over what it is pleased to term "huge
Joke" perpetrated upon the Hon. VIM.
NJ. Springer. A young man, connected
with one ofthe State offices, wrote to Mr..
Springer that several of his friends had
obtained from Senators Logan and Ogles-
by, free passes to the Centennial. with
letters oi introduction to the Centennial
directors. "lf." the yonng man argued,
'my Republican friends can obtain such

the form ot the passes: the name OF the
parties TO whom they had been issued,
and If both Logan and Ogl"sby had been
issuing them. The young mans friends
finally confessed that they had received
no passes from our senators, and that the
whole thing was n hoax. This iniorma-
lion was impaired to Mr.. Springer. and
there the matter ended. There was moth

We cant "speak by the card" but sup

Cairo asked Of congress an appropria-

THE MAN r0R THE PLACE.

The recent suggestion of the BULLETIN
that eX. Mayor Thomas Wilson be made
the Democratic nominee Tor a seat in the
State Board of Equalization. meets with
universal favor. Ii cannot be denied
that. while hc was a member Of That
board, he effected such reductions in the
assessment of taxable property in South
ern Illinois as placed us upon . footing
with the tax payers of, a, least, the cc'I-
iral portions of the State. and thus less
ened the total of out taxes many thou.
sands Of dollars. Upon the town and
city lots of Alexander county he secured
a reduction of fifty per cent, and no
county in the district had occasion to
complain OF the result Of his labors. lie
was the most influential member OF the
board, because he was the best informed
and most industrious. In his work we
lind the proof of the fact. and
in the labors OF his successors we find
convincing evidence of their utter un-
fitness Tor the position, and their deplor-
able lack of Information and industry.
This, we believe, is the verdict of both
Republicans and Democrats. Why, then.
may not both Republicans and Demo
crats, unite in a call upon him to become
a candidate Tor the same Office next Fall
The office is not n political One-thc in
