will
ing to reward a son that has done
her nenor.
As to the traasurership, both
candidates are capable and deserv-
Ing gentlemen.
In local affairs, the contest for
Clerk is the most interesting. Both
Messrs. III. z. Estorge and Yves
Andrepont are striving hard to
reach the plum, with Andrepont
seemingly ahead. The Clarion IA
vors this young Democrat (Mr.
Andrepont) because we consider
that his services to the party in
the past, his unfiinching fealty to
the party in It's hours of trial, en-
titles him TO just reward. This
gallant young Creole has always
stood in the front ranks in every
fight where the Democratic party
and the supremacy or the white
race was at stake, and this is the
first time that he has asked an
office of remuneration. Well edu-
Gated, puntual, sober, attentive, he
would make an ideal clerk of Court
He is representative of one OF
the oldest and most influential
families in the parish, family
which, like himself, have always
been found on the firing line when
public veal demanded their ser.
vices. The Clarion heartily en-.
dorses Hon. Ives Andrepont fol
Clerk of Court.
The fight for representative IL
the Lower House of the Genera
Assembly has borrowed down to
Messrs. Jno. NJ. 0ge, Ezekiel Mixer,
Peyton II. Sandoz aud A. FL. Mou-
ton. The public will make no mis-.
take in choosing either or these
gentlemen.
The State primary is to take
place on February 33d.
The Parish Primary takes place
on next Saturday, February 18th.

COL. WRIGHT ADMITS
MAKING ELECTION BET
Voters of First Ward Are Startled by
Republican Candidates Admission.

Col. Wright made an open confess
sion that he had been INDUCING in the
sin of betting, at the First ward Re-
publican meeting Friday night, and his
offense was aggravated by the fact that
he had bet on himself and his expected
majority in the First ward.
A number of the good people of the
First who were for Wright because
they thought him honest and deter
mined to stop the evil of gambling at
cards were greatly surprised and
chagrined at the coloners confession,
and a dozen or more left the hall in
disgust at the duplicity of the candi-
date for mayor.
Il expect to carry the First ward by
1,500.' he said, but if the Republican
majority in the First is not at least
1000 1 will lose $40"
The First ward is the home of a
great many people who are affiliated
with the church and who look on bet
ting on an election as just as grievous
sin as gambling with cards. Their
faith in Col. Wright as a genuine re-
former received a sad jolt by his con-
fession that he had put up $40 on the
size of his majority in the First, and
they who left the hall did not hest
tate to express themselves when out
side the Salvation Army barracks,
where the meeting of Friday night was
held.

them to interpret their re-election as
an Endorsement of their extravagant
and profiigate scheme Of municipal ad-
mfnistration, just vote for them on
May 8. But don't squirm at the bit
terness of the pill afterwards You
are making your medicine, and If you
insist on taking it, don't make wry
face" he said, as he realized the hope
lessness of the fight that he and his
associates on the Republican ticket
have been making in st. Paul.
j. E. .Kjelberg presided at the meet
ing-f it can be dignifed with that
name-which was held in a little room
off grocery store in the Ninth ward.
The meeting was late in starting, for
there was scarcely anybody present
when the schedule time for opening
the final rally in the ward arrived. a
handful of voters, with a policeman for
company, and a bunch Of small boys
outside as spectators, formed the
crowd" and after Ross Clark had fill
ed the tiny room with his remarks,
Frank Arnold purveyed to the intel
lectual side of his hearers with dis
QUESTION on the duty of the taxpayers.
Then Col. Wright gave his frenzied
talk, in which he scolded the men be-
fore him, and "Sidp Reeves wound up
the affair. Herbert P. Keller was pres
ent, but was not invited to speak, and
DR.. Norton, Republican aldermanic
candidate in the Ninth ward, was call
ed upon, but he knew of a quiet place
were there was fully as large an au-
dience and one which could be read
lily entertained. The Republican ora
tors scattered to various kitchen meet
ingS when the Cortland street frost
had been dispelled.

SALTWATER

The annual meeting of the assessors
of the towns and villages in Washing
ton county was held yesterday in the
Office of County Auditor Browne, and
the assessment schedule was consider
ed from beginning to end. The gen
eral impression among the assessors
was that the values fixed by the state
board of equalization and state auditor
as basis to be followed were too low,
and the assessors will assess at a basis
of from so to so per cent of the actual
value of all property assessed. They
will begin work tomorrow and will re-
turn their books tt, the auditor early
in July.
The Western Gas and Investment
company, owners of the gas and cleo
trio light company in this city, con-
templates extensive Improvements at
the local plant the coming summer,
and George Mayer. of Chicago, the sec
rotary of the concern, is now in the
city looking over the properties from
Apple river to Saltwater. Mr.. Mayer
says that the company viii expend
large sums in undermining the local
plant.
The junior class of the Saltwater
high school gave its annual entertain
ment in the auditorium of the high
school on Friday and Saturday even
ings, and both performances were
largely attended. The entertainment
