The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-02-22

THE combined monopolists, corruption
lists and bond-hoding arstocrats Of the
country will, as predicted by the st. Louis
Dispatch, raise an immense corruption fund
whercwith to foist Grant upon the Republi-
can party as its candidate in 1880. With
the vast sum thus provided, an effort will
be made to buy the Greenback and Com
munistc clement into the folly Of nomina-
ting tickets of their own If this effort is
successful the Democrats may lose the
election, and Grant again be elevated to the
presidency Of the United States. If there
are but two tickets, Democratic victory is
assured. Grants hopes, therefore, all de-
pend upon the possibility Of third or
Grcenback movement in 1880. And to-day
this does look very unlikely. The Green
back movement died when the grccnback
became equal to gold. Grants chances
depend upon the Grccnbackers and green
backs. But in straight fight against the
Democratic candidate, without any flank
or third movements to assist him, his over
whclming defeat is certain.

flrnleCl.

REPUBLICAN newspapers are eternally
prating about what "thc country owes to
Grant" With the San Francisco Exam
iner thinking men have arrived at the con.
clusion that the account is so largely over
paid that Grant can never cancel his in
dcbtedness to the country. "lIe owes more
to this country than any other American
ever did; owes what he can never repay.
The disgrace OF the Grant era iii our poll
itical history, its degradation of national
character, its furnishing Of national reputa
ton, its prostitution Of the highest offices to
the basest ends, its corruption of every de-
partment of the public service, its poison
ing Of public morals, and finally its crea-
ton of fraudulent executive to which is
Transmitted its disgraced sceptre, all these
are charged against Grantism, and so long
as this damning record stands, the honest
people Of the country will be in no temper
to hear Of Indebtedness to Grant"
The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-02-22

Mr.. MURAT HALsTEAD, Of the Cincin-
matt Commercial, formally dominates John
Sherman for the presidency in letter to
the Cleveland Herald, as follows; "The
people always rush to see whether there is
not some one man to whom they can as
cribe all the hard work they have them
selves done; and they will find in Sherman
this time the man they want He should
be applauded as a good and faithful serv-
ant" and he will be rewarded for all that
he has DONE and to that much will be
added. That's his luck. Then, if the Re
-publicans want man of nerve, Sherman is
their man. He has as much nerve in pro-
portion to his weight as a fiddle; more Of it
when it comes to civil affairs than any of
our military chcftains."
