The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1884-09-27


There is no truth in the statement being
circulated by the Democratic press that
the resolution indorsing Congressman
Kellogg, adopted by the Congressional
convention at Plaquemine, "met with
much opposition.n There was no oppo-
aItion Whatever to its adoption-not one
negative vote-and the reading Of the res
olufioh was greeted with applause. Neither
is It true that there was 2 d great deal OF
wrangfing in the convention On the
contrary, it was an exceptionally orderly
body. A disturbance seemed imminent
ct one time, caused by personal dispute
between'a couple Of Terrebonne delegates,
but order was restored almost Immediately.
Neither is true that 9 the contesting dele
gates Withdrew ,and went to another hall,
whore they organized Ia Second convention. -
All the contestants, with the possible ex-
ception of tive or three from Terrebenne,
were understood to'be favorable to Mr..
Kellogg's renomia afion, and they did not
participate in the Martinez Gay side-show,
which was very small affairr--a lament
able failure in every respect, excepting
upon Democratic paper. The little crowd
it did draw was only attracted and held to-
gether by the cohesive power of several
Kegs OF beer and the vigorous tootings of
4 brass band. z
