Mr.. Editor Of Bulletin:
The Liberals and Democrats Of our
county held their convention here on the
10Th inst. TO select delegates TO the sena-
torial.reprcsentative convention to con-
yenc in Golconda, on Thursday, Aug. I'D.
Tho attend snce for such an occasion was
unusually large, the object being merely
TO select few delegates.
Every precinct in the county was rep
resented. the number present being two
hundred. In the work of the convention
the utmost harmony prevailed, liberals
and democrats vieing with each other for
prominence and zeal in tho good cause.
Judge Green. thanks to his zeal ran up
from Metropolis to DO with us. Being
called upon, he delivered one of his able
speeches in his happiest style. His telling
points were greeted with rounds of ap-
plause, and the big laugh Of the audience
followed the humorous anecdotc. The
effect of that speech will be, hat erery one
IN the audience aciH nore on tie ,corks Of
The Graat;,es this tau. The Democrats of
Pope are all for Greeley and Brown, not
a man of them is for Grant. And we
have plenty of Liberal Republicans, the
number Of which will be largely increased
before November. Pope county, the big
radical gun will be spiked this fall.

! II those 10 whose interest II is to act in
the matter will carefully consider what

edge the pertinency Vt my fully expressed

Some grocers imagine, falsely OF

cash accumulates in the till.
Judging from observation and presen
experience ! can say, without the lcas
