TIE BANNER EXHIBITION AT THE MASONIC
HALL.-As we hso predicted, the great modidc a
| tioD in the weather very fsvorsbly anected the
| attendance at the great banner exhloiton last
| night. The rooms were very well nlled with
| persons who, prevented by the inclemency OF
| Thursday evening, were not slow to seize the
fIst opportunity afterwards to take another good
| long look at the banners, every one OF which Is
| connected to the people Of New Orleans with so
many memories. We were glad to notice quite a
| large proportion of ladies' present-the same
| ladies who during the campaign were go resdy
| on every occasion to express their sympathy with
our cause who never faltered Tor one moment 10 ?
| their fath-who never lost an opportunity 10 DID
| the Democracy Godspeed in the contest. The
same ladies' now came 10 look once more on those
banners and guidons and wreatbs which they had
consecrated in the making. Gentlemen, too, we're
there-men who had worked hard for four
| months for our candidates, who did all men
| could do TO secure the end, who when defeat
cane accepted it msnfuly and oheerfuly,
| srd simply prepared for the next tlme'
| These men came to glance again at the ban
ners 80 often borne aloit in their midst while the
contest was yet going on, over each Of which SO
many and SO confident predictions OF victory had
been uttered, each blazing with the great names
| Of Seymour and Blair; each with Thousand
| memories and "reminiscences wrapped up 10 It's
| every fold and shining in the CLEAN OF its every
thread. Who could lock at them without think
ing Of the past-the past OF only yesterday but
past with sll its issues and hopes snd fears dead
forever ard put away into sepu ohre' tue doors
| OF which, however, We sometimes, as last Dlgnt

corpse? Who can behold them without his pulse

But, bewdered by the ever.chsDging beauty o
the cene, we emitted many things well worthy
notice. promising, however, then to say somethinI
more when occasion came ; now, then, let u
finish the pleasant duty. We have already told o

of the Chandeliers, of the Seymour Knights; W

Infantes de Seymour, the Rousseau Guards an

will remember as turning out on horseback wit
star transpsrencies, making an almost endles
line. Then there is that Of the Jackson Railroa
