The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1884-06-13

sketch is from last evenings Argus: "The
deceased was born In Germany on the 23rd
of June, 1881, and hence lacked few days
of being 53!years of age. lie emgrated to
the United States in 1859, locating at Gin
clanati, where he remained two years and
learned the bakers trade. He came to
Cairo in 1854 and has been resident here
ever since, engaged in business of different
kinds, at times being very successful and
At Others unfortunate. He leaves family
consisting of wife and six children, all
grown.'
Well, why don't our Republican friends
do little something to show the sincerity
of their professions Of satisfaction over the
Chicago nomination. The D Democrats
haven't yet begun the campaign and al.
ready boast Of two clubs in the city, whereas
their opponents have their principal ticket
all in the fell and haven't moved mus
Gle in the interest of organization. Not
meeting Of ratification held anywhere, not
a shout of pleasure from single throat. 1t
is time now to form campaign clubs, to the
praises of the tatood man and 1t we may
be permitted to do so, we woul suggest
that these clubs be called the "MulI,gan
Guards" which would be a constant re-
minder of one of the most conspicuous
events in the life of their champion.
Every mention of Tilden'S name, or
even an indefinite reference to him, in the
Democratic Convention yesterday, produced
the widest enthusiasm. 1t is not probable
that, even though Tildens letter Of final de-
clination had been read to the convention at
first, there would have been any less enthu-
sissm manifested for HIM; for the Demo-
Gratis are not inclined TO believe that the |
old statesman will have the hardihool to
resist the popular will to the last. His let
ter to the Democracy Of New York, pub
lished in yesterdays Republican, while, if
taken literally, would convey the impress
sion that he would not accept the nomina
ton, yet it will admit of different con.
struction and Democrats generally will
COnsrue it to mean that he will respond to
the call of the people when IN convention
assembled at Chicago. Certain it is that
this letter as every other one that has come
from the pen and brain and heart of
Samuel j. Tilden, will weld the people
closer to him, for 1t is replete
with sentiments such as can come only
from a man possessed of the noblest qlai-
ties of head and heart.
The stage at the Opera House yes
-erday was beautifully dccorat-
ID with flowers arranged in
various artistic designs. A banner in
cribed "Tilden and Hendricks, 1876
1884" was suspended against the rear wall
If the stage, and encircled by festoons of
green, while wreaths of evergreen sprinkled
with flowers were hung on either side; q
large horse shoe of eversreens and flowers
was suspended over the centre of the stage,
under which the nominees stood when in
to the audience. In the centre
If the stage stood desk upon which vases
filed with radient bouquets were regularly
placed, and to the right of this on the
tage floor, stood column of white encir-
lied by delicate festoons Of evergreen and
lowers and surmounted by huge bouquet
f rare natural flowers. For these beauti.
Ill decorations the convention was indebted
o several ladies who labored all forenoon
o produce and arrange them, viz, Mrs G.
W. Dunning, Mrs. c. W. Bradley, Mrs. 4.
II. Irwin, Mrs. NJ. F. Gilbert, Miss Julia
irwin and Miss Stratton. The decorations
were fittingly noticed by Mr.. Phil. V.
Field, of GolcOnda, and were doubtless
highly appreciated by all.
