The Cairo bulletin. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1872-1878, 1874-04-12

cssionslly use plain language in the coun-
Gil, and this lead. me - believe that, If he
had q council composed Of men who were
either in sympathy with him and
would move forward, or who
we're opposed TO him and would
null backward, he would awaken TO re-
aiizing sense of the fact that! upon the
mayor, chiefly, the interests OF the city at
this time depend. Therefore l wish TO
have elected 70 the council men Of
snerey-men with sand In their craws.
II don't know who tho candidates for
sldermen are, and therefore cannot dis
cuss their merits and dement's If you
will permit me, 4 will review the csn-
didates when they have publicly an
nounced themselves.
| INoTE.--Wo have no objection; bu, would
| suggest that our CORE pOndent IL OflendiDgly
blunt. and may make some person angry We
| shall. of course, feel at liberty 10 give his
| name 10 any one his remarks may offend and
VINO wishes TO whip him. We are almost
persuaded to demand little satisfaction our
sell.
The rscs between Hittebhouse and
Blake promises TO be lively. Mr. Kitten
house IL confident, but Mr.. Blake is
industrious and active and has hopes of de-
feating his opponent. But, it Is said
so ! have been told.--thst Mr.. Thomas
Halliday will yet announce himself ss a
candidate. Knowing ones say, that Mr..
II. Meyers induced Mr.. Rittenhouse to
run, 30 that his scat might be made vacant
in the council and he filed by lowell
cense man; that Mr.. Rttenhouse's can
didacy crowded Mr.. Halliday off the
track, and that Mr.. Halliday's friends are
50 ''soro" they are ondosvoring to induce
HIM TO announce himself as II candidate
and go into the canvass vigorously. II he
should do so, shall stand back and enjoy
the glorious fight that will result.
of course Mr.. Webb will be elected
city attorney. He has flied tho office &C.
csptAbly; and, the truth is, his law bust
ness has been ruined almost by the fact
that he took the place when ho did. l
think he ought 10 DO retained another
year At least. Mr.. Black, his opponent,
10 a young man whose time will come
He has tslont and learning and with a
few more years upon his head will com.
msnd the suiirsges Of the people for AL
most any Office he may desire to obtain.
lNoTE.-It will be seen by Mr.. Freeman :
card published in an other column, that Mr..
| William scott, the colored saloon man, will
| Ia. 70 n IN in In frat
ward. Mr.. Scott is, as Mr.. Freeman has said,
| a sly gentleman. lie is u necessity to the
republicans OF this city. and will probably
receive the support Of the leading White
men of that party. Major Mum dare not
oppose him, and Mr.. Pope will not. Mr..
Fisher may. We think he will. Mr.. scott
attempted to elect u coiored man TO Mr..
Fishers seat in the board of education, and
Nc. Fisher may come to The conclusion that
revenge is sweet. and support white man
against Mr.. Scott.l
THE REVIVAL.
--THE BULLETIN said some time ago, In
> its cynical manner, that the revival OF re-
, ligion In this city had been remarkable
manifestation Of divine power. l under
, stood the sneeri but, notwithstanding al
your covert bitterness, you will yet be com.
PEELED to admit that our revival was in
deed a remarkable supernatural NANTES.
tation Say what you may, tho powcr OF
God IS made manifest in the affairs of the
world, tact which even you inddels
and scofisrs VIII 10 laughing nj
the divine mystery, admit, by your blind
cropping after the secrets OF tho other side
Of the river of death-by your belief In
every wonderful manifestation of power
you cannot comprshend-by your cry,
almost Departing, for Light more
light" You doubt the Word, because
you say it isunreaso nsble, but you believe
that Denton has clasped the hand of q
dead sister, you believe that spirits take
up pencils and write messages to earthly
friends upon states held under tables
you believe that spirit power strikes blows
upon tables and other substancss-you
believe that you can see the forms Of
spirits and hear their voices. /. this not
more wonderful than the miracles Can
you doubt that the blessed Savior up,
pesred after death to His deciples when
you believe that spirits can be seen even
in this day. You are unreasonable. The
Prince of Darkness has hardened your
heart, and your conversion is despaired of
Pentacostal tongues of lire might call
you TO light and induce you TO walk in
the ways of holiness, along which stant
the trees of everlasting life full of th'
: fruits of good deeds, charity and kind Ii
ness, out without their eloquence with
out tho saving power which is as mysteri
GUS as the wonders Of spiritism-you mus
continue to wander on stumbling IN tn,
L darkness of doubt. -
