vertised, and its termination was no less mat

Encampment has now the means to liquidate a
debt of three hundred dollars and yet have sew
eral dollars left in the treasury. The footings
up from all departments show receipts amOunt-
Ing to five hundred aud fifteen dollars, which,
deducting all expenses. net in the neighborhnod
of four hundred and fifty dollars. The largest
amount realized was in the voting Of picture
to the handsomest lady in the room. The con-
test soon conferred on Mrs. I. Field and Miss
Alice Norton, when it became spirited, but Miss
Alice was declared victor by a score or so votes.
The picture was worth two hundred and sixty
five dollars, so the contestants said. or in their
enthusiasm for a worthy cause paid that sum.
T. L. Bond champloned Mrs. Field and l.. G..
Skanckc befriended Miss Norton. Between
them they paid twO-thirds the price Of the pie

forty dollars. 1t is now confidsutly expected
that these dignitaries of the land Office will

Declines the Honor o

Our genial friend, Major John W. Swords
finds it necessary to intimate to the Liberal
parish convention that he is not desirous
that his name be placed before it as can
didate for civif sheriff. Some of his partial
friends, who, by the way, are thanked for
their good wishes, have been urging the
claims of the major upon the convention,
with poor prospect Of success. cjs not
likely that any one who is or has been
prominently identified as a Republican Will
be offered any important place in the grand
rattle for spoils about to take place among
the parish Democracy. And as Mr.. Swords
is nor emulous of complimentary vote
under such circumstances, he asks his
friends to withdraw his name.

CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION.

The Conservative convention met las
evening in Turner Hall at six o'clock, Mr.
Archibald Mitchell in the chair.
The usual crowd present in the lobby.
A communication from the Reformerf
was read containing specification of the
platform and resolutions in relation to con
ference.
Received and referred to the conference
committee
The notification of the appointment by
the Independent Republicans OF confer.
ence committee, was read. A motion was
made to lay on the table.
This was amended by a motion that it be
received and referred to the conference
committee. 1t was finally referred.
Mr.. Joseph Collins, on behalf of the con-
ference committee, reported that meeting
would be held at seven o'clock and PROPOSE
tions received.
The Reform party communicated the fact
that they were unwilling to withdraw the
names of their candidates until it was seen
what kind of men it was proposed to sub
stitute IN their places, and also enclosed an
extract from their platform
The proposition received from the Lib
erals the committee were not authorized to
act upon, Mr. Collins said while it was the
opinion of the gentlemen that the Reform
ers' proposition could not be acted on at all.
He asked that the convention either extend
the powers or give further instructions to
the committee.
An appeal for cash was made by the
president, the parish committee being en-
tireIy out of funds.
A number of motions were made which
resulted in adjournment until ten o'clock
Friday, to await the action of the various
conference committees.
