The Cairo Daily Bulletin

The Democrats must nominate-if they do nominate a ticket-good men for the city offices. They cannot succeed if they do not. The tricksters must be compelled to stand back, and the better class of citizens must not permit the government of the municipality to fall into the hands of the infernal croakers-the gray-backed ancients who weep when they see a new building going up, who croak over their cups and look daggers if they do not use them at any man who dares to question the wisdom of the stand-still policy of these moss-covered frauds. We must nominate live men-men who have the wisdom to appreciate the fact that Cairo has a great future, and who, having the knowledge of this fact, have also the will and ability to do something to shape the municipal policy so as to hasten the dawn of the good time coming. But deliver us from the domination of Radicals, niggers or moss-covered Democrats.
