Mary 80, Flanders name having been
withdrawn. The third ballot decided
the matter, Kellogg receiving 147, orr
one more than was necessary TO
choice, Billings receiving lob, while
Mary tailed but 30. After the furore
produced by this result had somewhat
subsidized, the nomination OF Kellogg
was made unanimous, and the Custom
House employees looked relieved and
felt more secure in their nice little
positions under the federal authority
than they had a few moments before.
C. C. Antoine, State Senator from
Caddo parish, and small black man,
was unanimously nominated for Lieu
tenant Governor, for the simple rea-
son of his color, for he possesses no
pre-eminent qualifications that fit him
for the office.
After two ballots, Geo. Z. Bovee,
the recent incumbent of the position,
was nominated for Secretary of State,
receiving the regular Custom-House
quota of 147 votes. Mr.. Bovee, how
ever, subsequently declined the NOM
ination, and O. G. Blandin, colored
man. was nominated in his stead.
Col. James Lewis, also colored
man. and Administrator of Police in
New Orleans, was nominated for Con-
gresham at large, after which the
Convention, OF mob, adjourned until
Monday morning.
Mondays session was noisy like the
rest, but more business was transac-
ted than usual. Charles Clinton, OF
New Orleans, was nominated for Aud
itor of Public Accounts; A. P. Field,
also of New Orleans, for Attorney
General; C. w. Heating, of Caddo,
for Superintendent of Public Educa-
ton.
The nominations being now COM
pleted, the mob adjourned sine die
and next day scarce Vestige of the
disgraceful Convention remained te
pollute the beautiful little city Of
Baton Rouge. At least half of tho
delegates had left for their homes OF
Saturday, and consequently Mondays
Convention was largely made up o
altcrnates and self-constituted Tor, IA
Their, Packard constituted) proxies.

met together and re-nominated j. H
Sypher for Congress c. B. Darral
