How about the “home man?” Or maybe this is a rule that don’t work both ways. f Ex-Senator David Davis died at his home in Bloomimgton, Ill., on Saturday morning, of Brights disease ot the kidneys. His tuneral took place yesterday at 3 o’clock, Wade talks about ‘‘soreheads and bolters.’” He had better read up a little! Does he remember the Par- kinson—Scott judicial contest a few years ago? Who were then the “soreheads and bolters?”” Who lead the revolt to rule or ruin? Mr, Stone would do well to cage his henchman Wade.—Clinton Demo- crat. The burgler who made such a desperate attempt, Feb. 23d, last, to rob Baker’s jewelry store, on Main street, Kansas City, ot diamonds,and who shot two men in making his escape, has been captured at Denver. His name is Wilham Harding and he hails from Chicago, where he is well known to the police as a bad and dangerous man. mE The Republican need have no fears that any sensible man will think for a moment that there is eyen any affinity between the management of the two papers, Trwgs and Republi- iduress It never failed to support a home man, and that heartily and honestly, when he was making an honest campaign as never been changed. has j confidence in his péople to let them choose their own delegation to rep- resent them. But we have never yet connived with a clique of political shis‘ers and tricksters to defraud the us, we never will. We are now, as we ever have been, in tavor of the people of Bates county electing their own delegates to the congressional convention. This 1s a right which belongs to the people and no one man or set of men have a right to arrogate to themselves this power. He who tries it is a usurper and would gain by a trick and talse rep-| resentation that which he is afraid to entrust at the hands of his own peor ple. We are sull of the opinion, and that verified by proof positive, that the people of Bates county are tor Judge Gantt tor congress; N, A. ! Wade and W. J. Stone are of the same opinion, else Mr. Wade never would have gone to Nevada to con- | sult us to the propriety of bringing out Juds telegraphed back to his paper This had be done and Wade was but hving up to his pledge to deliver the county over to Stone.

The people are not fools and they have thoroughly disgusted at Wade’s at- tempt to work them as such that! they will learn him a lesson become so! which | will not be hard to read—a general } sitting down on these political trick- sters and boss ringsters who cheat them out of their honest conyictions. | The time has come for the people to act, and if representatives of their | choosing do not suit the politicians, | they will just have to grin and bear | it. Politicians’ have ruled Bates county politics long enough, barte ing the nghts of the voters to the highest bidder. Now the people are aroused, as showed by the result of the county convention, and they will exercise their nights in the con- | gressional convention | NO CAUSE FOR DISAFFEOTION. A slight buzz of lisaffection in | the democratic ranks has come to our ears. It 1s scarcely a mpple, caused by some thoughtless democrat cast- ing a pebble (a thoughtless word, perhaps a jest) into the wave. But even so slight a disaffection should not exist at the present time, when there is so little cause for such. It is admitted by the tair-minded op- Position that we have the strongest county ticket ever nominated in Bates county. Ot course some were dis- appoiated, necessarily so after a heated campaign, where: each can- didate is led to believe that he is to be successful. But we cannot all win the prize, and tbe less fortunate and their friends should not for a} moment harbor thoughts of resent- ment.

We wil! have more an get to say on this subject in the future. — A STRANGE STORY- One of Mr | few days since, when spoken to in | regard to Vernon county’s modesty, | stated that everything was arranged Stone’s henchmen, a now When the convention D. P. Stratton would waive his claim to the judgeship in tavor of Mr. Berry Thurman, of Barton county, and the comvention would declare that Vernon county had no candidate for state senator, In other words, Hon. S. A. Wight, who has served Vernon in the lower house and the state senate with signal ability, will be told his services are not needed—by Mr. Stone. Vernon with met Hon. county, her new asylum, will need clear-headed, vig- orous, competent legislators, but S. A. Wight, her most accomplished son,will be set aside because torsooth this candidacy will clash with Mr. Stone’s. | To those who have known the Hon. Dan Stratton for the past fitteen years, who have watched his : | course as a democratin the perilous o| who have seen him always im the fore- tront ot democratic days ot southwest Missouri, the line from Cedar, who have seen him endorsed again and again for congress by his and know him now as one of our state executive | committee, it seems humibating that {he should be required to step out of an honorable at the of Mr. Stone. Fitted by education and_ practice canvass nod for the judgeship, we had supposed thateven W. J. Stone would not | have the temerity to demand his re- tirement. Hon. Berry ‘Thurman is | lis peer in every way, and trom the two we expected to see a democrat clected in Judge Burton's place, but we sincerely hope it mav not prove a transparent dicker in Stone’s in- terest. The position 1s too honorable, the gentlemen both are too honorable. For the future ot both we trust that misin— formed. We are unwilling to believe such a story about two such gentle- men. the aforesaid henchman was ee ”F More of Wade's Two-Horse Act. The Butler Democrat, presided over by the great *‘two-horse’’ per- tormer, Col. Wade, has ceased to support Stone im his own county, (Bates) which he feigns is tor Park- inson, but in the other counties ot the district he is doing his level best for his benefactor. Stone in Bates is hke the milk sick candidate in Arkansas, ‘not running much here stranger, but over in Cass he is setting the prairies afire with enthusiasm. *’ This 1s the way it talks: ‘From parties who have had oc- casion to go over Cass, from personal observation and conversation with its representative men, trom the tone ot its papers, trom the vote received by him two years ago and the accessions secured since, there is not a doubt in the world but that Hon. W, T. Stone gress. Judge Parkinson, Rates county’s candidate, has made no canvass therein, but the democrats of blustering kind; the fellows who | hang on for spoils—and who would | yell for any man that will feed them.

Our choice: Parkinson first, Stone second, Gantt third. Every journal has a right to favor whom it pleases. —Hume Star. Of course, but can the Star give us any reasons why the majority of the Bates county papers are oppos- ing Parkinson? Out of the seven democratic papers in the county two are for Parkinson and five for Gantt. A screw is loose somewhere.—Ap- pleton City Standard. Yes, a pretty large size screw 1s loose in the ring’s machinery, and its apparent that the mongers looseness 1s so people refuse to endorse any such chicanery. However, the Star is mistaken in regard to the Globe, which is as ‘solid for Parkinson as the walls of Jerico."’ It will be re- walls fell at Draw membered that these the tooting of rams horns. your own inference. There was a lively shooting affray at Hickory Grove, in Rich township, Anderson county, last Sunday night. It seems that there was some dissat- isfaction on the part of Albert Mat- tison and regarding Sani] Patterson and a Miss Parsons at a dance a few nights before, and Patterson told them to meet him at church Sunday night and he would make it satistactory wita them Accordingly, atter church, Matti- sun and Spangle brothers met Patter one Spangle, son and Miss Parsons a little ways trom the church, and Patterson be- gan to explain the matter when Mat- d d= har and made for nim, when Patterson tison called him a g drew a reyolver and shot him through, within two inches ot the heart.

Have ing ‘‘downed’’ the crowd, Patterson gave the lines to his girl, told her to drive home, and then skipped out and has not been heard of since. It is supposed that Mattison will die, but the other men will not.—X In Pieas- anton Herald. Difference of Opinion. The democrats of Jasper brought Judge Parki~son out as a candidate for congress. Had he not become a candidate, Stone would have carried Bates by a large majority.—Bates County Democrat. The Democrat is just a little oft. The democrats of Jasper county have held no convention and have expressed no preference.—Jasper Co. Democrat. Let's see.
