The Cairo bulletin. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1872-1878, 1876-06-16

made by Logan, Howard OF Michigan,
Fred Douglass aud Gen. Hawley Of Con-
necticut. were on the whole good efforts.
BIT the antltheses OF the occasion were
presented in the address OF the New
York Republican Reform club, read by
Geo. W. Curtis, aud the speech of Logan.
These two were as diverse as the two
men who presented them. Mr.. Curtis
paper was earnest and solemn
FLEA FOR REFORM.
Mr.. Logan's speech had not one word
of reform in it. 1t was all about the me-
ccssity for fighting the war over again {;
protecting the black man from the white
ku-klux Of the south, and what the
speaker called assassination of private
character. 1t was little queer to hear a
member OF the New York delegation
read a paper holding Roscoe Conkling
and President Grant responsible for the
low condition Of the federal civil service
in New York. 1t looked as though MIR.
Curtis had got into the delegation by
mistake. All the good points in the adj
dress were applauded by one element in
the house, and the strong points of Lo-
gal's speech by another.
THE ILLINOIS SENATOR'S SPEECH
gave emphasis to feature in the Repub-
lican programme alluded to in previous
dispatch-tlie revival of the old Anti
South spirit. One object OF this is to
divert popular attention from the public
abuses tiiat have grown up under Repub-
lican administrations the other is to
rescue the party from its present defen-
siye attitude and give is an aggressive
policy. Logan's speech had strong
flavor of the whisky ring. The yehe-
ment language about the assassination of
private character going on at Washing
ton, reminded one of the cutlery against
persecution raised by the st. Louis con-
spirators when the grandjury began to
turn out its indictments. At times
CURTIS ADDRESS
seemed to be aimed directly at Blaine,
and at times, too, Logan's speech seemed
aimed directly at Bristow. Hawley's
speech was significant for its admission
that the Republicans will need their best
man and all the advantages they can Sc
cure to succeed lie pointed to the in
creasng dissatisfaction of the country
with the fruits of the Republican policy
and told them plainly and bluntly that
they must nominate ticket whose per-
sonal character shall be a guaranty of
reform or else prepare to be beaten. The
selection of
M'PHERsoN FOR PERMANENT PRESIDENT
Il regarded as compliment from the
Blaine men TO Pennsylvania TO clynch the
delegation tor Blaine. Still it transpired
/ to-day that the Blaine party is not as safe
a. they would like to be made. They
are anxious to have additional guaran
tees. and with this object they to-day ap.
preached the Missouri delegation with
solicitations for their support. They
asked the Missourians TO 90 for Blaine
on the second ballot. The same propo
sition was male 20 two other States no
named. whose votes added 10 that o
Missouri, would place Blaine's nomina
| ton beyond the reach of accidt mt. Th,
Missourians did not bite, however. a
least they have not assented to the prop
osition up to this time, and they declar
they will not. At ten O'Clock to-nigl
affairs appear
MORE MIXED Up THAN EVER.
There il a preceptible revival of spirit
among The opponents OF Blaine, chief
among the Morton men. and they asser
now that Blaine cannot be nominated o
the second ballot ii he can at all. 10
gan's active espousal OF Blaine cause
remark. The Conkling men declar
that he was for their man week ago
Treasurer New Of Indiana declares tia
Logan has gone back on himself. Tw
dispatches received here to-day, on
from Secretary Chandler, and the othe
from Postmaster General Jewe
giving encouraging statements c
Mr.. Blaine's health puzzle people
They cannot understand why two men
bers of the cabinet should send encOul
agement TO the Blaine party when tn
administration is against him. The con
mittee on rules held a meeting to-nigl
and resolved that no
CHANGES OF VOTES
on q BALLOT shall he allowed. This
considered untriendly to Blaine, and hi
friends say they will change it at fulle
meeting of the committee tomorrow.

against the Boss Shepherd and Ere
Douglass delegation from the District
Columbia, and also against the Spence
delegation from Alabama.
