The members of the Tenth Ward Work

izing to work in favor Of Greeley and Brown
during the coming campaign,
Shortly after eight o'clock the Chanti-
cleer Club, preceded by brass band, en-
tered the wigwam.

Thomas Mclaughlin, Colonel Collins was
unanimously elected temporary president,
and as temporary secretary the same com.
pliment was paid to Mr.. Nicholas Phelan.
Mr.. Matthew Small announced himself
as an oat-and-out Democrat, and as such
he addressed the meeting. He explained
that the object of this meeting was to reor.

plause.
MEETING
nation of the united State ticket by the
Hon. D. G. Elliott, member of the Demo
cratic. State Central Committee. He re-
ferred to the Democratic conventions held
at the National Theatre and Opera House,
which, he said, had the intention of nomi-
mating a straight-out Democratic State
ticket, but after a conference with
the Reform party, which was constituted of
gentlemen who-had formerly acted faithfully
with the Democrats, it was determined to
withdraw the names of several of the.
straight-out Democrats, and substitute some
of the Reformers, and form ticket which
they thought would meet the appreciation
of both parties. In reviewing the proceed
ings of the Baltimore convention in accept
ing the Cincinnati platform and nominating
Greeley and Brown, he said the Democratic
party had not in the least lost its identity
or its old desire of purifying the State gov.
anything like sufficiency of the Liberal
party in the field to redeem the State from
is present corruption, consequently the
Democratic party was the only party they
could look forward to with hope OF freeing
their necks from their present yoke.
Colonel John D. McEnery followed in a
lengthy speech in which he upheld the
action of the Democratic party in their
support of Greeley and Brown, although
they did not do SO at all in conjunction
with the Liberal party, which he denounced
in severe terms. Referring to the State
ticket, he advised them one and all to up
hold that put forward by the Democratic
party; if they did not they could look for
ward to four years further rule under car
Il nd MI nd
the case the responsibility would be upon
their own shoulders. The Democratic con
vention, he said, has proposed to uphold the
nomination of Greeley and Brown long be-
fore the meeting of the Baltimore cOnven-
ton. If they thought the united State
ticket sufficient to free them from the Op-
pressive rule they were at present under,
he would advise them to stand by it one
and all. He (Mr. McEnery) laughed to
scorn the idea that the Democratic party
should have thought of forming any ALI
ance, directly or indirectly, with the Gus
tomhOuse or Grant party. The report
which had gone forth was calumnious and
slanderous, and he hoped they, one and all,
would support Greeley and Brown.
Mr. Jonas, after being loudly called for,
spoke with huency; defended the Demo-
ocatic party against the ISLANDERS of its
enemies as to its being sold out to any
party, especially to Grant The mOngrel
ticket of Grant and Wilson, at Philadel-
phia, was, he said, followed IN this State
with that of Kellogg and Antoine, which
was backed by as many colors as that pos
sessed By a Dolly Warden.
After a few remarks from Mr. Wagga-
man, the president read the following resO-
lutions, which were adopted:
Res05Ued, That now, as in the past, we
recognize the Democratic party as the only
organization offering to all people anu all
classes of the people equal and cOnstitu-
ti0nal rights.
Res0lued, That in the nomination of Hor-
ace Greeley and B. Gratz Brown for Presi-
dent and Vice President, the grand old
Democratic party has given one more evil
denee of its unselfish devotion to the prin-
eiples Of honesty and constitutional gov
ernment
ResoIged, That the action of the State
Central Committee of the Democratic party
of the State of Louisiana, in inviting the
the Democratic and Reform parties, meets
our hearty appreciation. -.
Res0lred, That as Democrats we cordially
ratify the nomination of Greeley and Brown
for President and Vice President, of Col
onel MeEnery and B. 4. Jonas for Governor
and Lieutenant Governor, and of the other
nominees on the State ticket, and will give
them an undivided and enthusiastic sup
port.
The meeting then adjourned until Tues
day evening next, when the club will meet
| for permanent organization.
