We have looked in vain In the
Jefferson Banner for an explanation
of its editors course in opposing Walt.
Greene's nomination for Senator be-
cause he bolted Taylor last fall, and
at the same time supporting Judge
Orion for congress, who also opposed
Taylor. To a person of average un-
Outstanding this does not seem to be
consistent. Will not the manager of
the late George Bird convention plea
rise and explain why is this thus z"
IF il is true, as stated by the Jeffer-
son Banner, that "Moak, Ganong,
Casweil & Co." dictated the republican
county nominations, these gentlemen
are to be congratulated for having
done so creditabIe a job The ticket
is the best and most popular ever be-
fore presented to the people of Jefier-
son county for their sufrages. But
the Banner is too lavish in its award
of credit. The gentlemen spoken OF
an entitled to only their share Of
the praise, for there was per-
feet unanimitv among the delegates,
and all joined in framing the ticket
which so disturbs the Banner. There
are no "rings" in republican conven-
tons such as triumphed in the gather
ing which produced the Bird ticket.
Republican conventions can get along
without any such adiuncts.

Schurz is making from six to twelve
speeches week for Hayes and
Wheeler, even filling his engagements
when unable to stand, as was the case
the other day, When he was compelled
to sit in his chair while addressing his
audience. AS to the result in Ohio.
Mr.. Schurz has published letter
denying that he had ever expressed
the opinion stated, and further saying
that he believed that the state would
be carried by ayes and Wheeler
And thus it Is, that the Democrat is
weekly dlshlng up trash OF this KIND
for its readers, We do not wonder
that the mention Of Mr. Schurz's
name gives it the gripes, but what will
be the effect when he comes back TO
Wisconsin to advocate the election Of
Hayes and Wheeler The editors will
then go crazy sure.

How Walt. Greene was Defeated.

In the George W. Bird convention,
which placed in nomination the ticket
headed by Doct Reed for Senator. one
of the arguments used to defeat Walt.
Greene was that be had bolted Gov.
Taylor last fall and Gov. Lud,ngton
had squared the account by appointing
Greene a member of one of the COM
mittee on awards at the centennial
exhibition, from this state, at very
large salary We mention this as
showing the trickery reso,ted to by
Bird ana other delegates in the con-
vention to carry their point.
The fact is that Greene did not re-
ceive his appointment from Ludlngton
at all; that Gov. Ludington knew
nothing of the matter. and had no
more to do with it than the man in
the moon. The appointment was
made by the Board of Directors of the
centennial commission, and Mr. Greene
was no more indebted to Gov Luding-
ton for it than he was to President
Grant. The salary attached to the
position was only $500. which all will
agree was very meagre sum indeed
penses, in city like Philadelphia.
The attempt to make capital against
Greene by claimin. that he had been
rewarded by Gov. Luding,on'wl'h this
appointment for his opposition to
Taylor is so decidedly mean that We
cannot forbear its exposure.
Now that we are upon the subject
it may be well enough to state another
fact, and that is that Doct. Reed, the
nominee OF the George w. Bird con-
vention, holds an honorable trust at
the hands Of Gov. Ludington, having
received from him ao appointment as
member of the State Board of Charities
and Re orm 1t is Reed then, and
not Greene, whose ernine is solled,
if there be any such thing, in holding
an appointment from Gov. Ludington.
But we do not think Reed any better
or worse for the existence of this tact.
We should not have mentioned 1t ex-
cept as showing up the hypocrisy OF
the Bird faction and exposing their
lying and deception But we have
done this so often that it is getting to
be an old story, and we fear our read.
ers will have cause to complain of is

Know Nothing Candidates.

Under a startling head line last
week the Democrat made the announce
ment of Hayes Know Nothing" and
published a letter purporting to have
been written by Gov. Hayes acknowl-
edging his connection with that order.
The letter is forgery, and was long
since authoratively SO pronounced. The
Democrat is either profoundly ianor-
ant not to know this, or else is malic-
lous in revamping the old exploded
lie. Gov. Hayes is not Know Moth
ing and never was: The only candi-
date now before the people of whom
we have any knowledge as a Know
Nothing, is Harlow S. Orion, the
democratic candidate for congress. He
was one in 1860, and in that year vo-
ted for the candidates of that party.
That We may do him no injustice, we
quote from a speech made by him in
Chicago at meeting held to ratify the
nomination of Geo b. Mcclellan for
the presidency, on the evening of Sep
TENDER 9th, 1864. He said:
do not coun tenance forcble resistance
to any law. am an advocate of law. In
1860 I did not have the honor to vote fer
that great and good man whose spirit now
rests in God, Mr.. Douglas, (cheers); but
voted for Bell aud Everett, and to-day |
don't know which of them is best off.
Bell has gone over to the secessionists, and
Everett has gone over to the abolitlonists,
and am without candidates to-day, and
don't know which of them has gone into
the worst company daughter and cheers.)
This is Judge Orton's own language,
We commend it to the attention of
Douglas democrats, whose affection for
the "little giant" knew no bounds.
While they were doing all in stheir
power to elect him, Judge Orion was
hobnobbing with the know nothing
party and supporting Bell and Everett
The democrat seems to be greatly
troubled on account of Carl SchurZ,
but its worry thus far is not to be CON-
pared with that which will follow when
Mr.. SchurZ returns to take the stump
in Wisconsin The Democrat devoted
two articles to Mr.. Schurz last week,
each Of which was as full of falsehoods
as an egg is Of meat. When the
Democrat stated that Mr.. Schurz had
been withdrawn from the canvass in
Indiana on account Of disagreement
with the republican national committee,
it led as we believe knowingly and
malieiously So also as to is assertion
taat Mr.. Schurz had written letter
expressing an opinion that Ohio would

Many of the democrats are fearful
that 'Tilden and Reform" mean for
the nation what Taylor and Reform
gave to the people of Wisconsin-one
of the most corrupt and disreputable
administrations Of W hich they ever had
any knowledge. They will according
ly oppose their party aud vote for
HAYES and Wheeler.

were before. They will be promised
anything they may demand, on con-

The Shakespeare Club.

This favorite amateur dramatic club gave
it's fourth complimentary entertainment of
the current series at the Varieties Theatre
last evening. The plays chosen were Rob-
ertsons drama of "Dreams" and Danvers'
comic interlude entitled "a Conjugal Les
son." The cast Of the drama was as follows:
The Duke of Loamshire Mr.. P. B. Angelovich
The Bari of Mount ForrestcOurt. Mr.. Max Stern
Rnd"1s RmiI HarfhaI .......Mr. T. c. McCandlish
Old Gray. ........................Mr Mr.. W. S. McElroy
Lady Clara We're de We're. 90. Miss Katie Glassford
Frau Harfthal.. Miss Maggie Stroudback
The performance was especially note
worthy in that it brought prominently for
ward many members of the club who have
heretofore been somewhat in the back
ground, and dispensed with the services of
those who have generally filled the most
prominent positions. Mr.. McCandlish,
who assumed the leading character in
Dreams" is comparatively stranger to
the amateur stage, and has never before
had q fair opportunity Of testing his real
strength. His rendition last evening was
omIAcu1ly eatiSidctoIy, auO suouiO oHcouT-
age him to renewed efforts. Mr.. Frank
Wilson made quite hit by his acting of
the comedy part of John Hibbs, and was
frequently the recipient of lavish applause.
The lady characters we're very cleverly
rendered, although none of them afforded
much scope for fine acting. The play was
mounted, and the tout ensemble
was decidedly pleasing.

ton.

Mr.. Ogden, is not quite clear on the railroad
question, it says:
We regret to say that the nomination of
Judge Elan was not favorably received
here. He is thought to be inimical to the
railroad interests of this and the parishes
east of us. We trust, however. that he
will be able to disabuse the minds of our
people on this subject.

State, to succeed Brother Sam Armstead,

where he is regarded as eminently fit for

Sisters of the Holy Family.

There was an exhibition given by the
pupils and bosrders of the excellent insti-
tuition of the Sisters of the Holy Family,
Tuesday evening, at Globe Hall, on St.
Peter street. The object of the exhibition
was to aid in the establishing OF female
orphan asylum.
The entertainment consisted of an open
ing address by Miss Stevens, songs, chants,
tableaus, recitatio and dialogues, and all
acquitted themselves creditably, though one
or two were not perfect in their parts. The
song Come. Birdie, Ceme," by Miss E.
OveIia, aged five years; "The Earth-child
in Fairy Land" by seven young ladies';
"The Dying Child" by Miss NJ. Bates, and
the tableaus, are particularly to be COM
mended.
The home established by these Sisters re-
ceives little orphan girls of all ages, edu-
Gates them, and provides bountifully for
their present comfort. 1t is desired to ex-
tend it's influence by such exhibitions and
contributions, and the object should receive
hearty encouragement.

We do not propose to 90 to the New

means of conducting the campaign, nor to
be guided by it's "views" on that matter.
We do not think that a newspaper which is
owned, body and soul, type and editor, by
the Louisiana Lottery Company, and which
dares not utter word about Louisiana
politics without first casting about and
finding out whether it is agreeable to Char
ley Howard and his set, is the best guide
