Joe Gazette fhe Carroll County Democrat speaks up boldly and truthfully in defence ot Ex-Governor Crittenden, It has become a congemal pastime in Missouri of late tor democrats to devour democrats, and meaner, falser and more cowardly things have been said about the democratic ex- governor of the state by democrats than by the entire republican oppo- sition. We do not know why, except that when Crittenden was governor he in- sisted upon being governor. Some certain St. Louis rings sought to control him and tailed. Instantly those became abusive. Some St. Louis newspapers strove to own him and to dictate his policy—his ap- Pointments, his removals, and his actions generally—and when they failed in this they also joined in the General outcry and strove in and out ot season to pull him down. They haven’t done it yet. They are not likely to do it. Crittenden has mere friends to-day in ihe ranks ot the democratic party then he ever had and one ot these days, they will take particular delight in showing their strength, The Democrat says: However President Cleveland and the great east may regard Ex-Gov- ernor Crittenden, and however much their sensative organisms may have been shocked over the assassination of Jesse James, the People of the west, in general, and of Missoun, in Particular, propose to stand by Mr. Crittenden. He gave to the people of Missouri one of the best admunis- trations they ever had, and increased justre will be given it as time moves on. He was an honest, fearless ex ecutive, and not more connived at the assassination of Jesse James than did the man in the moon. The fact is, our worthy president and the east do not know Mr. Crittenden as we do of Missours; do not know the high place he now has, and will torever nold in the affections ot the people of this great commonwealth. They have taken a distorted view ot the man and of his executive actions, which, if corrected in the hght of tacts as they then and now exist, would enterely relieve their minds of the supposition that Tom Crittenden st | ever did, ot could haye done anv— thing not dignified nor manly. ‘When Baby was sick, we gare her Castoria, ‘Whea she was a Child, she cried for Castoria, Whea she became Mies, she clung to Castoria, ‘When she had Children, she gave them BUTLER, MISSOURI, WEDN DOWNED AT A DANCE. —_+ 0 e+ ____ George Reed's Dance Ends With a} Lively Fight. ——— ees -___ | Levi Welch, who came in trom | Osage township Friday morning, in | formed a Mail reporter of a hvely | row, whicn occurred ata dance given | George Reed, on Reed’s Creek in | Metz township, Wednesday night. | Among the guests at the ball were | Mart Porter and Joon Wilhams. the later being a comparative stranger, | having recently arrived Nortit Missouri.

He fell on the solid ice of the creek | below, a distance of 102 feet by ac- | tual measurement. When the driv- | | ers and others reached the foot of the ' bluff, they found the sleigh in kind- } lings, and the horse quietly munch: | ing some apples that had been in the sleigh. Eggs, coffee and sugar were | gathered profusely around. The | horse was uninjured save two little } Scratches, and was used on Sunday | night tor sleigh nding. The story | Was so marvelous that m any citizens ' visited the bluff before they would | believe it. This is the biggest fall | on record here. Last year a lunatic jumpcd off the bluff and was killed by the tall. A smooth complexion can be had by evry lady who will use Parker's Tonic.
