MASONIC HALL POLITICIANS.


and their friends, and those who felt a Gu.
rIoslty IN their proceedings.
Judge Kennedy, in calling the eonven-
ton to order, said-I, as provisional presi-
dent, now turn over to you this convention,
and it rests with you to make it blossom
for good. | now call on Mr.. j. u. Hill to
take the chair as temporary president.
Mr.. Hill can only return you my SIN
cere thanks. This is, as has often been
said IN our ward clubs. no time for speech
making. In the present condition OF affairs
VIC do not know what will happen on the
morrow. We are here to rule Tor the good
OF the State alone. We have to build up
everything from the foundation. Let cur
lines be divided only by morality.
Mr.. Robert Gribble was chosen as tempo
rary secretary.
A committee Of five was appointed on Gre
dentials. Messrs. J. g. Fleming, j. Aldige,
Samuel Mullen, b. r. FGEman and Moses
Greenwood were appointed by the chair.
The committee IN credentials was given
an hour TO make its report.
The noise n confusion which prevailed
in the hall, the heat and want of ventila-
ton, created considerable confusion before
the committee appeared to report.
The fact that a rumOred coalition was in
process of formation, added much to the in
Jerest of the occasion. Time passed; several
| paties were cheered as they entered the hall,
in solid mistake, but the noise cheered the re-
porters, who thought, at each outburst, their
delayed work was TO be commenced, and
consequently to be the sooner consummated.
The evening papers were being circulated
through the hall, and yet no committee re-
ported.

mittee reported as follows, through the

ried.
Somebody else from the sixth wards in
uuired whether the report was all correct.
He was incontinently closed up.
PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.
On motion of Mr.. James Todd. George
Williamson, was nominated as permanent
president.
Mr.. Carr, of Iberville, nominated Mr.. ].
D. Hill.
Mr.. Hill declined IN a short speech, in
which the words were well chosen, stating
that as the idea had gone abroad that the re-
form movement had only a head in the
city, he considered it proper to decline in
favor Of a country nominee.
Mr.. Williamson was unanimously elected
president.
Messrs. Hill. Of New Orleans, and Cap
tain Carr, Of Iberviue, were elected vice
presidents, and r. Gribble and A. w.
Stewart were chosen secretaries.
A motion to appoint q committee to con
fer with the conference committee OF the
Democratic Convention, brought the veneer
able Moses Greenwood to the floor. He
thought that it was selling out too soon.
