FOR SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, | GOV. T. T- ORITTENDEN- Now that it is definitely decided that Grover Cleveland is elected | president of the United States, dem- ocratic cabinet makers are busily at work fixing up a body of advisers for the democratic president. A great portion of the Missouri press 1s of the opinion that the present executive ot this great state would be a good man tor the office of Sec retary of the Interior. The Times gladly unites with its democratic cotemporaries in wishing that Presi- dent Cleveland will see fit to ap- point Gov. Crittenden as one of his advisers in the above named capaci- ty. That such appointment would be a wise and judicious one cannot be questioned. Gov. Crittenden was a distinguished soldier in the union army during the late unpleas- antness. After the war he returned to his home in Missouri and resumed the practice ot law, in which profes- sion he soon took position as one of the ablest and shrewdest lawyers in the west. He was soon elected to congress and held a seat in that distinguished body of Americans tor three consecutive terms, and during that time he was always found on the side of the people, being instru- mental in enacting and passing measures which have redounded, not only to the good of his constituents here at home, but to the everlasting benefit of the people of the entire west. The people of Missouri were so pleased with his course in the national congress, that they elevated him to the exalted position ot gov ernor, and i that capacity, as in all others, he has proven true to the duties imposed upon him, and has adhered strictly to the principles of the democratic party, viz: he has upheld the dignity and the majesty of the law, and his administration has been characterized by economy and honesty. But. aside trom ail this, there are J. D. ALLEN Epiror. Sa TY i. D.

The Cleveland elec- grown and prospered as no other tors in the lone star state received ower 100,000 majority, and it wasn’t a good day for voting in Texas eith- er. section of this country has, until the last few years, when great tracts of land in this section have been grant- ed to the eastern monopolists through the legislation of a republican con- gress. The democratic party ot Missouri has tought stronger against the granting of the public domain in the west to build up and foster these monopolies than has that party done in any other state, and the Missour: democracy, wtih her handsome ma-— jority, should receive some recog- nition from the party in the nation. T. T. Crittenden has been thorough- ly schooled in western democracy ; he understands the needs and is fully in sympalhy with the people ot this section; he 1s a true representa- tive of the best element of the west, aad.1s honest, intelligent and capa- ble. He first recognized im the great teform governor ot New York those peculiar qualifications to recommend him to the people for chief exceu- tive of this nation, and President Cleveland could not subserve the interests of the people of the west better than by appointing Gov. T. T. Crittenden as Secretary of the Interior. Let our brethren of the country press speak out on this question and soon our clanns will be recognized. BLAINE’S HARANGUB. Iu the wail sent up by the tattoo- ed statesman there :s not a word or sentiment expressed betoken of a great or good man. either as a states- man or citizen, but consists ot a trade of hate and yenom heaped upon his opponents, breathing out hus curses in the form of base and un- warrantable: attacks upon sections and states that dared to cast their ballots for honesty and retorm. His speech savors of treason throughout, as much so as any sentence ever ut- tered by Aaron Burr. He tries, in his most eloquent sophistry, to incite the people of one section against an- other and it there :s a law m the land to punish traitors against the gener-— al government, it should be enforced in the instance of this worst of tra:t- ors, James G. Bla:ne. He is an en? emy to the general government and The ranting, blustering tattooed statesman must have looked mourn- tully upon the monster democratic johtycation at his own home on the ztst inst. and grieved thathe could not gather his wayfaring children un- aer his protecting wing. By reading the Grand Jury’s re- port it will be seen that the so-call- ed jail in this city has again been condemned. In the language ot that great republican statesman trom Texas, Mr. Flanagan, ‘‘what are you going to do about :t Tt occurs to us that it is about time to remind our esteemed republican contemporaries that Cleveland’s electoral vote is 21g and that only 201 are necessary to a choice.

This is not true. when the returns shall have all been count- ed it will be found that Cleveland received a majority ot the popular vote as he has the electoral. But even if it were true that Cleveland was elected bya minority popular vote it comes with poor grace from the leader of a minonty party Jwhich has ruled the country for 24 years. The popular vote for Abraham Lin- coln the first Republican President, in 1860, was 1.866,000 and against him 2,So0,0co. In the three next elections there was no poll ot the popular vote. In 1876 the result was a popular majority for Tilden of 252,000 and in 1880 Garfield was chosen by a minority vote. The state and congressional elections of 1882 which gave the house of 1epre- sentatives the democrats and showed twenty-five of the thirty- eight states with democratic gover- the country to nors made it clear that was democratic and that the nant republican party was a mmori- ty of the people. domi- One, musing upon the borrible crime for which Oliver Bateman w executed at Savannah Mo.. last Fri- day, wonders if the brute is so dom— inant insome men that there a moral deformity, a moral insensibili- ty that makes him more of an animal than aman, who while lacking all sensibiiity has the intellectua! capac- ity to perform all ordinary functions Such a character would be ot of life. a strange and startling type genus homo, one whose possibilities the of evil are so unbounded that the very thoughts of which is to make society tremble with hroror.
