below we Introduce WHAT uuIiUti VI
our contemporaries, during the past
week, published about the change in the
editorial management Of the BULLETIN.
We have assumed task that may, to the
superficial observer, appear easy and at
tractive. Experience has taught us that
editing small daily newspaper is more
arduous than filling any department on
large journal, where the labors are ju-
dciously divided. But since we are in the
harness, we will attempt to make the
BULLETIN useful to the Democratic party.

Mr.. John IL. Oberly NO doubt feels to-
day like heavy burden had been lifted
of his shoulders. For several years TO.
gether he has had the editorial control,
management aud responsibility OF the
Cairo Bulletin, and has concluded in view
of the multiplicity Of other duties that
have fallen to his share, that he will take a
rest, descend from the editorial three
legged stool, and until the present cam
paign is over, enjoy life, in looking after
other matters, mixing and mingling among

fro up and down the earth, like . roaring

him, and welcome his return
MIR. Obery's successor as editor of the
Bulletin, is his brother, Mr.. Cyrus S.
Oberly, gentleman, in every way, well
qualified for the position to which he has
been called. He is man of fine education,
much experience and has few superiors, as
a writer, in the West. We give him
hearty welcome, and can assure the read
ers of the Bulletin that Mr.. o. will make it
not only interesting and lively, but an
able exponent of Democracy.

Hon. j. ii. Oberly, OF the Cairo Bulletin,
retired from the editOrship Of that paper,
on account Of demands upon his time In
other departments, and gives place to Cyrus
5. Oberly. The fact is Mr.. Oberiy is too
candid man for the editor of Democratic
paper-if his own estimate is correct and
he should long ago have joined the Repub.
licans.

John II. Oberly has retired from the ed
itor-hip of the Cairo Bulletin. We are
afraid that John had "too many irons in the
fire." The newspaper business is an exceed.
ingly jealous business, and will tolerate no
| divided love. II man would succeed in
| the professional and business part Of .
newspaper, he must give il his whole time
days, nights and Sundays, must know nc
family, no friends, no society-must give i,
his undivided AMI persistent attention.
Any other course means failure.
