ers that dog the steps Of any woman who
attains distinction or notoricty,' This may
be true Of the young men who live in Mrs.
June's ncighborhood; although the suggcs-
ton conironts us that perhaps the stock of
girls around there might possibly furnish
an explanation of the conduct of the "sappy
Youths Around here these charges
would be laughed at. Indeed, if mani mess
consists making love, we can justly claim for
Cairo some of the finest specimens of man
hood on the planet. simultaneously with
the appearance of a good hard frost our
young men set in and devote themselves to
the pleasant task of making love in the
most miscellaneous and impartial mauner.
In the spring they haul off and during the
summer vacation find time 10 ponder over
their experiences of the winter before. The
result of this is there is very little marrying
in haste, or for the matter of that, marrying
of any kind, but when we do have a social
event." of this nature the parties to it mean
what they say when they subscribe to that
awful sentence 'tor better or for worse"
The little appendices Of the years to be fol-
low in the course of human events, and if all
other cXtraneous means fail, we know that
We have within ourselves the elements of
making Cairo rich, pleasant and populous
city. And it is this that inspires us with
hone.

THE Du Quoin Tribune saws:

| The Democratic Journals Of this dSl,ct don't
say in So many words, yet they infer that Judge
Allen is poor man and unable 10 pay his taxes,
and they therefore want to send him 10 congress
that he may be enabled TO satisfactorily adjust an
claims, We had always supposed that an honest
| Congressman didn't make mucn out Of the Office.
An honest Congressman does not make
much out ofthe office, and Judge Allen, al
though member of that body at one time
still remains comparatively poor man
In this respect he is unlike Secretary Sher-
man, for instance, who entered con
gress poor man, and is
now amillionaire The secretary it may
also he observed pays no taxes on the bulk
of his property-it is exempted United
States bonds. He is also unlike Blaine. of
blessed Mulligan-letter and Pacific. bond
notoriety; unlike Garfield of Credit Mobi-
liar fame: Coltax with his knowledge Of how
to manipulate envelope contracts; Pomeroy,
unctuously pleading for honesty, with both
hands in land-grahhng schemes; Minnesota
King, the mcmbcr-lobbyist OF Pacific
MALL Cakes Ames, Belknap, and
many Others, as the Peter Funks would
say, too numerous TO mention. The T ibunc
is right-hone.t congressman do not make
much out of the office and consequently
Allen retired poor. " is the other sort of
fellows who make the office pay hy prosti-
tut'rg it to the purposes Of rich corporations,
bondAoldars and rhe monied Interests
Of the country. Tieir name is
legion and most Of them to-day are
leaders Of the Tribuue's party in both
houses of congress. Judge Allen is
poor, and like many poor man in these
times, felt unwilling TO throw good money
after bad. The county of Jackson ha,
all along been secure in its claim against
Judge Aliens property for taxes, and if il
has not been collected it is the fault of the
official whose duty il is to protect the in
tercsts of the state and county in tax mat.
ters The people Of this district are able to
distinguish between the pooiness of Il Demo
cratic eX-congrcssmcn and the dishonesty of
Republican congressman who, unfortunately
for the county have yet TO have the TEX
prctixed to their titles.
The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1878-08-24

The Democracy are working every card possible
in hopes of securing the votes Of the Nationals OF
the 18th District. for Allen IN this they will fa'l,
as the Nationals want something besides green
backs IN theirs.
The voters in the ranks of the Nationals
want grcenbacks in theirs, and can find the
right kind by assisting ;hc Democrats in
electing Judge Allen. Nationals of the
Ingram-Stelley-Dav stripe want Office in
theirs and hope 10 obtain it by duping
Democrats. Failing in this they Will
throw their forces to Thomas With them
it is any thing TO beat Allen. who is contes-
sedly the ablest exponent of grcenback
doctrines now running for congress in this
state.

Cart. THOMAS effort at the Athcncum
Thursday night was a failure. We do not
say this because some people imagine il to
he the duty of Democratic paper TO say
so in any event, but because Republicans
and Democrats alike who heard it agree in
this opinion Capt. Thomas is raw in his
manner has the fault OF all young speakers
in growing eloquent and dcclamatory
on slight provocation and often in the
wrong place, while his meta
phors are far-fctchcd and crude.
The captain cannot argue. When he at
tcmpts to do so he is lost. This was
noticeable in the apparent indisposition
with which he talked on living issues, the
embarrassment he labored under while
doing so, and the real pleasure he seemed
to feel when he could in any way, without
being conspicuouSly abrupt, leave them to
give the CORY garment IN extra tSlrl. He
tells aged anecdotes in humorous and
spirited manner, and when we have said
this we have reached the
limits Of just praise. The mat
ter of his speech i, bad
bad jud ing from Republican stand
point, and if he repeats
it throughout the district he will be beaten
badly even by Davis. This may seem Il
rash statement, but we were never more
serious in our life. lie starts out by tracing
the Republican party back to Adam, and
then merrily skips over its history from tina,
remote period to 1856, when he informs lis
it was in its infancy. This protracted in
FAINT jumps into full and vigorous manhood
in 1860, reversing the normal condi.
tons of growth, and figuring AZ
a freak in the dcvelopm ent Of par.

speeches made. Conversions are taking
place among those who have been steadtast
Republicans since the organization of the
party, while Democrats who went over to
the Nationals are returning to the old
fold in scores. One of the best features of
the canvass is the system which prevails in
Democratic management. Everything runs
smoothly, and all Democrats cheeriully dis
charge whatever tasks may be allotted to
them. Judge Green, chairman Of the cen
trail committee, seems to have inspired his
lieutenants with something of his animating
spirit, and the consequence is we are having
the best managed campaign on the Demo-
cratic side that the Eighteenth has known
since the memorable one which retired our
friend Mum from active politics in this
end of the state.

"PIRATES SAILING UNDER FALSE
COLORS.n
Valley Clarion

The air is pregnant with the sound of
boastful schcmers, working in the interest
Of local political candidates, claiming that
the National, ~ the "Grccnback" party
is the winning card, the prominent political
organization-whcn sincerely their main
object is to deliver the voter over to their
own local candidate, MS primary consider
alton, and secure his vote for representa-
tive or congressional candidate that has no
show for election. Thus they hope to sue
coed in depicting the Democratic ranks,
and adding TO the Republican chances of
success. They are pirates sailing under
false colors They are in the main broken
down politicians, who have no expectation
to reap anything farther from the parties
that have hitherto served them, and now
ANONYMOUSLY desert their crafts and heap
calumny upon them.

ties, He proceeds then to read from the
record the votes Of Judge Allen while in
congress, nearly a score Of years ago, upon
the issues Of those times, TIE captain, as
well ms all other Republican orators and the
Republican press Of this district can spare
themselves u great deal Of trouble by not at
tempting to prove how Judge Allen voted
while in congress. We will admit he voted
for every everything they say he did. We
will 20 further and concedc, if they wish US
to, that he was in league with jeff DAYS,
and had Il hand in injecting northern cities
with the yellow scourge--in short, we will
admit the very worst that can be said against
the man. Democrats are not fighting those
old battles over again. The issues of that
time are dead, and there are no restricting
powers left in the bloody shirt. II Capt.
Thomas will address himself to the Ques-
tons of the hour, Democrats will find time
To scuss with him. His defamation
against the hostility OF the Democratic
party to grcenbacks in their infancy, does
not Justify the present attitude of his party
toward them, or the present position Of
the Democratic party on the subject, He OPP
posed the repeal Of the resumption act, and
begged the national bank question
amid Il confusion of figures. These are
only the outlines of his
speech, but they will convey fair idea
of the general drift of what he said. The
captain, like Davis, his opponent, needs
Democratic literature, and Democratic
discplining, 1t is not surprising to us
that Thomas has refused to meet any Dem
ocrat in debate.

While we regret that Or. Rauch expressed his
opinion on this matter so freely we do not forget
that he isa state officer and as such does not talk
about Cairo as one of our home ply Sicidns word.
That he is a state officer is precisely what
IHE BULLETIN does MOI forget, and is just
what the doctor himself should not have
forgotten when he so hippantly ex-
pressed an opinion that has Just started the
rounds not only of the press of this state,

DOING DIRTY WORK.

Ingram, a greenbackcr and publisher OF
the industrial Tribune, is doing dirty work
for the Republicans. Before Ingram made
hls pretended reformation he was one ofthc
most uncompromising Republicans in the
country, and the fact is, he stands to-day
where he stood four years ago; he is in the
employ Of the Republican parry, but is
playing ms hand by putting on the dis
guisc of Grcecnback rcformcr, 50 that he
may catch unwary Democrats draw them

try is good, though there is an is"la'
