THE CONVENTION.
IN. o. New, Delta. L

IN. ~. new Delta.
The Democratic anti-lottery conven.
tion has met, transacted its business
and adjourned We assert, without
fear Of question or contradiction, that
it was the largest, finest and most thor
oughly representative convention that
ever sat in Louisiana. Nine hundred
and sixty-two earnest and determined
representatives OF the true sons Of Lou
isiana gathered in the hall SO lately
desecrated by an attempt to barter the
honor Of the State for money, and re-
consecrated that hall to the honest
purposes Of government by formula
ting q plan Of campaign to undo what
q treacherous and unfaithful Legisia-
ture had done. From the pire-clad
hills Of the north to the reed covered
marshes Of the gulf, from the oak
groves Of the Florida parishes to the
swamps OF the Sabine river came the
representatives Of an honest and al
most innumerable constituency, with
stern determination written upon their
faces and deep resolve implanted in
their hosoms that Louisiana should
not be sold the bond slave of mon
eyed alien.
The convention was composed Of
men from the walks OF life. The cap
italist and the day laborer sat side by
side; the professional man stood shoul-
der to shoulder with the mechanic;
the merchant touched elbow with the
farmer-ali met on the level of COM
mon ground, united by the tie of a
common purpose, Joined by O band Of
common brotherhood. They were
there forgetting all save that they
were sons Of Louisiana summoned to
the defense Of their mother State,
threatened with disgrace and .dishonor.
There was no contention for place, no
fight FOR precedence. No delegate was
there with an ak to grind, none with
ulterior purpose to suhserve. There
was none of the petty jealousy between
the different sections Of the State, so
often manifested at State conventions.
The matter Of location was not thought
Of, the only question asked was, "Who
is the best man for the work." And he
was selected regardless Of the parish
he lived in and in utter disregard of
any and every previous factional diff
ference. This convention viii stand
alone in the political history Of Lou
isiana as the convention without a roll
call.
The State Farmers Alliance, which
was in session, patriotically adjourned
in order that its members might unite
with the convention in its work Of de-
Tense against political slavery, moral
degradation, industrial paralysis and
financial ruin. The work Of the con-
vention was well done. The resolu-
tions announce the platform upon
which the champions Of Louisiana
propose to stand. The vile SANDER

Democratic party and proposed to
Econdnct their fight outside Of party
