GREAT GATHERINGS. Grand Assemblage of Ex-Confeder- ates at Kearney, Ciay County— gAn Unusnal Attendance. The Preliwinary Steps Toward Pur- chasing a Cemetery for the Con- federate Dead. Kearney, Mo., Aug. 15.—The jargest number of people that ever assembled in Clay county congregat- ed at Kearney to-day, the occasion being a meeting ot ex-confederate and union soldiers to take the pre- hminary steps toward purchasing a cemetery and erecting monuments to the confederate dead. At an early hour the people be- gan to gather, notwithstanding the heavy rain of the night previous and the threatening aspect of the early morning hours. The train from the east was crowded, and brought with it the Cameron cornet band, and the one from Kansas City when it left Liberty did not have an extra inch of standing room within the cars, and the platforms were equally as crowd- ed. Every road leading into the city was lined with every description of vehicle, and thousands of people, birthday attire, were gathering to celebrate the day oldand young, in and do honor to the people’s dead. Among the number union soldiers who met the were many toes of twenty years ago and were side hy side to the grounds north of the city, where old recounted and battles, in words, fonght again. On arriving at the banks of creek the first team, one filled supplies belonging to Samuel Pence, stories were over Clear with went up to their neck’s into the stream, and the goods and wagon- bed went careening to the far, tar east. The horses were rescued, but the wagon and stock was a total wreck. The procession was then headed toward the railroad track, and thousands of people walked over mile to the grounds, crossing the stream on the railroad bridge, the result of the small streams getting up was the immense number of people were divided, some three or four thousand remaining in and about Kearney, and six to eight thousand celebrating on the opposite grounds on the porth side of Clear creek, where stands and booths had been erected and speeches were made. CALLED TO ORDER. The prsiedent of the Clay county association, Dr. J. M. Allen, about 11 o'clock called the meeting to or- der, and an erganization was imme- diately effected tor the purpose of raising tunds to improve and beauti- fy the confederate burial grounds at Springfield, and to gather together in this one place the heroic dead now lying where they fell throughout the state and on southern battle fields. Hon. J. T. Chandler, after brietly stating the object of the meeting, and paying a tribute to the heroes | who had been engaged in the conflict on a both sides, introduced Hon. T. F. Campbell, who resided at the be- ginning of the war at Liberty, and who has since been until president of the Christian college ot the state of Oregon. He was en- thustastic in his praise of Clay coun- ty, and the gallantry ot Missourians recently who tought on both sides in the fate | war, and especialiy of the of Clay county, : Dr. J. M. Allen of liberty tollow- edand reviewed with much teel- ing the services, battles, victories and defeats of Missouri soldiery on the many fields ot battle, and espec ally those fought on Missouri soil. He spoke ot the duty each ex-con federate owed to his dead tons now strewn all over and the southern states to keep fra- sons compan- ward and protecting their graves. Hon. John T. Chandler then urg- edall to give what they felt it to be their duty in forwarding the usetul object, and a large number, inclu- ding the tollowing immediately sub- stibed $25 each: William Pence, Jobn T. Chandler, Captain John S. Groom, Hon. Bluford Thomson, L.B. Dougherty, Wm.L. Akeley. | T. 1. Moore and Dr. J. M. Allen. There were several other $25 sub- Setibers whose names were not ob- Missouri | tained. These were followed by smaller amounts’ swelling the total up into the thousands. A commit- tee ot ladies was then appointed to solicit subscriptions on the grounds in any amount, troma nickle up, and reaped a large reward, very few rejecting to contribute something. Mr. Chandler then read a number of letters of request from distinguish- ed gentlemen, including those ot Senator Vest, off for the Pacific with President Arthur, but enclusing a subscription to the cause, and ofter- ing to canvass the state for the ob- ject of the meeting on his return ; one | i } i from General Marmaduke who had a prior engagement in the same cause and the same day, and a tele- | gram from Hon. Bashaw stating that he had missed connection at Moberly and could not reach the grounds. Combinations Against the Democ- | raey. Mo Republican.

Those Democrats of Missouri who are Greenbackers had one bitter les- son in Republican Greenbackism in the winter of 1881, when the four forearmed. in Greenbacker members of congress | they assisted to elect were found vot- ing with the Republicans on all im- portant questions of the day—and this ought to last them a_ lifetime. As to local matters, no state the Union is more wisely and reasonably governed than the Democrats have governed Missouri, and that party may be safely trusted to govern the state for many years to come.. It has recognized and respected the in- in creasing temperance ing law, and it will as taithtully deal with all other local questions in which the wishes of the people are mam- test. We shall probably hear ot Independent,” *‘People’s’’ and other such movements all over Mis- souri next year, and it well for Democrats to beware of them. They be nothing but Republican movements in disguise. is will Texas Bill’s Bad Break. | Hutchinson, Kansas, August | The city was throw. into a turmoil | of excitement at noon yesterday by | the murder of a baker, named Den- | ger, by one Emmerson, alias Texas Bill.
