The Cairo daily bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1870-1872, 1872-03-29

-Conductor Cormick denies that any
woman, the drunkest or the sobcrest, was
struck by any locomotive of his train near
st. Johns or any other station, two or
three days ago, or two or three months
ago. Something like the circumstance
related by The BULLETIN occurred somc-
where on the Illinois Central or some
other road, two or three years ago-prob-
ably. The fact lie, we were imposed upon.
Next Monday evening the st. Pat.
ricks Benevolent society's ball and supper
will be held at Scheers Washington hall
garden. The committee of arrangements
have spared neither time nor expense in
their endcavors to make IL an occasion
that all who attend may enjoy. The SER
vices of good string band have been
engaged to furnish music for those who
wish to dance. 1t is anticipated that there
will be large attendance.
A man, the head of family, and,
when sober, n right good sort Of fellow,
was "scared out of his wits night before
last, by the sound of policeman's whis-
tie. He was, rs usual, "full, up to the
neck, and making noise enough for half
, dozen men in his condition. Chief
! Myers heard him, and in order to quiet
e and induce him to go home. sounded his
t whistle. With the fear of the calaboose
before his eyes, the drunken wretch star
. ted for home and no more noise was heard
from him that night.

nagere, which was to have exhibited in
this city on the 22d, of this month, but
was prevented from doing so by the in
clemcncy of the weather. will show in
this city on the 18th of next month. Ev-
. everywhere this mammoth concern
has exhibited, it is spoken of in the highest
terms as one of the best exhibitions trav-
cling. In consideration of the ill-luck at

it is to he hoped that better success will
attend them upon their return.
The Sun has concluded to take the
- city printing, and will probably succeed.
m Ii can afford to do the work for nothing,
u
!, fair price and believes its bid Of last year
very low. With its present light it must
stick to its old figures, and if the council
compels it to bid against the Sun, which
$. is not entitled to the printing half as
IN much as THE BULLETIN, the Sun will
- probably come out with flying colors. We
ask the Sun to make a note of this asser
ton, and go in on its little muscle.
= "A few of the radical members of thu
,g, city council headed by Councilman WOOD
attempt to lug politics into every move
- ment-and do; and what is remarkable
number of democrats are too blind to Sc
the fact and appreciate it. All through
the citizens movement the democrat
49,, have acted in the most perfect good faith
and in the city council rise entirely abov
partisan prejudices; but several republi
al cans, and in particular Mr.. Wood, per
sst in bringing politics into he chambe
to and in seeking to determine all question
m by the touchstone of: "Will it be a goot
thing for the republicans ?" This is not a
a it should be.
ne The great and good councilman, inc
Wood, has scheme in his brain out o
Ter which he proposes to bring grand result
&c, for the city Of Cairo. Preliminary to tn
development of this wonderful measur,
St. he must secure control of the mayor
els shoes, and he is now considering whethe
lot il is best to take Mayor Lansden's durin
that gentleman's term or wait until ne,
,rs spring and obtain Mr.. Jake Bradley
in countenance in an open canvass for tn
nv position. We shall observe the gentl,
mans movements, and keep the anxior

20 should conclude not to come to any deteI
mination Cairo would lose golden oppol
tunity to take her legitimate positio

The Sun has the mpudcnce to a

before the Sun took any position Til
'hs BULLETIN advocated Il continuance of III
hu old administration, and Mayor Lansde
H. took occasion to then inform us that h

to and Mr.. Lansden concluded to forego h
'er objections to the OF fice and accept il agaiI
'e- The BULLETIN was not compelled I
support Mayor Lansden, and event
la proved that he was a d.
ed cidedly weak candidate. Colon,

&c, not by any means popular man in Cairo
showed him to the wall, and came with
be few votes of beating him, is not, to sa

told LaLsden to run, and should therefor
