The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1884-09-14

Cairo, one of the coaches jumped the track
near the head of the incline and fell over
on its side. Three negroes were inside the
coach, but neither was hurt and all Chamber
ed out of the windows. The train was de-
layed some hours.
Hodges Park had big day yesterday.
Although no arrangements had been made
for special train, u large number of Cairo
ties were there, going up in bug8ies and on
the regular train. Judge Black was to
have addressed the multitude, but he was
not present, for some good reason, doubt
less. But there were other speakers who
made up, partially at least for the disap-
pointment, and held the large audience to-
gether for several hours in the afternoon
and at night. A fair estimate places the
number Of those present at ten hundred.
A very attractive feature of the occasion
was the barbecue, to which all did full JUS
tics, without price.
There were sixty or seventy vehicles at
Hodges Park yesterday, from all parts of
the county. The audience was mixture
of Republicans and Democrats, Prohibi-
tionists and Greenbackers, and all we're en-
thusastic in their applause of the speakers,
particularly Mr.. Albright, Hon. F. M.
Youngblood made splendid speech; so
did Judge Allen. The regular afternoon
narrow gauge train was detained an hour
for the accommodation of those who went
up from here in the morning. There was
more than plenty of the best kind Of eating
and refreshments there and everybody was
served. 1t was, all in all, one of the most
successful atf,rs of the kind of this cam
paign, and if all meetings from now till
election day are equally profitable for the
Democrats, this district will be redeemed
from the party of dishonest leaders by an
overwhelming majority.
Says Barton in his Free Press, "Wa
say in all candor to the Sun that there is a
sore spot in the hearts of two thousand Re-
publicsns in this congressional district that
will be sensitive as long as Mr. Thomas
continues to be canddate-a sore spot
thst will no; bear much irritation" But
Barton is probably mistaken. Jno. Reeves
has returned to the fold, is again promin-
eat in the counssls Of the party and in close
con mun,oI with those who but year ago
hated him and hesred fierce aua,hemss upon
his bad head. Even the fierce and festive

would be difficult TO bring any considera

and miller, and gentleman of agreeable
presence and manner, we'll educated and an
energetic worker-but he labors under the
strange hallucination that the manufacture
and sale Of liquor, not the excessive use of
the stuff, is responsible for drunkenness
and its attendant evils; that the root of
drunkenness is in the dlstillery, not in dc
PRAYED or misguided human nature, 10 the
bar room, not at the fireside; and he be

prohibit. Mr.. Davis does not entertain
any very confident notion that lie will be

The Charleston Courier seems to con.
slider it a stand off between the Cairos and
the Charleston base bull clubs, so far AS the
introduction of outside talent is concerned
in last Mondays match game in this city
In this particular the Courier is right.
Both clubs had outside talent and on this
score the Cairos have no ground Of m
plant. But the wrong came in here: II
was understood that both clubs should be-
AMATEUR clubs, and while the Cairos al
hered to this understanding honorably, the
Charleston club shamelessly violated it.
The Cairo club was and is composed e1.
clusively Of amateur players in the strictest
sense of the term--it does not contain
single player that does not depend upon
