The New Orleans Democrat., 1876-07-13
MORNING PRESS.


The Bee reviews the city aspirants to the Gov
ernorshp In the following wise
Gov. McEnery-His friends argue that he has
claim upon the position for the reason that be
was elected in 1872, and illegally kept out of
office by the force of Federal bayonets. The Bee
thinks that this is sentiment. and such thing
must be kept out OF politics. The nomination OF
Gov. McEnery would revive past issues. and our
work now is entirely with the future
Davidson b. Penn-Is still more intimately
connected with tho fusion of 1872 than Gov Nc
Emery. and he labors under the further objeo-
tion of having backed the Wheeler com mpromise.
Outside of this he Is generally believed to be the
representative of a financial oiigarchy whose in
terests are opposed to those Of our population.
Hon. l.. A. Wiltz-His political career has been
well filled, and his attitude In January. 1875. has
won for him golden opinions as man of
Intelligence and energy He Is reproached with
political weakness Mayor of the city in his
relations with the State government but his
position was difficult one and he acted for the
best. The only objection the Bee has to him Ia
his advocacy In the House Of the railroad tax
and the premium bond bills.
Hon. Albert yorohies-Has an irreproachable
record as sincere. honest and Jealous Demo-
crat. He is sustained In his candidacy by sew
eral country papers.
zen. Il. ~. ORuen-HlS 1rl6nds claim tlAL ne
is no politician. that he is energetic, intelligent
and brave. but the Bee thinks that he lacks ex-
perience, though that might be remedied by
judicious choice Of advisers.
The Republican is impertinent this orning.
but Is answered elsewhere in the DEMoCRAT. On
politics, it says that the oniy charge the Demo-
Gratis can bring against the Republicans is dis
honesty and extravagance: this, 1t says. has
been refuted by the nomination OF Packard We
do not clearly see the point. 1t says that the
correspondent OF the Bulletin, Real Believer"
was undoubtedly not In the 14th of September
fight; he talks too loudly to be hero. Then
follow two or three columns wherein the words
"Coushatta." assassination" and 'intimida-
tion" frequently recur. 1t evidently shows
some spleen at the detection OF the Southern
Republicans, and let's fall its anger on the Plea
Wtne.
The Picavune says that the calculation Of
chances in the present campaign Is a difficult
job, and after making several appropriate re-
marks. virtually gives it up.
About civil service reform, II says the thing Ii
impossible under Republican Administration.
and it can only be achieved with TildeD and the
Democratic party.
The forced resignation Of Postmaster Jewell
is another example OF the ow-mindedness
of Grant, who has no higher standard to guide
him but personal or party motives.
| The Bnlletin. commenting upon the Levee
Appropriations and the Hawaiian Treaty"
utters somewhat intempestively. a threat against
the Democratic party and seems to hesitate
whether it will not advise the people to mako
some sort Of a bargain with the Republicans.
1t takes up that part Of the communication Of
Citizen against Mr.. Witt, accusing him OF being
tie introducer of the New Orleans Pacific Rail-
road tax bill. and says that his advocacy OF the
bill. instead Of being! derogatory to his claims.
entities him to the sincere gratitude OF the
public.
Speaking Of the exactions OF the New Orleans
Gaslght Company 1t says:
| Monopolies are nearly always cormorants, but
| in the New Orleans Gasight Company we have
the colossal a11iction OF q cormorant with tape
worm.
The Times says that in nominating Mr.. Pack
ard the Radical Convention has put the best foot
foremost. The Conservatives must fight them
on their own ground and put up Davidson b.
Penn.
1t arraigns the Administration for it's stupid
and immoral conduct Of Indian affairs, and
says:
Will the peorle place the same party In power
lies which have robbed and impoverished tho
flying and Tilden must do it.
