AT mass meeting of the democracy
Of Calcnsieu parish, held at the Couri
House Of said parish, in the town d
Lake Chal les, on this 18th day of August,
1850. on motion Hon. VIM. Vincent
was called to preside. and Allen Gilley,
Esq, to act as secretary.
| The chairman, in brief and pertinent
remarks, stated the object of the meet
ing to be, consideration of the action
OF the late convention at New Orleans,
in nominating candidate for Congress
from the Third Congressional District.
On motion, the following committee
was appointed 10 draft suitable resolu-
tions, expressive of the voice and senti-
ments of the democracy If Calcasieu
parish, relative to the action Of said late
convention In making said nomination,
and the present duty of the demo-
cracy of the Third Congressional Dis
trict, In order to insure harmonious and
united action IN the approaching elec-
tion: Hon. VIM. Vincent, ex-officio
chairman; Hon. James p. Geary, Judge
q. A. Fournet. #. A. Gallaugher, Esq !,
Alien Gilley, Esq, Capt. ]. w. Bryan.
After recess of half an hour the COM
mittee reported the following resolu-
tions
Whereas, The late Congressional con-
yention of Third Congressional District
which met in the city.of New Orleans
on the 18th day of April last, and nom
mated the Hon. John s. Billiu, of La
fourche, for Congress, was irregularly
constituted. owing TO the fact that o
majority of parishes had no accredited
delegates to the convention; and
Whereas, The action of said conven-
ton has given rise to great dissatisfac-
ton throughout the district, owing to
the fact that it was irregularly consti-
tuted.
Resolved, That we are of opinion
that the action of said convention should
be regarded as ON absolute nnllity. and
we deem it of vital interest to the de-
nocratic party that new convention
be called.
Resolved, That Hon. Chas. A. Brusle,
Chairman Of the Executive COMMITTEES,
be requested to call convention at as
early day as possible.
Resolved, That whilst we do not re-
eognize any right or authority on the
part OF the new Executive Committee,
appointed on the 18th day of April,
1880, yet, should they decide to Issue a
call for q convention for the Third Con-
gressional District, we would deem it
advisable, for the sake of harmony that
both calls should fix the same date and
place of meeting. provided, the place
fixed be not out OF the Third Congress
sional District.
Resolved, That the Hon. John s.
Biiliu is hereby requested to waive all
claims to said nomination and submit
his name to q new convention, properly
constituted
Resolved, That, TO the candidate
thus regularly chosen, the solid demo-
Icraey of Calcasieu parish (which has
never been known to fail in its fealty
TO the party nominees) will give its
cheerful and unqualified support.
