are thoroughly drilled, they having learned
it, most of them, when drilling meant
serious business.
First Ward Central Liberal Club.
Eagle Hall was comfortably filed last
evening, the regular meeting night of the
club. Mr.. McRae Selph, the indefatigable
president, dispatched business in a prompt
manner, after which he introduced to the
audience w F. Herman, ESQ, the Liberal
candidate for Attorney General, who de-
liVered an eloquent address replete with
facts and logical deductions. This was Mr..
Kernan's first appearance before New
Orleans audience, and his remarks were
listened to with close attention, eliciting
frequent applause. Among the listeners we
noticed Colonel A. P. Field, Mr.. Kernan's
principal competitor for the office of AttOr-
ney General, who seemed equally pleased
with the remarks Of the eloquent speaker.
Fourth District German Central National
Republican Club.
At the corner of St. Mary and Camp
streets, in a room over a. cofeehouse, this
club met last evening, Mr.. F. Otto in the
chair. Some twenty persons were present,
mainly Customhouse employees. The bust
ness of the club war conducted in the Ger
man tongue. Mr.. Otto is popular and en-
terprising worker, and, had he espoused a !
more popular cause, doubtless his country
men would have responded with more en- |
thusiasm. He begins to realize that it is
uphill work to lead them into the support |
of Grant and Wilson.
Greeley Cadets.
This organization, presided over by Mr..
P. J. Sullivan, and supporting The united
State ticket, was called to meet last eve
ming at the Reform wigwam, at the corner

a handful Of men were present. What bust
ness was to be done was done promptly, |
and the club adjourned before nine o'clock.

corner of CustOmhouse and Claiborne

shortly before eight o'clock by the presi-
dent, Colonel S. w. Scott. After some reg
ular club business being gone through with,
the members were addressed by Mr.. Joseph
Duvigneaud, Colonel Waggaman and
others. There was, of course, the usual
stereOtyped Democratic abuse of the ex-
ecutive and other officials. However, on
the subject of Greeley and Brown, both
speakers and audience appeared perfectly
promising to exert every legal
means in their power toward the election of
these gentlemen.
