Wells, in the returning boaEd to-day,
declined hearing any protests or mo-
tions read. Col. Zschrie filed pro-
test agsins, this sudden modification
OF the rules so as to allow the admis-
sion, a. rebutting evidence, OF exparte
afRdavits in contested cases. He
claimed it was irregular and dis
elimination against the democrats.
The protcst was tabled without read
ing or action.
McGlown fled protest that the
tally sheets of East Baton Rouge
which had been ordered .elegraphed
for on Saturday, but which were not
telegraphed for on account OF lack Of
funds, be sent for now. and money for
the purpose was deposited by the
democrats. Through the ignorance Of
the commissioners Of election, the
documents we're sealed up in boxes.
This mistake will cause the throwing
out Of the ballot unless the tally sheets
are procured. There are democratic
majorities in this parish.
The board went into executive session
and examined Bienvillc, West Baton

AN INELIGIBLE xLEcToR.

Democrats are very much excited
by the discovery of the fact that one
Of the Tilden electors, VIM b,
Glenn, is ineligible. He is one Of
the commissioners appointed by
the southern claim committee TO take
testimony. This will give one repuh-
lican elector IN North Carolina.

CONTRADICTORY REPORTS

The Paris correspondent OF the

conference at Constantinople, says the
people even sffirms that the Marquis
Of Salisbury, the English plenapoten-
tiary though on principle opposed to
foreign occupatlon, has not an abso.
lutte predcterminalion even on that
point. He will discuss with unbiased

alarm the Porte nor excite the suspi-
cions Of any power.
The Times in leading article also
openly favors collective occupations.

secretary. After music by the cornet band
the president introduced In few well
chosen words, the speaker of the evening,
Col. Wheelock G. Veazey of Rutland, who
held the closest attention of his audience
for an hour and half, while he discussed
in fair and impartial manner the Issues of
the campaign. His speech was no TRADE
of abuse or slang directed at the democrats,
but speech Astounding in solid, incontro-
vertible arguments why Hayes and Wheel
err aud the republican party are more de-
serving of our trust than their opponents.
As an abstract of 1t has already appeared
in THE GLOBE, will not attempt one.
There was also grand republican rally
and flag raising last week Wednesday at
Mechanicsville that I have not seen re-
ported. A large and beautiful flag WIS
flung to the breeze at 6 o'clock p. m. amid
the cheers of large crowd of our citizens
and the soul stirring strains of the fred,
white and blue" by the Mt. Holly band.
Then followed short speechc, by A. w.
Cook and Col Aldace Walker of Rutland,
after which the assemblage adjourned TO
the church and speeches were made by
Mr.. Lawrence and Col. Walker, both Of
Rutland, to crowded house. Altogether
our town is thoroughly aroused and will
poll rousing vote for Fairbanks and
Proctor, and thus indirectly for Hayes and
Wheeler, on Tuesday next. ""

express thanks to the Tilden and Hendricks
club for their public request that all drink

Gay; and Furthermore express the hope
that al concerned in making the above re-
quest, may use their utmost personal inf1u-
ence to keep closed on that day, not only
front entrances, but the side and back
doors of every drinking place in our vii
lage; so that those disgraceful scenes
which have sometimes been enacted during
election, may not lie repeated. We leave
the honor of the Inauguration of genuine
temperance election day to that party who
have been the first to appeal for it, and
whose prime wat ,h-word is "Reform."
