Ex-Governor John M. Thayer, in dis
cussing the circulation of Major Cal
houn's petition among repuhliciins tho
other day, Huid: "I understand uioro
than '200 old Union Bold i or h have Binned
Culhoun'H petition, and that they huvo
signed it bucuuBo he is an ex-confederate
Boldior, in order to hIiow that they had
no fooling against him on that account.
Now, I do not wish to bring up tho old
war question in connection with Cal
houn; I am not fighting against his
selection as postmaster, but I cannot
help reminding tho old soldiers that by
asking for Calhoun's npiointment they
huvo given Jiitn tho preference for tho
reason that ho was in tho rebel army.
They endorse him on that account.
How docs that look to them? Hut I
huvo heard it Buid, 'I prefer a rebel sol
dier to ono who was a northern copper
head during tho war.' So say I, overy
time. I heartily endorse that senti
ment; but are wo to conclude that thero
is no compotcnt democrat in Lincoln
worthy to bo postmaster who was loyal
and putriotic during tho lato war? I
am not willing to admit that.
In my judgm6nt tho old soldiers, includ
ing mysolf, huvo made fools of ourselves,
and I took tho first occasion to rcliovo
mysolf from .that disagreeable predica
ment. Certain democrats laid u nice lit
tle trup for us. In tho coming cam
paign, when wo charge thut the southern
brigadiers in tho luto struggle to over
throw tho government uro now in con
trol of tho presidency and both houses
of congress, thoy, tho democrats, will
point to the fact that tho union votorans
of Lancaster county endorsed an ox
confederate to bo postmaster of Lincoln,
and wilt naturally usk, what have you
to say against tho southern brigadiorH?
What huvo wo republicans to do with
this contest, anyhow. It is not our fun
eral Wo ought to l)o, anil I am, in tho
position of tho old woman in thut terrific
contest between her husband and tho
beur: 'Go it old bruin, go it old hoss, I
don't euro a continental which gets
licked.' It really does mo good to seo
tho fight in tho democratic ranks go on;
'my health improves on it; it ifl as good
as u tonic. Oh, tho harmonious democ
racy!" General Thayer has written to
tho postmaster-general asking that his
name bo taken from tho petition.
As mutters begin to tako tangible
shape, politically, it becomes manifest
that in tho republican ante convention
campaign this year, tho situation will
possess at least one unusual feature. In
tho first congressional district, it is
going to bo tho field against tho Nemaha
county politician, Church Howe, and
in tho state it is going to bo tho field
against tho Nemaha county politician,
Tom Majors. At this moment it cannot
bo said thut Howe's prospects for tho
congressional nomination aro nil ; nei
ther can Majors aspirations for tho
governorship be regarded lightly. Doth
men uro very much in eurnest, and they
aro prepared to make a hard light.
Majors will huvo tho ' more or
loss violent opposition, tho opposition of
tho working element of tho state cen
tral committee, and thero is, moreover,
a considerable feeling of hostility among
members of tho party genorally, tho
opinion being expressed that Majors has
carried his light far enough. In his
campaign for tho congressional nomi
nation Howe may have atho silence of
tho Jlcc, but not any active help, and ho
will bo opposed by tho anti Rosowater
republicans. Lancaster county will
solect from its three soi-disant candi
dates, and presenting a solid front Lan
caster will l)o a formidable obstacle in
Howe's way. Church is working his
preliminary canvass chiefly on tho old
soldier question.
In this city it is evident that Judgo
Witters will have some opposition in the
approaching spring campaign ; hut from
tho present outlook it is altogether prob
able that Waters will bo renominated.
Some activity is already manifest in tho
wards and there is a prospect of some
lively contests. II. 15. Sawyer, out in
tho Sixth has a just claim to tho title of
coming man. In tho Fourth O. W.
Webster will bo a candidate for rcnomi
uation. Chris Camp is also a candidnto
in this ward. Moscloy will have somo
opposition in tho Fifth.
A growing tendency of Americans is
thus caricatured by a contemporary:
"Tho formation of tho Society of
Descendants of Soldiers of tho Colonial
Wars will bo followed, I am sure, by a
Socioty of Descondunts of the Men and
Womon of tho Colonial Peace. You can
bo a governor-general, a deputy gov-ornor-gencrul,
and bo on in tho former,
and got just as good an ofllce in tho
latter tit tho sumo price. Certain it is
thut overy American is descended from
somebody, and certain it seems to bo
that ho must belong to u socioty of tho
descondunts of somebody or tho wins of
whutyoumuycallit. I know no peoplo
moro covetous of ancestral distinction
than my esteemed countrymen in this
republic, whero hereditary honors aro
supposed not to count. From the so
cioty of the Cincinnati to tho Gentle
men's Sons of tho Sixt' Ward, tho pas
sion rules, (live us plenty of red sashes
and ribbons, a military cap or a cocked
hat to wear upon our simple republican
heads, u wreath of medals and badges
upon our rejoicing breasts, bright war
like trc users and miscellaneous togs,
and u scabbard whacking away at our
shrunk shanks, and wo uro as happy us
u Guinea nigger with u stovepipe hut.
An ofllco for overy man, tho moro pon
derous and oriental tho title tho better,
a chance to be enrolled among tho
descendants of somebody, or in some
society of great name, u chance to inarch
in procession mid to hear speeches at
"banquets," and our hearts aro as cork.
Hurrah for us, thoonly people that loves
simplicity, detests flummery, abhors
titles, and hates vain pomp and show!
Hurrah for us, I say, and let every hand
wave tho plumed crest:"
