The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1884-11-04

4IUT1Hn H. 80
Charly Bowers and Gus Botto outside O
the telegraph offices, Western Union ant
, Baltimore & Ohio will have bulletin board
displayed for the benefit of the public.
We say to all independent men witt
do not want colored convention to name
their candidates, don't change good off
Ger who has been tried, who is capable anC
experienced, and knows the details of thu
office, for an inexperienced man. Vote for
Alex. Fl. Irwin for circuit clerk.
Workingmen who desire to continue
the present prosperous (O times will vote
for Blaine, but those who desire to see a
few of the manufacturing industries running
aud more men at work and fewer starving
families throughout the country will vote
for Cleveland to-day.
There will be social gathering this
afternoon and evening at the residence of
Miss Carson on Sth street of the members
and friends Of the Baptist church for the
purpose of taking leave of their late pastor,
Mr. Eden. The church will find it difficult
to fill the place of this popular and talented
geptfrAan.
-The so cents on the 500 valuation to
be voted to-day will produce on last years
basis between seven and eight thousand
dollars This money will all be required
| to repair the court house, yard and jail.
Every citizen of Cairo is interested in this.
The tumble down condition of the court
house is a disgrace to the city. The yard
is commons, the cornice is rotting and
falling of, the steps are broken down, the
jail cells rotting and giving way and the
building is going to the dogs generally.
Mr.. Chas. Howard, who was manager
of the Theatre Comique last season, has
bought out Messrs, Catlett & Shelton and
next Monday will take full charge of that
pleasant place OF amusement. The retiring
managers have given q good, quiet, orderly
show that has proved satisfactory to their
patrons in every respect. Mr.. Howard is
clever affable gentleman and one of the
very best delineators of the old plant.tion
darkey on the American stage. He is also
possessed of good managerial and executive
ability aud in his hands the Theatre
Comique is bound to be a success.
We believe there are independent re-
publicans and democrats enough in the
city of Cairo who do not believe in bring
ing politics into local elections to send Ir.
vim, Leek and Fitzgerald into the county
with telling majority. There are demo-
Gratis with grievance here as everywhere
else, who will run with the republican ma.
chine and scratch the independent ticket.
There are also republicans who say openly
they would vote for Jim Orange if he was
nominated, but they are minority. The
sensible men of the party are not to be de-
ceived; they know good man and will
vote to keep him in office.
1.-THE Ancients" held their meeting
last Saturday evening and cut the "gordian
knot" tied by parliamentary rules and de-
termined to have dance Thursday night.
In fact parliamentary rules were thorough
ly vanquished. President Bradleys blood
was up and he grappled with the monster -
hguratively speaking, took him by the nap
of his figurative neck with one hand while
the other grasped him by the fgurative
part that gives the best leverage, and hurl-
ed him into outer darkness. The strug-
gle was fierce one at the end
OF the sixth round the jolly president
came up considerably blown but victories
and smiling. Parliamentary rules" with
Cushngs' manual havog been banisbed
the meeting now had plain sailing and sat
down on all past legislation that failed to
suit the majority present. The two-third
majority of election to membership will
prevail, and as the club is now full, we say
the club not the members, the necessity Of
one, two or three Dissenting voices reject,
ing proposals tor membership cuts no ig-
ure. No preventing providence the club
will meet and dance somewhere next
Thursday night.
