sr. MtRY.
y --rurr where the efforts OF Congress
n-...9,~rns adherents had given
the Beaftie-Darran combination considerable
strength. the tide Of reaeton has set strongly in
and the Republicans who had been deceived
into giving countenaEce to the boiling move
ment are focking over to the support of the reg
ular nominee.
Probably the most important individual case
Of detection is that of Hon. NJ. s. Jackson, who
presided over the boiling convention that
placed Judge Beattie in the field. Mr.. Jackson
is said to have acknowledged the irregularity Of
the Beattie nomination. and since the recogni-
ton of the regular candidate by the State and
National committees has declared it his duty as
| Republican to fall in limo with his party and
help elect its nominee, Senator Kellogg. Mr.
Jackson is of the most popular colored MEN
in the district and his influence will go far to-
wards demoralizing the boilers in st. Mary and
| adjoining parishes.
Messrs. Lee Murphy, delegate, and T. M. Lee,
alternate delegate in the BeattieDarrall district
convention, have repudiated the bolt and de-
ciared themselves for the regular nominee.
The Morgan City Free Press, which supported
Judge Beattie for nomination up to the time the
district convention met refuses to follow him
outside the party lines, and is giving an earnest
support to Senator Kellogg.
Eleven Arthur and Kellogg clubs were organ
lied in st. Mary last week and the list is
increasing daily. Long before the day of cleo.
ton the Beattie bolt will have petered out
completely in this parish.
IBERIA.
The New Iberia Journal says that Iberia is
solid for Kellogg and will give him over 1000
majority. 1.-The few Beattie men in this parish
have vanished and no one is left to tell the tale
of Beatties political career"
Secretary Martii.et of the district committee
writes lis that g. the Beattie meetings at New
Iberia and Morgan City were signal failures
ST. MARTIN.
The boilers have no support whatever in st.
Martin and could not poll twenty-five Republi-
can votes there if the election was to take place
next week. The party, under the leadership Of
such men as Messrs Martinez, Detiege and
Washington, is absolutely solid for Senator
Kellogg.
MIR. Jerry Washington, who was placed On the
committee on address of the Beattie- DarrsH
boiling convention, writes from st. Martinsville
under dato of the 9Th inst, that his name was
used without his knowledge, authorization or
consent. Says MIR. Washington Il have always
been faithful and consistent Republican, and
neither myself, nor my friends, nor the Repub-
llcans Of st. Martin will follow boilers. We
will stand by and support the Hon. VIM. P. |
Kellogg, the regular Republican nominee"
TERREBoNNE.
State Senator Jordan Stewart, the biggest GIN |
and most influential supporter Judge Beatte
had in the district, has bowed to the decision of
the State and National committees and an
nouncei his adhesion to the cause of the
regular nominee Of TIE party.
Resolutions endorsing Senator Kellogg were,
adopted at the Beattie mas.-lneeting held at
Houma last Sunday. Speeches were made by
Messrs Green and Elliott for Beattie and Col.
Chas. Keetlng for the regular nominee. There
was large crowd present and the proportion
Of kel!ogg's supporters was two or three to one,
the affair was called and advertised az

y ACCESSION.
few more Beattie mass-ineetings like that
eld at the Market House last Sunday would
mock the bottom clear out of the boiling move
nent here. There was no enthusiasm of any
moment displayed in the meeting until Mr..
cry Sullivan, supporter Of Senator Kellogg
ook the stand to advocate the regular nomi-
zee CLAIMS to support; then 1t was soon made |
pparent that the sentiment of the assembly was {
decidedly u1ifayorable to Beattie's bolt
Kellogg campaign clubs are being organized i
Ii over the parish, and a series of ward and
eneral meetings is being arranged. We shall !
ubiish in next Saturdays issue a list of the
tub ot1icers elected up to that date. As the
progresses and it becomes clear to the
alnds Of Ascension Republicans that the pend
ag contest is not between Beattie and Kellogg.

Considerations have produced the split here,
