GIVE US FAIR PLAY.

The BULLETIN desires TO say to the
Southern Illinois press in general, and to |
the Pulaski Patriot, the DuQuoin Tribune,
the Johnson County Journal and several
other exchanges which have grossly mis-
represented il in particular, that in all 1t;
efforts to secure Captain Thomas nomina-
ton by his Republican friends, and all It's
eXpositons and denunciations of the fraud
resorted to by his enemies to defeat him,
it never, directly or indirectly, intimated
that it was in favor of his election. 1t
desired his nomination only, and it did all
in its power to secure this. Its reasons
for desiring Captain Thomas nom.
ination in preference to that OF
any other Republican are concisely
given in the following item, taken from
the Daily of June 10th, and which ap'
pesred in the weekly OF the 18th
The only reason why Democrats take
any interest at all in the nomination Of
Republican candidate for congressman is
that there is possibility of republican
success at the coming November election
And the only possible reason why Demo
Gratis support Captain Thomas in his en-
deayors to be renomiasted 10y his own par.
ty is that, by reason of his experience, posi-
| ton and influence at Washington, he
would be better able than all his repubu-
can rivals to further the river improve
ment interests of this district in the event
of his election.
This contains no pledge nor does any
other line ever published by The BULLETIN,
upon which Captain Thomas or any one
else could base a clam for THE BULLETINS
support Of the captain in his fight for
election against a Democrat, therefore
TnElBuLLErIN is at lib erty to do and is not
inconsistent now in doing, all il can con.
sistent with truth aud decency, to defeat
the captain. But more than this. The
BULLETIN distinctly reserved the right to,
and predicted that it would, do what it
could to defeat the captain, as appears
from the following item taken from the
issues ofthe same dates as that given above,
CAS- a Republican and man of very
ordinary mental calibre, Captain Thomas is
Objectionable to the Democrats OF this dis.
trict, and every honorable effort will be
made by them to defeat him with good
Democrat in every way his peer aud IN
many respects his superior"
1t seems to us that no more conclusive
proof than the above could be asked, that
those who are charging THE BULLETIN with
inconsistency in Its present opposition TO
Captain Thomas are doing so either ~
norantly or maliciously. The BULLETIN
was honest In Its advocacy OF Captain
Thomas over oil his Republican rivals, De-
