ment, and elected the following ticket:

Ex Governor r. c. Wicklife will lead
the delegation, he having received the
largest number of votes at the nominating
of the most prominent before -the-war poll
ticians from this State now living. He was
elected in 1855, and continued prominently
before the public up to the war. in which,
however, he took no active part, and since
that time has taken no part in politics He
thinks the Southern delegates should 60 to
the national convention determined to sup
port the best man put forward by the North
and West, without claiming any share them
selves and voting with the majority. He
privately inclines to Tilden for first choice,
with a leaning toward Bayard for second.
Hon. Thomas C. Manning, of Rapides,
thinks the delegates should go without bias
in favor of any one; inclines first for Bay
ard; second, Tilden; third, Hendricks or
Hancock.
Hon. K. H. Mari, of Orleans, says all
delegates from the South must go with a
determination to support the man offered
by the majority from the North and West.
First choice, Tilden; second, Hendricks:
third, Thurman.
Hon. E. E. Kidd, of Jackson. Mr.. Kidd
was elected as one of the leaders of the
compromise in this State, in order that if
the measure was mOoted in the national
convention he might explain the position
of the Legislature on that measure. First
choice, Bayard; second, Tilden; third, Hen
bricks.
John Tobin and st. Martin, of the first
district, have no choice, though they will
vote for Tllden if brought before the con-
ventiOn.
Hon John j. Mellon is strong supporter
of Bayard for first choice, Tilden second.
James Mcconnell expresses himself as
determined to vote for the strongest man
put before the convention. Either Tilden
or Bayard would suit him, but he thinks it
would be better if some man now unheard
of was put forward.
Hon. F. S. Goode, of the third district,
and Brent, bis colleague, incline to Tilden
for first choice, with Bayard or Hendricks
second.
Hon. James Jeffries, of the fourth dis
trict, is for Bsyard for first choice, Tilden
second.
Hon. John C. Moncure, Tilden first choice,
Hendricks second.
Hon. H. c. Mitchell, of the fifth district,
is for Hendricks first choice, Thurman sec-
Ond.
Colonel j. B. Corkem is for Hendricks
first choice, Thurman second.
Hon. w. II. Pipes, of the sixth district.
Bavard first choice, Tilden second.
Henry L. Garland, of st. Landry, Bayard
first, Tilden second.
