The Argus is mistaken. THE BULLE-
TIN is not opposing Mr.. Dan'l Hogan in his
efforts to secure the office of internal rcve-
nue. collector. In fact it stated and reiter-
ates that it would be we'll pleased with his
appointment, as would the majority OF the
democrats in the district. But
while this is so, it regards
as very silly, the twaddle that
Mr.. Hogan or any other one man should
have increased the republican majority in
the district from six hundred to eighteen
hundred. The facts are that the largest in
crease in the district was made in the home
of Mr.. Willis, the present collector and
that the Hon. Ike Clements, who is also
seeking the position of collector, rendered
as valuable services TO the party during the
past campaign, and campaigns preceding
as any man in Southern Illinois. But
this need not prevent Mr., Hogan
from receiving the appointment, and we
hope it will not.
