only few Of the Democrats Of the IVES,
were, he was in advance Of
the other leading Democratic poll
iiicians of Illinois, and with
rare forecast predicted the present
anomalous condition OF political affairs.
1t is true, that st the time we are speak
ing of, Mr.. Wall was an appreciative
reader Of The BULLETIN, and prompt
payer Of his subscription; but even after
he discontinued, in paroxysm of wrath,
10 take this great journal-after he had
discontinued reading it-he remained true
to his progressive ideas, which budded
into an endorsement of the "new
departure" and bloomed into
an enthusiastic advocacy of Lib
eralism and Horace Greeley. He
is, in short man Of ability, of enterprise,
of pure character, of sound politics; and,
while all this may be truthfully said of
his competitors, it is also fact that it can
not be claimed that they have in this dis
trict the extensive acquaintance of George
Wall They are comparatively strangers
in all the counties outside of Randolph,
but Wall is known in every county of
the district-known intimately, and
wherever known is respected and
admired. He would win from the Grant
candidate, on personal grounds, hundreds
of votes which neither Mr.. Hartzell nor
Mr.. Jones could obtain, and would get
the full strength of the Democratic party,
and large majority of the Liberal Re-
publican vote Of this district The Du
Quoin Tribune, the Radical paper of
Perry county, admits that the Republicans
have no man who can be successful in
Perry against Wall, and in every part of
the district the Radical leaders would re-
greet his nomination. That he would be
elected re have a strong hope-a hope
which is almost belief; which is, in fact
belief full grown and daily maturing
into perfect fruition.
1t is this belief, which, in the face of
the cruel unkindness Of Mr.. Walls
friends, has induced The BULLETIN to
advocate the nomination of Mr.. Wall.
We are patriotic in the matter. We have
taken ourself by the boot-straps, and have
lifted ourself above the entrance Of
the fact that Mr.. Wall and his friends
have never appreciated The BULLETIN,
and that he does not now draw political
light from its columns, unless he borrows
1t from his neighbors. We have blotted
out, in the cause of Liberal success, all re-
membrance of the past, and with full
knowledge of the fact, that by our present
course, We are doing violence to our per-
sonsl interests, we are for Wall against the
field, because we believe that he would be
the strongest and best candidate the Dem
ocrats and Liberals could nominate.
The BULLETIN is not religious jour
nal for nothing. 1t practices what it
breaches. 1t forgives those who trespass
against it, and when the men of wrath
strike it on one cheek it meekly turns the
other for the second blow. We take a
great deal of pride in our high moral and
religious suppression of personal prejudi,
ces, and feel inclined to ask the Who'll,
world to profit by our example.
