BUTLER, MISSOURL WEDNESDAY EVE. JUNE 14 1882 HON. J. N. BRADLEY. Among the first names suggested in the fore part of the Congressional race in this district was that of Hon. J. N. Bradley, of Bates county. It was not done upon any authority of his, but wholly upon the part of his friends, who were acquainted with his feelings and knew his aversion to the labor his candidacy would entail, from the beginning. Hoping, how- ever, that the Senator would in time consent to the urgent solicitations of friends and allow his personal! wishes to be overruled, realizing as they did the splendid chances for his nomi- nation and election, and the excel- lent ability and experience he would bring to the performance of the du- ties of the position, they insisted that he withhold a decision until the tullest consideration could be giyen the subject. Now, that Bates county has an ayowed candidate for Congressional honors in the person of Mr. J. W- Abernathy, and that it is the duty of Democrats to see that the county’s strength is concentrated for the man of its choice, Senator Bradley will withhold no*longer his decision in the premises, and therefore, authorizes the statement that he is not, nor will he be, a candidate for Congress be- fore the approaching convention. Strange as it may séem to those who do not know him intimately, Senator Bradley has declined to make the race upon the ground that he is tired of office and active poli- tics, and desires that season ot rest and comfort such only as a_retire- ment from public life can bring. As matters now stand Mr. Aber- nathy will have no opposition in the county for its choice in the nomi- nating convention. The position the Times has occupied in reterence to the Congressional matter 1s doubt- less well understood in the county and out of it. We expressed our choice for Senator Bradley months ago, and have but to regret that he did not think as his triends did. He is out of the race now, and our choice 1s Bates county’s choice, who- ever thagfnay be. THE BROOKFIELD BANK ROBBERY. Missouri is again shocked by an- other bank robbery, as bold and dar- ing as any ever committed under the leadership of fesse James# And if there be any difference the last even goes a degree beyond the most reck- less act ot the dead bandit. At a time when public discussion has not yet ceased over the taking off of the chief, and when the detective force is still on the lookout for more game of the same sort, four men, masked and armed to the guard, ride into a tewnin open daylight and by the same familiar tactics rob. a bank of $4,000 and then deliberately make their escape. Surely the day of brigandage is not over in Missouri. The robbers’ roost has not yet been penetrated far enough to instill fear'and route the free-booters. Too much mourning was indulged in over the death of the chief to frighten and drive beyond our borders the men who follow in his wake. The brief period of rest, confidence and consolation over the riddance of robbers and bandits ha proyen a delusion, and worse than a snare, Theold cry of “the home of the bandits’” will go up from every enemy of Missouri, from Maine to California. The Radical press will pitch fuel into the flames, and the burning shame and disgrace of the Brookfleld robbery will turn off immigration and fasten another curse upon our Commonwealth’s es- cutcheon. Down with the bank every species of crime that defies | and outrages the law and the peo- ple. Hunt the Brookfield gang to the death; give them neither quar- ter nor mercy, and when results by such methods are reached, applaud | the glorious consummation and thus vindicate the law and our State’s honor. HUN. D. A- DE ARMOND.- Senator DeArmond, of Dade county, on his return from a trip to Kansas City, stopped off at Clinton last Monday. Senator DeArmond is desirous of becoming better acquain- ted with the Democracy of uld Hen- ry. Heis a young man, in the prime ot his usefulness, of a culti- vated and vigorous intellect, and a thorough-going and uncompromis- ing Democrat. before the Demucratic congressional convention.—|Henry county Dem- ocrat. Senator DeArmond has been” in this county looking up his chances for the nomination to Congress. He is not seeking to supplart any home candidate, but only asks the consideration of a second cheice in the convention. He is anxious that his presence in the county at any time shall not be misconstrued as opposed to a Bates coun- t { i | ty candidate, but desires simply to. become acquainted with our people to the end, that in the event the county delegation finds it necessary to make a second choice, he will then have some hope of support. It is hardly necessary to say that Senator DeArmond has been re- garded as the ablest member of the Missouri. Legislature, a profound lawyer, a logical cebater and a high- minded, cultured gentleman. As will be seen elsewhere, Wm. O. Jackson presents himself to the people as a candidate tor prosecu- ting attorney. Mr. Jackson is a lawyer of splendid acquirements, an excellent speaker close reasoner, and a Democrat from During the cimpaign two and in- stinct. years ago he did valuable work in) this county for the party, since which time he has studiously devoted him selt to his law books and the build- ing up of a practice. is well fitted in every way for the position he seeks, and will make a clean sweep if nominated. The ‘limes is authorized to an- nounce this week, for the cffice of Presiding Judge of the county court, Gon. J. A. city of Butler. ple in the comnty who do not, know Mr. Lefker, and recognize his ex- ecutive abilities. cesstul business man, an educated gentleman, well up inallthe require- ments necessary tor a Presiding Judge of a county like Bates. Few men could bring to the administra- tion of the position such ripe exper ence and such splendid require- ments. ee The Brookfield bank robbers are captured in Missouri and poy Mis- sourans. Only two days and nights were allowed to pass between the time the deed was committed and hour of the capture. Quick ‘work indeed, but just the right kind of work to in inflict upon bank 1o0bbers. A grand thing for Missouri it will be and let her have all credit tor it. All honor and applause for the de- termined men whe performed the good work. Clinton Democrat: Hon. Frank C. Nesbit, of St. Clair county, pres- ent secretary of the State Senate was in town yesterday. Mr. Nesbit one of the ablest and trust Demo- crats of the southwest. He is an un- assuming, cultured and polished gentleman, and invincible on the stump. He is taking a modest sur- vey of the congressional situation, and the probabilities are that he will enter the race. There are few peo- The Democratic Central Com- mittee of this county resolved itself into executive session last Saturday to consider the question of changing A full discussion of the matter was had, but the majority of the com- mittee could not see the wisdom of a change, and therefore the date al- ready fixed will remain undisturbed.

Connard and others | Gentlemen:—TYo your call pub- | lished in the Tres of Saturday, re- in this district for representative in congress, 1 take this early oppor- | tunity to reply, in view of the near approach ot the conyention in this ; county whose duty it will be to select | the delegates to the congressional convention. Ihave heretofore been | disinclined to enter the political field {as a candidate, and had, some weeks | since, almost decided not to do. so. | Lately, besides yourselves, numbers | of prominent Democrats in other sec- tions of the country have asked meto allow my name to be used ; and from what I can gather from the best in- formed representative men of the county,there is a prevailing sentiment insympathy with your suggestion, that Bates, one of the largest and best counties in the district, and one of the leading counties in the State, with her solid Democratic majori | of over one thousand, should be rep- | resented in the congressional conven- tion by a candidate trom among her own citizens. Yielding to this senti- ; ment, and to the wishes of my many friends, at the same time net attempt- | ing to conceal a laudable ambition to represent the district in congress, 1 my name in the convention. Iam not at present aware that | there will be anothercandidate in the | county, but should there he, the con- test tor the delegation will, so far as! | myself and friends are concerned, be | ‘ carried onin the true spirit ot Democ- racy, andina gentlemanly, honorable and friendly manner; and Lam cer- | tain the same spint will characterize jthe course of any opponent I may have, and also that of his friends. ! Peace and harmony are what the party need, and must have at this | time; and should there be any other citizen Bates county would prefer to honor instead of myself, I shall cheerfully and heartily acquiesce in the will of the majority, and labor zealously as I have in the past for the success of Democratic pminci- ples, and the people’s choice. oe mg you, gentlemen, for this mark of your confidence and esteem, ‘1 have the honor to be Your Ob’t Serv’t, i Jso.
