APPROPRIATIONS FOB THE Day Docks.
The proposition to appropriate $3.50 to
aid in removing the Dry Docks from
Cairo, and show the good will of the
city to an important enterprise, was no
breaking matter. And it seems to us
rather picsyunish thing to refuse so
small SUN. Alderman McDavitt has
got his million bonds, and, having now
only two hundred thousand of them left,
is getting vastly economical We hope
the hat viii be handred round in the
churches to retrieve his difficulties and
enable him to report favOrably hereafter
as to the $3.50 proposition, or if that will
not do, let the tax be fixed on the
Nicolson pavement debts at once.

Illinois.

The Republicans of Illinois, in their
State Convention, on Wednesday last,
Nominated for Governor, Gen. PALMER,
formerly the gallant commander of the
18th Army Corps, and adopted four
resolutions on the national finances
which have the ring of the true metal.
They denounce all forms of reputation
as a national disgrace and crime and
insist on the honest payment Of the
public debt according to the laws under
which it was contracted, and insist that
any surplus which may remain in the
Treasury, after economical and neces-
ssry appropriations, should be applied
to the reduction Of the principal by
purchase of bonds in open market. This
plan neither proposes an enormous in
Nation of the currency by issuing hun
dreds Of millions of greenbacks, nor
an enormous burden of taxation 10 pay
of at once the public debt. Its adop-
ton would result in the gradual pay
mennt Of the Indebtedness and gen
ersl tightening up of the burdens of
txxstion. With PALMER at the head
of the ticket and sound platform, Il
linois is good for forty thousand loyal
majority.

ION Tuesday an election, made neces-
ssfy by the partisan legislation of the
Democratic Legislature, resulted in an
overwhelming victory for, the Republi-
cans. The 4th Ward, which went
Democratic in April, was carried by the
Republicans and the majority in the
Gitytwas 45o greater than at last city
election, although the vote was light
Thus the designs Of the managers Of
the scheme Of special Legislation, to
bring the leading cities ofthe State un-
der the control of the Democratic party,
have signaIly failed, SO far as Toledo is
concerned, and nothing remains for
them now but to pocket their defeat or
try again.
