tor Of .Sisse, and while we have no inten
ton to disparage the merits of any Of the
Other gentlemen who will come before that
Convention for the same position, we may
be allowed to say few words IN favor of
one whom we have known for years, and
hare respected for his talents aud abilities
no less than we have liked him for bis
genial and kindly qualities as an affable
aud courteous gentleman. The first thing
we can say IN favor of Major Evans is that
which pre- eminently FITS him for the po-
sition in which his friends aspire to place
him-he is a most thorough and complete
business man, and possesses talents OF
superior order for business transactions
While he has been so strictly honest that
no one has ever so much as limited at an
unfair advantage taken by him in any
affair or trade. but on the contrary those
who denl with him the most speak most
highly OF him he has by the exercise of
superior tact and financial management
succeeded in placing the firm OF which he
is the head and manager far in the front
rank OF the Wholesale houses of the Capt.
tai. Financial skill aud abilities like his,
coupled as they are with scrupulous hon
esty, are the main qualifications required
ia an Auditor.
Politically he was Democrat until the
breaking out Of The war, but VIXEN the line
was drawn between patriots on one hand
aud traitors and their sympathzers on the
other, there was no hesitaDcy on his part.

also those 81 the 3Oth, aud those who are
not TOO bitterly opposed TO him politically

have said IN his favor. AT least we have
taken some paius to enquire about him
from his old comrades Ia the both, aud

ticket will add great strength to it, as lis

or this reason that we should be pleased
10 have him nominated, as we know that

wish it for him. did they not think it
would be to the general advantage Of tho

Speech Of Senator Morton.

On our first page this week will be
found the mastery speech of Hon. Oliver
T.. Morton, recently pronounced before
the soldiers and sailors Of the District Of
Columbia. Impressed by the perils that
now surround the Republican party, and
convinced that all that is necessary is to
awaken that organization to a full sense
of its invincible power, Governor horton
has devoted himself to a mastery and
thorough exposure Of the designs Of our
political enemies.
