FIrzpArRIcK OusrED AND RING
RULE BUSTED.
The Democratic State Central
Committee met at the St. Charles
Hotel, New Orleans, last Monday,
and was called to order by Chair
man Fitzpatrick. 4 dispute arose
over the admission Of ar. Brown,
from twelfth ward of Orleans. Il
appears that the ward club elected
a successor to Mr.. Brown, who is a
State officer, and consequently is
compelled to spend most of his
time at Baton Rouge. The twelfth
ward club had elected Mr.. Great
house, staunch Ogden nan, to
succeed Mr.. Brown, bat the com
mittee decided that public officer
did not lose his residence while abb
sent on duty, and Mr.. Brown was
recognized as the rightful delegate
from the twelfth waIl. One black
eye for the rings and bosses. Gen.
Jastremski then moved that the
committee go into reorganization,
but Boss Fitzpatrick declared The
motion out of order. An appeal
from the decision of the chair was
taken, which resulted IN 81 yeas to
AZ nays. The chair declared the
motion lost, as the appeal had not
been sustained by a two thirds vote
The majority, however, were not to
be bulldczed in this manner, and
alter short and excited discussion
Senator J. 3. Eustis was nominated
and elected permanent chairman of
the committed, there being but two
votes in the negative. Another
black eye 70: the rings and bosses,
followed by the withdrawal from
the room of the ousted boss and .
members. The next day, however,
they all came back, and confirmed
the election Of Mr.. Eustis as chair
man. The rate of proportionment
was then fixed at one delegate for
every 200 Democratic votes, and
one delegate i'll addition for every
fraction Of over 100 Of such votes
polIed either for Gov. Wilt or
Gen. Hancock, taking the highest
vote as the basis Of representation.
It was decided, by vote of Il to
2S, that the State Nominating Con-
yention should lie held at Baton
Rouge, on the 18th of December,
next.
The prompt action of the State
Central Committee, in clect:ng Mr..
Eustis as its chairman, will doubt
less meet with the hearty approval
of all true Democrats, who recog-
nize IN him man who will preside
over the deliberations OF that body
with ability and fairness, and not
try to throttle the voice of the peo-
pie in the interest Of any Imam or
set of men. Mr.. Eustis is not
pledged to the support OF any man
Tor Governor, while Dir. Fitzpatrick
is an ardent supporter of Gen. Og-
den, and from the manner in which
