MUST DIYFRR.
From the Saline County Res,stsr.1
The Cairo BULLETIN 10 out for Hon.
j. r. Doolittle, Of Wisconsin, for the demo.
cratic candidate for President. This IL
| upon the supposition that . conservs live
Republican should be put ct the head Of
our national ticket, but even supposing
that 70 DO desirable, We must differ with
the BuLLENIS a. to its choice Of . man.
We fail 10 see why we should 60 out Of
our own state whom We have In Il such .
man rs Judge David Davis, Of the SUI

"SoSE LESS OBJECTIONABLE"
From the shawneetown (Ill) Mercury-Radical.l
The Cairo BULLETIN dominates ex.Sen.
ator Doolittle as the democratic candidate
Tor the presidency in 1917. Among all the
names mentioned on that side Of the house
IN connection with the presidency, there
70, Perhaps, mono lees Objectionable than
Doolittle. II ID true he wandered from
the fold Of republicanism, but he has
enough Of the old leaven remaining TO
prevent him from handling the govern.
mcnt over 10 the red-handed enemy were
he so fortunate ~ TO be elected. But there
is no danger Of this departure"
GOOD TIMBER.
tFrom the Quincy (ni.) Hsrald.l
The Cairo BULLETIN considers ex-Sen.
ator Doolittle "the man for the hour"
which is made more clear by Q column
editorial pronouncing him the only stand
ard-bearer 70 whom the democracy should
entrust its colo1 in 1872. We have
claimed oil along that we have prodi-
gious amount of good presidential timber
on hand and Senator Doolittle 10 . piece
from which . president could b made,
who would honor the Office and the con-
stituency that places him there.
"a PURE.xINDrD, HIoHroxKD srA1rs-
Man"
From the Carmi (n.) Ceuries.]
The Cairo Daily BULLETIN places the
above at the head Of it, columns - .
standing announcement Of its preference
- TO Presidential candidates for 1872.
This 10 . wise selection. Judge Doc
little is pure minded, high toned states:
man, and one who will be readily accepted
spot Or blemish. He has already been
found laboring In the interest Of his
country regardless Of party. He has ct
times sacrificed his political and pecun',ry
interests for the sake Of principle. With
this kind Of . man as our standard bearer
in 1872, the victory will Be easy.
WISE SELECTION.
From the Mound City (Il) Journal
The Cairo Dr'ly BULLETIN raises the
above at the head Of its columns As stand
ing announcement Of its prefence a. TO
presidential candidates.
This selection is wise. A mere pure
minded and sagacious statesman than Hon.
james X. Doolittle does not exist within
the borders Of the United States. His re-
cord is clear. He has always supported
the interests Of his country in preference
TO those Of party. He has even sacrificed
himself At times-his political and pecu-
mary interests-in unfolding principle.
Such is the man we want in these degen-
crate times at the head Of our government.
The country should be brought out Of the
it has fallen since the death Of President
way better than by electing ex-senator
ence.
UNSURPASSED ABILITY.
From the shawneetown tlii) Gazetts.l
Last week we published an article from
the New York Herald supporting Chase
and Hancock for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency. This week we publish an
" favcring the nomin alton Of Hon. james
r. Doolittic, Of Illinois, by the Democrat
ic National Convention. 1t 10 useless to
| even mention the name Of Salmon p. Chase.
l He 10 not the man. We believe that he Is
| in full sympathy with the democratic par
l " and will labor for ITS success in 1872
but he Is too old. Hancock Is true dem.
ocrat and ifa military man IL 20 be select
ted he will be and should be the man
But it Is our opinion that the Democratic
Convention viii select q Western man
man Of progressive ideas, and possessing
rare qualities Of true statesmsnship
Judge Doolittle is man Of ability, of un
surpassed ability among the statesma,
of to-day.
He is man oftrue hrmness and an un
compromising democrat II the nomine
Of the party, we shall enter the ranks Arm
" believing that the old democratic ban
ner will dehsntly wave over the alread,
tottering ramparts Of radicalism
SOME MAN OF ASTEcEDEsTs SIMILAR
From the Mount Carmel (lll.) Democrrtl
. We republish to-day an article from
, the Cairo BULLETIN, nominating sx-Ssna
tor Doolittle, Of Wisconsin, as the Demo
D cratic candidate for the Presidency
, While we are not prepared to say that b
, would be the best selection that could b,
. made, 1t seems most obvious that som
q man Of antecedents similar in some re
spects TO his should be chosen. Tn
