Mr.. Walter Warder returned yesterday
from Vienna, where he had been for about
two weeks. He says he had no idea that
his name would be brought before the
County Republican Convention, in connec-
ton with the States Attorneyship; and that
he had no aspirations In that direction.
The Clifton House, on Seventh Street
next to the Winter Block, is an applicant
for public favor. 1t is conducted by Mrs.
Vandewater, an experienced hostess. The
board Is of the best the market affords and
able cooks eau prepare. Everything about

Mr.. John W. Greer, formerly of THE
BULLETIN office and until recently of the
Murphysboro Independent, was in the city
yesterday. He has On foot new scheme
that promises to pay him well: the manu-
facture Of guns with hammerless locks of
recent invention. The patentee of the lock
is a Mr. Victor, Of DuQuoin. The plan is
to start gun factory at DuQuoin with
home capital, and there is every.reason to
believe that the guns will sell readily. We
wish Mr.. Greer success in his new enter
prise.
Hon. Alex II. Irwin is before the peo-
pie again as candidate for reelection to
the office of Circuit Clerk Of Alexander
County. His announcement, which appears
in another place, will give pleasure to near.
ly all who have had any dealings with Mr..
Irwin in his official capacity, for it will
give them opportunity to express their al
proval of his services in the most agreeable
manner. We feel entirely safe in saying
that Mr.. Irwin has been the best incum bent
of the Circuit Clerk s office that Alexander
County has had fer mHny years. No man
in the office has given closer attention to
the duties devolving upon him; none has
performed those duties with more correct
ness and dispatch, and none was more
courteous to those with whom he had deal
lngs, or showed greater readiness to serve
thepublic, irrespective Of individuals. Mr..
Irwin has made an ideal public servant;
we believe that the public generally &C
knowledge this fact and will vote to retain
him where he has been so efficient. His
experience in the office renders him the
more valuable and gives HIM prestige over
most any one else that might compete with
him for the position in November.
1t gives US much pleasure to call the
attention of the public to the announcement
of Mr.. Angus Leek for the States Attor-
neyship for this county IN the November
election. There Is no need of introducing
Mr.. Leek. He has been before the people
once before as a candidate, and almost con-
stantly in his profession as lawyer. He
stands at the head of his profession, among
the young members, a position which he
has attained and held by hard labor. He
aspires to an Office now which must be fill
ed by good lawyer and an honest, ener-
getic man of good judgment. A position
in which he will be called upon to repre-
sent the people and their great interests,
not only in matters involving their safety
against criminals, but also in matters con-
corning their civil rights as against cor
porations and individuals. A position in
which he may, at any time, be called upon
to cross swords with the best legal talent
in the city or State, in defence or prosecu-
ton of the peoples just claims. This posi-
ton Mr.. Leek has held for number of
months now, by the grace of the Board of
County Commissioners which appointed
him to fill the unexpired term of James NJ.
Damron. During his brief incumbency,
he has made a record Of which he may be
