epnErainlating the Convention upon the
choice II had made and making an eloquent
Infusion to The nominee, his tried Democracy,
and his labors for the party during the past
eleven years. Gem Ogden, he insisted, should
feel none of the stings OF defeat. He was
really not u candidate, aud had 80 announced.
The day would come when the State would
reward him for his services.
He appealed for harmony In the party II
New York was lost 10 the Democracy this
fall. II would be because OF the bolt Of Tam
many. He urged that this bad example
should not be followed In Louisiana, where we
would have II strong foe To contend witb
either iii the guise Of an Independent or
Greenbank party. composed mainly of the old
Republican party. Mr. Jonas closed by re-
view Of national politics, and paid u hand
some compliment to the Northern Democrats
for their firm friendship TO the South, and
their brave battle FOR FREQ elections and the
constitution. y
Hon II. John Ellis WAS the next speaker.
He alluded to his devotion to Gen. Ogdsn's
interests, and said he had no regrets to offer
for 1t. He should now that the nomination
was made. show equal devotion to tho t1omi-
nee, Gov. Wiltz. He did not believe the cam
pagn would be walk.over. The Republican
party would rise up under the magic OF
Grants name. 10 be successful the Demo-
cratic purity must close UP the ranks; unity
and harmony must prevail and the standard
Of the party be borne forward TO victory. He
then sketched briefly tbe.results OF the extra
session of Congress-.
Gen Nahdall l.. Gibson followed. He also
congratulated the Convention upon its selee-
tlon. He then alluded to the services OF Con,
Ogdenand his men In the early part OF 1877,
and said II was their firm attitude and knowl-
edge that they would fight to maintain what
they had gained that caused President drant
to refuse to recognized Packard. One name
had not been mentioned In the Convention
that was entitled to the greatest praise for
his patriotism, Hrmness and The skill with
which the delicate relations OF the State to
the general government had been managed at
that time. He ealluded to that MANNED hero,
Francis Z. Nichols. IApplause.l History
would do him Justice aud write his name
among the foremost sons OF the State. Gen.
Gibson then warmly. eomplimented Gov.
Wilt, and said he was the very man for the
present time: that he had no equal In the
State, and that his administration would be
30 ably conducted that 1t would rebuild the
prosperity Of Louisiana ind secure TO every
citizen the blessings OF civil and political
liberty. [ApplauseJ
Upon the conclusion OF Gen. Gibsor's re-
marks, the Convention adjourned until to-
morrow at 10 o'clock. Z.

Nix. ALDEN, tho New York Times hui
morist, appears on tho surface OF the
literary sea again just long enough to
say: "There is no part of the human
frame which is more unsatisfactory than
the liver. No boy over had any fun
with his liver, and no man ever found
his liver source of pleasure or II
means of improvement. The Turks, it
is true, believe that tho liver is the seat
Of the affections, and in their poetry
and love-letters express their ardent de-
sires to win the livers of desirable per-
sons of the opposite sex. This, how
ever, is one of the errors of the
Mohammodan faith. We know that
