Second Special Dispatch.l
No COMPROMISE.
NEW ORLEANS, September 2l.-As was
Indicated by your correspondent, the
)esce conference between the McEnsry
'srty and Kellogg has ended in nothing.
| he conference Was called to arrange upon
ONE cornpfomse between the contending
actions, looking TO the especial feature of
citing the McEneryites in for an equal
ontr0l of the registration and eleotloa.
iroposiiion that each party should have
VI equal number Of supervisors was
greed to, but tho proportion by the con-
srVatyes that they should have two
members on tho returning board, was EN-.
'hatichlly rejected and so, after nearly a
'eok spent in backing and fling, the
ohfsrencs CLOSED tonight, leaving mat
era where they were before 1t began. 1t
well understood that the returning
oard has the power to manipulate the
lection returns as may suit thom, and the
Conservatives might, therefore, have com.
lete control Of the registration and yot.
ng, but the returning board having tho
iaking up Of the returns. can returns
. elected the worst defeated man on the
Icket.
Tbs situation, therefore, is precisely
'hat 1t was before tho revolution, savo in
great number Of country pari hes
mere heEnery officials are in possession.
