enue is derived from the business men
of Monroe sending to New Orleans
for their family supplies. Is this the

THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION.

The result Of the Senatorial COnven-
lion last Monday could not have been
otherwise than u sore disappointment
to the true friends of Senator r. L.
Gibson. There is no question that the
of the District favors Gibson
and Jonas and we believe that the
majority of the Convention favored
them, but by one Of those peculiar
political combinations E'past finding
out" some of the friends Of Gen. Gibson
allied themselves with the enemy and
got badly left. While we regret this
we are gratified that the outcome was
at least favorable to Senator Jonas.
AS we have stated we cannot corjec.
lure the motive that actuated the man
ayers OF Gen. Gibson, for uuques,ionas
biy they had it in their power to have
nominated two State Senators favor
able TO his candidacy.
Before the organization Of the Con-
vention Franklin with her 8 votes and
the 10 contesting delegates from Oaach-
ita were for Gibson "drst last and all
the time" and he had friends on both
the Richland and Caldwell delegations
strength sufficient to have given him
the two Senator's, but the bargain
seemed to have been that the contest
:rOn Ouachita should go and-wc are
tn hot fsrrt 1,ne ioo
were made. Suffice it to say the
Ouachita contest was prejudged and
doomed and ii was Withdrawn before
the Credentials Committee passed upon
it. Aside from this THE TELEGRAPH
has no further objections to offer. I.
is measnrabIy well pleased with the
| two gentlemen nominated. M. Boat
uer has been in the Senate before and
has done good work and he and THE
TELEGRAPH are partially together on
the Senatorial issue in that we are
both for Jonas. Mr.. Davis was can.
didate four years ago but was defeated
He has his record to make as a Iegis.
iator, which we believe, and trust, will
be good one. We shall give them
both our hearty support.
To our friends Of the anti-Rin9
movement in Ouschita we desire tc
sny that we are not at all apprehensive
of any huriful effects on account o.
this defeat before another con ventiop
Our position is the same that it has
always been-unassailable and unan.

The Child's Body Found.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. l5.-The
body of Irena Hawss, SECOND daughter of
Dick Halves, was found in the lake at
Lakeview this morning. The water had
been drained off until it was only a foot
or W deep. The child wore a small slip
half covering the body, aud a hemp cord
fastened to two heavy fish plates weigh
ing thirty pounds each. The babe was
found near the point where Mrs. Halves
BODY was discovered.
The find caused no excitement as the
people had expected for a week 1t would
be found near where the mothers body
vas discovered. When told that the
body of his other missing child had been
found, Halves had nothing to say except
to ask in an indifferent sort Of way where.
He then refused to answer any questions.
No trouble is expected to night, but the
guard at the Jail has been increased as a
matter of extra precaution.
