From the way the movement is spreading
all over the country, we rather agree with
the Globe.
Wash Fletcher, colored, was hung at
Paducah yesterday at II o'clock for the
murder OF his wife in June He was very
penitent spent the night in prayer and
went the way Of all murderers.
The large windows of M. j. Howley's

dealt cut in large or small doses.
The old reliable Second ward organ
lied Democratic club composed exclu-.
sively of white men Thursday night, with
Capt. W. NJ. Williams, president, and Louis
Bross, secretary. After the meeting the

Two of the Presidential candidates
own palatial residences in Washington
which they do,not occupy. General Butler
receives from his rental of $4,000 per
snnum, and Blaine lets his for $4,000
Both these men eve their fortunes chiefly
to the favor of great corporations. Blaine
became wealthy by an industrious devotion
to the. spirit of his pledge to Fisher, not to
be "dead,head in Ethe enterprise"

The Wabash company have sent out
broadcast over the land handsome colored
bills with pictures of Cleveland, Blaine and
Butler, and headed, "When you vote, re-
member this is nation" and tailed, "Let
your election ticket read any way you
please, bu. be sure your railroad ticket
reads via the Wabash" In their designs

The Prohibitionists before the election
are respectable in numbers and st. John

the index, rumble in the text, but simmer
and splutter and die out when time for
work comes. Out of the hundreds in the
district who are shouting for st. John and
prohibition, corporal's guard will vote
the ticket; but the Republicans leave prin-
clple to take care of itself and will vote
for Blaine and Logan.

signs of warming up, and the political pot
will soon be bubbling and simmering at a
tremendous rate. All tho Illinois big
guns personally interested in the campaign
will pay Cairo visit. 1t has been long
time since southern Illinois, and particu-
larly Alexander county, has been so hon
ored. On the 18th we will have Ogesby;
on the 10th Garter Harrison, who, we pause
to remark, it is the general opinion, will be
the next Governor of Illinois; and on the
18th will come john A. Logan, who in
after years will be spoken of as the man
who was defeated on the Presidential tick
ct in 1884,
