HUNTING FOR A CANDIDATE. A Circular Written by a Waggish Re- publican Finds Many Amused and Interested Readers. If old Diogenes would only ht be of some service to the republicans of Missouri in their search for a date for governor. It is two weeks now until they assemble in convention at Sedalia to nominate state officers, and not a single man will come back with his lantern he mi candi- not quite has yet shown his head who is ing to carry the banner for that par- ty this year. But as Diogenes can't come back very conveniently they will have to get along without his valuable services. But the republi cans are firm believers in advertising, and they have resorted to that meth- od for securing a gubernatorial can- didate. Below will be found a copy of a circular recently which accidentally fell into the hands of a Republican reporter. It indicates that the party managers are in dis- tress: Wanted—Bad, by the republicans of Missouri, a candidate for govern- or; one who has a “barrel” at his disposal and who isn’t afraid to pull out the bung when occasion requires ssued, it. He must be a man who will not become despondent at defeat, but who, on the morning following the election, when he discovers that he has been buried by a majority of 60,000, will push away the debris caused by the political storm, and Phoenix like, for another campaign and shout: “I cut down the democratic majority!” It requires a man with altiloquent tongue, who can make the honest yeoman believe unless the present tariff robbery is continued he will soon have to pur- chase chromos in order that he may give his grain away. He must also be aman possessed of the cunning to dodge the prohibition question and who will not be acceptable to democrats and other voters. Those republicans who have writ- ten letters declining to accept the nomination if tendered, need not consider that they are barred from this contest, as it is the intention to consider all persons who possess the before mentioned qualifications. Greeabackers with good plethoric purses may also bid on the job. Sealed proposals for this oftie will be received at the courthouse in Se daiia, Mo., until 12 o'clock noon, May 10, 1888. It is understood that the republican boss reserves the right to reject any and all bids. By order of Tue Rive. Renews Her Youth. Mrs. Pheoe Chesley, Patterson, Clay county,lowa, tells the follow- rise up ing remarkable story, the truth ot which is vouched for by the res1- dents of the town.

The vacancy created by the death of Chief Justice Waite has been fill- ed, so far as the appointment goes by the naming of our fellow-towns- man, M. W. Fuller, for the position. President Cleveland could not have made a better selection. My. Fuller is a great lawyer and a man of irre- proachable record in every respect. He is not worn out and fossilized, neither is he inexperienced. For 30 years he has been devoted to the practice of law in this city. His training has admirably fitted him to occupy the position to which he has been elevated. fail to confirm The senate can not him.—Inter-Ocean. What Am I to Do?

But another let- ter from Mr. Conkling has been found in which he denies that he ever wrote the laudatory letter in Judge Gresham's favor. Sheridan, and not Gresham, was Conkling’s choice for a presidential candidate. It has been the boast of the advo- cates of Gresham that he had no “fool friends.” This, too, seems to be a mistake. $25.00 Reward.
