EDITOR BOssIER BANNER-The
following statement in regard to the
candidacy of Hon. 8. NJ. Thomas for
reelection to the State Senate, wish
to make as a matter Of justice to all
parties concerned:
I called upon him and stated that
many of his friends wished him to
become a candidate again. He said
he had been spoken to before In re-
gard to the matter, and If call suf-
ficiently numerous was made, he
would accept. In the list handed
Mr.. Thomas are the names Of few
parties whose autographs ] did not
obtain, and consequently are there
through error arising in compiling
from memoranda. The part took in
this call is due entirely to recOgni-
ton of his past services, and my be-
lief that he honestly and faithfully
performed his duty, and not from
any Interior personal consideration to
myself whatever; for it is well known
among my friends that / expect to
leave thee Parish this fall with view
to making my home permanently be-
yond the vicinity of the State.
Respectfully,

the Diplomatic COrNs and they were never tired of
showing him hOnOrs of every sort Those which Mr..
Bancroft most highly priced were, of course, aca-
demic honors; social and political honOrs are the
post Of every man IN his position And yet it must
be confessed that the Minister has been popu
lar with Americans Many Of the complaints have
been unjust. Some of them were by persons who
demanded more social display from an official who
has never lived within his salary; Others from
giddy people who wished to see jaunty officers and
Counts az his receptions instead of the leaders Of
science literature and art others from people whose
ideal minister is a ward politician with free views
on the subject Of etiquette But beyond these classes
there was even among the more solid and serious
Americans at Berlin, dissatisfaction, especially
with the later years of the Minister. Mr. Bancroft
Davis will perhaps supply some of the missing con-
ditons; If so, and indeed in any case, he Will be
welcome. If he succeeds as well as his uncle in rep
resenting the best schools of American thought and
scholarship, his success may be safely predicted
Mr. BancrOfts resignation, with that of Col Bliss.
First Secretary of Legation, brings about the promo
tiOn of Mr.. Nicholas Fish TO the latter position.
There is but one opinion among Americans about
this appointment. Mr.. Fish ana Mrs. Fish are
versal favOrites and their good fortune is as well
deserved as it is well received Consul Kreismann,
too, is to remain with us and with the added Dig
nifty of Consu-General. 1t was reported here at one
time that the bill for reforming the consular
service and establishing a Consulate General at
Berlin. covered a scheme for legisatng Mr.. Kreis-
mann ont. and putting in his place somebody's
friend" If such was the plan the President has
wisely bafled it. The Government l should think,
could III afford 60 lose him. 1t has now given him
rank commensurate with lis duties.
