--Cullom's majority over Trumbull and
Strectcr is in round figures but 5000. -Four
years ago his majority over the combined
democratic and greenback vote on Stewart,
was G,000. 1t will thus be seen that the
relative strength Of the republican party
and opposition are about the same now as
| then.
Gov. Williams, Of Indiana, whose i'll
ness we announced, few days ago, died at
noon Saturday last. His death is followed
by universal sorrow in Indiana. Gov Will
liams was an unquestionable patriot and a
faithful public servant He lived out his
three score years and ten, and goes to the
tomb with an unblemished record in all
the relations Of life.
1t is a fact that is perhaps not gener-
ally known that the water which surrounds
the gas reservoirs in the lower part of the
city, has some power over that terrible dis
ease-rheumatlsm. Tony Celia has been
afflicted with rheumatism for some time,
and after trying number of preparations
in vain, used some of this water and finds
that he is improving. Squire Osborn yes
terday sent jug full of it to Mr.. Geo.
Poor, at Dongola, who is also suffering
from rheumatism.
The frequent accidents on the Illinois
Central incline which have recently oc-
Cured, might we'll be averted in various
ways. One of them is by changing the
grade of the incline; another by using extra
couplings; but perhaps the safest way TO
remedy the evil would be to build a switch
on the boat, which would enable the en-
CINE to get behind the cars and shove them
up instead of pulling them up. We learn
from railroad men that this could easily be
arranged and that il would avert all dan
ger.
A little colored boy, named Gilbert
Campbell was yesterday evening riding
Mr.. Robert Smiths mare up plank ap-
proach to the sidewalk near Stacks black
smith shop on Commercial avenue, when
the animal made mlstep and threw the
boy to the ground, seriously injuring the
little fellow. He lay unconscious for some
minutes, when medical assistance was call
ed and stimulants administered, which
brought him again to his senses. His in
jures were internal, and he was taken to
the hospital for treatment
Tell you what let's do, Garfield Let's
retain all the officials now IN Uncle Sans
employ in this city in their present places.
They are all "true blue" you know, and
we must say, are also very efficient officers.

will appoint democrat in his place,
But we won't ask you to do that.
Col. McKeaig, who engineers the post Of
fee, is also an estimable official. He died
and fled in the army, James, and since you,
too, acquired distinction on the battle
ground (by resigning) you know that he
merits a steady "sit" and fat "take." 1t
may he said against HIM that he was not
very active during the past campaign but
this was in apparent obedience to Hayes
order No. l, but quietly he rendered you
excellent service. Retain both Of them.
What do you say, James
If our friend Hayes, during his term
of his Office has been more economical than
his predecessors; if he has not INDUCED in
the customary presidential extravigance,
and is, therefore, enabled to retire with
sung little fortune--it is just so much to his
credit and THE BULLETIN would advise
Mr.. Garfield that he would do well to fol-
low Mr.. Hayes example. The statement
Of our Washington cor
that he Hayes will
be remembered as the "meanest occupant
OF the White House, and that his
"chief Impulse has seemed to be a
desire to impose every possible house
hold expense on the treasury" is untrue.
and could have been written only through
malicious motives. 1t 10 well known that
the president has been very frugal rs re-
CARDS his personal expenditures, but it is
yet to be proved that he has manifested any
desire to impose upon the treasury the pay
ment of bills which should be settled with
his individual means.
