NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. S.-The
anti-lottery state convention adjourned
shortly after noon to-day and the dele
gates came to New Orleans on the l
O'Clock train. They seemed very en-
thusiastIo over the convention and de-
clared that it was even more successful
than they expected, and il has aroused
an enthusiasm and squirt on the lottery
question which will carry the state. The
convention consisted of $50 delegates,
being the largest ever held in the state,
and one of the strongest in point of rep
resentation. Fifty-three parishes had
delegations present. Those unrepre-
sented were too far away from the rail-
roads TO send delegates. The convention
fraterniZed and joined hands with the
Farmers Alliance. 1t was resolved to
make an active, vigorous campaign for
the next two years 10 hold from day to
day meetings and conventions, to stump
every district III the state and to bring
the matter squarely before every voter.
An invitation was extended TO the lottery
faction to discuss the lottery amend
ment at every meeting from the same
stump. 1t was resolved to boycott all
lottery papers in New Orleans, and TO
establish morning daily in that city.
An address will be drawn up for the peo-
pie of the state and another for the peo-
pie of the United States who were called
on to give the anti-lottery cause
THEIR AID AND ASSISTANCE.

in the mail and calling upon con-
gress to pass the act prohibiting the
use of the mails or express by lottery
companies was voted down, the conven-
ton taking the position that this act
would be of but little benefit as the lot
terry company would easily find way of
getting around it. On the other hand
congress was asked to pass a constitu-
tioual amendment prohibiting any state
from chartering lottery company and
submit it 10 the state legislatures
for approval. This it was
claimed would be far more effective than
closing the mail to the lottery. The con-
vention declared its allegiance to the
Democratic party. An executive COM
mittee of twenty-one, with ex-United
States District Attorney Charles Par
LANCE as chairman, was appointed with
power to organize auxiliary committees
to decide upon the conduct OF the cam
paign. The ommIttee organized, but
has not yet finished its work. 1t will re-
port in favor of a two years campaign.
The lottery faction is organizing and O
long and exciting campaign will begin at
once to be reported up until April, 1892,
when the people will vote as to the lot
terry amendment.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Aug. 8.-After
all the instructions in his favor and the
withdrawal of numerous opponents, it
now appears that the road of Hon.
George C. Pendleton to the lieutenant
governorship is not to be devoid of
thorns. The Ell Paso delegation, to-
gether with those from other Western
counties, aggregating thirty-one votes,
announced a determination to-day to
urge the nomination of Hon. Oscar
Bergstrom OF this city for lieutenant
governor. 1t is pointed out by those
gentlemen that the Democratic conven-
ton next week should make some con-
and anti-commission sentiment in the
party throughout the state, and
they propose to bring Mr.. Berg
strom forward as the embodiment
of this sentiment. Mr.. Bergstrom rep
resented this county in the state legisla-
ture several terms, is a lawyer of marked
ability, being associate counsel with ex-
Congressman Epson for the Southern Pa
citio railroad, and is president of the San
Antonio brewery It is not believed that
he would accept the nomination if ten
dered him.
