WHAT WE EXPECT.

We expect liberal patronage from the
people of Cairo. In our efforts 10 provide
them with good local paper we have been
compelled to expcnd large sum Of money
to us big bonanza; and we shall be UNI
able to stand if the helping hand Of the
public is retained from US. So far, we have
little to complain about. Almost every cit
izen, who has had IN opportunity, has Civ
en- us encouragement-not few Of them
encouragement of the substantial kind.
Our columns will show who are the bust
ness men to whom we are indicted for more
than verbal support.

The Alton Democrat is Of the opinion that
Sam Randall, speaker of the Democratic
House of Representatives, is about TO be-
come political corpse. The Democrat is
mistaken. Mr.. Randall has about him an
immense amount Of political vitality, He
will live to dance upon the political graves
of many Of the men who are now denouncing
him. We have no sympathy with the mean
campaign Of SANDER and denunciation OF
Speaker Randall, inaugurated by the men
he defeated for the Spcakership.

HARMAN FOR APPELLATE CLERK.

HARTMAN FOR APPELLATE CLERK
We believe John Q. Hartman should re.
ceive the nomination of the Ceptraia Dem.
ocratic Convention for Appellate Clerk. He
is, in every way, qualified for the place
and as the choice of lower Egypt should
receive the Endorsement of the Democratic
party. The lower part of the State has
been very badly treated by both parties.
1t has been made to hew political wood
and draw political water but it has only
on rare occasions been permitted to get at
the political flesh pots. The Democrats of
this Grand Division have now an oppor-
tunity to make some reparation for the un-
kindness with which the party has treated
the Democrats of the Eighteenth District.
BY the nomination of Hartman they can
make the score even, and secure to the
Appellate Court the best clerk that could
be found in the State.

FOR SUPREME .IUDGE.

The First Judicial District Of this State
is composed of the following counties: st.
Clair Clinton, Washington. Jefferson, Ed
wards, Wayne, Wabash, White, Hamilton,
Franklin, Perry, Randolph, Monroe, Jack
son, Williamson, Saline, Gallatin, Hardin,
Pope Union, johnson, Alexander, Pulaski
and Massac. At this time the district is
represented on the Supreme Bench by Hon.
Sidney Brcese, Il venerable and distinguish
ed iurist and statesman. On the first Mon
day in June, 1870, Judge Breese's term of
office will expire, and on that day the pco-
pie of the First District will elect his sue
cessor. Full of years and honors, he will
probably retire at the end Of his present
term Of office and obtain that rest his de-
clining years 50 much require. 1t will
therefore become the duty Of the FirseDis-
trict to put into the place on the bench
made vacant by the retirement Of Judge
Breese man who will adon it. as he has
done, by profound learning in the law, iu-
dicia acumen Of high order and inticxi-
bic integrity. Such man may, in
our opinion, he found in the person
of Judge John II. Mulkey, OF this city,
gentleman wcll-known throughout the
State as q lawyer Of unQuestioncd ability.
Within the circle Of our acquaintance We
know Of no other man possessed Of 50
many of the qualities Of mind and heart
essential to the judicial position and
among the members of the bar who know
him. he is generally acknowledged 10 be
one of the best and most learned lawyers of
Illinois. In our opinion, made up by no
partial contemplation Of his requirements,
he stands at the head of his profession in
Southern Illinois. There are other men
who can excel him in some of the qualities
Of mastership at the bar; but none are
more thoroughly vcrscd in the principles of
jurisprudence, or have more Of the disting-
uishing marks of what has been called the
judicial mind. Added to his legal quail
tications are all the other qualities that 90
to make up the good judge; and we have
no doubt that, if he should be elected to
Judge Brccsc's place, he would distinguish
himself and honor the bAlch. He is now
in the maturity Of his intellectual powers,
and has arrived at that time of life and
professional service when place on the
highest bench Of the State would not he, in
all probability, an unpleasant position to
him. We hope the office may seek and find
him.
