New York, May 19 Tbe Sun says this morning : Official news of tbe fate of tbe Lanrada is momentarily expected was received yesterday by a prominent time this morning.

He showed how I the Republican patty had utterly tailed to make good its pledges made to tne peoole two years ago, both ia national and state affairs. He held np tbe record of Richmond Pearson in Congress, and showed tbe people bow be bad made promises to secure votes and then gone to Washington and allied himself with tbe Republican party by going into Its caucuses and voting for 1.

Mr. Crawford's arraignment of tbe last legislature was most scathing. He showed how it had violated every pledge made the people and disregarded every promise made in the campaign ot two years ago, He urged the people to rem- mber tbe promises made by the R-publicin party. and compare them wrb its perform' ances when placed in powi r, and tee if it was again entitled to their confidence or their votes. It was conceded bv evtrv one present that Mr. Crawford made one of the best efforts of his life, and that the Dcmc crattc party in Yaccev was never in better fighting trim than now. It looks as though Joseph S. Aiams would not only get all the Dem' cratic and Populist votes in this county, but very many Republicans a's.i.

The Lanrada expedition is considered by Cubans, as well as by the Spanish, to be the most important which baa sailed from this country to aid the patriots. It is now an open secret that the Spanish consul Baldasano sent a long despatch to Gen. Weyler when the expedi.ion sailed, in which he stated that it was formidable, and that he had been pre vented from detaining tbe steamer at New York by tbe fact that it was San day and he could not obtain a warrant.

A special in tbe Times D.-mocrat savs Mr. runner Has been the lion ot Baton Rouse today, and it is doubtful if any speech ever made here produced buch an effect."

In other words the deadlock would be broken quicker than it takes to write these lines and Mr, Fenner would be the next senator from Louisiana. But unfortunatclv Mr. Fen ner is not old enough to sscceed Mr Blancbard atd cannot be considered in the Senatorial race. It is rare tbat a young man wins success so sudden as tbat young t enner won here last mgbt Now and then a Grady wivh his eloquence bursts upon the public; but it is rarer still tbat a man comes forward to solve a complicated situation such at that which was presented here last night.

Senator Ftnner is a son ot Judge t-bas. B. Fenner, and is very well known in Asheviile, having spent a number of vears here. He is an exceedingly bright yonng man, and bis many friends here will be gratified to learn of his taking such a high place in Louisiana s affairs. CITY DIRECTORY. The Republican Club Moves Along the Even Tenor of Its War. The Republican c'ub meeting last even ing was not so eventful as tbe one of last Monday. President E. D. Carter was there and effectively exercised tbe same characteristic tranquilization pow ers with which he averted a riot at the Republican State convention. "Hesh was tbere, and assumed a meekness that ould nave done credit to a cooing dove, and no one thought of renewing hostilities. All shillelabs were concealed. and no threats of libel suits were beard The Democratic press was requested to make reports of the meeting only when invited to do so ! A resolution to this 1 fleet was discussed and carried without a dissenting voice. This resolu tion is, of course, tbe result of The Citi zen's report of the club's performance last Monday evening. Oa motion of H. A. Gudger a commit tee ol three was appointed to arrange for the ratification meeting to be held in tbe court bouse Thursday evening. Will Smathers, P. A. Cummings and Hunter Arnold form tbe committee. This meet ing is for tbe purpose of ratifying the re centlv nominated S'ate Republican ticket. Invitations were xtended to Geo. H Smathers and I. M. Mody, of Hay wood; W. H. Anderson ot Hendersor: I A. Hendricks cf Madison and Col. V. S Lusk to address tbe meetirg. H. A. Gudger and E. D. Carter spoke during toe evening. When President Carter was informed this afternoon that tbe ratification meet ing would cofcfli:t with the production of ' Esmeralda' in the A. L. I. armory at tbe court house Thursday evening, he said tbe meeting would probablv be post poned until next Monday evening. Tbe committee later decided to postoone to tbat date. questions to be settled by tbe conference have yet been discussed on the fl tor. Tbe great question of time limit, lay rep resentation, amusements, temperance, recognition oi the Methodist Christian Endeavor societies, foreign Episcopal residences, location of Epitcopal resi deuces in the United States, and many other equally important questions are yet to come up. Rev. Cbas. L. Stafford put the confer ence in a great uproar by moving that the election of bishops be indefinitely postponed. I am satisfied," be said, tbat we do not need these bishops, and the vote of tbe last few days looks as though tbe conferee? thought so to. Any 10 bishops in good health could at tend to all tbe work; and we have 14- besides two who have been declared non effective." Rev. Dr. Buckley said: "Are you sure that the remedy offered is good for the patient? What is our situation.' Three men have already had a mnj jrity of tbe votes cast, and one man came within 30 or 40 votes of being elected. To post pone this election would make this con ference and onr great church ridiculous in the eyes of tbe world In one ot tbe dioco;es of tbe Protestant Episcopal church tbev have taken 50 and 60 ballots, and then adjourned for six months to think over it, without an election. And yet the election of Methodist bishop carries with it more power than a dozen Protestant diocesan bishops. Tbe remedy is this: Let the voting go on until we elect a bishop or until it becomes plainly apparent tbat we cannot elect anybody." The convention took this view of it. and on tbe 16th billot Cbapla n O. C McCabe was elected bishop, and tben Earl Cranston was also elected bishop.
