Another meeting of Republicans was
held in the third ward last Saturday, at
which Mr.. @. s. Breaud was nominated for
Justice of the Peace and the selection of a
candidate for Constable referred to COM
mittee of fifteen, composed of five repre-
ssntatives of each of the three aspirants,
Messrs. James Holmes, Raphael Lewis and
Spencer FL. Tasker. The committee has
not yet settled the matter it has in charge.
Mr.. Wash. Mitchell has Withdrawn from
the field as candidate for Justice and is
now favoring the election of Mr.. Corbo.
As forshadowed in the CHIEF last week,
two Republican meetings for the nomina-
ton of ward candidates were held in DON
jacksonville Saturday evening, the 22nd
inst, one at Blue Bucket Hall and one at
the Courthouse. The adherents of the
Butler faction gathered at the first named
place, and after nominating Mr.. Sain tville
Aubrey as candidate for Constable on the
ticket with Mr.. Dennis Butler for Justice
of the Peace, resolved themselves into !
ratification meeting. Speeches were made
by Hon. Pierre Landry and several others,
and resolutions ENDORSING the Republican
State, district and parochial nominees were
adopted with only one dissenting voice.
The meeting at the Courthouse was CON-
posed of the supporters of the Martinez
faction. Judge II. O. Maher acted as chair
man of this meeting and Messrs. Frank Mar
tinez and James McCray were nominated for
Justice of the Peace and Constable without
opposition. No speeches were made, but
the st. Joseph Band was in attendance and
furnished an excellent substitute for chin
music. We are requested to correct the
statement that Mr.. VIM. Beckett received
the nomination for Constable at st. Peter
school-room the evening of the 18th inst.
There was misunderstanding relative to
the matter and it was agreed to defer the
nomination until last Saturday. In the
meantime Mr.. Beckett withdrew in Mr..
Aubrey's favor and the latter was made
the nominee.
None of the wards ON the other side of
the river have nominated candidates for
Justices of the Peace and ConstabIes. The
selections will be made at the meetings
called for Saturday next, the 9Th of April,
by the campaign managing committee.
Posters giving notice of these meetings
have been printed for every ward in the
parish and are being properly distributed
and displayed.
