NEW ORLEANS , December 21 , The
Picayune's Baton llougo special says :
The committee on resolutions submitted
majority and minority reports. Among
ho resolutions of the minority is ono
declaring _ that the Louisann State
Lottery is corrupting the morals
of the people , and u disturb
ng element in the politics of the state ,
md favoring the adoption of a constitu-
ional amendment abolishing and prohib-
ting lotteries * in the state forever. Beater -
or otl'orcdn substitute which was adopted ,
declaring hostili'y to the entire principal
of lollory dealing. The constitution
loclares gambling to , bo a vice , yet en
courages that vice in its worst form , not
mly inciting to broach of faith and om-
w./.lomont in efforts to got lich on the
urn of Awheel , but demoralizing society ,
: orrupting politics and impeding legis-
ationaml wo demand that the legislature
0 bo chosen nt the ensuing election shall
jimct such legal measures as nro necessary
or thoiraupprossion. The platform adopt-
) d refora to the deplorable condition of
ho state under reconstruction ; congratu-
ates the people upon 'tho present pros-
tority under the procrcssivo policy of n
lomocratio administration ; that the pub
ic schools of the state demand the fostor-
ng euro of the government , and though

1 great deal more must be done to render
ho public schools effective so aa to confer
ho bonofita of education equally upon
hochildrcnof every race , and oppose mon
opolies of all kinds. ' After the adoption
if Boatner'a amendment given above ,
Marston of lied llivpr demanded an
opportunity to' offer other amendments.
L'ho demand being refused ho said ho
could not account for such a platform and
withdrew from the hall in disgust. The
najority report on the platform with
Joatnor's amendment was adopted by n
