BOSWELL, Conventions have been called in nearly every congressional distnct inthe state except the 12th. The people lave become satisfied there 18 a trick in thus deta ying calling the committee together. A majority of the committee can make the call and it should be done. As the question of corporations has been raised, we would like to ask who are Stone’s supporters in Bates county to-day and what are their records in this respect Wade, Pace & Co. have promised to deliver over this county, bound and gagged, to Stone, and our people know their record only too well in the Walnut corporation and railroad swindle. —_—_—_——_., Should Hon. S. A. Wight, ot Nevada, receive the nomination for state senator, we would support him cheertully. In our opimon, and we think the records prove it, southwest Missvuri never bad a more able man, and an influential worker, than Hon. S.A. Wight. It would be better if Vernon county sould drop the judge ship and ratlroad commissioner bus- iness. Dan, perhaps, can knock Cedar county persimmons, but he can’t cut “erin Vernon. And Cresap has outlived his usefulness. —Sheidon Enterprise It appears then that the Stone henchman, who spoke through the columns of last week’s Times, was telling the truth when he said that all these other worthy gentlemen, Stratton, Wight and Cresap, had to be sacrificed for the good of Stone. Wonder if they will be as lambs led to the slaughter? And now it shows up that the Bates County Democrat’s candidate | matter how disreputable, to accom- | | and see what foundation there 1s for j such a charge, and draw a slight "ANYTHING TO BEAT GANTT. The above seems to be the battle | cry ot the Democrat, and in contorm- | = ity with its past political record it} does not scruple at any means, no | plish theend. The latest accusation of the wiley Wade 1s to raise the hue | and cry against Gantt of being a} corporationist. Now let us examine Judge Gantt} comparison between Stone in this} and the Hon. W. J. respect, and let the sensible reader judge for himselt who is the triend of the corporation and against the people. Judge Gantt came to Clinton from Georgia at the close of the war, a poor young man, just out of the con- federate army. His ability and hon- esty was soon recognized, which placed him at the head of his profes- sion, and he soon acquired the repu- tation of being a deep thinker, a and a_ forcible logical reasoner forensic speaker. Isthere any wonder Strong Words from Charlotte.

Butit such a condition ex— ists (and I deny that it does) is it not quite as honorable to dislike a man and be against him, as to dis- like him, as the editor of the Demo- and for a paltry office I } j moves such a crat did, become a blatent Stone man?’ ! subnut the matter to you,democtatic farmers of Bates, if it is consistent or honorable in the editor ot the Democrat to take up arms in defense ot aman whom he has denounced times without number.

I haying business in that locality should } would that editors would assert their pick on just such a man to look after manhood, and not be cowering, their interests? And such was the case. The M. K. company, recognizing his ability, often employed him to look after their interests in that locality; but he never was the regularly appointed attorney for that system or any other Judge Gantt was but doing a legitimate business system of railroads. in accepting as a client a corporation. Does anv one presume to say that either Stone Parkinson would have refused to haye that or acted in capacity Gantt has filled the high and exalted For the past six years position of judge of the circuit court, and has left a record that is untarnish- ed with any prejudice, but in which only cold and calculating justice, tempered with blessed mercy, can It stands as a living monumentto refute be found on its spotless pages. all the lies and slanders of schemers and tricksters, who dare not go there the flippantly for procf of that which is so charged. Point out the tl Cases that have been reversed by the supreme court in which Judge Gantt decided against the people, or where, if that law he was sworn to adininis ter impartially ever gave him lison he tailed to render his decision in tavor of the people and ayainst cor- t 5 porations. Judge Gantt is a poor man to-day and never owned or held a dollar’s worth of stock in corporation, and all this talk of Wade’s about him being a too! of Gould is an insult to the intelligence of the democratic voters ot Bates county. Now how about the Hon, W. J. Stone as a corporationist? He has been tor years a stockholder and a director in the Thornton Banking Company at Nevada, the wealthiest corporation in Vernon county. He is one of the largest stockholders in and attorney for the Stuze-Wall cattle syndicate, one of the largest corporations in ‘the west, and which received its name from the dougity congressman. ‘ any It is said thai he largely interested in mines in New Mexico, but as this 1s only rumor we do not give it as facts, and we } have no doubt he has acted in the capacity ot attorney for railroads as much as Judge Gantt ever did. Now you have the comparison—one a poor man without a dollar in cor- Porations, the other a bloated bond- holder, who gloats over the fact that he has made his vast wealth out of these corporations and off of the | people, and at the same time shows his hypocrisy and deceit by wniting long-winded speeches at W ashing- is & T. railroad | petty office. servile tools for the sake of a Ittle R. The Congressional Race. There has been much written con- cerning the congressional race in this district, butit has mostly been said by the Bates County Democrat, which 1s for Parkinson for Bates county’s can- didate and for Col. Stone everywhere The Democrat would make believe the race was but else. every reader between Parkinson and Stone, does not seem to have the faculty to show up facts suffitient to convince anyone.

That is the last time Small was seen alive, An examination of the body and the ground near by showed that the man had been killed and then dragged by the feet across the road and roo feet into the brush of woods, opposite from where the murder was commit- ted. Small was respectably con- nected and recently married. The officers are in pursuit of the man supposed to have committed the deed. The body ot the murdered man was brought into the city about 7 o'clock this evening, and an inquest will be held to-morrow. It may not be that a law was passed by the general assembly of 15So0-S1, and took effect March 1g, 1881, requiring that every generally known person having a hedge fence over five years old, upon the line of any public road or highway in this state, is required to cut down to the height of not more than five feet nor less than four feet, every two years; provided, that hedge fences enclos- ing stock yards, shall be exempt trom the pro- The oyerseer » serve the and orchards, house yards, visions of this act. of roads is te notice the owner has thirty days fail to overseer shall have it done, and the to com- mence, and if he do it the owner must pay all expenses ot the It can be collected of him the same. by law same as revenue tor road purposes, edging at the same time a doubt.

Some say he is trimming his sails for congress two years hence. Others say he is wanting a judicial appoimtment as United States Circuit Judge and desires to develop strength enough to dictate the nomi- nation and secure pledges for future | benefits. From Vernon, from Barton, trom Jasper and from Henry, there | seems to be a unanimity of opinion among the best informed politicians, and that 1s that as between Stone and Gantt, that the one who finally captures the vote of Bates county will be the next congressman of the i2th district. There are a tew democrats who claim they know the A Desperado Runs a Kansas Town. Garden City, Kan., July 13.—At Coolidge between 1 and 2 o'clock yesterday morning, Dan Jones, city marshal, went into Shade Denson’s saloon and arrested a tough named John Luke for making a noise.

How badly Wade is mixedup. Wade is tor Stone, every- where but in his own county, but, of course, for a Butler man at home. The Jasper Co. Democrat says: “The Joplin Herald first mentioned Judge Parkinson, not because he was the preference of the people, but because the editor of the Herald tailed to get a post office.’ Thus Wade is fighting to make a point “forthe Herald man on the same grounds he condemns Jake Allen, and so it is that ‘politics make strange bed-tellows.”’—Review.
