Proceedings OF the Liberal Conven'
tiOn.
In the Liberal Convention to-day the
first business disposed of was the ap-
pointment OF a conference committee
by the President. Mr.. J. D. Moore, of
Lafourche, offered the following:
Resolved That the Chairman Of each
and every committee created by this
Convention shall be selected by the re-
spective committees.
A motion to lay on the table was
carried by a vote Of Is to %.
A resolution to delegate the Presi-
dent to appoint sergeat.at-arms and as
many assistants as he may deem neces-
sary was carried.
Mr.. Delaney, Of Arnold, moved that
there be appointed a Committee on
Resolutions and Platform.
Mr.. Carr, Of Alberta, objected to inn
mediate action on the resolution, for the
reason that resolutions explanatory OF
the course of action or principles OF the
Convention might at this time hamper
the deliberations Of the committee OF
conference, now engaged in their i'm
portant work.
Mr.. Delaney withdrew his resolution
on motion OF member, and suggesting
that no business could be done until the
conference committee reported.
The Convention adjourned until 10
A. NJ. Wednesday.
Immediately after adjournment, it
being reported that j. Stella Martin
was present, loud and repeated calls
were made for a speech. He was in-
troduced to the Convention by the
President, after which he delivered
speech OF nearly an hour in length,
opening his remarks with review Of
the course of the Custom House party
towards the negroes OF this State,
showing how the colored men could not
stand up any longer under the imposi
ton, oppression and injustice that by
that party had been inflicted on them;
and coming to the question OF the affil:
istion OF the negroes with the Liberal
party, said that the Custom House
party we have tried and found wanting;
we can't any longer trust them-no, not
even if they we're come to us as angels
You are yet untried, but We are willing
to take our chances with you. He said
that the white man and the black must
live together in the State Of Louisiana;
then let US live in unity. Give us but
the assurance that we are to live in
harmony with you, and l know that we
OF this State may look forward to a
future glorious for the white man and
bright for the negro.
During Mr.. Martins speech he was
often and heartily applsuded, the en-
thusiasm occasionally being so great
that tbe speaker was compelled to wait
some time before continuing.
