The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1880-06-16

| SAIL. Ajudgc OF the supreme court OF ia
nois, and for twelve years United States
senator, the people Of this country are ia
miliar with him. BY nature Lyman Trum
bull is Democrat. He separated from u.
on a question, but when the Republican
party became leverage tor steals, nur
scry for all that is low, treacherous, corrupt
and criminal in government, when it at.
tempted to drag down, to disgrace, dishon.
or and destroy man sometimes mistaken
but always anxious to his duty. .Presiden,
Andrew johnson, when he sacrificed his
senatorial seat to conscience, when he ar
raycd himself against crime and corruption
he favored q Democrat, became Democrat
and is Democrat that every honest intel
ligent Democrat delights to honor. With
Lyman Trumbull IN the governors chair,
the state of Illinois can proudly raise its
head.
For Acknowledgements we present Gen
eral Lewis B. Parsons, general in fact, not
simply in name, man of pluck, genius
and executive talent of so high an order
as to single him out as the man best fitted
in the Judgment Of General Grant and pres
ident Lincoln to have charge of the trans
portation of troops and supplies tor the
western army.
The secretary of state is the polished ele-
giant and eloquent Oberly, printer, orator
and statesman.
For auditor, Doctor Starkel, of St. Clair
county, perfect man physically, mentally
and educationally, Of middle life, an
American in appearance, an Irishman in
hospitality, speaking the English language
as his mother tongue, and being in blood
and sympathy German American.
For treasurer, "Honest Tom Butterworth"
member of the present house of represen-
tatives. A man who earned the title of
honest by searching for steals from the
treasury, finding them and exposing them.
For attorney general, Lawrence Harmon,
a Peorian, as boy and man resident Of
this city As citizen none stands higher,
and as lawyer he is confessedly ID the
front rank; he is never caught mapping, his
spurs are of the sharpest and his coat Of
legal mail challenges the shafts of the
ablest advocates. The citizens of Peoria
who know Mr.. Harmon's worth will give
evidence of their appreciation at the polls.
We can assure our readers throughout the
state that the candidate furnished by Pc
oria conters as much honor upon the ticket
as that of any citizen in the state who
could be nominated.
Truly we have good ticket, and one
that will be elected if wisdom directs the
efforts of the party in its selection Of local
candidates to go upon the ticket with the
gentleman nominated.
Our advice to the Democracy Of the state
is this: Select the ablest and most expert
enced men for congressional, county, sena-
torial and legislative honors. Let small
men for the present give way, and the big
men be urged and coaxed Of needs be- to
the front.
Cincinnati will respond to the example
Of Illinois, and give US good nominations
for president and vce-president.
Then with good nominations
for other the state is safe.
Let no good man, no matter what Office
he may have held, or what hopes he may
have held, or what hopes he may have en-
tertained refuse to serve his party at the
present time. By serving his party he
serves his country.
The Republican ticket in the nation and
in the state of Illinois is weak Let US win
by making ours command the respect Of
the people by its superior fitness.
John Quincy Adams, after filling the
presidential chair, became member Of
congress, and died in his chair IN the house
Of representatives.
Caleb Gushing, after being judge Of
the supreme judicial bench of Massachu
sets, member of congress, minister to for
eign countries, and member Of President
Pierces cabinet, became member of the
house of representatives IN the state legis-
lature.
1t is not the Office that honors true
man, it is the man that honors the Office.
This being true we call upon rejecting
Democrats everywhere to set TO work and
put forth their best men for Office, and thus
make the easy triumph of our ticket
both national and state.
