Club, to which the present club adjourned.
THE MOTHER CLUB.
In the long ndlOw-roofed building where
the mother club was held, a large number
of the sovareigns were collected in an I'M
terrified crowd. The special sensation of
the evening was deferred. The motion be-
fore the house was the election of the clubs
apportionment of four delegates to the
Baton Rouge convention, and a crowd Of
sergeants-at arms, with badges of pink
cambria on, were collected around the pres
idential rostrum, and the usual multitude
of motions rose up on all sides. 1t was
finally adopted to take a recess of fifteen
minutes, that three commissioners of cleo
ton were to be appointed, and that this
might be consummated in proper fashion,
all ''parties in interest went outside in
another building.
The meeting outside was anything but
harmonious. Everybody talked on his own
hook, and bawled out his own candidate
with lusty lungs. Those on the inside some
times took a hand, and answered nay or yea,
interrupted by the president, Mr.. Devezan,
whose gavel constantly fell. The end of
the outside contest was announced by boot
ings and ceilings, and the crowd again
thronged inside the room, a disappointed
man saying;
There's too much of a row here; l want
to quit and go to fighting"
This appeared to be the determination of
more than was necessary fer the preserva-
ton of order.
A member-Mr. President, l believe the
time is up.
The president seemed to think so too, for
he called the meeting to order again, but it
wouldn't come.
A lot of indiscriminate motions were
made, and the chair got into a parliament
airy tangle in short order.
1t was announced that Messrs. Heating,
w. w. johnson and Briggs were elected
commissioners.
A motion to postpone was made until to-
morrow.
This was followed by a motion to lay on
the table.
The division being called for
A member-One-half those that vote are
not members of the club.
The president seemed to think this was
about the size of it.
"The thing was gagged through"
"He got his W pet IN"
"The election wasn't fair"
"NobOdy's elected"
Such cries rose from all sides.
Mr.. Ladd took the floor, and said the
election was fair.
The chair-Nothing before the house.
Out Of order. Read the commissioners
A MEMBER call for a second reading.
The chair-Well, you hush your mouth
and you'll hear it.
A crowd of members mixed with the ser
geants-at-arms, whose pink badges shOne
resplendent, all in the neighborhood of the
chair, who kept up a vOciferOus yelling, and
went largely into the business of p~Oint-Of-
ordering until it extended ike an eruption
over the whole assemblage. 1t ended in
some one moving to adjourn, and the
motion was carried, some one vainly calling
for the report of the committee on ora,
