The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1880-07-31

grocery keepers and any number OF those
who in our midst have become notorious
as gentleman Of leisure All Of them were
cup and doing with heart for every fate
and we chalk this fact down to their credit.
One of our Republican candidates for
county office has approached number of
our young Democrats and requested their
support-giving as one of his reasons why
they should vote for him that politics
would cut no figure IN the election OF coun-
ty offices. In case the Republicans
had not held o convention
this argument might have
been considered good but by placing a
county ticket in the field the Republicans
have declared that the politics Of their
candidates should be the first consideration
and their fitness for Office the second. And
the man who will stand up and tell our
young Democrats that party spirit will not
control our county election at least so far as
the Republicans are concerned, says that
which in his heart he knows to be false
hood, and deserves to loose ten votes for
every attempt he makes to practice this
deception.
The attendance at the Reform hall last
night was large-larger in fact than usual
and the meeting was as interesting as
any held in the hall for some time. The
president, being absent Mr. Moses
Phillips, the second vice-president,
presided aud introduced Mr.. Henry
Planert, the president of the Thebes Re-
form club, who made not very long but
excellent speech, in the course of which he
referred to the fact that our city council
on the night on which it reduced the saloon
license had appointed two extra policemen.
Mr.. Planert was followed by Mr. Gin
neaut, of Kentucky, and at the conclusion
of his speech, Mrs. G. NJ. Alden, president
of the Womans Christian Temperance
Union, and few others, made a few re-
marks. An amendment to the constitution
creating the Office of chaplain was adopted
and Rev. W. F. Whitaker was elected to
| the office, after which the club adjourned
OF course, great deal of enthusiasm
over the nomination of Thomas was not to
be expected since his nomination was in
sured long before the convention convened,
but it WAS reasonably to be expected that
some expressions of satisfaction should be
| heard after he had been declared the nom
inee. This, however, was not the case.
| The Republicans Of Cairo, to a
man, had not word to say
on the subject and there
were not few who were even SO lndiffer
ent as not to have informed themselves who
the nominee was. Our sympathetic heart
went out to the delegates from this county,
yesterday, when we learned that they had
returned but were ashamed to
show their faces and we &C.
cordlngly visited their business places
with the object of whispering words Of COM
fort in their patients ears. But we found
that they had deserted their places of bust
ness and we were informed by the clerks
that their masters had "turned in" with a
decidedly graveyard like appearance.
The same sickly feeling prevailed
the entire Republican community and was
even communicated to the sun, which jour
nal, conscious OF committing great wrong,
with guilty feeling, announced the Cap
talns nomination in modest five line item,
hid away where it would be least seen. Of
course, this state Of affairs was to DE ex-
pected and surprised but few, but it shows
Enthusiastically that the prospect for the cleo
ton Of Thomas is slight indeed
Ifyou askus of OUR prospects,
The answer this shall be:
Wen Win.the.deld with Heilmau
In spite Of Captain T,
He is tall and slender and of that tragil
type of manhood that irresistbly suggests
the artist. But momentary glance into
his pallld, thoughtful face would strengthen
this impression and an air of mild self
depreciation, coupled with subdued sad
ness, hint at once al finer organization, just
encountering the first sharp struggle which
sensitive genius so surely meets in heart
less world. Perjury was not indicated in
his scrupulously neat attire. The harmony
OF colors presented from his exquisite
straw hat, lilac neck-tie and fawn colored
suit of fine cashmere, down to his glossy
boots, included all that taste could conceive
Far from the child of misfortune, his ap'
pearance rather suggested the spoiled
darling of some millionaire and we
were inexpressibly shocked when this ex'
tremely captivating young fellow called us
one side on Commercial avenue yester
