THE REPUBLICAN PARISH CONvEN'
TION.

y
briskly at about 10 o'clock.
Stamps had provided himself with paper
punch as an improvement on the table leg,
and he brought it down smartly on the table,
and the Convention was declared in order.
The usual opening business, prayer included,
was gone through with. A communication
from John Calhoun was received, announcing
his ..#..a .......
ACCEPTANCE
of the nomination of Administrator Of Finance.
The committee appointed to wait on Felix
Labatut reported the acceptance OF that gen
tieman and that he had promised to send
communication.
Z. d. Hebert, on a question of privilege,
called attention to the article in the Picoyane
in reference to his affair with Kellogg on
Wednesday. He said the report was correct,
with the exception Of one statement, and that
was that he had shaken his fist IN keiioggs
face. There had been no shaking OF fists at all.
NOMINATIONS
were then declared in order, and the following
were rushed through:
L. j. HIGBY,
for Administrator of Public Accounts; only
nomination. BY reclamation.
F. E DUMAS,
for Administrator of Commerce; only nomlna-
ton. By reclamation.
H. BONZANO,
for Administrator of Assessments; only nomi-
nation. By acclamatiOn.
The intelligent members got the slate some
what mixed on the two first nominations. The
programme was Highly for Commerce, and
considered of much importance, as the two
gentlemen can easily "swap," and the little
change can be ratified by the Parish Com
mittee. For
ADMINISTRATOR OF WATER WORKS,
the following names were put IN nomination:
Michael Gernon, A. Sparacio, W. Il. Bell, and
Henry Ballard.
The first ballot resulted as follows: Gernon
50, Sparacio A, Bell l, Ballard 1. NO cleo

The names of Ballard and Bell were vir'
tually dropped on the second ballot, which

and
was announced as the nominee.
T. d. Hebert in the chair. The names OF
John Gartskamp, W. +. Loan and Peter
Joseph. were placed before the Convention as
candidates for
ADMINISTRATOR OF POLICE.
The first ballot resulted as follows: Cart
! skamp %, Loan 50, Joseph 20.
W. F. LOAN,
having received majority of votes, appear
before the people as the Republican nominee.
| This concluded the city administration.
! One very noticeable thing about the nomi-
nations was the fact that as soon as man
| went through committee was appointed to
call upon him and notify him of the fact, and
everybody wanted to be one of the committee.
Some people were mean enough to mention
that the gentlemen liked this committee bust
ness on account of the drinks, ETC., of which
| the members of the committee were the re-
cipients.
But, Of course, these persons were mistaken
The appointment of the committees was
merely an act Of courtesy.
Jack Swords, c. Ringgold and j. L. Herwlg
through their friends, announced themselves
as willing, for the sake of the people, to beal
the burdens that rest on the shoulders OF the
| CIVIL SHERIFF.
| The Convention could not divide the labOr
between the three, and in consequence Went
to work to select one.
The first vote stood: Herwig, IS; Ringgold
IA; Swords, 6.
was declared the choice of the Convention, i
not of the party.
A. S. Badger and JOS Boutte were put for
ward for
i CRIMINAL SHERIFF

merits of the two candidates, and then tn
roll was called with the following result /: Bad
ger A, Boutte 81, and the name OF
! JOS. BOUTTE
will appear as the ticket on election day to-
Criminal Sheriff.
The Convention, after the reception o
several resolutions, and ten words from Bout
as speech, adjourned until o'clock.
At o'clock tue delegates again rallied, AM
after Stamps had used his paper punche
beating his unotfending desk and raising
racket for about ten minutes with no perceptl
BILE result, the Convention was ready Tor bust
ness.
