Tho Convention.


Up to the time We arc forced
to close this article, we have heard
nothing in respect to the action of |
tho State Nominating Convention.
Indeed the State Convention has
not met nor has the Committee
adjourned. Up TO this moment
the time has been taken up pretty
much by the conferences and eau
cuses Of both factions.
Enough however has been CLEAN
cd Of the actions Of the Adams
faction rc-cnforccd by an official
committee of the Farmer Ali
aacc, sent especially I" represent
that party in the coming contest,
TO demonstrate the correctness Of
the points taken in our article of
last week, and to show that the
| Adams faction went to Baton
| Rouge with the prcdctcrMination
TO bolt. Seeing upon arrival 1T
Baton Rouge that AlcEncry had
an overwhelming majority Of del
| cgates Il proposition WIS made by
them to the McEnery lcadcrs-an
impossible proposition-whlch no
sane man believed could or would
be accepted, it was simply paving
] . way to their own bolt. At this
writing no such bolt has actually
taken place, but we confess with
sorrow that such a,tinn IS reason
ably to be unprecedented from the
occurrences; that have already
transpiied. We trust we are MS
taken but Fear for the worst.
The responsibility of such an oc-
currcncc will clearly be placed
where 1t belongs, with the Anti
minority.
Since the above was written we
have received additional accounts
of what has transpircd in politi-
cal circles up to Wednesday even
ing. and the facts certainly fully
: clothc us with the reputation of $,
true prophet. not onty IN regard
to what Is stated above, bat PFC
