William Morris, who WAS to have been
comptroller last year, knows how it is
himself.
Mayor Lansden, having been success
ful in his local Notwithstanding elm bed
to the lofty position of mayor of Cairo,
has how fixed bis eagle eye upon congress,
and has procured the backing of Mr..
Grants man, Mum. He will go into the
radical nominating convention with
number OF friends who understand how to
manage things, and he has high hopes Of
securing the nomination. His strong point
is, that nobody knows anything against
him, and that no republican candidate
who is known can hope to succeed at the
polls. Which is very true.
The liberal republicans of Cairo
should show their hands without further
delay. II they mean business, now is the
time to act The day of tongue liberality
has about gone by, AVID action is demanded.
We are aware Of the difficulties that con-
from: our good friends, the liberal republi-
cans. They have 50 long followed after
Mr.. Mum that they fear the crack of his
party lash, and when Mr.. Pope raises his
finger and says "You must mt boys such
conduct will not do" their courage fails
they settle down into very docle party
men. But, for all this,we have little doubt
our liberal republican friends want to do
something, and we think they should do it
soon.
Col. Wood is anxious to be the repub-
lican candidate for senator in this dis
trict or failing in that to 20 to congress.
This fact is displeasng to Major Pope,
who desires to be consulted in such mat
tiers, and the result is that the Major and
the Colonel do not hitch teams kindly, the
Colonel being of the opinion publicly ex-
pressed that tho Major is too much small
corn in large ear. Captain Linegar
who expects to lead the hosts OF liberal
drinkers to battle this fall, must DO called
in or the fat will soon be in the fire; and
if he should fail, then must CAL be made
upon the Gallant General Mum. Peace
must be preserved in the radical family of
Cairo.

There is no doubt that Mr.. Davis, on his
Carbondale side, is sinner All the
religion he has is on his Cairo side, and
that is patent.
We wish to take time by the forelock
and suggest Mr.. John Gladney as a proper
person to receive the republican nomna.
