New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-02-02
NOMINATIONS,



We have heretofore briefly referred to a
" letter. document" or nomination "
addressed TO Judge j. G. Taliaferro, asking
him to " run " for the Office of governor +"
against the nominee of the Radical Repub-
liean party Of Louisiana.
We stated that the said letter, after being
circulated in the Constitutional COnven-
ton, was signed by fOnr members of that
body, and by nine or ten private citizens.
Nevertheless, there was an important omis-
sion in our notice of this interesting " doc
umeat." We failed to state that our old
friend Robert D. Stille, the Ancient of days,
had been dug out from the bones Of the past,
and had again--signed!
Justice TO Mr. o. Voinche, another of tie
signers requires us to state that his friends
urge in extenuation of his folly that he is
non coalpos nettis.
After full and careful investigation the
result is found to be that the nomination
is signed by four members of the conven-
ton, by seven private citizens, by Robert
3. Stille, by fool-, and by the man
who writes editorials for Exchange Alley.
There has not been, nor is it pretended
that there has been, any Endorsement what
ever of the folly of these "signers;' not
even by one Ward or Parish Club, or any
organization whatever representing, OF
claiming to represent, the Radical Repub-
lican Party or any other Party.
We have heard of approvals from the
Headquarters of the Democratic party at
ParlOr P, of the st. Charles Hotel. to which
we shall more definitely refer :" in due sea-
SON." Certainly, the commentator which
the folly Of our neighbor is receiving from
the Rebel press is very indicative.
The Rev. DR.. Daley, the known and
trusted friend and representative Of Andrew
johnson and his policy, and whose head
quarters are at the New Orleans Postofice,
is warm and earnest supporter of the
father of his immediate superior bat is not
known to have referred to the Iri6aneS
nominations when he delivered his political
Grafton at parlsr ? at the organization of
the Democratic party. In few days we
hope to report in full the eloquent speech
of the Reverend Docter-'on that interesting
occasion.
On the contrary, the A" Tribune nomina-
tons" have been repudiated with disgust
and ridioule by every Republican organi-
cation which has met since that absurd per-
fsrmance.
The Resolutions of the Central Executive
Committee can be found in the first column
of this page of our paper and since the
adjournment of the State Nominating Con-
vention our columns have been crowded
by similar Resolutions of Ward and Parish
Clubs, which the Ne,C Orleans Tribune has
refused to publish " for love or money"
Councils of the Loyal League, and Posts of
the Grand Army of the Republic of Louis
lana have taken similar action and in each
and every instance, OF Committees and
Clubs, and Councils and Posts, with de-
gree of enthusiasm and uRanimity which is
wonderful in the history Of politics and of
parties.
In the Radical Republican party of Lou
isiana there is no disqfection entitled to be
dignifed by the name. The sore heads .
are getting well, and the growing of the
foolish or The false can scarcely be heard.
As one man, with one heart, our party en-
hers the political contest.
