These delegates being all from the
town of Donaldsonville, residents of
other portions of the ward exhibited
much dissatisfaction with the result As
q consequence of this feeling, a meeting
was held at Lacroix settlement, Sunday
afternoon, at which four of the dele
gates chosen the night before-Messrs.
Landry, Lefort, Dutfel and Bentley
were Endorsed, and three more elected

senger.
Complaints of irrcgularity and unfair
ness i'll the election Of delegates was
made by some persons present from the
lower Burnside and Tureaud places, and
it is said another meeting will be held to
choose q contesting delegation.
SIXTH WARD.
A largely attended meeting at Ashland
place selected the following delegates
Henry Hayman, Ned Hill, Moses Fortune,
Augustus Knight. We have not received
the list of club officers.
SEVENTH WARD.
We have no report of the meeting in
this ward, beyond the simple news that
the delegates are Autem Burnett and
Henry Kennedy.
EIGHTH WARD.
There being no representation from
this ward on the parish executive COM
mittee, the Republican voters received
no notification of the time fixed for elect
ing delegates. In consideration of these
circumstances, the president and secre-
tary of the parish committee designated
Albert Flatto and George Robertson a
special committee to call Il meeting and
supervise the election of two delegates.
AS the matter stands, hen, tl,ore is
but one contesting delegation, and that
only partial one from the fourth ward
There is a fair prospect, we believe, that
the dissatisfaction in this ward and the
fifth can be allayed before tho meeting
of the convention next Saturday, in
which event tho organization of the body
will be a quiet and harmonious affair
The business of the convention next
Saturday will be the selection of dele
gates to the State convention and the
reorganization OF the parish executive
committee.
