THE BASIS OF APP0RTI0NMENT.

The Picayune gives a Mr.. Ford,
who it seems is Recorder or Grim.
inal Magistrate in New Orleans, IS
authority for The statement that the
basis OF apportionment for the next
Democratic Convention had already
been selected, and that it was done
at the Convention of 1880. Why the
Pieayune should parade Mr.. Ford's
opinion of SO important matter in.
stead of looking in its own files and
finding there what was done, and
giving the public correct information
about it, is perhaps explaiuable on
the "bot weather" theory. We wish
very much that some New Orleans
newspaper, whose files contain the
resolutions fixing the basis would
publish the text so that all may know
what it is.
The rate Of representation has not
been changed at any time. 1t has al
ways been one delegate to every 200
Democratic votes, and an additional
delegate for every fraction over one
half that number. This has been
the uniform rate of representation,
which no one has eudeavored to al
ter. But the basis of representation
has been tempered with, and on oc.
casion has been selected to snit the
needs of faction. It was 90 done
at tie last Gubernatorial Convention
by taking as the basis the vote of
1876 instead Of the vote of 1878, and
it was done for a sinister purpose.
1t is not too early to inquire ii the
basis of representation for our next
Convention hss been authoritatively
selected. The Picayune's informs ant
says that the vote Of 1880 for Presi
Dental electors has been selected as
tue basis. Which elector7 There
were eight Presidential electors, aud
the vote was not the same for each
one. Will you take the vote for the
first one on the list2 The lists were
different, and were not all headed By
the same name.
Democrats who do not want the
Executive Committee to repeat the
fraud of the last Convention will be
glad to learn that the basis Of repre-
sen tation has been fixed by coupe.
tent authority, and if the vote OF
1880 for Presidential electors has
been selected, there can be no serious
objection except the uncertainty ari-
sing from the fact that the eight can.
didates for that Office did not get the
same vote.

OUR CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR.

As the time approaches for the as.
sembling Of the Democratic Conven.
ton, the minds Of men are beginning
to be directed to proper person to
carry our standard through cam
paign which promises to be as excl
ting as the issues to be decided are
important. The names of many OF
the most distinguished sons OF Lou
isiana have been mentioned in con-
uection with the Gubernatorial nom
ination, to any one of whom we
should be proud to lend our support.
We have, however, our preference,
and as the oldest Democratic journal
in the State, we deem it not inappro.
pirate to express it. Announcing
ourself, therefore, in advance as 10
favor Of the nominee Of the Conven
ton, we are of opinion, after care
ful survey Of the field, that our es-
teemed and respected fellow citizen,
the Hon. JAMES JEFFRIEs, combines
as many, if not more of the qualifi.
cations, and unites In his person
more of the elements of success, than
any of the many gentlemen whose
names have been put forward by
their friends for the nomination fol
the Governorship by the approach
ing Convention.
OF bis capacity to conduct the at
fairs of the Government, no one car
entertain doubt. His mind natu
rally OF solid structure, has been
carefully trained by education, ma
tured by thought, and stored with
such information as is needed by the
chief magistrate Of a great State
His integrity is of the highest
stamp. Mr.. JEFrRIEs' political opin
ions have been known to the people
of this State for many years.
No man need fear to lend him hi
support. No man need fear that .h'
equal rights Of all, no matter wha
may have been bis previous condi
tion or past party affiliations, would
be safe under his administration.
The people in the country Parishe'
believe that as New Orleans has boil
the Sen ators, it is but fair that tn,
country should be conceded tn,
! Governor.
, For these reasons We present thu
name Of JAMES JErFR1Es to day tt
the people for the nomination foI
the Governorship OF our State.
1t is highly gratifying for Us tt
know that his name is daily men
toned with great favor in ever,
Parish from which we have received
information. Hence we have ever,
reason to believe that the candidat.
OF our choice will receive the nomi

A Novel Breach Of Promise Deois-
don,

Chicago, March 27.-A remarkable
decision was rendered in the Court Of
Appeals to-day. Dora Apple had re-
covered a verdict of $1,000 against
Nathan A. Stone for breach of prom
Use. The defendants plea was that
the day fixed for the wedding was
"Yom Kippur," the Jewish feast of
the atonement that no Hebrew Rab-
bi would perform the marriage cere-
mony on that day and therefore the
promise was not binding. The jury
in the Lower Court rejected this plea
but the Appellate Court sustains it
saying in as many words that no good
Jew can be compelled to marry a CIR
on "Yom Kippur" whether he had
promised to do so or not.
