GREEN MUST NOT BE sTULTIFIED.


Mr.. William Green Is the highly appropriate
name Of a person Of color who has, In various
subordinate capacities, been rather evident
than otherwise for some years past. We mean
In politics. IL Ia not convenient. nor Woutd
1t pay to excavate to the extent required TO de-
termtne Just when Green took his bulge, but
1t liz enough for all our purpose to know and
to state that he has been EXCEPTIONALLY visible
for some years past. II we are not mistaken
he was once Clerk OF the House OF Represent
tatives In the piping times OF KelloRg-a
caybank youth with much bounce about him
and a strident voice. Since the evanishment
or Kellogg, Green has faded into a neutral
tint upon our political camera and been con-
spicuous chiefly through the pleasing oblivion
which enveloped him. Now TINT he has re-
called himself, however, we do re-
member that Green Is n person with O
mission. Sorting Greco out from tho rubbish
of the Radical perio !, we recollect that
Green's cherished ambition has always been
to avoid stultlfying himself. We remember
this because 1t Ia at once remarkable, and
creditabIe to Green. Considering how much
Nature has done for him In that line, 1t is
really meritorious In him to plant himself
upon tho narrow margin that Is lett, and re-
fuse to be entirely stultitied. Wedon not know
we cannot conjecture-G Green's objection to
being stuItified. He has never explained. He
may object on the score that the one morsel
Of variety remaining to him would thereby
| be taken away and thus make him lonesom g
SO TO speak; Or he may object because he
don't think qualification would suit his style
of beauty.
However that may be, Green Is determined
not to be stultified, and yesterday, while he
was taking big hand In the Republican Par,
ish Convention. he got O. chance to declare
himself 1t was proposed to appoint com
mittee to confer with the Citizens Associa
ton whatever that may be with view to
harmonizing upon ticket In opposition to
the Democratic ticket. Some fervd gent pro
posed this move, evidently under the impress
sion that he was achieving a feat OF profound
aud ingenious diplomacy. But Greer
straightway rose up, with wool in fine frenzy
rolling, and beloved In his deepest bass thai
he didn't propose to be stultified. Which, o
course settled 1t and indicated Green.
| Tt is melancholy to reflect that tho Citizens
1 Association whatever that may be-won
have an opportunity TO confer with Greer
and his accompltces. It is painful com
mentary upon the times in which we 1.-Two tina
statesmen like Green can't be utilized by thu
Citizens Association In achieving the saliva
ton OF the country. But before oil things
Green must not be stultitied. Better tina
the Heavens should falI-far better. W.
haven't got many OF Green. Ii we were t.
lose him we don't know where we could iool
for another. Besides, In stultifying Greer
we should stultify the whole gang, and tia
wouldn't do at all. We haven't room 70
them out yonder on Common street.
The end of all this will be that the Repnh
lcan Convention will re-assemble next wee
and that Green, vocal and unstultlfed will
preside over the nomination Of a beautiful
piebald ticket which the members OF the Git
zens' Association will have an opportunity o
peruslng at their leisure. This is much bet
ter than stultifying Green-oh! much.
