TIE CONVENTION,

The vast and magnificent Assembly Room
of st. Patrick's Hall was thronged with dele
gates and other citizens at an early hour o,
Wednesday. After the temporary organiza
ton, the recess for the examination of ere
dential5 afforded hundreds of Democrats al
opportunity Of greeting the true representa-
tives Of the people from the parishes While
with others, enjoying this pleasant re-
union, we noted with much grat'ica.
ton the superior material of which
the Convention is composed, represent,
ing fairly the intelligence, responsibility,
talents, interests and patriotism of the State.
1t was truly an assemblage Of the notables OF
the Commonwealth Of Louisiana, body as
able and honorable as any we have had the
pleasure of meeting during the past quarter
OF century.
The election Of President was narrowed to
q choice between two candidates, the Hon.
Duncan s. Cage, of Terrebonne, and the Hon.
J. G. Moncure, Of Caddo. Mr.. Gage has long
been known to public life, has often repre-
scented his parish or the Senatorial district
of which it formed part in the Cen
eral Assembly, and was the able
and esteemed Speaker Of the last true
white House of Representatives that Radical
tyranny has suffered to assemble. He is we'll
known throughout the State, and wherever
known he is honorsd as an amiable,
worthy and patriotic gentleman, and
IS thorough Democrat. Mr.. Moncure, q
younger man, less experienced ia public life,
u equally well known and Justly honored for
excellent qualities and capability. He is the
1ightful Treasurer of the State, having been
airly and indisputably elected as such by
arge majority, at an election whose fairness
IAN not be truthfully questioned. He was
chosen to that office because of his thorough
integrity and eminent capacity. He has
'een kept out of that Office by means as foul
md villainous as shameless knavery ever
to the depraved and fertile imagi-
nations of graceless rogues and vagsbonds.
Ills election over popular and worthy COM
'etitor, is proof that the people of Louisiana
AXE note of the wrong which he has suffered
nd which they have suffered, in part,
trough him. Under the cover Of Grants |
ayonets, villains robbed him of his Office /;
'ut they could not rob him of the admira-
ion, the love, and the confidence of the peo-
le of Louisiana.
Mr.. Moncure, in q very few minutes,
atisied US, and also, as we believe the
lembers Of the Convention in general,
nat he will prove again, as heretofore,
n excellent presiding officer. He is
ignifed, impartial, thoroughly self-pos-
sssed, clear-headed, prompt and vigorous.
4 brief, terse and impressive address,
very word of which was distinctly heard
,roughout the great Assembly Room, he
lade it very clear that he would be the unbi-
ssed President Of the whole Convention, and
iscard all favoritism, aiming at the preserva-
on of harmony and the promotion of that
lorough union without which success can
OF be hoped for. With President so capa-
lie, so eloquent, SO fair-minded, so honora-
le and SO patriotic, the Convention must be
ell pleased

DEATH OF MR.. HOLBROoK.

Late last evening q telegraphic dispatch
from BIadon Springs, Alabama. announced
the death at that place, on Monday, of ALvA
M. HoLBRooK, editor of the New Orleans
Pic1ylne. He spent considerable portion
of last summer in Canada and New England,
as was his custom almost every year, but
upon his return his friends were panied to
observe that his absence from laborious
duty and change of climate had failed to
produce the usual invigoratiug effects.
His slowly waning strength and failing
health induced him to 60, few weeks since,
to Bladon Springs, with the hope of being
benefited by the renowned mineral waters
and the wholesome atmosphere of that pleas
ant resort. He had hopes Of thereby recov-
ering his strength, but his intimate friends
have for some time believed his condition
very precarious. OF the particulars of his
last hours we have learned nothing except
that he was surrounded by friends and that
everything was done to prolong his life and to
make him comfortable that the best profess
sional advice could suggest. But in spite Of
all the care of devoted affection, with every
aid and appliance which could be used, his
hour came, death called, ana the places which
knew him "shall know him no more for
ever!"
ALvA MORRIS HoLBRooK was born in YER
mont, in Townshend, Windham county, in
the year 1908, and had completed his sixty
sixth year. At the age of twenty-seven, after
being variously occupied, he came to New Or
leans, and few years after he became men,
