BUTLER, MISSOURI. WEDNESDAY EVE. MARCH, 232, 1882. FOR CONGRESS WHC? ] That 1sa hard question to answer at this writing. There are so many candidotes in the field, with, still more coming, and the political in- terests of the district are so diversifi- ed, that even the most subtle manip- ulator is staggered at the proposition as tu who will be the most available man, and the successtul nominee. Halt the counties in the district, it not more, will have at least one | caused by the late floods is still very | locks candidate who will be willing, after the accustomed importunities ot friends, to make the necessary sac- tifce, and take the standard in hand if perchance, fate leads him to the altar. But then, this is a mighty un- certain world, at best, and politics is about the most uncertain thing in it. Returning, however, to the more serious aspect of the subject, all Democrats will agree as to the im- portance of the position to be filled. It is hoped that when the delegates assemble in convention, there will prevail among them nothing but the most harmonious spirit, and patriot- 1c generosity. anything short of this 1s likely to prove suicidal to the party. If the Democracy enters the cam- paign led by a man of brains, ex- perienced in legislation, a clean pub- lic record and a_ private character against which no breath of suspicion has ever been directed, there can be fittle or no question as to the result, but. nominate a man devoid of these requisites and deteat will stare us in the face from the start. The question then arises, who is the man possessing the require- ments? And from whence does he come? Speaking solely upon our own re- sponsibility, without any special authority to speak for any one else, we know at least one man who pos- sesses the requisites above specified. _and hails trom the Democratic “em- pire ot Bates. We allude to no oth- er than the Hon. J.-N. Bradley. This is done without Maj. Bradley’s knowledge, and not knowing pos- itively that he will consent to be a candidate, but satisfied that the De- mocracy of this county would deligh: to honor him as its choice, and the fact of his name having been men- tioned freely and favorably by the press of the district, we assume to speak of him in this connectioa. Having served tour years in the House and an equal number in the Senate of the Missouri Legislature, Senator Bradley is thus qualified by experience to at once take an ad- vanced position iy national affairs. He is as true a Democrat as ever drew inspiration from the principles of Jefferson. An honest farmer, a dignified citizen, possessing a full ameasure of ability, industry and cour- age, and with a private, moral char- acter without blot or blemish. So implicit is the confidence reposed in Major Bradley, and so unrversal the esteem of his party and the people of the county, that he would have no competitor in the county convention or the primaries It any other gen- tlemen have been alluded to serious- ly as probable candidates, it is gen- erally conceeded now that they have determined not to enter the canvass. The teeling to put Senator Bradley forward as the choice of the Bates county Democracy regardless of his own disinclination perhaps, israpidly growing, and it is earnestly hoped the Senator will give the matter very careful thought before hi - emtorially jecta. eee Seas at TR RN emer aL mate ee It you are suttering from indigesti = eompriistot the Stomach OE Bowels, in t i the Brickley great relief by using property of gently relieving these gans and them in = geod aoa ¥ condition. 13-tt The destitution on the Mississippi , great.

Crittenden to convene the Legisla- | ture to redistrict the State. The Star | evidently arrogates to itself a very | large degree of metropolitanism which is about as disgusting to the intelligent reader as its sensational columns usually are. Dr. Lee, the insane asylum man, arrived in the city some days ago and called on the ‘‘Booming Times’’ to become acquainted. The ‘*booming Times” ot last Tuesday says, *‘the doctor thinks there will be notrouble in filling his asylum yery soon.”” We haye given the doctor and his project every reasonable encouragement and shall continue to Go so, but would advise him to extend his acquaintance alittle turther before indulging in such sanguine figuring.—Record a The Timss 1s recognized, and ex- pected to take the lead in every im- provement and public enterprise of the city.
