The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1880-07-02

there was neither danger nor hardship. If
he banks on his civil career lie is met by
the Credit Mobilier frauds and the De Col
yer pavement job. The only thing left
him to run on is his career as mule-driver
on a canal. His record in that capacity
seems to have been unexceptlsnable
The Argus Of yesterday charges US
with being premature in our announce
ment that there had been an addition to
Al. Antrim's family If we were, 1t only
proves that anything THE BULLETIN says
is bound to come to pass whether it be the
arrival of future Democratic voter, or the
departure of Republican misrule. Hence
the aforesaid arrival dill take place at SIX
o'clock yesterday evening. 1t was ten
and quarter pound chunk of masculine
loneliness.
We mentioned not many days ago that
Capt. Keller contemplated purchasing a
boat to make regular trips between Green
fields landing and the Illinois shore. We
were correct in tits announcement. The
captain contemplated the very thing we
said, but found, after having made all
other arrangements, that the boat he had in
his minds eye was mortgaged and that he
could not obtain her on that account 1t
is now almost certain, however, that Messrs.
Pyatt and Davidson will establish ferry
in the same trade.
The Comique bands pcnic,to be given
at Cunningham's grove the Fourth of July,
seems to he destined to attract one of the
largest crowds of the day, The reputation
of the manager for making such occasions
pleasant one to all who attend, is quite en-
viable The attractions Of that day will
be dancing, fishing, rowing, rusticating and
grand display Of fireworks on the Ohio
river. The band has labored hard and gone
to much expense to complete all the ar
engagements and will, with the assistance Of
Harry Walker, who superintends the affair,
give everybody chance to spend day ap-
propriately and pleasantly.
The Hibernian fire company which
held meeting last night agreed upon the
following line of march for its fifth OF
July procession; The procession will start
from the engine house and move down
Washington avenue to Eighth street, down
Eighth street to Commercial avenue, down
Commercial avenue to Fourth street, up
Fourth street to OHIO levee, up OHIO levee
to Eighth street, down Eighth street to
Commercial avenue, up Commercial avenue
to Twentieth street. out Twentieth street to
Washington avenue, and down Washing
ton avenue TO company's engine house.
We have in our minds eve a gentle
man Of many virtues-one who has not
spent all his life in letting down empty
buckets into an empty well, and is fritter
ing away his age in trying to draw them up
agaln-5ut gentleman rich in sense and
cents and an excellent Judge Of a good
glass of beer and good newspaper. To
him we tip our hat tor an unusual compli-
ment and, although he is stalwart Repub-
lcan, we pray that so great sin may be
overlooked on judgment day and he be
permitted to enjoy with us, the eternal
blessings which will be reaped in the blue
beyond by all Jacksonan Democrats.
In another place we publish notice of
the president and secretary Of the Young
BOOSTERS" calling meeting of that organi-
cation at the hail. on the levee, this
evening, and inviting all Others, who may
wish to take part in the campaign, to be
present. We would urge our young voters
to use the opportunity thus offered to as.
sist in making things hot for the RAIDS,
aud at the same time improving themselves.
Thorough organization is what gave to the
Republican party its past solidity, and 1t is
only through an equal organization on our
part that we can successfully cope
with them in this state. Let the attend
ance be large.
