briefly.
Mr Wilon says It has beou hit futo nnd

ho driven out of the party. Thi may ho true;
but that ho li.ii been guilty of bad fulth to
his party, which ho ij now seeking to broak

"WlK. ndil nntgivo Mr. "Wilson, the toaiii
ster, tho I Ighc-t price for his work, that por
son is a fool. At ono meeting of tlie council
ho presented billt for hauling lumber umount
in to fu ' humlrnl A.i, Why did hu
not biro the teams of other toamstor ? Why
did he monopolize all tho hauling business
hiimelf And why, after ho concluded to
discontinue the hauling buslnoss, did bo mil
to tho city u team uutl wagon for the sum of
seven hundred and - olghty-eight dollar?
Tin r 1 tan bo no doubt ho speculated upon tho
iieoiitit of tho city, and In this way followed
tho advicu of Iago, and put monoy'in his
jmriit.
Mr. Aj)son quotes from tho Cairo 'Demo
crat,' paragraphs which praiio him ; which
say tliat ho is not the oncmy of tho laboring
inon; that ho ndministorod tho city govern
ment with energy; that, ho did not tko hji

time tho oditor of tho fDomoorat' did not

of tho Uulletin' now knows him. Dut thia
we will say: AVoild nol helfovo Mr. "Wilson
was thon or is now tho onemy of laboring men; '.
ho is, however, a bettor friend of Thomasi
"NVilson than of.ajiy other laboring man, and
when, his Interests comoin confllctjwith thoso
of his fellow laborers thoy must go'down if
bo can put thorn down. Wo know Mr. "Wil
son oxblbitcd nergyjn the admjnistration ojj
the city government ; but ovonts bavo sfiown
that that energy lost tho city many n dollar,
which should not have been tokon out'of tho
treasury, and was mqre profltablo (to Tiomas
"Wilson than to any other citlzon. We assert
again that Tfiomas Wilson did not tako his
BtoamboHtto radueah for repairs; but now
declare that, slnuo that timo, ho had his steam'.'
boat rojiairod in tlda city, nnd, reusing to em

in tho direotlon .of Dr, Taggart'a, boapm, Undj

Grasping nt straws, Mr. "Wilson apcaka of

a larger stockholder in (ho 'Democrat' com

An ambigbous phrase about brunking open
ballot boxes Is used by Mr. Wilson. What
it means wo do not know; but If ho intends
to insimtnto that Mr. Oberly ever tampered
with tho ballot box, In anyway, he insinuates
a baso falsehood.

ing thus orgnnized, Mr. Jcxd (. Morgrtn was
called tu tho stand, and delivered ono of .Ills
characteristic spoeclie, in which ho admon
ished democrats nf the Importancu of tho
iuo to bo determined to-day, an issuo upon
thu result of which depends the futuro integ
rity of tho democratic party. Tho time wn
most inauspicious for bolting, in view of tho
probable negro accession to the radical
strength. If democrat became divided and
distracted, or permitted bolters to break up
the organization of the party, ho foarcd tho
future consequences. The victory to-morrow',

a terror to boltors and a crusher to their
radical backers. Mr. Morgan's speech was
forcible and had a visiblu good eilcct upon the

At tho close of Mr. Morgan's speoch, Mr.

he entertained tho audience, every member
of which remained to the close, notwithstand

record of his competitor, showing up the
short comings of thut gentleman whilo mayor,
in a style that elicited repeated rounds of the
mot enthusiastic applause. Hu also met and
brought into ridicule tho silly charges mado
against him by his enemies, particularly that
essouuu of folly that Is annually thrust into
tho pooplo's facei as an, electioneering dodge
of imagined talismanic power, viz: "the
Taylor gag." He doclared for his own capac

Kvory democrat, present In tho city, whose
name wns placed o'n t)io sd-caH'ed "Citlzcn'a
Ticket," has "respectfully declined" tho in
tended honor, proffering to vindicate their in
tegrity tu .democrat by atauding by, tho regu
lar ticket.' ' If nn o.o'dils of rats from n vok
scl foretells that vessel's doom, may wo not
argue that tho abandonment of tho bolter-radical
ticket, by 'the dcidocruU: whose names
wero assigned places thereon; foretells a
"going under" of that ticket. Uambrick was
nnmad' thereon' in'eonncctlon with the office
Of Marshnl. Ho declined, llutlor wns
named for City Attorney. Ho declined.
Shnnnessy was named for l'olico Magistrate.
Ho docllnoi, courteously nnd privately. Mc
Kenzio wns named for Couucilman-at-largo.
Ho had rather bo nn election judge, nnd de
clined. Col. llearden wns named for Mc
Kcnzie'a vacancy. Tho Colonel not only de
clined but ncceptod n candidacy for Alder
man on tho regular democratic ticket 1 Tho
crudest thrust of all. Kerth was named for
City Treasurer, but being absent from tho city
has indicated no wish that wo know of. His
frionds hay that ho "accept'.'' So tho ticket
stand, for Mayor, Thomas Wilson, boltor;
for Clerk, L. W. Itarhcr, radical; for Treas
urer, T. J. Kerth; for Councilman-at-lnrge,
John W. Trover, radical I Other nnmos may
bo ndded nnd voted for before timo olapes
sufllcient to bring nbout their erasure; but
tho ill success attending the ellbrt to cobblp
up a ticket so far, may discourage any further
attempt.
Democrat', comparo tho two tickets, and
say if you can, that anything In polnt.of abil
ity or reqwtablllty, can be gained by tho
election of tho so-culled "citizen ticket," in
part or in whole?
WHO NOMINATE!) HDI?
Look at the Men nml Mean to Which
and In Whom .Mr. AVIUon (Itm
Hi Xmitlitntinn.
If any democrat Is inclined to tho opinion
that there Is even n spicing of democracy
about tho so-called "citizens' ticket" that owes
its origin to tho noisy convocation of. radical
and sorc-hcads, that met in the Athcncum
last Friday night, let him cnll to mind tho
following facts:
First. John W. Trover, a loading radical
and scrip-broker, wns called to thu chair, and
presided. .;
Secondly. Ono of the editors of tho Cairo
'Times,' a papcr'that opsnly gloats over the
prospect of radical nscondoncy in Cniro,
through tho enfranchisement of the negroes,
was secretary.
Thirdly. Colonel John Wood, of sewer.and
custom house celebrity; C. F. Ncllis and Geo.
Fisher, two of the most vindiotlvo radical in
Cairo theso thrvt, ofllcintud as tellers.
Fourthly. Dr. J. V. Taggart, who declared
in a public meeting in Unity, last Fall, thtt
thoro wuro twenty-four more negroes than
Irish nnd Dutch, in tho fourth ward, who
could read and write this man plnced Mr.
Thomas Wilson in nomination for the olllcu
of mayor, and every radical in tho houc voted
"ayo" upon tho question of his nomination.
Fifthly. In tho meeting that nominated Mr.
Wilson no democrat made a speech unlesi it
was to declarn himself hostile to tho objects
of the mooting and to refute to participate in
its proceedings; no democrats mado motions
or discussed them; no democrats inndo notni
nutioni on tho contrary, tho radicals "ruled
the root ' without lot or hndrnnco organ
ized, officered and controlled tho meeting
from tho beginning to tho end I '
To stu b men nnd such means Mr. "Wilson
owe bl nomination j but lita defeat hu will
owe to the upright, determined and consistent
democrat of Cairo, who will vote solidly
against him, and almost ns n single man.

THE ELECTION.
THE INTEREST AWAKENED AHIIOAD.
Tho prcsont municipal contest is exciting
very general nttentioii throughout tbo state.
1U progress has bcen"linrrowly scanned by
both democrats nnd" radicals, tho former ex
pressing conlldonco in tho honesty nnd integ
rity of tho democracy, and predicting n tri
umph; nnd tho latter aro elated by tho dolu
8iyo hopo th.-tt tho Ixdtcrs, unltod with tho
radtcnl strength, will como out victorious.
Already bavo expression to tliis oflcct been
mado public in radical prints ; and to-night,
oxpecting u confirmation of such conjectures,
eager radicals will throng the telegraph ofllcos
in Springfield, Hloomlngton, Chicago and
elsewhere, to rcceivo with shouts and rejoicing
tbo "glorldus nows of Cairo's political down
fall." "Democrats' of Cairo, do you intend to to
demean yourselves to-day, as to furnish such
glad-tidings to radicals, to-night, and such
distressing nowii to youfcllow-democrots 7
Let your nnswor bo through tho ballot

tho party, nnd by n clear and unequivocal
majority of the votors I It du3ervei your

futuro existence of the party with nil thu
glory nnd prrtige of jueeess.
Voto for it then, for everyjiamo upon It,
and victory is our. Vote for it and thu
nows which is telegraphed abroad to-night
will tell that Cairo is truo to her ancient
faith ; that tho democracy has triumphed nnd
that the allied power of bolters nnd radicals
has uxpended its force for naught.
TDAY.
Thr Dill' of Ilritiocratnl
Tho election U-day is onu of especial con
sequence, becauso it will determine tho ability
of the democratic party in Cairo to conquer
its enemies whether thoy appear in tho gulsu
of radical or bolters.
If the bolter-radicnl combination succeed
to-day (of which thoro Is no real dangor,
thank Heaven) thon ecltlsh, wilful, stubborn
democrats may break up thoir party at will;
impetuous member may ignore Its usages,
nnd defy its strength with Impunity.
If tho democratic party goes down, in Culro
to-day, the demoralization tb defeat will
bring, will culminate In It destruction.
If Thomas Wilton Is elected, before mid
night, tho nows, on wings of lightning, will
bo sent broadcast that Cniro, tho democratic
stronghold of Jigypt, has fnlJcn, and that rnd
iculism is triumphant I
Shall auch things como to pass? Democrats
of Cairo, it is with you to say. If you would
see your party destroyed by men who bolt Its
nominees becauso thoy cannot control them,
stay uway from tbo polls, and you will bo
gratified. If, however, you would rebuke
such men, and defeat tho radical hordes that
aro using them, turn out, voto and work for
tho regular nominees. Uo to thu polls early
nnd vote; and seo to it that your democratic
neighbor are not lured into a forgotfulness
of tbo election by tho trickery of tho opposi
tion. If every democrat will discharge his
duty thu, thu race of boltors In Cairo, will bo
buried by such n mountain of ballots, that
thoy can novur rcaurrect themselves!
Full in tho ranks thun, every democrat to
his post, and victory, sure, decided and per
manent will porch upon your standard.
