The Cairo bulletin. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1872-1878, 1874-06-11


Clements who say anything about this
movement, assert that the usages OF
the party entitled him to nomination
for second term. To this, Major
Muun's friends reply that Mr.. Glenn
ents is, in the first place, a cypher in
| the house, and, in the second place,
y. saasa, .--s- see-ssss- e----'sF'' s-------
tial fold after the igais-fatuw Of in
flation--has pinned his fortunes to
Senators Logan and Oglesby and is en-
deavoring to bring discredit upon the
administration; that, therefore, he is
not entitled to denomination and
ought to be retired. To the threats OF
the scattering Clements men,
that the great displeasure of
Messrs. Logan Il Co.will be visited upon
them, the Munnites respond, that those
gentlemen have about reached the end
of their tether-that they threatened to
remove Mr.. George Fisher from the Of
fee Of surveyor Of this port, because he
has persistently, from the commence
ment of the financial discussion, oppos-
cd imitation, but that they did not do so,
because they could not that the Mum
men will take the consequences Of
standing steadfastly by republican
president, who is faithfully adhering
to republican pledges made again and
again in state and national platforms, in
congress, from the stump and through
the press. And thus the controversy
stands at the present writing.
In justice to Majo Mum we should
say, he has had nothing to do with the
Inauguration Of this movement in his
interest he declares he is satisfied with
his present position, and that
policy requires the renomina-
ton Of Mr.. Clements-that he
is not and will not be candidate for
congress. We have no doubt he is
honest in making these declarations
that he means what he says but being
invited to run for congress is so much
like being invited to drink on hot
or cold day - the invitation
can be refused only with the
greatest difficulty it is there
fore probably that Major Mum
will, if the surroundings are favorable,
be like Julia when she was woed by
Don Juan, consent while saying; "No.'
Mr.. Pope, who is really the person
of modest mein who controls, withou
seeming to do so, the republican part.
Q of this district, is very circumspect il
: his utterances he is close as an oyster
i but there is the devil in his sly eye
he is a strong veto man, an uncompro
missing anti-infationist, and believes i
the issue were boldly made before thu
people in this district the presiden
would be sustained by large majority
Whether he will conclude to hav,
this issue made in the republi
can party of Egypt remains to be seen
At present his voice is for peace, bu
We are sure his thoughts are on wal
intent, and it is just possible he may
conclude to slaughter Mr.. Clements
If he should conclude to do it before
the republican convention, Major
Mum, will, without doubt, be the re-
publican nominee for congress in
this district if he determines to MOI
do SO until after the nomination hal
been made, the opposition candidate
will be elected if he concludes, at tn,
hattering instigation Of Senator Logan
to not rnetorically take Mr.. Clement
scalp because of that gentle
i mans greater devotion to Logar
than to Grant, that gen.
tleman may squeeze into con.
gress again, and have another term il
{ which to work out the problem of
How to make navigation on the Obi,
at the Grand Chain safe by the use o
y dogs as beacon lights at night an,
