We think it is about time. that
highly moral, defender of tue
Burke-McEnery Administration,
the Times Democrat, should cease
f%urthering thro' its personal col.
umn" the efforts of women of
questionable virtue. to procure
"protestors" and gentlemen
friends" for what purpose the rea
ders can easily imagine. Here is
a fair sample =
4 LADY, YOUNG AND UN.

The New Orlean Item, an even
ing paper controlled by Jown ".
Fairfax, a Republican broker and
bond holder, and an ex-henchman
Of VIM. P. Kellogg, has been very
malicious in its persistent attacks
upon Gen. Ogden. A few days
ago when a representative of that
paper called upon the General to
interview him il regard to report
that a political conference had
been held between Ogden and
Gov. Nichols, he was very proper.
'ly informed that it was none OF
his business. The idea that there
is nothing sacred or private in a
mans life when he enters politics
lis a most absurd one. When
cheeky reporters are taught that
there is a latitude which bounds
their inqnisitivencss, miscalled zen
terprisc," it will be better for al
concerned.
