JUNE 21 1882 PAPER PriscsiPect Senor Becerra RETO ———— WHAT OF THE OUTLOCK. This is a moment of speculation and distrust in Missouri politics, and particularly in the southwest. It is the time of all others tor thought, care and judicious management. In the approaching Democratic con- ventions ot all grades, peace and harmony should characterize the de- liberations, and the results must be no mistake. The Democratic party of the country is counting on an in- crease of four members from Mis- sourim the next Congréts. The question, as it presents itself to us, is, can we, or can we not, tulfill the expectation? An attempt to Mahoneize Mis- sour: foreshadowed in the outlook months ago, is now about as near the fact as it is possible anything which has not actually transpired can be. Who are to be the chozen leaders, no one, we presume, are at this time able to say, but there is one thing about which there can be but little dispute—western Missouri is to be the commencement of the, con- flict. Already in this, our own district, the preliminary work of organization has commenced. The plan is to disregard Democratic nominations and under the disguising, deceiving battle cry of *‘loyal Democracy’? the first act of political revolution is to be inaugurated. *‘Loyal Democracy,’’ what does it mean? According to the old-fash- foned definition it means fidelity to Democratic principles and the Demo- cratic party from the organization of the Government. The new interpre- tation means secession trom the old party and a sort of amorous union with Greenbackers and Radicals. The disaffected, discordent, muti- neous, Democrats so-called, ‘are to amake the break, nominate a ticket of soft-headed adventurers, then the Rads. and G. B’s. are to fall iatoline and constitute the tale end .of' the monkey. There 1s being quietly circulated in Cass county a petition calling up- on all ‘loyal Democrats’”” to meet in convention at Harsisonville, on July 1st, for the purpose of organiza- tion. Members of the old Crisp faction are doing the work, and are evidently proceeding under higher authority, at least some of their own men tell it that way. To what extent the program will be foi}owed remains to be seen; it is known quite positively, however, that the purpose is to disrupt four Con- gressional districts and send four representatives to Congress who will stand solid against the Demo- crats and in with the Republicans. Democrats, leok to your picket lines and see that no inroads are made on your territory. Se cearaaedeameemme’ ABOUT BUTLER’S OELEBRATION.- It is strange, indeed, that when- ever Butler makes an effort to cele- brate the 4th of July, there are al- ways afew grumbling, mouthing, jealous individuals who take it upon themselves to disconcert every plan by pitching all sorts of rubbish stuff in the way, at the same time keep- ing themselves well in disguise, un- der a becoming cloak of pretentious zeal and ambiguous comment. On every occasion some flippan: pretext 1s sought for and is always found ; then this and that little ob-. jection is raised and the trouble be- gins. This year the fact that Col. Crisp is to deliver the oration tur- mishes, ostensibly, the disturbing plea, but the real cause may have a The mouth piece of the fault- finding, dissentious element fears a 's z ‘¢demonstration in the interest of Ma- honeism and Crispism,’’ and be- cause of that apprehension they pro- pose to deal hghtly with the busi- ness, entertaining the secret hope that the boom will burst before the proper time arrives. The disre- spectful appellation of “Jumbo” is | suggestive of the past, and opens the valve of prejudice on the one side and jealousy on the other. To satisfy a lengthy period of pent-up gaul and a disposition to set down upon everything their slow judge- ment does net dictate, these very patriotic and easily frightened per- sons would oppose an important local interest and aim to bring dis- aster upon Butler’s business efforts The celebsation of the 4th of July is not a political event; the bring- ing of Col. Crisp here on that day has no political significance, and the people know it. Umbrage is only taken because the managers of the celebration did not consult and advise with them to the exclusion of everybody else. The proposed cele- bration is for the interest of Butler and her busmess men. It is her business men, her merchants, her shop-keepers, her .. advertisers, all who are doing the werk, ‘who in- augurated the arrangements. The chief feature for the occasion is John T. Crisp; he is the winning card, the main object of attraction. Let no doubt of his coming’ atise; he will be here as sure as the sun: rises and sets, it kind Providence does not forbid. The splendid program will be carried out to the letter, which in- cludes a setting-down uponall chron- ic blusterers and enemies to Butler’s best business interests. A JOURNALIST GONE. Capt. John Brand, managing edi- tor ot the Bates county Republican, published in this city, died in his room, at the Palace hotel, on Satur- day afternoon, of ulceration of tke throat, which caused the breaking of a blood yessel, producing death very suddenly. Capt. Brand was over sixty years of age, and had served his lite time in the printer’s profession. Hecame to Bates county from Carrollton, Missouri, about two years ago and located in the Review office at Rich Hill. Whenthe Republzcan com- pany was organized it unanimously selected Capt. Brand as managing editor of the paper, in wnich capacity he was only permitted to serve about six weeks, Tbe deceased was an able writer, a clever gentleman and a useful citi- zen. He has been the publisher of many newspapers and his place in the ranks of journalism will be a difficult one to fill. Dx- A. OHUROHELL.- We call the attention ot our Demo- cratic friends to the card of Dr. A. Churchell, of Vernow county, pub- lished elsewhere in the Tores. As will be remembered Dr. Churchell has been chosen by the Vernon county Democracy as their candidate for Congress in the nominating con- vention. Dr. Churchell is regarded by those who have known him long and intimately as a gentleman of high moral, social and_ intellectual standing, and a Democrat pure and simple. He arrays himself squarely on the side of the people against the monopolist, and has given evidence of careful study of the great ques- tions. During the canvass, so far Dr. Churchell has been the recipient of numerous flattering notices from the Press of the district, and realizing that the people are the power, we would respectfully submit his. candi- dacy to them for thought and action. The Osceola Sux of the 15th an- nounces the candidacy of Hon. Frank C. Nesbit, of St. Clair county, for Congress in the 12th district, subject Should it become our lot we could completely deluged a iarge part ot the city, and drowning a dozen or more people. OHAS. W- SLOAN. Elsewhere among our announce- ments to-day will be seen that ot Chas. W. Sloan, of Cass county, placing himself before the people for the Democratic nomination for the State Senate. Mr. Sloan starts in the race with | the solid backing ot the Democracy of his county, in which taith he has been a zealous and _ conspicuous worker for a lite time. He gentleman respected at home and abroad for his pure, moral, splendid intellect and uncompromising in- tegrity. Competent in every par- ticular for the position to which he aspires, the party would feel honor- ed in his selection. Mr. Sloan does not, understand, ask the support of Bates county un- til after, if such a contingency arises, her ownefficient son. Hon. J. N. Ballard. fails to secure the nomina- tion. In such an event Mr. Sloan would ask our support, and his ap- plication will deserve careful con- ideration. =— THE OELEBRATION RAUKET. We were not aware that we were appointed on the committee on speakers. for the Butler fourth of July celebration, until informed so on yesterday. We interviewed J. C. Clark, Esq; the third member of the committee and find, so far as a majority of the committee is con- cerned,:° no speakers have been in- vited tor’the celebration. If John T. Crisp is to speak here ontne 4th, a majority of the ‘committee had ‘nothing to do with sending him an invitation.—[ Democrat. With a feeling of respect and com- passion for our neighber in his very humiliating posicon on the 4th of July business, we feel constrained,never- theless, to inform him, upon the subject. In the first place the orig- inal proceedings show that the edi- tor of the Democrat 1s no#a. mem- ber of the committee on speakers, and turthermere that he is not a member of and committee having in charge the celebration; and to be definite, though pointed, we are au- thoritively intormed that he was not wanted on any committee. The committee appointed to look after speakers is composed of the the followmg gentlemen: J. C. Clark; A. L. McBride; U. D. Aus- tin; Sam’! Levy and Chas. T. Mc- Farland. The sense ef the commit- tee has been taken with reference to the bringing of Col. Crisp here on the 4th, and the result shows four out of five favorable to his coming. How does that strike you fora ma- jority. The reader will be kind enough to excuse this personal mention: When the managers began arranging for the celebration, they requested the editorjof the Trves to commu- nicate with Col. Cnsp with a view of securing his presence and elo- quence for the occasion. We con- sented to do as requested and our efforts were successful. That action on the part of the managers was uxanimously approved in the meeting held subsequently, at which the various committees were ap- pointed. ‘The whole gist of the business is, the Democrat has been left in the make up of the program, because it has thrown cold water on the move- ment trom the start. The managers, who compose about all of the best business men in the city, knew this and have acted without advise or fa- vor from that quarter. The Tres understood the celebration to be a Butler enterprise and we went in to win, so far as our mite would con- tribute to that result, and we pro- pose to carry out our original pur- pose with redoubled zeal now since the humble part we have played has elicited so much opposition. aD Neyada .MaiZ: Senator DeAr- mond, it is said, is making a “still hunt”’ tor Congress in this district, but hasn’t yet. visited the banner county—Vernon. . We are all for Churchell here, but the Senator would meet with a cordial reception should he conclude to favor us witha cail. pow P ee Our neighbor is at ins old game ‘when he claims 9 eut ot 13 of the Mt.

The monopolists, through their hirelings, are at work endeavoring | by misrepresentations and fraud, to influence and compel you to support men who are ready to do their bid ding and receive the wages for their treachery. Year after year you have robbed by exorbitant charges for transportation of your stock, pro- duce, etc., and the high tariff has wrung money from you to enrich a few, and the intolerable taxes upon what you produce mainly go to sup- port an army of drones, who are the tools of those who oppress the labor- been grading. If I am chosen to fill the position of honor, my whole time shail be de- voted to the protection and de- tence of the people. A. CHURCHELL. Clinton Democrat: Hon. J. N. Bradley, one of the best and truest Democrats ot this district has retired from the race for Congress. Senator Bradley had not announced himself as in the race, but his name having been put forward by many admiring friends, and not desiring the honors, he has thought it right and proper to others who may want to make the race, to let it be known that he is not and will not be on the track. J. W. Abernathy, a talent- ed young attorney ot Butler, is an avowed candidate, and is asking for the endorsement of the Democracy of this county. For Presiding Judge of the Coun- ty Court, we announce to-day the name ot Aaron Hart. Who does not know Uncle Aaron Hart, the successful merchant and _ staunch Democrat? And we put the ques- tion who can doubt the ability of Mr. Hart for this very important po- sition? We take the liberty to say not one. He is a man of the people, hiked by eyerybody and his recerd as a business man fits him for the office to which he aspires. —_—SE Elsewhere in the Times Mr. J. L. Ludwick, of Mound township, an- nounces himself for county judge in the north district. Mr. Ludwick is one of our oldest and best citizens, and is fully qualified for the position of county Judge. Heis a man of sterling worth in the community where he has lived, and the people of the county and the Democratic party would be honored by his se- lection. Clinton Democrat: The Sena- torial Convention of this district will be called at Butler on July 13, provided the Bates county commit- teeman makes no objection to the date. Henry andCass have agreed and referred the matter to Bates. Dr. Pope Yeaman, of Columbia, is a candidate tor State Superintend- ent of Public Schools. Dr. Yeaman is regarded as the ablest divine in the Baptist faith in the State, and :s.a verv estimable and competent gen- tleman in every particular. M. A. Fike, present nominee of the Democracy of Henry county tor Representative, appears not satisfied with such meagre honors and has therefore announced himself for Congress in the Twelfth District. EEE The Butler school board will meet on Friday, July 7, 1882, at 10 a. m. to examine applicants for teachers to fili vacancies in the Butler Public schools. It will be necessary for each applicant to be present or their application will'not be acted upon. Carthage Patriot: The Green- field Advocate presents the name of D. A.
