NEW ORLEANS, December 81
The Picayune's Baton Rouge special
says: The Committee on Resolutions
submitted its majority and minority
reports. Among the resolutions Of
the minority is one declaring that the
Louisiana Lottery Company is cor
rupting the morals Of the people and
disturbing the element in the politics
Of the State, and iavOrs the adoption
OF constitutional amendment 10
abolish and prohibit lotteries in the
State forever. Bostney offered a
substitute, which was adopted, declar-
ing hotility to the entire principle Of
lottery dealings. The constitution
declares gambling to be a vice, yet
encourages that vice 10 its worst form,
not only melting to breaches Of faith
and embezzlement in its efforts to get
rich on a turn, but demoraliEing to
society, cOrruptiDg politics and imped-
ing legislation, and we demand that
the Legislature to be chosen. at the
ensuing election shall enact such legal
measures as are necessary for their
suppression.
The platform adopted refers to the
deplorable condition Of the State un-
der the reconstruction, and cougratuN
lates the people upon the present pros
porous condition under the progressive
policy Of the Democratic administra.
ton: that the public schools OF the
State demand the fostering care Of the
government, and though much has
been achieved for their promotion, a
great deal more must be done to rem
der the public schools more efficient
SO as to confer the benefits Of educa~
ton equally upon the children Of
every race who opposes monopolies Of
all kinds.
After the adoption of BOatney'l
amendment, given above, Marston de-
handed an opportunity to offer other
amendments. The demand being re-
fused, he said he would not accept
such a platform and withdrew from
the hall in disgust.
The majority report on the platform
with the Boatuey amendment, wai
adopted by a vote (mainly the Nc
Emery faction) of yeas 236, nays 81
blank 66. Acrimonious discussion
preceded the adoption of the plat
form.
Stoner, Of East Feliciana, attacked
the majority report. He commented
severely upon certain acts of the
Democratic administration, such al
the land grab, penitentiary lease, fee
paid lawyers employed by the State
etc.
Colonel Breaux and Major Burke
replied to Stoner. The former ex
planned his connection with the lane
cases before the United States Su
preme Court. The latter sought Il
vindicate McEnery's administration
against the charges.
The convention then adjourned sin

words seasoned with grace, by his
walk and conversation, his coming in

pointed to the Lamb Of God which
