If wo would have pcaco In tho family, nnd tho affairs of tho city admlnlstored for tho best Interest of the public, we will put up tho Citliton's Ticket of last year from A to Z Lnnsdcn, Howlcy, Taylor, I'ope, Cain, nldermen and select council men, and re-elect it. Hasn't tho adminis tration been ctllcicnt? nnd doesn't tho old thing work well now? Gentlemen, stop up to tho counter nnd lei us "repeat." So s.iy the coalesccrs. This gentleman is a candidate for alder- mnn In tlio second ward a distinctly pro nounced Independent candidate. If elec ted ho proposes to labor for certain very much needed reforms in tho way of open ing sewers, laying down street crossings, cleanini: tho cltv tlioroutrhf.ites, etc. He says tho second ward has been neglected and that if ho wcro 0110 of its rcprescnta' tlon in tho city council ho should insist upon Its obtaining Its share of attention nOBEHTSON, A1. UN. Mr. W. H. Robertson, who Is a candi date for city marshal, says ho has no do siro to run for the olllce, but so many of the best citizens have persistently urged him to do so. that to bo rid of tho nnnovonco of their per slstency, ho has reluctantly consented toinako tho race. He Is to bo pitied. It is u shame that bo should bo dragged from tlio privacy ho bo much desires and wo aro bold to dcclaru the "best citizens" who liavo dono this thing should bo nthaind of themselves. AVo havo seen many of thocllizous who nro clntscd under tho head of "host," and havo charged them with tlio otfenio complained of by Rcbertson, but wo havo not found ono who hni not declared his innocenco and assorted that ho had no Intention whatoYcr of doing nnylhiug that might oven tend lodrlvo Mr. Robertson Into any office Rut, of coiir.e, at lonst live hun dred (that's tho way R. puts it) of tlio best citizons havo urged him to clean out Cain, and ho's going to do it if ho can but. can ho? If ho does it will ho after ho has bought tho support of a good many citizens not classed among tho best , and, o far ns our knowloJgo of his purchasing ability goes, ho is a failure. X WOllI). rilk. 'iim I, l T.HAn would bo a stronger tiinn thnn Col. Tay lor in it contest for tho mayoralty. AVo venture to say, Mr. Lnndcn himself does not believe this. Tho truth Is (and Mr, Lansden is well aware of tho fact) Mr Lnnsdcn is 6trong becauso ho has frionds liku Col. Taylor to advocate his claims. Lust year tlio struggle for tlio olllco was desperate, and .Mr. Lansden, without his knowledgo, was put up as tho reprcsenta tlon of thu men who wished a chniigo of administration in thu municipal n flairs of Cairo, nnd thoso men, almost without his knowledge certainly without truobllng mm with tlio details ot tlio canvass se cured his triumphant election. Among tho most active of his friends, and the man whn did tlio most work not tho noisy work of thu turbulent fellows who infest groceries nndplny pitch and talk olcctlon during our chnrtcr can vasts, but tho work that counted paid- got voters to como to the polls and voto right was Col. Taylor. And, now, if ho wished to occupy tlio mayor's ofllce, ho could beat Lnnsdcn out of sight or any other man. Rut that ho will not bo n candldato wo havo been informed by rollablo authority. AVo wish ho would, so that wo might havo tho pleusuro of teaching tho men who aro al ways croaking "Taylor, " llko blrJa of evil omen on infernally disagreeable nights that thoy know littln about tlio real pub lic sentiment of Cairo and have boon dc eelved by tho pestiferous outgivings of their own llttlo cotcrio of sorehoads. CHEATED. Somo of our republican friends (nnd bo it known wo aro sorry to learn this) assort that thoy were cheated in tho election hist year, inasmuch ns republicans wero elected for tho short tcrms,and In somo mysterious way domocrnts slipped into tlio long torins. They are mistakon. They wero not cheated. They wore dealt with very librully. Horo aro tho facts: Take the Helect council. On tho 10th of March lust the terms of threo select councllmen ex pired. AVilliamson, from tho city at large went out, nnd Capt. Halliday was nomi nated to fill his place. O'Callahan of tho third ward went out, nnd Col. AVood was put Into his place.

True, but thcro woro threo other vacan cies in tho council to bo filled.

Ho was born at Clontaf, near Dub lin, nnd received his education nt the academy of Edinburg, under Dr. AVit liams, the famous Homeric scholar, the friend nnd nssociato of Sydney Smith, tho founder of tho Edinburg Review.
