Founded on Rock

The disappointed adventures who have from
time to time attempted to run their worthless
potiOns against brakes Plantation BtterS, vow
that they can not understand what foundation
there is for its amazing popularity. The ex-
PLANTATION is simple enough. The reputation of
the world-renowned tonic is founded upon a
rock, the rock of experience. All its ingre-
dients are pure and wholesome. How, then,
could tricksters and cheats expect to rival it
with compounds of cheap drugs and refuse IL
quor, or with iquOrless trash in II state of
acetous fermentation? OF course the char
latans have come to grief. Their little
game has failed. Their contempt for the sagac-
ity Of the community has been fifty punished.
Meanwhile Plantation Bitters seems to be in a
fair way of eventually superseding every other
medicinal preparation included in the class to
which it belongs. In every State and Territory
of the Union it is to-day the accepted specific
for nervous debility, dyspepsia, fever and ague,
rheumatism, and all ailments involving a def
cheney of vital power.

THE POPULATION OF PARIS.

The census Of Paris, taken in 1871, has
just been made public. II shows that the
population of the city at that time was
l,794,3so. According TO all calculations
based on the quinquennial census, IL 10
shown that the population of Paris in 1871
should have been Just about 100000 so
that Paris lost by war and La Commune
at least 100000. Such a loss is easily ex.
planned. When the war broke out at least
100, 600 people of German birth, who had
come 10 live in Paris, and were among its
most useful and industrious inhabitants,
were compelled to leave. Probably $4,000
people of Paris persisted in the war with
Germany, In that Of the Commune, and OF
starvation, disease and general misery
brought on during the siege. The pros
tration Of business drove thousands more
TO other cities, as soon as they could get
away from Paris, and the overthrow of
the Empire and the removal of the seat of
government to Versailles, can easily ac-
count for enough more departures to swell
the whole number, to at least, 2OO,O
This actual loss Of inhabitants, most of
whom we're useful and prosperous, is part
of the heavy price Paris has had to pay
for the war which her populdce and press
were mainly instrumental in bringing on.
When, in addition, the destruction of
public buildings and monuments, the loss
Of trade, the depreciation of property and
the share in the burdens of taxationi that
the war indemnity imposes, are all con-
sidered, it really seems us If Paris had
rather more than her share of suffering for
the folles and crimes that brought 80 much
trouble on France.

tween Messrs. Wall, Hartzell and Jones, Is
attracting the attention of all parties, and II
Is claimed that the nomination of either of
the above will weaken the ticket. Now we
want every vote in this district, Liberal and
Democratic, and suggest we present new
candidate, who will draw this vote, aye, TO a
man. Every one will acknowledge his tit
ness and ability-John II. Oberly, ESQ.,, Of
Cairo. Yours Truly,
G!AYsoN.
REMARKS OF THE BuLLErIN.-This
will never dol We are personally ac-
quainted with Mr.. Oberly, and speak with
authority when we say he desires to have
his name kept with great carefulness
out Of the conventions to-day
and, in our own behalf We will
add, that we do not believe his nomination
either possible or desirable. The object
to be gained in selecting new candidate
would be harmony in the coalition" and
Mr.. Oberlys nomination would not con-
tribute to that object. He would receive
the hearty opposition Of gentlemen Of the
Democratic party who have some infu.
ence-of all the Democratic politicians Of
this city. Indeed, we have no doubt that
the suggestion of "Grayson" has acted
upon . number Of the Cairo managers
like cramp collie. The suggestion is decid-
eddy bad one. The gentleman named
above must be counted out of the race.

THE CONVENTIONS TODAY.

The Democratic and Liberal Republican
nominating conventions of this district
will meet to-day in this city, and we hope
and believe their deliberations will result
in harmonious action and the nomination
of candidate who will carry the district
BY large majority.
\Tte Democrats and Liberals can carry
thisdistrict, but to do so they must be uni
ted in harmony and influenced by an en-.
thusiastic desire to succeed. This consum.
nation may be reached by wise action in
the conventions to-day; but this action
cannot be hoped for unless the delegates
shall strip their minds of every considera-
ton which may induce them to vote for
this man because certain men are his
friends, or against that man because GER
tain men are opposed to him. Each dele.
gate should determine in bis own mind, af-
ter carefully considering the whole situa-
ton, which Of the men named would be
the strongest candidate, and vote for him
or, If the delegate should come to the con.
clusion that the wise policy is the nomina
ton Of some other man he should not hest
tate to advocate that policy. Neithe
Wall, Hartzell nor Jones has any right t,
the nominstion-any exclusive right, anc
should not receive it If the best Interests
Of the coalition cannot be conserved b,
the nomination. Indeed, if it should ap
pear to the delegates that a "new man
would contribute to strengthen the cosli
ton, the convention should not hesitate I,
tumble overheard the gentlemen who ar,
seeking the nomination, and put up as tn,
candidate some other person.
This is the true policy, and we feel com
PEELED to suggest it, but We do so believ.
ing that the thing is fired and that an evil
influence which has been as q mildew to
the party in this part of the State for
years, still dominates controls.
