The News Of last night, in an item
about Jack Hodges, starts out with the as
sertion that it proposes to lie about him
because we have stated few unpleasant
facts about Mr.. Nellis and then pro-
ceeds in the most ridiculous manner
to make good its promise.
Two cases Of drunkenness --one ar.
rested by officer Wins and the other by
Officer lIogan-were brought before Judge
Olmsted yesterday, who assessed fine in
accordance with the enormity of the crime
and the requirements of the ordinances that
were outraged. Beyond these, the police

ness, and the atmosphere of our various
halls of Justice was free from the slightest
breath of crime

John 7. Raymond and his comedy
company had good audience at the Ath-
neum last night. A large number Of re-
served seats were sold and the seats were
nearly all filled with our best citizens. The
acting was fine and highly appreciated as

only to say that We obtained our informa.
ton from their own friends, who boldly |
proclaimed their determination TO vote for |
Mr. Nellls, because by so doing they would |
increase those gentlemen's chances Of be-
coming jaiers. We rest ourselves upon |
that authority and while yielding the point,
we pray that these gentlemen may be de- |
livered from their jealous friends, who |
seem not to be very particular as 70 the |

Democrats do not want to profit by il |
legal votes. The democrats OF Cairo are
ready and willing and anxious to join with
the republicans, and in every way prevent
the polling illegal votes. Democrats are
anxious to have most peaceful election,
and they tender to the republicans an offer

fraudulent ballots, and, if necessary, dem

be no illegal democratic or republican
votes poled next Tuesday in Cairo.
For many years Alexander county has
been served by unexceptionsble county Off

the present candidates on the Republican
county ticket have been, but made the race
because the people, recognizing them to be
competent and faithful men, induced them
to run. And we may truthiully say here
that the people haY never been disap'
pointed in their selections thus made.
Every person who has ever attended con-
vention Of any kind knows that the will of
the people is generally slaughtered In it and
that those who thus assemble seldom repre-
sent the people and almost invariably mis-
represent them. But especially can this be
