Yet on lMarch loth, at the so-called mass mecting a bran new set of dele gates were appointed to attend the D)istrict ('onvention at D)elta. Why they .houtld appoint delegates at 1all to attenda Conventi n cralled 1,y the D)enmeratic Parish Executive I Co'mmnnittee, wheti they have per si-tently refused to acknowled(l e that Comnnittee, is an inconsisten cy they have never attelmpted to explain. The actions of the Luas-(randell party are, however, inexplicable, and can only be recorded without explanation. The Democratic District ticket is before you and it was nominated properly and legal ly, and if you have any objections to it now is the time to state them. The Lucas-('randell party, of course, object to it on general prin ciples. They have a ticket of their own, and naturally object to any other. btt their objections need not !be consildered, for that reason. Does the Democratic party of Mad ison parish object to it. If they to the columns of the TImEs are Iopen to the statement of .;uch oc jection. Do not, however, borrow any of your reasons from the Lucas Crand, palrty. Use your own judgnmnt andl not the ideas of a set of men who are opposed to everything that they cannot run to suit their own interests.. Demo.ratie Executive Committee. At a full meeting of the Parish Democratic Executive Committee, held March 17, 1884, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted: Whereas, It has been thle cus toni of the l)emocratice Executive Coniuuittee of the parish of Madi oIn (with a single exception) to, ,nominate parish officers, call mass meetings and to perform such other actionslts may he, in their judgment, for the best interests o.f the party, and( as will unite the strength*of the 1)emocratic voters; And whereas, This result can not now be accomplished, in con sequence of the aetion of about seventy-five Democrats who, in a tmiss nmeting held at Tallulah, *March 1i4ti, nominated a par - ish ticket, and also an Exeecu Stive (ormitt, thereby severing their 'onnectl with the legally constituted authorities, elected at a mass meeting held at Tallulah, Sovemiber 15, 1883; SAnd wrhereas, The object in - Inaming a parish ticket either by imas meeting or I; the Executive ('oomnittee, which object is to con " centrate the entire lower and re Ssources of the larty on ope ticket, g ha. been rendered impossible by lthe action of these seventy-five r Therefore le it resolved by the Democratic Executive Co(n'nittec e of the parish of Madison, That we a dem it inexpedient to place in Snomination any ticket, leav.ing it to the peopeito decide bhy their Svotes who of the various carndi date. they luefer for the parochial g lsolved, That the influ en ce ri tihanJemmittee will be ex. elled in behalf of the Democratic party, and without partiality to SwarM (by Democ tic candid ates.

It is a imatter of regret that It, we arc comilelled to revert to the ki unfortunate contest made by a ,or minc,rity of the Democratic lparty o, to deplrive a majority of its just : representation by attempting to ut reprcesent the ,parish in the Baton Rouge Convention. However hon- st4 est those gentlemen may have been si in this effort, it is an undeniable as fact that their clains were passed in upon ,by the ('onvention, the high- 'r est triunal of the party in this l State, and not allowe:l. It was li holed by your ('onImuittee that this lý dlccision would he accepted as final, I; anud in course of time a proper re- 1I Scognition of the rights of the prop- ai er representatives duly acknowl- s edd. To acoompllish tlis pur- w pose it was at every meeting the w unanimous opinion of your Com- e. inittee that no action alould be tr taken towards calling a lmass meet- a ing to nominate 'a ticket, or for the ; Committee to do so until the pas- ii sion and prejudice of the lour had 1 passed away and reason hlbd re-as- e serted its sway. ith tllis object a in view we have waited until there tl was Iarely enough time to name It theo istrict ofticeers audlet them t make their can:vass. It was the1 design of your Comnlnittee in call- 11 ing the Convention, to let it cone is off Icbfore any parish ticket was c placed in the field, in order that if I lany division existed it tiie ranks of I the party the issue might be made t in the District ('onvettion, and a positive understanding arrived at as to whether the minority would r accept their defeat, or make still r ffurther efforts to defteat the wishes c of the majority of the D)emocratic !party expressed in the muass meet ing, held on the 15th of November, 1 uthorizing the appointment of f twelve delegates to the Baton t Rouge Convention, which delegates 2 .ere also to attepd the D)istrict Convention. The seating of the delegates at Baton Rtouge under " this resolution naturally settled ( the right of this delgcation to at- , tend the District Convention. Not withstanding this fact a meeting of about seventy-five individuals was held on the 1lth inst., comlosed almost entirely of the old minority 1 faction, and an attempt to revolu tionize your wishes as expressed in the largest mass meeting ever held in the parish of Madison. In short this minority, representing less than one-third of the white Demo cratic voters, in a nieeting assem bled without a call from your Ex .ecutive Comnuuittee, appointedl a new set of idelegatces to the Dl)is Strict Convention, appointed a new SExecutive Committee, and with a Spublished notice of less than three rdays, nominated a parish ticket. SWe ask all true Democrats to p-use, ; and ask if such proCuedings are in accordance with their ideas of Democratic principles. In behalf of the best interests of the )Demo , cratic party of this parish we re pudiate such proceedings aud leave - the people to ;udge of the indiscre Stion of those who have precipitated this movement which has resulted , in the organization of a section of the Democracy separate and apart Sfrom the recognized majority. This action precludes the possibili . ty of errting the full strength and - resources of the party to elect any , ticket that might be nominatedl Y either by the people in mass meet Sing or your Commnittee. The waste e of water now spread(l over our par c ish and thle constant watchfulness e needed to hold our levees during i the crisis of the impending flood, r will not permit a full attendance at i- a mass meeting and thereby pre l vent a true texplressiou of the popl ,r wish, and we are, therefore, Sforced to announce a free race as c the only solution of the existing - difficulties. Your Committee has . taken this step with profound re e gret, but with a factionoftlhe party Sorganized in oppoiition to your le Sgallytolstituted authorities no bet I- ter course could be devised, than r- to let the people themselves de cide by their votes who they pre. fer for the tieveral parish officers to be elected by popular vote. Withl this brief statement we submit th. matter to the Democratic iparty i and trust our earnest eflorts to pro r mote the e~et interest the lpajy tmay meet with the appe it do. serves. GEO. T.

A man:tch was t airranield blet seltn ,-orakielhi and wi 'Edwiun Ilibby siue. timue , ac- , cording to lEn'ilih rule-. Sra- i kih.i did not know any of the locks ti hr hohl.', and i liby threw him g o',"r his head with ease. Ti: Jap 1 was tossced three times in seven ulin- Ih uites. ti When the men jumped upon the' h stage, to-night they were enthu- n `iasti'aIlly alplaulded. Bibby was. as round andl rosy as a baby. He moved quickly andl was all smiles. The .JaIp mil:ed too. Ii. high- 'l I checked. alond-eyed face looked like that of a J.lap):ine loll sudd en lv endowed with litf. There was nothinig presluunlptuous in his smile. It was child-like and serene. Thisi air of perfect satisfaction ,lever de .serted him thurtuglh the night. No i wonder. At the very outllet there wasa insunderst :anuing. The Jap - could not lundertand. PI',, Whit- • taker, the nmauter of cerelimonies, advancedl to the front of the stage and said: "('lentlemnen, we are try ing an expericenlt. 'I am sorry to I say that the distinguished foreign er onl lv right caliniot understand a word I say, Ibut lie shlouldl never- i theless receive the fairest show in the world. The men are to wres tle in a way that is new to all of;us. The rule for to-night is that if at: y part of a main, except his feet and ( hands, touch the floor it shall be! 1 considtlred a fall. An elbow or a 1 knee, or a shoulder touching earth is a falul, remnenlmber." Then he re treated andn called ''time." TThe men sprang from their chairs into the middle of the stage. They I moved like cats. The Japanese rose to his full height, str'tched out his arms, clinched his fingers, bent over backwar'ld and roared with the mighty roar of an angry bull. Then he dropped his head f forward as though his neck was broken :nd screeched like a fren zied owl. Th'' muscles stpod out t all over his body in huge rolls and L bunches, and the sinews of his neck and arms were like w'ip cords. The muscles played up and - down under his shiny skin. Bibb-" - stood with his ! cgs well apart and f his hands outstretched, watching a the Jap with amazement. Then t the Oriental stamped his bare feet r like pile-drivers, rubbed his hands on tie floor and without an in a stant's hesitation saiot headfore most at his rival. IIe went for t ward as though shot from -a cata `pult. His head caught Bibby on - the shoulder and the Englishman - was knocked Westward. lie fairly - flew through the air, coning up a heavily against the ropes. If the - ropes had not been around tile ring SBibLh would have gone out of the window and over towards Fourth Savenue. As it was hie hung on to the ropes, while the Jap junillped Sinto the middle of the stage and / waved his hands victoriously. f Then hlie turned toward his seat, f when Bibby, who had recovered - himnself, sprang forlld and seized - thie Jap from llehind. e The Jap had evidently consider - ed the bout 'ended and was about ch to sit down when caught by Bibby. d He hung fast to the post which ran ,f up from the corner of the stage t and looked appealingly at the *judges. During a tremendous up -roar the judges forced Jibby to d drop his hold. The Englishman Y was very angry and would have tI broken Sorakichi's back if he could t- have done it. Sorakichi evidently e considered his hutting Bibby into - the ropes as a well constittited fall. ss The spectators yelled wildly. No one could be heard above the , uproar until Edward Plummer, a at well-known sporting man, ascend e- ed to the stage and addressed the c- crowd. "Gentlemen," he said, ', "let us have fair Idy. That aS hout was won by Matsada Sora. Rg kiehi. [Storm of'hisses.] In Ja as pan men wrestle on a round plat e- form nine feet in diameter. T'his p platform is on four posts, at a con e- sideral+ e height from &he floor. t- The two wrestlers ascend to thi: a platform and begin the matlch. II I- one of them kgeks the other ofi 'c- the platform he wins the bout. I to wish also to correct the rule aboul th elbows and knees. That is aol I1 right. If the hiands touch the fleo ty it is a fall. Don't forget this. Eyes a finger touching theloor makes - *i fall." Ic" Upon this Sorakiehi, who seeem ea to divine wht iagoing eimnLL and Illustrsdte - .-. s.his "tthi mam.hc a .~-'U has a store on Broadway, came for ward and explained matters to I .orakichli. The .LJpanese then an nouncied that they must adhere to the rule, that a fall upon the hands, c.vinstituted a regular fall. Half an hour was wastedT in protesting and wrangling, and then the men facedt one :,nother again, after agreeing U. to consider the first fall off. They) were both very much in earnest. Once more the Jap shot forward, but lil,bv was rea:dy for hium. The Eznglishman lowered his head, and the two athletes came together like Sgoats. Both recoiled. Then before Biblv could pull himself together the .lap1 dashed forward again. Bibh he, hracd himself for another but ti'ng match, but instead of butting him Borakichi seized the English. nman bh the back of the head and hr a tterrific effort yanked him for 'ard. Bibby, taken entirely un awares, shot head first to the floor, falling on his face and stomach. The J ap still snmiled. After being slonged off again the men flew forward like bantam ruos ters. Once more Bibby was pulled forward but he saved himself from a fall by catching the ropes. There was a struggle which made the men glisten with sweat, and once more hlhby went to earth as though hit by a pile-driver. The Jap grinned. At this point the men who had waged their money on Bibby grew .ultV that the crowd could be kept in order. The match was for the best three falls out of five and two had already been decided- Things S ºbegan to look blue for Bibby's b ackers. The Englishman himself was in anything but an amicable mood,. lie still wore his stereo typed smile, but he was as angry a man as could be found in INew 1 York. The Japanese was now giggling. ( The referrer oslled time, andi they sprang. forward. The Jap once more tried to butt, but Hibby a blood was up, and lie was ready for him. As the Jap camue at him ithe Engli.hman lowered his head and dashed ahead. He got lower - than his antagonist, and butted himn partly on the face and partly on the chest. He loosened the Sap's teeth, set the blood flowing from the nose and made him puat for breath. The Jap butted-ag.n, ibut once more Bibby got in on him. The cheering in favor of the plucky' I little Englishman was deafening. Then Sorakichi gathered himself d together and dashed forward aain. Bibby acted as though hle had eea caught in a cyclone. He was knocked half way through the t ropes,. :.d before he could gather himself together was yanked for ward once more end sent sprawling on the floor. He didn't know what P had struck him. The Jap roared d with delight, danced around the stage and then joined his friends. d Bibby still looked confused. g Vicksbuar Adverttaementa. It FULTON M.
