The matter as to who will be the sominees of the Democratic party at Chicago is no longer a doubtful ques- tion. ‘Lhe oid ticket, Tilden and Uendricks, will receive the unani- «mous vote of the convention, and it will, asis proper it should, be by acclamation. This is as certain as any future political event can be. The Democrats ot Missour: are well nigh a unite for the old ticket, among the first of which stand the Democracy of Bates county. The people realize that in the persons of Tilden and Hendricks the Demo- cratic party finds its strongest issue upon which to fight the torthcommg Presidential battle. The tanff and civil service retorm are prominent questions, no doubt, that will enter largely into the campaign, but that which will electrify the people is the “fraud otf 1876." Not to nominate the old ticket would be the greatest blunder the party ever made. While as we say the selection of Mr. Tilden is a toregone conclusion, it should be eyinced by that spontan- “ity which emanates direct from the people and finally declared in con- vention by a hearty, unanimous ac- clamation. To that end let the con- vention which assembles in Butler Saturday instruct the delegation to St. Louis to yote us a unite tor dele— gates to the national conyention who are known to be tor the re-nomina- tion of the old ticket. ——___.

The Butler committee is still do- ing nothing. The gentlemen seem to be waiting for something to “turn up.’”” The citizens of Motrose haye ap- pointed a committee to visit Butler Friday, this week, to confer with our committee as to the best measures to pursue relative to the proposed Gulf road from La Cygne to Brownington. Let earnest work commence now, and not let up till something 1s ac- complished. St. Louis Republican: Gov. Fos- ter of Ohio, is in Washington, con- ferring with capitalists, with a view to forming a company to construct a railroad from St. Louis to Utah. The road to be built will be known as the St. Louis, Kansas City and Western, ot which Mr. Foster is to be president, and Mr. H. C. Cross of Empona Kas., the vice-president. The road 1s to run from St. Louis to Kansas City, through the coal fields ot Bates county, Mo., Emporia, Kas. Pueblo, Denver, Leadville and to a point between Colorado and Utah. Articles of incorporation have already been filed with the secretary ot the State of Kansas. The capital stock 1s $50,000,000. Among the direct- ors are Gov. Foster, Senator Miller of New York and the Hon. Amos Townsend ot Cleveland: Appleton Journal: We notice that the grade of the Si. LE. & W., between this city and Rich Hill, is advertised to be so'd by a Master in Chauncery on the igth of this month at which time it is the intention of the company that has been formed in this city to buy the road bed and complete itat once. Everything is now in shape, and justas soon as they can get possesion of the title our people intend that the road shall be built. A corps of surveyors, employed by the Kansas City Ft, Scott and) Gult Co., are now surveying a road from La Cygne, Kan.. via But- ler to Brownington. They crossed the M.K.& T., at Montrose this week, and are now on their way to the latter town. It is said that Mr. Clapp, the chief engineer of the Co., is exceedingly well pleased with the developments so far made by the survey. Clinton Democrat: M jor Clapp with his suryeving party, arrived in Clinton from the south part ot the county yesterday. He had just com- pleted a line running from LaCygne, Kansas, oa the Fort Scott } & Gult road, through Butler ana Montrose to the coal fields near Brownington. Atter running that line, he started from two miles west of Brownington to run a line by the way ct Clinton and Harrisonville to Ochiltree, the latter about 28 miles this side of Kansas City.on the Ft. Gulf. The line from the coal fields to Clinton passes mainly over easy grades At one place, at or near the Carlisle tract, belonging to Keith & Perry, a 50 foot grade will be nec. essary.

When asked, will you become a candidate before the Democratic convention tor the nomi- nation for the office of Representa- tive. Mr, Henry said: Henry ‘Well I was informed yesterday by Judge Edwards, of Grand River township, that a number of the most prominent gen- tlemen of our party in that section had signed a call, asking me to go before the convention for that pur- pose, and many of the old line Democrats with whom I worked when the party was in the minority, haye personally requested me to do so, and I have thought that I would not, and have so expressed myself. But I will say to you now that while I do not expect to make any canvass for the nomination, nor shall I resort to any scrambie, pulling or hauling for it; yet if the gentlemen who compose the convention desire my services in the Legislature during its next session, on behalf uf the public, 1 will accept the nomination, and it elected will try to come up to their exspectancy in the discharge of the duties of the office. This effectually settles the ques- tioaasto Mr. Henry’s candidacy. A. Henry worked hard to build up the Democratic party in its infancy m this county, and has lived so long with this people that he has vecome identified with every interest, and theretore, would make a most exem- plary Representative. The Tins can say to Mr. Henry’s credit, that he has finally concluded to become a candidate only from the strongest pressure ot his friends and the lead- ing men ot his party.
