The Cairo daily bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1870-1872, 1872-05-23
nominated at Baltimore. These one-sided
statements of the rule-or.ruin democratic
journals, and Of the penny-dog newspapers
which follow in their tracks, will not do.

SoME REMARKs We mado in this paper
last week have aroused the furious anger
of the Chicago Times We said few
things about the Times and state poll
tician or two, and the presidential candi-
dacy Of Judge Davis, which from the way the
Times rants, evidently hithard. Itcallsthe
BULLETIN a democratic newspaper con-
Germ at Cairo" by the way, we have al
ways noticed that the unfortunate journal
which incurs the censuro Of the Chicago
Times is Invariably dubbed by that with
cring sheet as ga newspaper concern
Tho Times should look up new nick
name. 1t would give variety and vim to
its abuse of newspapers which disagree
with It. However, wo quote from the
Times
"The democrats in this part Of the state
says the Cairo concern, care substantially
q unit in their determination not to be
led without protest and a fight into new
political defeats The TIMES would be
glad to know what reason they have for
thinking that in committing themselves
to the Chappaaua sage, without respect to
the action of the democracy generally, and
without knowing or taking the trouble to
find out what strength the philosopher can
bring from the republican party, they are
not precipitating themselves into y new
politica; defeat, more disastrous than any
other they have experienced.
Before the Cincinnati convention, the
Chicago Times was lavish in its advice
to the democracy 10 accept the doctrine of
passiveism. 1t was for examining the
dose down the throats of democrats at
all hazards, and was fierce in its denuncia-
ton Of democrats and democratic journals
which doubted the wisdom Of taking the
medicine. 1t preached daily sermons on
the duty Of the democracy to forego party
names, and by some small sacrifices Of
opinion and pre-conceived ideas of party
fealty, to step forward, join the liberal
movement and save the country. The lib
eral convention met and nominated Hor-
ace Greeley, and now, the reason the
democrats Of this part of the state have
for committing themselves in his favor is,
that in common with the people all over
the country, they have cut loose from
their allegiance 10 politicians and party
leaders. They are doing exactly what the
Chicago Times, before the Cincinnati
convention, advised them to do--they are
sacrificing party for the country's sake,
and IL is no use now for the Chicago
Times one Of the papers
which cut the democratic dikes in
order that tho tide Of public opin.
ion might run in this direction, to en-
deavor to stop the flow. The democratic
masses know little difference between
Horace Greeley and Judge Davis, as re-.
publicans, and not having, as the Times
gives the public reason to believe it had,
any interested motives why they should
have boon particularly for Judge Davis
they have thrown themselves freely and
fully into the movement for Horace Gree
ley, who appears to have touched the pop
ular heart more than it is possible Judg,
Davis, or any other of the candidates be
fore the Cincinnati convention, could hay,
done.
