10 ,bropghout the district many Democrats
will make an exception in his favor, let the
nominees of the party be whom they may
Rioid brother Democrats may object that
such language as this is not good democ-
racy." Maybe it isn't; but it is the truth,
and time will verify it
The tug Aradne, with quitea party OF
festive young people, left our wharf, yester'
day afternoon, on an excursion to Metropo'
lis, to participate in a grand dance, given
by one of the leading citizens. The party
expected to arrive in Metropolis in time to
sup with Capt. McCauly, late Of the Airing
ton. Fifteen thousand Cairo people were
expected by one OF the Metropolis editors
but it is the fate of that class of men to be
subjected to great disappointment
"A healthy but slovcnly-looking female
tramp, named Ann Ornelled, established
herself in police headquarters, yesterday
and importuned everybody who would lis
ten to her, for money to pay her way to St.
Louis The uncomfortable desire of desti
tute people to 'get somewhere else" is
marvellous. Half Of them don't pretend
that their condition will be bcttered in any
particular; but the grand, controlling i'm
pulse is to keep moving. This poor Great
ure is, evidently, seriously unbalanced in
her mind, or is simple.
If THE BULLETIN presents a gaunt and
neglected appearance tomorrow, the fact
may be accepted as an indication that the
editor couldn't resist the impulse to follow
everybody ese's example and loaf about
the polls. In other words, we expect, by q
general exhibition of benign countenance
to-day, to exercise restraining influence
upon our red-hot people. Of course we
can't exhibit the benign, etc, and write edi-
tOrial at one and the same time; and as the
exhibition can't be postponed, the writing
must be.
The trains of the c. &V. road that
pass along Commercial avenue shake up the
gas mains buried near the track, in quite a
lively manner losening the joints, and oc-
casioning flows of gas where it is not es-
pecislly needed. On account of this una
voidable mischief the gas company is called
upon to expend considerable labor in that
vicinity to effect repairs Work of this
kind, undertaken few days ago, was sus-
pended Saturday evening, on account OF
the illness of Pat Carroll, who is the only
expert in that line of labor in the city.
One of our exchanges says that about a
year ago, Kirkpatrick, an Anna druggist,
bought two gallons of whisky in the Cairo
market, and now, after filling all the
whisky prescriptions sent to him, has a
gallon of the whisky left. While this is
true Of Kirkpatrick, it is saidthat compel
ing druggist, during the same interval,
sold over twenty barrels of whisky. The
only conclusion we can draw from this
statement is that there was something the
matter with Kinks whisky He didn't buy
the kind that Anna invaids relish. Only
this, and nothing more

Graf, of Sunday, speaks Of the removal and
rcburial Of the body, day or two previous,

rendered at the cost Of his life.
