Three out of the four present nominees, Tilden

offices until the election. AS Governors seem 50

There was noticeable the other day, in the
Radical Convention, quite number Of foreign
ers and citizens of Northern birth upon the
stage. They had come. merely as strangers to
watch and study the evolutions of Radical poll
ties. These gentlemen were evidently greatly
impressed by the scene before them. which was
they say one of the most interesting and sug-
gestive they had ever witnessed in America :
We deeply regret that the theatre was not
thrown open to the general public. 1t ought to
have been. There are hundreds Of strangers in
the city, extremely anxious to see Radical Con-
vention at work 1t is sight as peculiar to New
Orleans as our Mardi Gras and French Market
Not only to strangers would it have been inter
esting. but TO our own people. 1t is the most
interesting the most pleasant. the most ex-
citing of shows. Picnics, cock fights and
mule races have grown somewhat in
sipid to the New Orleans public. We
want new. lively thrilling. harbreadth
amusements, and this, Radical convention,
yields above every other show in the world
Ii they will throw open future Radical conven-
tons to the public at one dollar admission, we
promise the Republican State and Parish Exc
cutive Committees crowded houses every day
1t will bring them universal notoriety, and such
a lot Of money as will not only pay every ex-
pense OF the convention, whisky included. but
leave them nice little campaign fund behind

MORNING PRESS.

| The PJcaDune says that it is evident from the
| excited tone Of the Republican papers, that they
have been cruelty disappointed mt the nomina
ton Of Tilden and Hendricks. They are all en-
doavoring 10 work up some SANDER or other
against our irreproachable nominees but feel-
ing that these aspersions are mot sufficiently
materai1ed." they are doing their best to arouse
Northern sectionaliealousy by boldly predicting
that the success of tho party in November would
subject the whole country 10 Southern suprem-
aey. This, however. is SO empty an assertion
that it will be recognized by everybody as moth
ing but device to divert popular sentiment on
the real issue. which is reform. The other point
of attack is the financial plank Of the platform
which is not definite enough. they say. This is
peurile as that clause is n tower of strength il
compared with the corresponding plank in the
Cincinnati platform.
The Times. as the DEMOCRAT did on Saturday
last and the Bulletin on Sunday. gives a singing
rebuke to the Radical State Convention sitting
in the ST. Charles Theatre. and Indignantly asks
whether the people OF Louisiana will be base
enough to permit the nominees of such dis
picable set to govern them. This will be seen Mt
tho next election. Referring to the action of
Grants administration concerning our fiscal
agency in London. 1t gives some good reasons
why Barring Bros should have been retained as
the agents of the Government. But the Admins
tration has never believed seriously in anything
but peruustes. The agency was transferred to
Jay Cooke & o.. at the time of general inan-
cial crisis, and when that firm was known to be
embarrassed. When it failed the agency was
given to Henry Clews. who had much less stand
ing than Cooke. Clews has failed since. and
now the Seligmans have it.
II must be admitted that to say the least, they
are new men in finance compared TO the
Barings. The latter have done favors to the
Government in time of need and should not
have been cast aside without good cause and
against all show Of reason

1t has been the custom. from time immemo
rial for auctioneers to hang out a red flag from
the place where they are making their sales. Il
is such an ancient custom that probably no
body knows how it originated and what il
means. The red flag Of the auctioner is nothing
in the world but the red flag of Algiers. the red
flag Of the pirates. After a piratieal cruise, il
was the custom to have an auction of all the
property seized and captured. The red flag be-
came thus identified with auctions and has ever
since been sign Of the business. a red white
and blue pole of a barber shop.
We do not wish to charge our auctioneering
friends Of to-day with being of a piratical ma
ture but. certainly. they strangely unfurl to the

THE SOUTH AT ST. LOUIS.

The New York Herald commends,
with some establishment, the modest
and reserved attitude OF the South at
the st. Louis Convention. It's delegates
had no favorites which they were not
willing to sacrifice, at any moment, to
some good Northern candidate Of more
availability, and yet 1t cannot be denied
that they held the balance of power,
and knew it. The Herald concludes
that "Bourbonism" is dead, and that
the race of fire-eaters is extinct.
The truth is. that long period Of adj
versity has made the South prudent.
Radicalism, with its intense sectional
prejudices, must be overthrown or the
South must die. It is not astonishing
then that it should willingly lay aside
personal preferences to secure the over
throw Of this old man Of the sea, which
it has been carrying on it's back till it is
well nigh exhausted.
AS matters stand now, with Tilden
and Hendricks at the head of an irwin
chile ticket, the South is confident that
its thraldom is at an end, and that the
broad principles Of nationalism will
prevail in November, bringing with
them peace, confidence and the revival
OF industry. The South has no hope
but with the Democratic party and, as
in the past it has fought desperately an
and bloody combat for an es-
teemed right, SO will it throw out it's
whole strength in the present contest
for liberty and reform, against sectional
tyranny and administrative corruption.
