Louisiana Republican STATE Convention
Stormy Tinre-A split.
New ORLEANS, May 9th The State Re
Dulsican Convention assembled .at Exposi-
.4oJi Hall. After roll call 163 delegates were
announced present, every parish in the State
being represented. Judge Dumont called the
Convention to order, and was named as tenn
porarY Chairman. Judge Beattie insisted.
amidst much confusion, that Demas, nomi-
mated by him, take the chair. Demas made
a rush for the stand, followed by
Beattie and Pinchback, bat was repulsed
by the Conventions Sergeant-at- Arms
Pinchbaclc and Beattie then called ON their
followers, and they left the hall with, it is
stated, Sc actual delegates, but larger num-
ber of outsiders. to organize another Conven-
ton. Committees on Organization and Res
olutions were appointed During their absence
General Jack Wharton. Colonel James loves
and ex-Chief Justice 'Iudeling-the latter a
Grant delegate, made speeches deprecating
and condemning the bolt, which they charac-
terized as foolish and harmful and insisting
on their remaining in the regular Convention.
The Committee on Permanent Organization
named Ex-Governor G.. g. Yarmouth as Pres
ident. On taking the chair the Governor
made an eloquent speech. He recapitulated
the efforts of himself and other Republican
leaders for entire harmony. The effort made
was rendered abortive in part by the senseless
bolt of some foolish men. He knew there
were Grant and Sherman delegates present,
and in accordance with the compromise agree
ment made there might be more. He should
insist on an equal representation of the dele
gates to Chicago for both. For himself,
Blaine man, ne stood by the "Plumed
knight" of Maine. The mention of both
Grant and Sherman occasioned applause, but
the mention of Blaine's name, under War
mouths influence, created enthusiasm.
The following delegates were elected
to Chicago: II. G. Warmoth, james Lewis,
T. Ludeling, A. S. Dumont, VIM ?. Kellogg,
Richard SHINES, z. a. Badger. Samuel
Wakefield, A. II. Leonard, Wm. Harper, j.
J. II, Burch, Jack Wharton, Don A. Pardee
The delegates to Chicago go uninstructed.
They are said to stand seven for Sherman,
seven for Grant, one for Blaine, and one
(Senator KeIlogg), preference not known.
The platform adopted atfirms that the Gov
ernment ought to exercise the right OF pro-
tecting the purity of the ballot; refers to
the achievements of the Republican party in
national affairs, and declares hearty and
unanimous support for the Chicago nominee.
An additional resolution was unanimously
adopted, reaffirming confidence in Senator
kellogg, and thanking him for the great
struggle he made in defense of our rights.
Adjourned.
