The Cairo daily bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1870-1872, 1872-02-18


the question.
BEFORE BRoss.
Yesterday appeared Milton Bontie, ne
gro doctor, and Ellen Nowlan, white wo-
man, both inmates of the Perry House,
charged with disturbing the peace by dis
orderly and offensive conduct. Being
pennies they could not pay the fines, and
were sent to Jail. Arrested by Sheehan.
HOW WOULD THIS Do2
For the select council the retiring men,
beis-Hurj, Schulz, and Woodward, all
republicans. For the board of aldermen
First ward, Messrs. Rennie, republican,
and SafOrt, mildly democratic second
ward, Messrs. Buder, republican, and Bar
clay, democrat; third ward, Mr.. j. b.
Fulton, republican fourth ward, Jno. II.
Robinson, democrat This would give the
republicans, six out Of the nine
members Of the council to be elect
ed. DO they want morep The
gentlemen named would constitute an
excellent addition TO the council.
Mr.. Schulz has made an excellent member
of the select council, and two better men
than Messrs. Stafford and Ronnie could
not be sent to tho board of aldermen.
They have large interests in Cairo, and are
intelligent men who would take an inter-
est in the affairs of the city, and labor to
advance all enterprises for its prosperity,
and be earnest and scrupulous guardians
Of the city treasury. The same may be
said of Messrs. Buder and Barclay. Mr..
Buder has been good alderman, and
should DO returned. Mr.. Bar.
clay has had considerable ex-
perience in the city legislature, and
is just the man for the place. Mr.. Fulton
would fill the bill as the representative OF
the third ward, and, Mr.. Robinson DO all
that could he desired from the fourth. BY
this arrangement the republicans would
have two-thirds of the select council anC
: the democrats four of majority in thu
board of aldermen. We don't see VIII,
this would not be just the thing, or there
abouts.
WINSTON AND BRoss.
The contest between these two gentle
men for the Office of police magistrate i
+, assuming personal complexion. Col
q Winston is the representative of the me
!. who disapprovc Judge Bross' conduct an
4 bearing in the county court, and who b,
A leve he is unnecessarily rude and bluff
N his treatment Of the people who ha,
q official business TO transact wit
10 him. He has a habit--s very bad one,
n. must permit us to say-of going for
Ia everybody bills without giving any c.
N PLANTATION, and thus has offended many
IA his warmest personal friends. There
ID not. we venture to say, an officer of 4
10 county, or n lawyer who has had busine
~ with his court, who has not had reason
Of be angry with him. The Judge has tax,
$. no trouble TO mollfy this anger, and it h
d been developed into tho candidacy of u
10 Winston for the city office Bross occupi
n and to be reelected to which he has 0
10 pressed desire. The Coloners frien,
At say
>, This is fight against Bross as publ
a, officer. We say his official conduct h
k displeased the people of Cairo and '
h wish to try that issue. 1t can be done
or neither of the candidates are bostercd
Id tho noinination of u convention-if tn
IL are permitted to run on their own merit
id IL this is not done-iC" say Col. Winston
10 friends, "Judge Bross is bolstered by bell
I'd surreptitiously placed on the "citizsr
- ticket, as much as we would regret to
Id So and although we should dislike to O
Y. pose gentlemen like Lansden, Tayll
" Pope, Howley and Cain, We could not pr
ne vent an opposition from growing up, al
h the result would undoubtedly be disastro
es to those gentlemen" This is somewhat
d threat, but it will scare nobody. Bo,
II Judge Bross and COL Winston oppos,
d. those excellent gentlemen last year, al
n their opposition did not amount to muc
re We have therefore certainly lit
6, to fear this year If the forces of the oppos
Ut ton are divided. But this is neither here n,
- there. The question Isl Should Col. vii
10 ston and his friends DO allowed to NAL
N up the issue they deslre--the issue
N Judge Bross faithfulness and efficiency
e u county officer. That will be the issue
IS these two gentlemen run as independeI
% candidates, neither being nominated by
10 convention, since if Bross should be d
3f featcd as police magistrate he will be con
r PEELED to'resgn the county judgeship, ii
e salary of that Office being altogether il
10 sufficient to support any man. The
some other man, not so strict-not so do,
y matical - not so unconcilating - Co
e Winston, for instance-might be put int
Il his place. We believe this is the issu
the Winston men would like to make vi
a If We are mistaken we should like to b
. corrected.
