The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-04-15

'N'Nioic, WIN tulHcu lncm away
empty handed. No beggar, we care not
what the nature of his Affections may be,
should be given money while he is under
the influence Of liquor. A Whit of the
fumes of whiskey should be the signal to
close the door upon him.
Never before in the history Of Cairo
has 80 much feeling been manifested in a
city election. Not few of our citizens
were so much Carried away" by the pre-
vailing excitement that they abandoned
their usual avocations and devoted their
entire time to the canvass. Everybody is
more or less enthused, and scores of voters
will abandon all work to-day that they may
witness the progress Of the struggle and
take part in it. The voting places will
be threnged with voters all day, and as a
very great diversity of opinion has been
deycloped-as much warmth Of
of feeling already exists, the authorities
should sec to it that saloons are so effect
ualy closed that additional warmth is not
taken on in the shape of intoxicating
liquors. A single drunken man might,
during such a state of excitement as now
exists cause much trouble-even provoke
riot and bloodshed. ItbeComes the cspec-
ial duty of the police, therefore, to see to it
that the saloons of the city are not only
closed in front, but at the side and in the
rear. Voters must be denied access to
whisky; and the lovers of law and order
will hold the authorities responsible should
they fail to arrest every saloon keeper who
directly or indirectly disobeys the order to
close up while the polls are open.
The last number of the Metropolis
Democrat "A new and ably edited Demo
cratic paper-speaks thus truly Of Judge
Mulkcys candidacy: Never before" says
the Democrat, did an announcement 50
universally meet the appreciation Of the
people as does this one Every member OF
the bar in Southern Illinois is ready TO ad-
nit the eminent fitness of Judge Mulkey
for the high position to which he now as
pires. Judge Mulkey's age and experience
combined with his extensive knowledge of
the law at once commend him to the people
of the first judicial district as fit repre-
sentative Of that higher culture which
should be attained by those who would sit
in judgment for the people If the state of
Illinois"
The journal, of the same place and same
date, speaks Of the Judge as follows:
Judge Mulkcy is well and fayorably
known by the voters of Massac as a gentle
man Of scholarly attalnmcnS and profound
knowledge of the law lie has had IN the
past, sufficient judicial experience TO render
him at home on any Bench in the country,
as he is, prominently, at any Bar Judge
Mulkey will grace, bccomingly, in every
way, the place on the Supreme bench, so
long and ably filled by Judge Brcesc, and
the people of Massac county and Southern
Illinois should and will give Judge Mulkcy
flattering vote
Jim Clonen is dead" All who heard
this announcement, Sunday morning were
not only surprised, but shocked, Only
few days before, he was seen upon the
streets, stout and rugged, with promise
of many years of life upon the siXty-fiye
he had already lived. But the grim
monster came, made his call, and jim,
stout and hardy rough and strong as he
was, could only obey it. On the day Of
Capt. Boyton's coming, he yielded to the
opportunities Of a couple Of neighboring
women, and obtaining skih, pulled them
out INTO the river, where they could enjoy
an unobstructed view OF the bold nayioa-
tors antics The exerton and exposure in
cldcnt to this act OF nclghborly kindness,
brought on severe cold, which, being neg
lccted, soon resolved itself in bad
case OF pneumonia. At the hour of
| 80 o'clock Sunday morning, after two
or three days intense suffering, the poor icl
low died; and yesterday afternoon, many
Of his friends and neighbors followed his
remains to their last resting place. There
is warm place in the hearts Of hundreds
OF our citizens for the memory of Jim
Cloncn. Rough and sruf as he appeared
to be, his heart was as tender and sympa-
thctic as that Of a child No man ever ap-
pealed to him for food and shelter in vain.
He was poor, but Of what he had he gave
to those who asked in the name of charity
freely and chcerfully. He scorned mean
act, and though giant in strength, he
was as docile rs lamb. Faults he had
but he, himself and not his friends, was
the sufferer, But enough The strong,
rugged man is dead but long after he has
returned to the dust from which he came
