The Cairo daily bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1870-1872, 1872-07-20

in Congress 10 not absolutely necessary TO
the salvation Of the country and II q mys-
tsrious Providence we're 70 suddenly cut
him of the world would actually 60 on
as IL did before without . great many
ripples disturbing the serenity Of the
public mind; Congress would convene
and the seat of the tour member" would
not be vacant because Wall had carried
with him into the cold and silent grave
all the ability and virtue and disinterested
patriotism of this district. We know Mr..
Walls particular friends in this city will
resent this plain language, and that 1t may
not have the effect Of preventing the
Wall mania from running its course like
the smallpox; but this is the time for
plain lang uags and we are in the habit Of
using it. These inconsidsrate friends Of
Mr.. Wall are for Mr. Wall because they
are his friends, aud because he 10 their
friend, and because they have heretofore
been his political and faetional partizans.
If we say 10 them; This is q battle in
(which we should all be united, and with
this quarrel of the Jones' Wall-Hartzslltri-
angle raging, we cannot be united there
fore, since we are rather the advocates Of
principles than the partisans Of individ-
'uals, let US abandon all these wranglers
and tako a new man" they reply to
US: "No; Wall, or death. II there are
any voters in this district who can't
unite on Wall, let them be blessed. We
prefer defeat with Wall to success with
somebody else" OF course all the Wall
men are not of this pattern but his pecu-
liar advocates are.
We regret to say it, but Gen. Jones
friends, led by Mr.. Henry Winter, Of this
city, are Of still sterner quality Of stub.
borness,, unreasonsbleness and fussiness.
They can see Jones in their eye, looming
into huge proportions, growing as big as a
very large elephant overshadowing the
small mortals who surround him, and
flaming a political meteor Of superior
brilliancy, eclipsing with its greater light
all the small stars like Wall and Hartzell.
We are aware OF the mixed character Of
this figure of speech, but it fully describes
the mixed condition of the Jonesisticsl
mind of Cairo, through which Jones
dances continually and Enthusiastically, AS
summing all kinds Of shapes, but always
appearing huge, like an elephant, bright
like . meteor, glorious like a charging
hero-never commonplace but always
sublime. Liberalism in Cairo, under the
influence Of the Winterish policy, which
is biting and nipping and We fear q
frosty policy, has become elevated from
the dull level of great cause up to the
high plain of Jonesism, in which word 10
wrapped all that Mr.. Winter, in his high.
est flights of fancy--even when about bis
head dance the vivid lightnings of stewed-
down patriotism-all that Mr.. Winter be-
lieves to DO Of the quintesenco of reform
In short, Mr.. Jones Cairo
friends have Mr.. Jones on the brain
Now, we know Mr.. Jones to be very
sensible gentleman, and he is not re.
sponsible for the indiscreet ardor if his
frisnds-not At all but that srdor has
done mischief, and since it may be accep-
ted as 3 palablo fact that there are a.
good fish in the sea rs ever were caught,
1t may also be declared that another man,

that other msu should be nominated in
stead of Jones. 1t may be necessary, in
this connection, to assure Mr.. Winter
that in the event we have indicated there
would be no upheaval Of the Arm ground,
the sea would not rush from its bed, the
heavens would not be rolled up blazing,
and the devil would not be to pay.
Mr.. Hsrtzell, who seems 10 be one of
those quiet gentlemen who 20 to work
without flourish and play unexplainable
prsnks with the public mind, has in this
contest had discreet friends who have To-
bored for him in an unobjectionable man
ner but he has, Notwithstanding his
discretion, become involved in the row,
and in his own county the factions are
tearing each others hair and cursing like
troopers. Besides this, Mr.. Hartzell
comes to US with the prestige of defeat
and, since the country might got on with.
