New ORLEANS, September 2l.--The
conference committee that has been
holding daily sessions since Thursday
last, had their final interview this af-
ternoon. The object of the conference
was to arrange for a joint supervision
and control of the machinery of the
November election. Everything
apparently progressed satisfactorily
until the composition of the returning
board was reached. This board, which
is the key to the whole election scheme,
consists of five members elected by
the last senate. The law provides
that vacancies shall be filled by the re-
manning board. The McEneryites sup
posed that these vacancies would be
created, two of them to be filled by
them and the other to be filled 10y the
joint action of the parties, who should
select some gentleman of irreproacha-
BILE character without regard to his
party connections. This proposition
was positively declined by the republic
can committee, and the conference
committee finally adjourned without
result.
