They are reported as ncting ns though Gar
field's election wcro settled and they were
ngniu m the full flush of power. A new
weekly paper has been established in Phila
delphia, which is to be the "advocate of the
advanced school ol politics of which Bis
matck is the most conspicuous living rx-
cmpler." In its salutatoiy it promise to
"openly favor a change from our present
constitutional system to tho methods of cen
tralized government established by the con
quost on tho continent of Europe." Tho pa
per is called tho American and is managed
by W. R. Bttlch.formerly of the Philadelphia

W. T. Scott's new city carriage met
with a disaster 8uuday evening. Price,
the regular driver was sick and "Dixie"
took the ribbons and too much "lighten

two springs "smashed all to flinders," and
nobody hurt. The vehicle is laid up for
repairs..
How soon a colored man who is a
"leading mind" becomes wishy-washy"
when he dares to disregard the "party lowh"
and becomes untrauuneled and independ
ent, may be learned by reading the com
ments of the News last night on Judge
Bird. It is enough to drive every man,
white and colored, into voting the inde
pendent ticket.
Mr. Theilecke, local editor of The
Bulletin, is out of the city, gone to Pope
county to look after his interest in a print
ing office. It would save time, trouble and
expense, if he would induce her we mean
if he could bring his interest back with him
and set up house, no, set up another
printing office iu Cairo. We are a little
mixed in this item but we mean well
enough.
Our republican friends are having a
deal of fun over the melancholy that has
come to democrats last week, but their sins
shall not be remembered against them when
they fall into the sere and yellow leaf of
grief three weeks hence. We mean to re
turn good for evil, and iu the deep despair
of their final taking off will not insult
their death agony by any harsh gloating
over their ruin. Republican.
The sociable of the Rough and Ready
Fire company last night was a most success
ful and enjoyable affair as these sociables
always are. Tho Hall was comfortably
filled. The committee gave every attention to
the comfort of guests, and music, mirth
and merriment reigned until the "we sma
hours a'ant the twal," admonished the rev
elers that it was time to seek that repose
necessary to fit one for the duties of every
dav life.
The republican majority iu Indiana,
as time passes, grows "small oy degrees
and beautifully less." Each day lops of
thousands from what w as at first claimed,
and democrats are, with some show of
reason, beginning to think that it was very
little lightning and a great deal of thunder,
with not much of a shower after all. Wait
until the "melancholy days of November"
come, when each statu will have its own to
care lor, and will be obliged to keep its
fingers out of the Indiana pie. Then will
the Bong be set to different music for the
party in that state, anl the music will be
a dirge.
The republicans of Cairo and the adja
cent country ol Missouri, Kentucky and
Illinois, will have a jamboree and grand
torch-light procession to-night. The commit
tee of reception are Mr. R. W. Miller, Wal
ter Warder, John King, C. N. Hughes and
N. B. Thistlewood. The line of march will
be from corner of SHh on Washington to
Fourth, out Fourth to Walnut, on Walnut
to Fourteenth, thence to Washington, up
Washington to Twentieth, out Twentieth to
Commercial, down Commercial to Eighth,
up Eighth to Levee, on Levee to Fourth,
out Fourth to Commercial, up Commercial
to Eighth, and out Eighth to speaker's
stand.
FREE SCHOOLS.
The colored people are more interested in
free schools than any other class ot citizens.
1'heir future improvement depends on free
schools. The elevation of the colored race
depends on iree schools. They can only
succeed in the great battle of life by the
aid of free schools. Whatever of the
future is bright to the colored race takes
its brilliancy from the free schools. Their
intellectual development and their moral
advancement depend upon free schools.
Henry D. Dement, republican candidate
for secretary of state, vot'ed against appro-
priating money to carry on free schools
John II. Oberly is a candicate for tho
same office. All our readers know how
Mr. Oberly voted when he was in the legis
lature on the free school question. If any
man, north or south, is entitled to the
ununiinous support of the colored voters,
that man is John II. Oberly.
TS THERE DANGER TO THE FREE
SCHOOL SYSTEM?
Tim reuublican party has nominated
Henry D. Dement for secretary of state
Henry 1). Dement voted in the state Benate
against the appropriation necessary to carry
on tho free schools of tho state. Shall he
be endorsed by an election to the office for
which ho is nominated? Let the people of
the slate answer with an overwhelming
negative.
On the other hand John II. Oberly, dem
ocratic nominee for secretary of state, has
been, and still is the kold ami fearless
champion of free schools, giving to them
unlimited Bcope.
Sometimes, objections to a candidate riso
nbovo and overthrow party discip.ino
We believe the objection, wo have stated to
r. ii.w.nt will render the work of the
I .....
"dnlf masters" with their "party trunch
eows," powerless to compel tho indupen
dent portion of the republican party to vol
for Dement.
Free schools arc in danger, If such a man

as Dement can !c elected. But we have
faith in the discrimination and good judg
ment of the misses of the people, inspec
tion of party. The man, who votes aguinst
the bi ennial appropriation to support
the free schools of the state, is an enemy to
popular education, and a public example
should be made of him. Show us a demo
cratic candidate opposed to free schools aud
we will denounce him.

THE COUNTY ELECTION.
The election of men to fill tho offices in
ur own county, should and it does, attract
the attention of every citizen ot Cairo and
tho county, and greatly exceeds tho interest
taken in the general election. It is not
now, and it should never bo allowed to be
come a political race. Tho people have
heretofore und will again at tho polls In
November, make good their claim to say
who shall or shall not bo their candidates,
and who shall or shall not receive their
votes. Iu tho present contest a fow politi
cal leaders of the republican party against
tho clearly expressed wish of tho majority
of tho voters of that party met m a packed
convention, and usurping tho right of tho
people, noiuinuted a straight party ticket,
in opposition to candidates of the people,
trustiu" that, with tho colored vote, enough
of tho white element could bo induced by
tho "straight ticket" dodge to support and
elect theso ready inudo candidates of tho
minority.
Tho roce is not that of a "straight ticket."
It is tho voloo of thu people against tho
crack of tho party lash, and hb sure as No
vember comes will the right of the people
to sav who shall servo them in municipal
and county affairs bo vindicated. That those
political lcadors were wise enough to put
ono or two men good on their ticket makes
Its defeat none the less certain. Hodges

cuudldites of whom a few political lei t
say to the people, "Theso are ui it choice,
for these you must deposite your unscratch
ed ticket in November." Tho same feel
ing will govern the untrammeled men of
tho republican party that governed those
deniocrits. who voted for Judge Baker, as
an independent candidate, against the
nominee on a straight democratic ticket
in 1S70. As the democrats rebuked their
party leaders in that contest, so should the
independent republicans rebuke theirs in
this election of county officers, which i
brought so much nearer borne.
One ot the arguments used by republi
can speakers in urcingthe necessity of vot
ing tlm whole ticket straight is that its de
feat would be claimed as a democratic
victory. This is all bosh, to every think- .
ing man will admit. Tho defeat of tho
ticket will be the people's victory. No
democrat aks or ces what the politics of
the independent candidates aro. It is
enough to know that they are independent ;
that they represent no party, and that they
aro. in fact, the best mn for the position
they seek. When Jack Hodges was asked
if he would go into a convention and be
come a candidate on the republican ticket.
His reply wa: "No. Democrats and re
publicans elected me Itfore and republicans
and democrats, if they aro satisfied with
my work, must do it again. I will be the
people's candidate, or I wi'l not make the
race." This is the correct view to be taken
f the matter, and his election will be a
triumph of the people. The Bulletin sup
ported Jac k two years ago, at tho close of
his term as deputy of a sheriff whose
politics is unquestioned, and when his op
ponent was a representative of tho demo
cracy; it now supports him, not as against
a straight republican nominee, but becauso
he is not only tho best man for the position,
but as an independent candidate represents
the principle, "No politics in county elec
tions."
We know that all democrats do not think
as we do, that there are a good many in
the city, some of them good men, who will
vote against the independents, but that is
their right. On the other hand a large
number of republicans in Cairo have ex
pressed an intention to disregard the party
lash and vote as they please and out in the
country, "the woods is full ot 'cm." The
other Independent candidates are well
known in the city and county. Mr. Fitz
gerald, as coroner, haa served the county
well and saved hundreds ot dol
lars of the people's money, thereby lessen
ing the expenses of tho farmers throughout
the county on whom tho burden of taxes
fall heaviest.
The same may be said of T. W. Halliday
to whose watchfulness, financial ability and
careful study of the people's interest, dur
ing tho time, he has been chairman ol the
board of commissioners, tho county owes
much of its present prosperity. Ham
Irvln has served tho people in many capa
cities, and as thoir candidato will not fail to
receive a handsome majority over his op-
nonent. whose only claim to any kind of
popularity is that ho makes a first-class
end man in a negro ministrel bIiow.
Mr. Leek stands against a niau who
camo from another county to run for tho
office, and who, after tho election will, like
tho boy who crawlud through a hole in the
wall to Bteal apples, and found the
farmer on tho other side, go back tho way
ho camo. Tho question is not will tho pco
plo triumph and elect their candidates,
but how largo will their majority bo?
