thusiastic meeting of this club Of the sec !
ond ward at their wigwam, corner Of De-
lord and CarondeIet streets.
After some routine business the president
Mr.. H. A. Buchanan, introduced to. the
club Percy Roberts, Esq, who entertained
those present, including a numbered gentle
men Of the Democratic party, with most
eloquent and argumentatiye address the
object Of which was to urge the necessity
of a combination of the Liberals and Dem
ocrats and Reformers upon a common
ticket az essential to the defeat OF the heI-
logg ticket in this State.
As Mr.. Roberts speech is to be published
in full, we will not attempt to do 10 justice
in mere analysis. Suffice it to say that lt
was a most elaborate and rational eXpo5i-
+IoD Of the genesis and exegesis Of the
political situation in Louisiana, as viewed
from his standpoint as a Democrat, and
was well received, especially considering
the fact that it was addressed to an au-
dience composed mainly of gentlemen of
fferent political inclinations from the dis
tinguishcd speaker.
Mr. Roberts addressed himself emphatic
ally to the reason rather than theimpulses
of his audience, and as consequence
effectually won their attention, and was
frequently greeted with rapturous applause
especially where be paid glowing tribute
to the head Of the Liberal ticket, Colonel
Penn, after paying an equally warm tribute
to Colonel McEnery.
After Mr.. Roberts concluded, Colonel II.
II. Walsh was called on and responded in
brief but pointed and spirited address,
which was also received with hearty ap-
pIause after which the following resoIu-
tions were unanimously adopted by the
club
