The New Orleans Democrat., 1876-06-28
CONVENTION GOSSIP.
KELLOGG vs.. wARMoTn.

KELLOGG Fs. WARMOTH.
Kellogg and the whole Adnnistra-
ton are extremely hot on Warmoth,
and do not attempt to conceal their
vews about h1m in the least. They
mean war to the knife and will not give
up. II Warmoth be nominated they
will refuse to support him and look for
a third ticket in the field what sort Of
q ticket Is not said for which all their
influence aud patronage will be thrown.
Warmoth, Kellogg anticipates. will be
easily beaten by fifty thousand major
ity. His election would mean return
TO per cent taxes and new debt OF
twenty-five millions piled on the State.
GRANT VS.. wARNoTH.
He dares Warmoth to telegraph to
President Grant and ask for the latter $
conversation with him, Hahn, Packard
and Badger about him. He (Warmoth)
can get the news easily enough,
II he wants 1t, and more than enough.
Grant not only said he would not sup
port Warmoth, but that he could not
believe that any deeeut or honest man
could vote for him.
A-for the article in the National Re
publican, Kellogg believes that to have
been bought and paid for by Warlnoth,
as political capital for the campaign.
Under all circumstances the administra-
tiop quarrel with Warmoth will be
carried on to the death, and under no
circumstances can he be supported. His
nomination will split the party.
Cards and pamphlets were freely CIR
culated on the street abusing WarInQth:
Administration men, on the tail end OF
last nights drunk, were Grating against
the woes iunumerabie that his notnlna-
ton would bring to Louisiana and the
Radical party.
wAEMorH's HOPES.
The Warmoth men were quiet, made
no angry replies, laughed aud pointed
10 the rooms where the Committee on
Credentials were meeting. Their re-
ports will probably produce another
storm. There will be, of course, a ma
iority or Warmoth report, and g minor
ity or Administration report. The ques-
tion then arises In regard to contestants
voting on these reports. Packard has
majority OF the unconteSted seats, War
moth Of the contestants. The rules are
rather obscure and uncertain on this
subject. and much will depend on
Pinch's decision, ''and what that will
be, God only knows" cried a despond-
ent AdministratioDist.
Warmoth's nomination Is yet by no
means sure. The election OF Pinch yes
terday on test vote sent Warmoth
stock up several degrees. rs 1t was pc
lieved that Pinch was trying 20 carry

heavy load, and the Administrationists
proclaimed that il could not be done,
that several OF Pinch's men when 1t
came to voting for renegade would not
| have cheek enough to do 1t, but give In.

Rumors were afloat that his name

was leaning toward Warmoth.
AS it is now. Anderson and Warmotf
are the only two hopeful ones chances
about equal. Warmoth men are little
skeery about expressing their senti
ments.

chance OF Steele getting the office o
