well the anxious desire we have manifested
to harmonic the conservative elements of
Louisiana In the coming campaign. That
we appeal to them again, as their organize
ton claims to have originated solely for
healing influences in the State, that the ex-
ample of Baltimore may at least be partly
copied by them. That we ask this of them
more especially in view of the large con-
eessiOns we have offered to obtain their CO.
operation. That we strongly try again for
this cooperation, which unifies the votes of
this State, which we still pray for. on any
conservative platform not inconsistent with
that already announced by us. And if the
committees are unable to consider plat
form, we respectfully ask that the cOnven-
ton may be requested to enunciate their
principles of State policy, and assist US
thereby to proper cooperation.

FROM LIBERAL COMMITTEE TO DEMOCRATIC
COMMITTEE.
To Hon. R. C. Wickliffe:
SIR have the honor to announce that
your communication of this date has been
received, and that this committee will refer
it to the convention of the Liberal party.
The details of the entire correspondence
being read by Mr.. Burke, provoked an an
CRY and impetuous feeling on the part of
the house to go into nominations imme-
dlately. This originated from the defiant
and incorporating attitude of the Demo
cratic communications.
Mr.. Louis Bush-This closes the main pOr-
ton of the business referred; likewise this
last communication to the convention. The
evident intention of the conference was to
still further confer with the organization,
and it would unquestiOnably have done so
had we further time; our opinion is that
unless the breach is closed there is almost
a certainty we will fail.
A member-I move the majority report
be adopted
A memHgr-I move the majority and
minority reports be laid on the table, and
that we proceed to make nominations.
A MEMBER move for a recess.
Mr.. DavidsOn--In view of the mOmentOus
Importance of this matter, l think it de-
sirable a recess should be had. Cries Of
no..
Mr.. Beattie-It has been reported to me
that committee OF merchants has met and
agreed to demand that the committees
should come to some conclusion.
