New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-06-24

will form new convention, call for Gree
lev delegates, make nominations, and fight
the battle out against Murphy, or Grant, or
any one who opposes us.
Suppose Grant shall be renOminated for
President; what will you do with Greeley
then o. asked.
'sWhy, make square fight against him.
Greeley would beat Grant in the State, and
as this State goes so 60 the rest. The Re-
publican party is irreconcilably divided
and we've got the strongest half.
DEMOCRACY WITHOUT LEADER
The death of Valandigham has left the
party leaderless. George PendletOn is
frank, generous. good fellow, but he is not
shrewd enough. His wife is charming,
fascinating woman, but she belongs to that
old secession Key family. At her sisters,
Mrs. General Howard, in Baltimore, l once
met jeff Davis, and then learned how deep
dyed in secession were the whole family.
The guests of Mrs. Pendleton in Cincinnati
always smack of disloyalty, too; in fact.
during the war she led the secession ele-
ment in Cincinnati The Groesbecks were
disloyal enough, but they did not ''tassel
out" like the PendletOus. Mrs Pendleton
affected the exclusive aristocratic secession
list. She gave dinners and cut Unionists.
Vallandigham's ''new departure" will be
sanctifed by his death. 1t will become the
new religion of the party. With the Democ-
1tal 81, Il aud
the Republican party running two ways for
Grant and Greeley, the coming fight will
present interesting features. The last
words uttered by yallandigham are en-
titled to consideration.
SUMMER RESORTS.
New Workers are commencing to make
their annual pilgrimages to the watering
places. This is the way we go. Those Of
us who are rich and old-fashioned, like Lloyd
Aspinwall, go to isolated summer villas at
Tarrytown, or up around Stamford, Con-
necticut. Our rich and fashionable set,
like Belmont and the Harpers, go to New
port, where we drive four in hand and
meet my Lord F;tz Goosie 'you know, you
know Our rich politicians, like Frank
Howe and Rufus Andrews, go to Long
Branch and hOb-nOb with Grant and Gel
lector Murphy. Here, too, Grant mixes up
with Lester Wallack, and Mrs. Grant dimes
and drives with Mrs. Hoey, the ex-actress.
Five years ago, Mrs. Judge Roosevelt, one
of our to-the-manor-born society queens,
introduced Mrs Hoey into good society, like
a good, kind, generous woman, for which she
was condemned by our most fashionable set.
They all held up their hands in holy horror,
and exclaimed: Mrs. Roosevelt associate
with an actress Last Fourth July, Mrs. |
Murphy, Mrs. Hoey and Mrs. Grant |
got up an excursion party, and Mrs. RoOse-
welt was left out, which caused great deal |
of town talk, as Mrs. Roosevelt had, on a |
former occasion, ieopardized her reputation |
to bring out Mrs. HOey. This is chapter |
of private social history which l throw in
en PEASANT Our solid business society. |
staunch, mOneyed green grOcers, active |
grain and cotton merchants like Dodd, the |
expressman, or Henry BOWS, go to Lake |
Mohopac. Our charming, dancing, lovely
young ladies go to Richfield Our blue
stocking, intellectual society go to Niagara,
the Mammoth Cave, and up the ST. Law
renee. Our Jewish society-the Isaacs and
Benjamins-gO to Sharon. Our exclusive,
old school Democratic society go to White
Sulphur. Our fashionable, dancing, f1irt-
ing society, like the Walls and Daniels
sigh for the blaze of Saratoga. Our cyprian
deni-monde go to Coney Island. Our senti-
mental little girls, with military crazy
go to West Point John Chamber
lain, the handsome scamp, takes his gam
bling establishment to Long Branch, and
John Morrissey Ito use the language of the
new poets), opens his ''gilt-edged hell' in
Saratoga.
Saratoga is, after all, the great American
watering place-the Baden-Baden of Amer
lea. Here the crowd rushes, and here, on
The first of August, is the great society car
