New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-06-22

OF Governor WarmOth, and indOrsed Grant
The platform presented by the committee
on resolutions was adopted 1t consisted
OF the usual bosh, and was the product of
John Ray, to a great extent, and of Pack
ards institution for the remainder. 1t con-
demned Liberal Republicanism as a design
OF the enemy, and invited the other men,
0ers OF the party to vote the ticket.
S',b' Packard was appointed chairman of
the committee of eleven on conference, but
he declined, and Judge Morris Marks was
appointed in his place.
The sergeants-at-arms being electioneer-
ers, dissatisfaction was created in the an
pOintments OF Ingraham, which were all on
one side. Devezan was clamorous for
the eight-hOur system to be put in the
| platform. He voted against the adoption
| of the platform. The remainder of the con-
vention voted for it.
Communications from the Campbell con-
| vention were read in the midst of derision.
and, being referred. the convention ad-
! journed until seven in the evening.
Second Dispatch1
BATON ROUGE, June 81, 1872.
In the meantime consultation and eau
cussing commenced on the claims of guber.
material aspirants. Friends Of Kellogg
asserted that he was gaining from the place
to which he fell behind, while it was also
held that Flanders was out as a compro-
mise candidate as between Mary and Kel-
lOgg, while the Billings men were not so
confident Of success as his strength had
been diminished by combinations which
left him out.
The incubus upon all minds was the CON
ference question, and it was generally
settled that the two conventions would not
come together, as the conditions were pnr-
pOsely imposed by Packard to make the
split wider
When the convention met after recess the
eight hour plank, originating in the com
mune meeting of the third ward some time
ago. proved a fire brand, Devez4n, from
that ward, pushing things and getting into
apersonal alteration with Stamps, who op-
posed it. Train expected, by his advocacy
OF this eight hour plank, to produce a new
party for A. L. Tucker, of st. Mary, his
SNAANANUtO AOA CuDGAlubCuuouB VI
Education; and so nominations were STAYED
off, and a number of frivolous motions took
up the time.
More of the additional delegate business
also sprung up to gain votes for Kellogg.
Every time he falls behind the administra-
tion delegates, led by Packard, appear to
the rescue and more votes were added,
and the roll was so often scratched that all
calculations were upset Persons who
were elected by enormous maiOrities were
cast out and straw delegates put in their
places, as they had unfortunately pro-
nOunced their preference. Sella Martins
name was scratched ont surreptitiously 1t
turned out the greatest botch while tinker
ing on the question Of admission of dele
gates.
1t was discovered that the roll had been
changed every Fl cen minutes-names drop
ped and others bstituted-generally those
who lived in til" city, and who were en-
plOyed to represen- COncordia or some other
parish; all means being used to secure a big
vote for Kellogg. a talk of three hours
ended in a proposition to appoint a commit
tee Of three to investigate the roll.
Candidates are discOn sOlate here, as they
are at great expense for whisky and cigars
with which, Judging from the turbulence
the members seem to be principally fed
They accomplish nothing, securing one man
to-day to find he is elected tomorrow.
A big fight took place on the motion, by
the Billings and Mary men, to have com
mittee of three to investigate the roll, and
the motion to table was refused by I68 to
lOS It had been found out that the Gus
tomhouse men we're continually doctOred, |
and names changed in the Kellogg interest.
Rodriguez wanted to know who placed the
two names Of the delegates on the roll,
DeKlyne, the secretary, having told HIM
he did not put them on. DeKlyne retorted |
that he told him no such thing, but pre- |
varcated when faced by Rodriguez, and
said that he told him he did not put them /
on, and admitted that he did.
Rodriguez said the names were in the
handwriting Of Jim Ingraham, who being
the president, had no right to the roll. In
graham said be only made the names plain,
but he did not put them there. The house
was in an uproar, seeing that in this way
it was easy for the CustOmhouse quill
drivers TO elect anybody. The committee
was appointed.
An answer having arrived from the
Pinchback convention, in which that body
refused, by unanimous resolution, to accede
to any specific terms proposed, as they
were body of equal independence with the
Packard convention, Mr.. Ladd repudiated
and wiped his hands Of the
whole affair, as they had not repudiated
WaTmOth and indorsed Grant.
The sense Of the convention was to 90
into nominations after this compromise dog
was dead, but it was STAYED off by a motion
to adjourn, which was not carried An
other row took place on the subject of ad-
mitting McVean, who, it appears, was let
in by Heating as a delegate in the Kellogg
Postofice interest, one delegate saying that
# the roll was doctOred in that fashion
much more the voice of the people would
be defeated. The convention fell into a
mob and adjourned until tomorrow.
