MONROE. La. NOVEMBER Is, 1883.

Although no authentic report of the
result Of the Democratic Mass Meeting
held in Madison parish yesterday has
been received here, we have been re-
liabiy informed that solid McEnery
delegation was selected to attend the
State Convention at Baton Rouge and
that resolutions were adopted endors-
ing his administration. With this
good news, however, comes the bad
that the Ogden faction holted the
meeting. If this be a fact they were
undoubtedly in the minority for
majorities do not generally bolt con.
ventions and mass meetings, but on
the other hand, carry things their own
way.
During this whole campaign we
could never bring ourselves to believe
that the Democrats of Madison parish
would turn their hands against their
redeemer.
