As was stated lest week in the igs STAP ity of Butler’s belles in point of|ing.

If | ali three parties have a nominee the Democrats will elect in that Dis trict. Therefore, there is not only | a chance, but there are hopes of Mis- souri sending a solid delegation to Congress next fall. In forming the districts, let it be understood, the Democrats allowed in every instance for the combina- tion of the two opposing parties, and placed the-majority as near as could be divided to cover such um- ted opposition. As a matter of fact the Fourth, Eighth and Ninth, Dis- | tricts—the two last named bemg in the city of St. Louis—are very close, but the committee deemed it the best that could be done under existing circumstances. As for the accusation of gerryman- | der that may now or hereafter be heard trom the opposition, but little pains need be taken to quiet and re- but. There may be some apparent incongruous united in torming districts, but there are none that partake of half the gerrymander- Re- pardonable sin ot indulging im a ht- | tle flattery, having no other than mere loca] significance. is True it is, the women ot Jefferson “are daughters of Missouri.’” They partake of a large share of the Commonwealth’s glory and grandeur, and far be it from our de- sire to utter a disparaging word of their beauty, of their nobleness ot character and of their many distin- guished attainments, but the exis- tence of this fact does not deny equal attributes, and as we believe a little superiority in beauty, to the women of Bates county’s capital city. But the animus of the 7Z7rzbune article is attributed to this source: Whenever any reference made not absolutely in applause of Jeffer- son City, the Z7zbune bounces the author with the ferocity of a mad lioness and at once conyicts him of being an avowed enemy of that dwarf borough and in favor of remove ing the Capital to Sedalia. And | further, in its zeal te elicit sympa- | thy, the 7rzéune does not hesitate | in making palpably talse statements. | For instance, take its statement that | every member of the Legislature signed the petition to Congress, ask- ing that the proposed new govern- ment building be located at Jeffer- | son City, when the fact is a number ot members, our own among the | rest, refused to sign the petition. We apprehend the 7Z?rébuxe is|the case in Wisconsin, where dis- like the family who suddenly came | tricts two hundred by in possession of considerable wealth, | fifty wide can be pointed out.
