Rarely do the ives ot Democracy in a great State like Missouri deliberately stultify them- selves, and by the act fasten the crime on the entire party, bv ignor- ing, in any kind of a State conven- ton, theirown administration and straying off with the back-biters and the mongrels who care more tor self representa than party interests. Bat, this is just what was done at St. Louis right for Gov. Crittenden to be a He did not ask the po- admin- last week. It was all candidate. sition as a vindication of his stration. However it was so con- strued, and why? Simply because the anti-Crittenden taction headed by Charlie Mansur wanted it to be 30 understood, that they might be better able to gain a victory over the administration at the expense of the party. And what was it tor? Revenge! Mansur and his crowd stultifies, dis- gtaces, outrages the Democratic Party to ‘get even with Crittenden.”’ But all who voted against Critren- den did not do it wholly from the above reason. Then what else must the public infer that they have against the Governor. Must it go abroad that the ‘‘robber band’’ sen- timent rules the roost. in Missouri? Must the Governor be abandoned in ais party convention because he de- ! stroyed every vestige ot train and Sank robbing in the State, and re- moved trom her escutcheon the dis- herewr that had stained it for more than a decade. The State Vemocracy must come to its senses, and that, pretty soon. At the rate it 1s now going cur | boasted majority will ere long be trit- tered away, and we will be left stand- ing where our unwise corduct lead us. There are too many strange ma- nipulations ot matters to make suc- cess permanent. There are too ‘3any men who work in the Demo- i <tatic party from the lowest to the bighest positions just for the crumbs they may gather from the official sribs.

He has performed his duty always. and no public trust has been harmed or betrayed while in his hands. The handhng of the coun— ty’s funds 1s, perhaps, the most im- portant trust the people have to del- egate, and party conventions are us- ually careful in selecting candidates for this position. Mr. Catron is serving his first term as Treasurer, having filled tormerly the position ot Collector betore that office was abolished. His entire record has been satistactory to the public so far as the Toes is able to ascertain. Mr. Catron now aspires to a_ re- election as Treasurer, and so tar seems to have the field alone. It is presumed he will have opposition, however, in which case the conven- tion will still do justice to Mr. Cat- Ton’s merits The name of one of Bates county’s oldest and widest known citizens and Democrats, Pierce Hackett. of Ho- mer township, is placedin our an- nouncement column this week for Representative. Hs record is not noted for its office seeking tenden- cies, though he once aspired to be a member of the county court. As a Democrat he never kicks from the traces in which he has worked faith— fully and beneficially to his party for along term, in season and out of season. Asa private citizen he 1s looked upon as a man_ ot superior qualifications, by those who know him best, tor any position in the gift of the people of the county, and es- pecially is he urged as a fit person to make a good Representative. Mr. Hackett will have a large following in the convention, There could be no word ot praise spoken of Judge Gannt’s course dur- ing the term of court just closed, that would be at all ill-tumed or in excess ot his just deserts While the two murder cases were under trial he maintained a position satisfactory to all partes concerned, and the public | has discussed in complimentary lan- guage his fairness and anilitv as a Judge. There are few men better fitted for the bench than Judge Gantt. He is a Christian gentleman, con— scientious though determined in the pertormance ot duty—just the man to occupy so important a position. There was but one ballot taken in the St. Louis convention Jast Wed- nesday for the four delegates atlarge to Chicago. The twelve delegates trom Bates county yoted as follows: Muntord - - - - To O’Day - 12 Crittenden 9 Francis - - - - 12 It will be observed from the above that two of the delegates declined to vote for Dr. Munford. and likewise three for Crittenden The Democratic Central Commit- tee of the twelfth Congressional dis- trict, met at Nevada, last Saturday, and transacted the business before it. The time fixed for holding the con- vention was August 26th, and the place Appleton city. The ratio of representation is one delegate for each two hundred votes, ora traction over one hundred. cast for Hancock in 1880. “It is rumored that Gov.

Nevada Mai?: Stste Treasurer Phi!. E. Chappell has accepted the Dosition of cashier of the Traders’ Bank at Kansas City. Nevada Maz/: =x-Governor Hardin thinks Tilden will accept the nommation if offered him by accla- mation. It is probable that the con- vention will at least give the old man an opportunity for a refusal direct. The position that his letter w writ- ten as a suggestion and not a_ final dechnation may be tenable. Warrensburg J-D: The defeat of Gov. Crittenden by 12 votes and of ex-Goy. Hardin and of Hon. John G.

Harrisonville Democrat. But little, so far, has been said in our county respecting the race: for congress. But three men has been Prominently spoken of for that of- fice. J. W. Abernathy, W. J. Stone and Hon. C. H. Morgan. From a conversation with Democrats from various parts of the county we find that each have edhererts, but we believe at present, Mr. Morgan is the favorite. All admit that he makes us a good congressman, and the fact that he refuses to leave Washington while congress is in ses- sion has made him many triends. Now that the congressional commit- tee has been called together, we ex- pect the interest to increase. HON. B. G. BOONE. Clinton Democrat: The name of Hon. B. G. Boone, of Henry county, is now prominently before the Democracy of the State for the office of Attorney-General. The office ts one of grave importance to in every way qualified for the faith- ful and efficient discharge of the du- ties ot that office. Here in Henry ; County and throughout the southwest where Mr. Boone has lived and Practiced his profession trom his | boyhood, and where the people have { | know him—politically, personaliy and professionally—the Democracy cheerfully attest his real worth and merit as a citizen, a Democrat and a lawyer. His legal ability is known and recognized by the entire har of the State.

Thos. H. Par- ish, of Holt; Hon. T. P. Bashaw, of Monroe; Judge L. F. Dinning, of Washington; Hon. Frank II. Hefferman, of Greene; Hon. Sam H. Owen, of Momiteau:; and the present mcumbent, Hon. D. H. McIntyre. On the final ballot be- tween Mcintyre and Boone, it was universally conceded by al! parties in the convention that Mr. Boone received a majority of the votes; but there were some unauthorized chang- es made, which naturally produced excitement and confusion, when Mr. Boone, true te his instinct as a man and a Democrat, forced his way to the stand and moved that the nomination of McIntyre be made The official count of those authorized | { } end other able, pcpular and Ceseryues unanimous. the vote after changes, was— McIntyre. 199207}3 Boone... ooo nse The manly and unselfish conduct ot Mr. Boone on that occasion won the respect and admiration ot the entire convention, and we earnestly and confidently beheve that the na- tive and inherent sense of justice in the Democracy of the State will ap- preciate and reward it in the conven- tion. A WORD TO THE WISE. Commissioner Wolfe Tells How En— gines Should be Crossed Over Bridges. Eriror Timres:—As threshing time is near at hanc’, and the moving of engmes from one section to an- other a natural consequence, I de- sire through your columns to say a tew words, rather of warning than otherwise, to the owners of engines, regarding the crossing of bridges. There are no bridges in the coun- ty, excepting the new ones now be- constructed, that strong enough to bear up an engine, with safety. I would suggest that in all cases heavy plank be laid on the floor ot the bridge, the team taken from the engine and the latter taken over by hand with exceeding caution. There is no law prohibiting en- gines from being crossed on bridges, nor has the county court the power to prevent it. I can only suggest the danger to which Ife and property are subjected in attempting to cross bridges without due precaution. However, persons who cross engines on bridges, or cause any other ex- cessive weight to be put thereon be- yond the capacity of the structure, are lable to the county tor whatever damages that may occur, while the responsible ing are county can not be held for anything in such cases. Therefore, to prevent accidents and trouble [ think it would be wise, that the precaution suggested above | be observed in crossing all bridges | with engines. Respecttully, M. L.

This animal weighed 1, 025 when delivered at Windsor. Dr. Gray has tea short horn cows, and will soon have four male calves ready tor service. Harrisonville Democrat: The corn, flax and oats throughout Cass county 1s doing fine and the prospect for a heavy yield was never more flattering, and within the next ten days or two weeks, the vast fields of wheat will have been garnered in.
