The Cairo Sun appeals to the Radicals in
this congressional distric, for unity Of
action, and Uses the following language;
Two years ago the Republican party
was defeated because Of a lack Of Uhioh.
Some pulled this way, and some That
some gruinbled at this thing and others nj
that. Here q man would not work be-
80. cause be was not honored WITH some pace
which he Thought he could all better than
than anv one else Another would not 70
to tls polk BEGAN 20 his motion was defeated
in a county convention. Another got mad
because some ould-be-leader, spoke de-
preciatingly Of his influence. Some had
one reason, and some another, and the
result was a defeat because the full Repub-
lican vote was not polled. I.
4t' fTlst there was, two years ago Jealousy
aud divided counssls 10 the Radical party
in this district, We have reason to know,
and that these causes contributed, in part,
10 the success Of the Democratic nominee
we do not deny. The truth is, General
Baum, in his canvass Of two years ago,
had road to travel beset with many oh.
structicns which proved 10 be insurmount-
able; and, with full knowledge Of what
,ce say, ,ee assert, that Of all tAe obstacles
which barred General Raum from sue
cess, Hon. DANIEL W. MUM WAS THE
MOST FORMIDABLE. During oil that can
vass he acted the part Of q trescherous
friend and q secret enemy. He met the
General with fair words, 6St secretly
ia5ored 10 secure tie election Of Col. Crebs.
At Mt. Carmel he approached Republi-
cans and requested then TO vote against
Gen. Ram, and here In Cairo was guilty
OF the same act while he was publicly
protesting for that gsntleman's success OK.

friend Of Con. Raum,n and TO his personal |
friends, ~ request you. as favor personal

And What object could Mr.. Mum have |
In pursuing such q coure' No p~..uon
vho d aware Of the means TO onds adopted
by the Radical leaders Of Cairo and who
hnows tina, Mr.. Mum has !, sen ambitious
Of congressional hop'ors for years, |
would asked Tbs question. He
would know Tat Gen. Raum was
the only danger rival Of Mr.. Mum,
end that tho. gentleman would use every
possible Tieans 10 get the General out Of
the way. II General Raum had defeated
+ Col. Crebs two years ago. he and not Mr.
Mum would now be the Radical candidate
In this district for Congress; but his defeat

Democrats 10 d.feat Gen. Raumi This
we know, Is a charge Of great pith and
moment which We would not make unless
wo had the bsst of reasons for believing 1t
true. II iss charge which should forever
damn Mr.. Mum in the estimation Of all
good men and consign him to the shades
OF disreputab,e privacy and fellowship
with the lobby agent who vends him cheap
