WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1888, —_— } FOR STATE SENATOR. : We are authorized to announ FIELDING E. BYB. of Cass county, aa a candida’ State Senator, from this, the Sixteenth District subject tothe Democratic nominating conven- tion. ————— for’ the office of Do not forget the Immigration meeting at the court house next Sat- urday. ———_———__ The state democratic campaign was opened by Congressman Glover, Governor Morehouse and Col. Clai- borne, all candidates for governor, at Higginsville last week. There was a large crowd present and great enthusiasm. A new departure inG. A. R. cir- cles has recently taken place in Phil- adelphia, where General Joseph E. Johnston, the highest in rank of liv- ing officers of the confederate army, was made a member of E. D. Edgar post No. 2. The old fight of Cleveland vs. Blaine; Retrenchment and Reform,an honest and economical administra- tion, with a reduction of the tariff taxes on the necessaries of life, against fraud and extravagance in office, high protective tariff on all necessaries, with free whiskey and tobacco. Make your choice. bn an The “Cleveland Button” is just out. It is about the size of a penny. The background is black, upon which isa gold-colored horse shoe in- closing the initials “G. C.” The le- gend “Public Office is a Public Trust” encircles the inner design, and at the bosiom of the piece ap- pear the numbers “84—88.” If Sherman should be nominated at Chicago, look out for a badge repre- senting an icicle “Hoist the Cold Wave Flag” inscribed around the top, and the single word “Zero” en- graved on the apex. A party has come toa deplora- ble pass when its leading journals in the state in their zeal for favorite candidates give entirely different re- ports of a county convention. The St. Louis Republican is championing the cause of Major D. R. Francis, for governor, and the Kansas City Times, devotes its space about equal- Jy in boosting the present governor, A. P. Morehouse and congressman John M. Glover. At the recent pri- maries held in Boone county last Saturday the Republican publishes, under glowing headlines, that Fran- cis carried the county, while the Times, as equally enthusiastic pub- lishes that Morehouse captured the delegation. These papers are pub- lished to enlighten and keep the peo- iple posted on the news of the day, jand not deceive and bewilder them in this manner. If this fight is con- inued it will be good opportunity ior a dark horse to capture the nomination. _ James G. Blaine has at last con- ted to allow his name to go be- the Chicago convention, and will accept the nomination if tender- ed him on a silverwaiter. It has al- ys been believed by many that }Blaine's letters of declination were imply masquerading, and that when he time came he would hasten to ave his party. So nobody has been eived, and this paper has pre- licted this from the date of the t letter. There is no doubt of is nomination, but what will the r dupes that have made fools of emselves, such as Sherman, In- s, Lincoln, Everett and the rest, their unscemly struggle for the pty honors of nomination, k of this move of the plumed ight’s. We do not imagine that /aey will feel over-friendly to Blaine mor thus making fools of them and gen coming in and walking off with honors. But we shall see what shall see. a NO PERSONAL UONTROVERSY. The Trues respectfully declines to ; take up the gauntlet so flippantly | thrown down by our neighbor of the Democrat. A personal controversy at this time, could not be of any profit to either of the participants, is of no interest to our readers, and might have a serious effect as a dis- the Republicans and re- publican papers are the only ones enjoying this kind of pleasantry. county. This is a presidential campaign district and county politics before us. The de ocratie party in Bates, like any party that has been successful for a long time, flushed with repeated victories and large majorities, has been over confident, and are apt to neglect the smaller details of organization thit is so important to continued success. Internal broils and discensions on the eve of a campaign are the very worst possible disurganizers, and it is defying the fates in a -way that the Bates county democracy can not afford to do. There might be room for a suspi cion, if this fight is persistently pushed that certain parties, watch- ing with tearful eyes the glamor of departing glory, would like to see the party go down in defeat, and be called on afterwards as the Moses to iead the children of Israel from the land of Egypt. We say that such a course, at such critical time, would be open to just such a con- struction, and parties attempting to play just such a role would have to answer at the bar of outraged party fealty. The Times in suggesting the elec- tion of {the new county committee, was actuated with the purest and highest motives to party good, be- lieving that it would be much better to have the new committee organ- ized and in fighting trim when the campaign opens in realearnest, than to have to “swap” horses crossing a stream. year, we have state, a The old committee is com- posed of the best men and demo- crats in the county and if they could, in conformity with democrat- l¢ usages, and customs, hold over for another campaign, we would be only too glad. The Tres was not slow in expressing its views on this sub- ject, and if they did not meet the approbation of the Democrat or any good democrat in the county. there was plenty of time and opportunity to speak out, and if we were in error, point out the right road, and we would most certainly have subordi- nated our views to the party good. This could have been accomplished without waiting until the last min- ute, and then attempting to raise discension and discord in the demo_ eratic ranks. Since there has been a question raised as to the legality of electing the committeemen until the county convention, we advise those town- ships, if there should be any, that elected committeemen on last Satur- day, for harmony’s sake, not to push their claims until at that time. The Tres will be found in this campaign, as it has in all others, shoulder, to shoulder with the other democratic papers of the county, such as the Review, Enterprise, Fos- ter News, Adrian Advertiser, and Rockville Star, fighting for the suc- cess and perpetuation of the demo- cratic party, and we siacerely trust that if a personal controversy has to be waged that our esteemed contem- porary over the way, will at least bottle up his spleen until after the campaign, when if he is still spoil- ing for a fight the Trves will try and accommodate him tothe fullest extent of our limited capacity. ——_—_—_— IMMIGRATION MASS MEETING. While we are “up to our ears” in politics, let us not forget the ma- terial interests of Bates county. A call has been made for a mass meet- ing at the court house next Satur- day in the interest of immigration. This meeting will be called to order ie county must be e whether the people of Bates county will doa directly after the democrat ne tc ng to sources of the county or infuse Ba organizer of the democratic party in | | new life and blood into her veins | with the capital that necessarily at- | tends immigration. The other coun- | ties in the Southwest are choosing |the former alternative, and the | Southwest Missouri Immigration So- | ciety is assuming proportions little | dreamed of by its most enthusiastic | originators. This appeal is not made to any | one individual or class, but is some- | thing that we are all interested in, |and while it is not expected or de- sired that you should give any iarge amount, you should give something if you feel too poor to give anything at least turn out and give the move- ment advice. This is not any one man’s business to cause him to neglect his own af- fairs to come and see you personally. We are all interested in this great work, and should turn out and as- sist as far as we are able. Do not let it be said that Bates county, which is among the foremost coun- ties of the state in natural resources, the fifth in wealth and population, so far neglects her opportunities as to be left out of the only organized effort ever made to advertise South- west Missouri. and help the good work along. your presence and JUDGE DEARMOND. Judge David A. DeArmond, can- didate for Supreme Judge, making a political campaign cure the endorsement of his party, and in this he shows another pecul- iar fitness for the honorable, respon- sible and trustworthy position of judg» of the Supreme court of our great state. No other office in the gift of the people is environed with such -acredness as to at once place is not to se- out ci and beyond political maneu- verin;; and unbecoming scheming the Judgeship of the Supreme Court, the highest tribunal in the state. A man, to fill this place prop erly, should be as far removed as possible from the wiles of men and turmoil of politics. The man who is the representative of great wealth and vigantic corporations, who is in the hands of practical schemers, should at once be relegated to a back seat in the race at the hands of the honest yeomanry of our state whose most vital interests are liable any day to be placed in the well balanced seales of blind justice, or in the scales already weighted down by prejudice, gold, favoritism or debts of gratitude. Judge DeArmond is in no sense a politician; his rulings as a judge of our circuit court have been emmi- nently satisfactory, and as commis- sioner acting in the capacity of Judge of the Supreme Court his de- cisions stand equal to those of the most eminent judges of our Supreme Court —Mining Review. Democratic Conventions. (Paste this up for reference ) The following are the democratic conventions called for the purposes designated, with dates and places of holding them and number of dele- gates Bates county is entitled to in each: The first convention is to be held at Sedalia, May 17th to elect thirty- two delegates to the national demo- cratic convention to be held in St. Louis June 5th. The basis of rep- resentation is one delegate for every 300 votes cast for Cleveland and one for every fraction over 150. This gives Bates {county 13 delegates, which will be selected next Saturday, May 12th, at the county convention. Each congressional district is enti- tled to two delegates with four dele- gates at large. Convention No. 2 will be held at Springfield August 15th, tonominate one judge of the supreme court, three judges of the court of appeals for the western district and one judge of court of appeals for the eastern district. The basis of rep- resentation is the same as for Sedalia convention. County convention July rd convention will be held n City August 22nd, for ation of state officers.

New York, April 39.—Edgar L. Hermane, late pastor of the Presby- terian church in White Plains, shot himself while in the pulpit of the church, at that place yesterday. Mr. Hermane’s resignation was asked for several months ago in con- sequence of the dissatisfaction aris- ing between himself and flock over his salary. He made repeated de- mands for an increase, all of which were ignored. He had been for 16 years pastor of one of the richest congregations in that section. It is reported that he was largely in- terested in the dry goods trade, and that about three years ago he lost something in the neighborhood of $75,000. He owned and resided in one of the most palatial residences. His wife was the daughter of ex President Woolsey of Yale college. Mr. Hermane and family stood very high in the social circles of White Plains, and his financial standing was unquestionable. Shortly before he shot himself Mr. Hermane was sitting within the chancel conversing with the sexton, John Blakely, and appeared perfect- ly rational. The sexton left him to get a pitcher of water. Hardly had he closed the church door when he was startled by the report of a pis- tol shot, and, rushing back into the church he found the pastor stretch ed prone upon the floor of the pul- pit. Atthe time of the shooting Mrs. Hermane was teaching a Sun- day school class in the new chapel within a few feet of her husband. Mr. Hermane died instantly. Dehorning Cattle in Ray County, Mo. While attending the recent Short- horn sale at Richmond, Mo., we met Mr. G. W. Falk who has been de- horning a large number of cattle. His first experience was on the 5th of February last, when he dehorned twenty-five head of two-year-old steers for D. W. Kill. Not one of the number, he says, missed a feed, and all are healed perfectly and one can hardly tell that they have ever had horns. On March 10th, he de- horned seventy-five head of all ages and classes, from calves four weeks old to cows ten yearsold. They did splendidly, and the cows that were giving milk did not fail any so far as could be seen. Since then he has dehorned 400 head for different par- ties, some being cows heavy in calf, one cow calving the third day after the operation. No bad effect could be seen. Mr. Falk said he had watch- ed closely and had inquired, and had not heard that a single animal had lost a feed or a pound of flesh owing to the operation. He thinks the pain caused is less than that due to castration, and as soon as the opera- tion is over the animal seems _per- fectly easy.—Rural World.
