Ic view ot the coming political campaign, and the fact that every Voter, irrespective of party, in Bates county, 1s interested therein, the Tus will be sent to any address in Bates county trom now until the rst. of December, 3886, tor the very low price of SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS strictly inadvance. Any subsenber may take advantage of this excep- tienal low offer ov paying up all J. D. Atten & Co., Proprietors, Times, published every Wednesday, wil] be sent to any cduress A. Neptune, of Spey peer , for the of pode sega of the county court for of good men on the ticket. worst political ring that can possibly exist is where members ot one party form an alliance with ringleaders ot the opposition. Price of liberty, and we warn all good democrats to keep an eye on NOT ON THAT GROUND. The name ot Judge }. B. Gantt has been officially announced as a candidate for congress from this district, and, to say the least, he has flattering chances for success. Judze Gantt is well and tavorably known as the present judge of the circuit court, and is most popular among those who know him best. He is an honest, true and conscientious gen - tleman, eminently fitted for the high position he seeks The Monitor wishes him success in the coming election. He 1s a Henry county man and, as such, should receive the hearty support of the county,—Mont- rose Monitor. We heartily agree with the Moni- tor that Judge Gantt ‘‘is an honest, true and conscientious gentleman, eminently fitted for the high position he seeks’” and that he should receive the hearty support of that county,but not for the reason alone ot being a county man, for we are satisfied that Judge Gantt would scorn to receive the support of his friends and neighbors on such a flimsy pre- text. A man 1s deserving of his county’s support when he is an honor to that county, aman of ability and integrity, of whom his people are justly proud and in whom they wish to see their political standing veri- fied; but to support an unpopular man tor office, who has no earthly show of success, simply because he 1s a home man, and thereby cripple the county’s influence, 1s, it seems to us, to say the very least, the heighth of folly. WILL BEAR WATCHING. The Record predicted some months ago that certain democratic gentlemen of our city could not be elected to any ofhce—even dog pel ter. Now, sever:] of these same gentlemen are asking the support of their party for various offices. We notice that one of these obstruction- ists wants to be county treasurer, another would lke to be county clerk, another, who also aspires to the same Position, and we wish to reiterate, that no man who had a hand in de- trauding the north ward of its repre- Seatation, will ever hold an office of trust in Bates county. Even the de- mocracy don’t want that kind of men—Record. The democratic party ot Bates county does not need any vratuitous advice trom the Record on the sub- ject of choosing its nominees. expected that that paper would lke to see the democrats nominate weak men and therefore when it fights men betore the convention it but shows the strength of those candidates. It és said. however, that the Record is but a mouth-piece for certain demo- cratic manipulators who get Aus. to do their dirty work. MH this be the case the democratic party will watch with a jealous eye and remember those men who thus connive with Tt is republicans to accomplish the defeat The Vigilance is the this move of a republican sheet, which is so solicitous tor the purity ot the democratic ticket. OUR POSITION. We are frequently asked by can- didates what policy we expect to pursue in the coming campaign, and we invanably return one answer: that we are conducting a democratic paper in the interest of the party and not in the interest of any one candi- date or set ot candidates. We shall treat every candidate fairly and im- partially, giving them all an equal chance. If, alter a complimentary notice calling attention to the an- nouncement, any other credentials or communication tayoring a candi- date is desired to be published we will charge for the same at the rate of five cents per line. The Tives has no pets, but all who have an- nouaced are good men and we will give any of them our unqualified endorsement and hearty support who happen to receive the nomina- tion on the democratic ticket. [EEE The Record and Democrat seem to be very much exercised for fear the railroad committee will not do its duty. Their over zealousness may lead some to think the good ot the town and county is not the mo- tive that prompts so much anxety.

Yes, this 1s justthe kind of fight Mr. Stone’s organs all over the dis- trict are making. Any paper that dares to speak a good word tor any other candidates, no matter how honest or conscientious its editor may be in the matter, one of these little fellows. who belongs to the doughty Congressman by virtue of federal patronage received or prom- ised, raise up and, judging mankind by the narrow boundaries of their own little cess pool, points a finger of suspicion and cries, he didn’t get a post office. Knowing the editor ot the Globe as we do, we think he was at least honest in his expression of a choice between candidates and his motives should not be thus ques- tioned. Judge Johr H. Sullens, known to all our people as one of the solid men of Bates county, presents his claims for presiding justice of the county court. elected to this office when the county was groaning under a heavy debt,sad- dled. on the people by a republican court, and in less than three years had every dollar of indebtedness paid and money in the treasury. Judge Sul- lens was reelected for a second term, but resigned after serving one year to accept the office ot represen- tative tendered him by a grateful people. If the democratic party see fit to endorse Judge Sullens it will never have cause to regret the step. Judge E. A. Henry presents his claims to the democracy of old Bates for treasurer. Judge Henry is well and favorably known to the people of this county, having served them two terms as county judge and one term as ccierk of the county court, and we can truthfully say, without tear of contradiction, that no man in the county is more familiar with the finance and records than Judge Henry. He 1s competent, qualified and thoroughly honest, and should he receive the endorsement of his party in convention will be elected, and the people can feel safe to en- trust their finance in his keeping. Professor J. H. Hinton announces as a candidate for representative of Bates county. Prot. Hinton has served the people two terms as county school commissioner _ satis- factory to the entire people and with honor and credit to himself. He was elected the second term by the largest majority ever received by any candidate in Bates county. He has been principal of the Rich Hill schools for a number of years. Isa courteous, clever gentleman, well qualified for the position to which he aspires and if endorsed by his party would be elected by a rousing ma- jority and be an honor and credit to Bates county in the legislative halls. ship, and one of the staunchest farm- ers of this county, offers himself as a candidate for the office ot- sheritt. We have no hesitancy in recommend- ing Mr. Hale to the democrats of tnis county as a clever, sociable gen- tleman, and a man in every way qualified to fill the office. He is an old resident of this county and has a large circle of warm friends who will be only too glad to honor him with their yotes should he receive the nomination. We see from our exchanges that Judge John H. Strother,of Marshall, Mo., is thinking seriously ot entering the race tor congress in his district. Mr. Strother is a very popular man and has made the circuit in which he resides a most excelient and satis- factory judge, and should he consent to make the race, John Hurd, to secure a second nomination, will have to ship garden seeds by the barrel. Ex- Judge John D. Parkinson pass- ed through Lamar Tuesday. en route to his old home at Greenfield.

Indeed, the very is- sue from which we take the above, is the most remarkable sheet that the eye of man ever beheld. Wedo not exaggerate when we say, that in ad- dition to other political matter, the last issue of the Bates County Dem- ocrat contains nearly one thousand lines on the congressional campaign jin the twelfth district, and yet it speaks ot the ‘campaign being op- ened too early,’’ and that ‘Mr, Stone should have an opportunity to be heard in the canvass, &c., &c.”” in such a manner as to indicate that it is merely skirmishing, and the gen- eral engagement will come later. If it can devote nearly one thousand lines to the boosting of two candi- dates when the fight 1s hardly on, ‘what will the harvest be’ when the candidates are al} announced and in the field? It is very remarkable that so much space should be thus devot- ed at this early day; but the most peculiar part of the matter is the unequal division between the two favorites—Col. Wm. J. Stone and Judge J. D. Parkinson; and in as much as fudge Parkinson is a ‘home candidate’’ we must say that our dear Brother Wade does not niake an equitable division. For instance: We find ie gives to Judge Parkinson Jifteen lines and gives to Stone and Parkiason one hundred and seventy- two lines, and gives to Col. Stone seven hundred and cighiy-five lines. Now, we do not wish to be untair, and therefore feel that we should say, by way of explanation, that we have honestly and faithfully tried to show this matter just as it 1s; that 1s, when an article was plainly intended for one of the parties, we so classified it, and this, too, without regard to the caption, for, of course, head- lines are often misleading. For, in- stance: in classifying the very able article on the second page, under the flaming headlines, “‘Judge Parkin- son’’ we were compelled to take it away trom the worthy Judge and place it to the joint account ot Stone and Parkinson. Indeed the article 1s a kind of a double-barrelled con- cern—really no more in the interest of one of them than the other. We were obliged to suppose the writer intended it tor jointaccount. There is, however, no error in the state- ment that seven hundred and eighty- five lines were in eulogy of the Hon. W. J. Stone. One of the ar- ticles, *‘Sylph’s Sedalia Democrat’s correspondence,”’ contains alone two hundred and torty-six lines, while another, the production ot Col. Mulberry Sellers, contains two hundred and eighty-six lines. It may be contended that the latter contains other matter and should not be counted in its entirety for the “Cyclone Orator of the Booming Democratic Southwest,’’ yet a care- jul reading shows conclusively that its distinguished author intended it solely for the benefit of his chiet, and that it was inspected by the aforesaid chief and approved by him e’re it lett the “bureau’’ in Washington city. ii Geronimo will not surrender. The Government is in duty bound tocapture and kill him and every member of his murderous gang. This ought be done ifto accomplish it requires an army of 100,000 men. Scores ot honest citizens, detenceless women and little children have been murdered by these murderous wretch es. That a nation of fifty millions of people should sufter their atrocities for years 1s a crying disgrace to the authorities. Geronimo and his tol- lowers ought to be captured at any cost and excuted.—St. Joe The following gentlemen who have placed their names in our an- nouncement column will be given a complimentary notice next week: Sam Beall, Judge A.
