The Democrats publicly and pri- vately declare that they are going ta Inangurate Nicholls as Gosernor nezt Jaunuary any how, and that be will be Governor.

The ridiculouencss of the pre- tension docs mot scem to be fully appreciated here. It e not likely that Col. McEnery will press his Gubernstorial claims juet at present, nor do anything forther than act as a stepping-stone to glve color to the contest which the Democratic claimants intend {0 make.
