THE RED RIBBOyITES.

Last night being the regular meeting
night of the Temperance Reform club,
goodly number of ladies and gentlemen
gathered in the hall to listen to the lecture
of Rev. Whitaker, (who had been adver
tised to speak and to transact such bust
ness as might come before the club for con-
sideration
DR.. Dunning presided and DR.. Petrie
acted as secretary. Rev Whitaker deliv-
cred q stirring address, but arriving at the
hall late in the evening we heard only a
portion of 1t, that portion, however will in
terest our readers.
He said he had come to Cairo not quite
two years ago, and since that time the
temperance workers had been active IN the
city, but what had they accomplished
To-day there were nine more saloons in the
city than there had been when he came
the Sunday laws were not enforced; min
ors we're permitted to drink when aud
where they pleased, and, in short, the anti
temperance element had obtained the up
per hand-and howl By continued, earn
est work And by work fully as earnest
and AGGRESSIVE could the temperance
cause prosper in this city. He referred to
the prosperity of temperance associations
in other cities, which had put aside the
non political idea and had manifested their
displeasure of the anti-temperance doctrine
at the polls. This he believed the Reform
club should do if It would make itself, felt
and regain its former influence. He would
vote for any temperance man entirely re.
gardless Of what political opinions he en-.
tertained, and would give three
hearty cheers for him whether he
was Democrat, Republican.
Greenbacker, mossbacker, Pinchbacker, or
any other hacker He knew the club had
done much good in this community--no
other organization had done more--but be.
fore its labors could be as efIectual as they
should be, the club must use more aggres-
sive means than moral suasion to accom-
pllsh its object.
After Rev. Whitaker had ceased speak
ing Rev. George addressed the club for
few minutes on invitation of the president,
and thereafter the president himself SAID a
few words after which the club adjourned
to meet again on Friday night next

STILL COMING.

The Republican party is cor tinually glo.
rltying itself on account of its record and
the great things it has done through its
eminent members. 1t may be allowed that
the roll of the Republican party does con-
tain the names of some lllustrious men and
that it through them it did do deeds
which do it and them honor. But then, It
must be borne in mind that the men who
made the Republican party and who
achieved for it all in its record that is hon.
orable, were either forced out Of the party
by the adventures who obtained control Of
it, or else abandoned it because no longer
willing to act with an organization that had
become hopeessly venal and corrupt The
great men Of the Republican party, most Of
them died outside its pale, and of those
still living who were with it in its days of
power and pride, three-fourths are now
Democrats. Since the nomination of Han
cock, the departures have been more than
ever numerous, and there soon will be noths
ing left of the party but the corrupt aud
worthless element which of late years has
controlled it.

No Tlltlen for Him.

An effort has lately been made on the
part of certain leading Democrats, instigated
doubtless by Mr.. Tilden, to effect recon-
ciliation between the hostile wings of the
party in New York. The undertaking is
thus described in the New York Herald:
"Mr. Priest of Missouri, Mr. Bsrnum OF Con-
necticut and ex-Mayor Prince Of Boston rendered
their aid early last week In an effort toward har-
monzing the party in this state, and, with a COM
mittee, of which Mr.. Thomas W. Pittman was chair
man, sought out Mr.. Abram S Hewitt, as men,
Der OF the national Democratic committee, whom
the New York committee desired to see at the
head of "a movement in the interest OF Democratic
harmony. But Mr.. Hewitt, while declaring him
self to be heartily in favor of any measure that
can unite the Democracy, desired not To be made
u leader. He thought it enough for him If he
said, rs he did, that he will support the nominee
OF the Cincinnati convention. Subsequently the
committee who had visited Mr. Hewitt adding to
their number DIR. Mumford, editor OF the Kansas
City T,mes and Mr. Pangborn well known D.m-
ocrat of Missouri, went to the comptrollers house
and had n long Interview with him. MIR, Ptman
OF the committee says that when the Iammany
chief was asked whether it is possible to reconcile
piled, alphabetically, mol! The interview lasted
an entire evening, but the chiefs attitude, it is
said, was unchanged throughout
The New York Sun copies the above
with this doeful comment: "Mr John
Kelly is at the head of the Tammany So
ciety, Democratic political organic alton,
powerful from its numbers aud discipline.
We are within eight months of presiden-
tial election, and within three months of a
national convention to nominate Demo-
cratic candidates. Under these interesting
and critical circumstances there are some in
dicatons that Mr.. Kelly is in league with
the Republicans, and many evidences that
he is fully determined not to cooperate
heartily with the Democratic party unless
he is permitted to dictate its course of ac-
ton. Are the mass of his followers resolved
to follow him whithersoever he may choose
to lead, even though the result is certain to
be the election of General Grant to a third
term 7"

The Electoral Count.

We are glad there is one senator who has
some appreciation of the necessity of max
ing better provision for ascertaining and de-
claring the election of president. Senator
Edmuuds having waited year for the spe.
cial committee on the election of president
and vice-president to report, has become tired
and now presents bill of his own. 1t pro
vides that each state shall establish the law
full title of its electors; and that such deci
sion shall govern in counting the electoral
vote The executive of each state is re.
quired to deliver to the electors, before the
day on which they meet (the second Monday
in january, three certified lists of the cleo
tors chosen for the purpose of counting the
electoral votes. Both houses OF congress are
required to meet in joint session on the sec
ond Wednesday of February succeeding the
meeting of the electors, with the president
of the senate presiding. The telers must
present all papers purporting to be certifi'
Gates. On reading these certificates the
president shall call for objections in writing
Such objections are to be submitted to the
two houses separately for decision. The af-
firmative vote of both houses is necessary to
reject; and also in order to decide which OF
several returns is supported by the proper
state tribunal. The presiding officer shall
allow no debate and entertain no motion ex.
cept to withdraw. The joint meeting shall
not dissolve till the count is completed and
the result declared. No recess shall be al
lowed except for withdrawal, as above.

VERMONT DELEGATEs.-The Springfield
Republican isn't quite happy as to the Yer.
mont delegates to Chicago. Hear it; "Ex-Gov-
ernor Stewart of Vermont, one of her dele
gates to Chicago, says that in the event of a
decided opposition to Grant and Blaine at
Chicago, Edmunds would stand some show,
and he was recently told at Washington by
a representative man from Michigan that
that state is quite likely to cast its first vote
for Edmunds; Connecticut also. As a mat
ter of expediency, he thinks the wishes of
the state OF New York should guide in this
matter, as that state is the battle-ground.
Mr.. Stewards conversation confirms his
statement that he has not been much in
Vermont during the past year. He had
better call around before he goes TO Chi
cago." AS Governor Stewards estimate of
the weight to be given to New Yorks action
in this campaign happens to accord pre-
cisely with that of Senator Edmunds, upon
whose presidential boom the Republican
claims an exclusive patent, it would seem
becoming in any other journal than the Re
publican to be sparing in its criticisms.
