the regard of the citizens of Cairo for

her regular line of business, it is dcsigLed
that she will be used for picnic and other
similar occasions. Cities of larger growth

The increased price offered for laborers
by the Cairo and st. Louis railroad COM
psny has had the effect Of lessening, to
some extent, the force on other roads.
We are glad to be able to add, however,
that the contractors on the Cairo and Vim
cennes road work respectable forces and
are making very fair Roadway. After the
first day of next July the necessities of the

II THR State convention that is 10 meet
at Springfield on the Goth instant, puts II
strong compromise ticket in the field
ticket that shall ignore neither Northern
nor Southern Illinois, Illinois will pass to
the control of the Liberal party. The
different sections of the State will, we are
sure, delegate their best and wisest men to
act for them, and if harmony and good
counsel prevail, we shall have no appre-
tensions as to the result, when the work
of the convention shall be submitted to the
people.
We are confident that Egypt will go
into the convention with full determine
alton to frame such ticket as will COM
mand the enthusiastic support of Liberal
Republicans and Democrats, and the re-
spect, at least, of the opposition. Know.
ing something Of the relative popularity
and general fitness of the several gentle
men who have been spoken Of in connec.
ton with places on the ticket, we feel war
ranted in saying that the Egyptian delega-
ton may safely ask that John Q. Hartman,
ESQ., of Alexander county, be rendered
the nomination for the Office Of secretary
of state. His superior qualifications are
acknowledged, not only in Southern Hi.
nois, but throughout the state, and we as.
sert what no man will deny when we say,
that the Democracy would unite in his
support, cheerfully and enthusiastically
We have nothing to say on the score Of
"Egypts claims" We propose to lend
the ticket hearty support in almost any
event, but We do say that the nomination
of Mr.. Hartman would greatly strengthen
the ticket in Southern Illinois, without de-
tracing anything from II in other sections
In that spirit Of compromise that will and
must prevail, the Liberal Republicans
will como up in solid philany to Mr.. Har.
mans support, while the Democratic Gle.
ment Of the Liberal combination, will
vote for him to man.
