THE CAMPAIGN.

We read in many Of our Democratic ex-
changes OF this state well deserved words
of commentator as 10 the action Of the
Democratic State Central Committee and
in these the State Register heartily joins.
That committee, composed as it is of young,
active, earnest and vigorous men, is doing
its whole duty, but neither the action OF
the state committee, however vigorous, nor
praise of that action, no matter how well de-
served, will carry the state for the Democ-
racy in November.
In this district Hon. VIM. NJ. Springer
has begun the canvass early, and will push
il brisky. Hon. W. Z. Shut, our candi-
date for state senator, has a walk over"
but is already at work as are also Messrs,
Snigg and Tracy, our Legislative candidates
In the 18th congressional district, also
Judge Allen and other Democrats are max
ing a vigorous canvass, and Messrs. Cron-
krite and Euer are doing valued service
But beyond this we fail to see that activity
which is desirable. Every Democratic can
didate for congress or for the legislature
ought to be on the stnmp; every Democratic
candidate for county Office ought to be
among the people urging and eyhorting,
The Democracy Of Illinois made rat
Ting fight in 1876, and cut the Republican
majority down to a bcggaly six thousand
Another good, active, lively, stirring can
vass this fall will elect our state candidates,
give us the Legislature, Democratic sena-
tor in place Of Roaring Dick, and put
Illinois in the Democratic column of 1880.
We do not propose 10 recount the errors
made in 1876, but everybody knows that if
we had had Gen Farnsworth, or Black, or
Parsons, or Mr.. Oberly. or jim Robinson, at
the head of our ticket, then Hon. Shelby
NJ. Cullon would still be president Of the
State National Bank and everybody
knows that all that is necessary to
make clean sweep of the state
this fall is an aggressive canvass. If
any other policy was ever desirable it
is not so now. The Democratic party has
nothing to conceal, nothing to apologize
for, nothing to explain away. The Demo-
cratic doctrine as enunciated in the state
platform, is beyond question popular with
the people, and though it is true that some
Democrats do not heartily approve all the
expressions Of that platform, it is also true
that such Democrats are most earnest and
active in their efforts to carry the state.
We urge the Democrats therefore all
over the state to begin the good work at
ono, ;, to make the canvass AS open, bold
and active AS possible, and the state Of IL
linois is oursA

house. It had frontage Of eight hundred
feet, and large portion of it was three sto-
ries in height; theremander was two stories
high. A wall inclosing four acres Of land
surrounded the buildings. In the yard was
a four-story building, which had but one
opening in the north wall-that was door
in tho lower story. Within tins enclosure
DR.. Bucklcr was unremitting in his labors
for cleanliness. From the cellars to the
attics there was scarcely a sign Of dirt to
be found. On the eth Of July DR.. Buckler
was astounded to find case Of pestilence
in an old inhabitant of the house. This
case was rapidly succeeded by other cases.
On the first -four of the four-story building
seventeen lunatcs were kept. Every one of
them died of the pestilence, while there
was not case of il in either Of the other
three stories, all of which were filled with
occupants. The disease continued to in
crease, while the city of Baltimore was free
from it. On July 10Th DR.. Buckler called a
meeting of the governors of the aims
house, and urged that tents should be pro-
cured and set up on the farm. The meet
ing adjourned without taking any action.
Dr. Buckler was much chagrined by his
disasters. He walked along the front of
the building TO the corner of the wall,
which commanded view of the outside of
the negro hospital. He walked up to the
spot, and found full explanation ef the
fatality in that hospital-a very filthy pig
pen and an overfowing cesspool. Dr. Buck
Ter continued his walk to the corner of
the wall, and obtained view of what he
had supposed was the drainage of that
part of the wall. The space in view was
500 feet in length, with width of seventy
feet, which dwindled down to nine feet at
the other corner of the wall. This entire
space was marsh, because there was not
any drainage into rayine at the side Of
the mass of vegetable filth, the dimensions
of which we have given. He was satisfied
that the disease Of the Alms-house was no
longer a mystery. He went back into the
grounds of the house, and walked up to
the space between the four,story building
and the wall, and found the cesspool had
oyerfowed the space. The open door, of
which We have spoken, opened Immediately
at this spot. Eighty persons elopcd from
the Alms-house during the pcstilence, nine
ty-nine of the inmates died with the dis
ease, while Baltimore remained free from it.
DR.. Buckler changed this state of things by
drainage and filing up the ground at the
Aims house and perfectly arrested the
disease.

THE Sangamo Monitor which advocated
last fall with ability and discretion the In
dependent Greenback movement now warns
voters against it as a plan traught with
danger. 1t says that the notion never en-
tered any reasonable mans head that the
Independents could effect a success for
themselves alone; but by judicious COM
bnaton here and there, they could show
their power sufficiently to prove they might
if they chose, be dangerous, and so drive
their antagonists into recognition of their
interests. This they have done. The In
dependents of last fall were not the only
ones who were Greenback men or Working
men, and the Greenback and Workingmen
in both of the other parties were at cnmity
with the Independents only in still
hoping for something from their
own political houses. Further on
the writer inquiries, in speaking of the
coming campaign, "where is the honor or
the use in attempting to vote with the In
dependent party that cannot elect its nomi-
nees and that is virtually attempting to
defeat the men who profess the same prin-
ciples and who can be elected 10y infuen.

nees; they can be elected and must carry
their professions into practice, And again,
the one thing necessary to the success of
the liberal principles is their support by a
large and thoroughly organized party.
This the Independents have not got and
the Democrats have The argument is all
on the side of the support of the Demo-
cratic ticket by the complete Grcenback
party and it is the only means of success.

by many, one or more of the radical candi-

there will be heavy falling away in VA

MAINE elects governor and members OF
congress tomorrow, or, rather, elects mem
bers of congress and votes for governor.
The latest indications are that Connor Re-
publican candidate, may not be elected by
the people. He will still become governor
as there is no doubt the Legislature will be
Republican. OF members of congress it
has been thought the combined opposition
to Radicalism would secure two-those
from the First and Fourth districts. In the
First district the Democrats have nomin-
ated one of the ablest and most popular
men in the state, General Anderson, and his
election would not only be gain to the party
in the state, but the addition of an infuen-
tial Democrat to our majority in the next
house. The Greenback- Labor National
party will first test its strength in this state,
and much of its future prospects will de-
pend upon the result. The vote will be the
largest cast for many years.

GEN. Z. N. BATES, National candidate
for state treasurer spoke at the courthouse
lastnight. Weregrett that the times about here
just now are not propitious for political
gatherings, or, indeed, for any kind of
gatherings. While we do not indorse all the
doctrines advocated by the general and do
not wish him political success in this
triangular fight we were anxious that he
should be greeted with large audience
and with that spirit of good cheer and
fairness toward strangers for which the peo-
pie of Cairo are proverbial. Gen.
Bates is fnelooking gentleman,
of polished manners and refined exterior,
and is said to talk fuently and discuss with
freedom and fairness. He is product of
the study, soft-handed and tair-featured.
To outdoor manuel labor of every kind, his
whole life must have been a stranger; and
yet he is the choice Of those who claim to
be the only real workers in the land
the horny handed per Sc. Of course the
general does not expect to be elected treas
urer, but does hope to succeed Mr.. Oglesby.
If the combinations should throw a National
to the surface, General Bates would be an
excellent choice, but The BULLETIN is al
ready committed upon this point. If it is
a National it must be Comings or nothing,
and we don't care which. There can be no
compromise on this.

to master Bannon's tricky delivery and fell
easy victims to the National felders. Kenney,

of anxiety was manifested by the spectators
for fear the change might be disastrous to the

victory in their minds and nothing short Of a
miracle could have prevented the fulfllment
Of their desire. II is the unanimous voice Of

ever played here. Each man works hard to
