We are authorized to announce FIELDING E. BYBEE, ef Cass county, as s candidate for the office of Btate Senator, from this, the Sixteenth District subject tothe Democratic nominating conven- tion. Call for Congressional Convention. In obedience to the action and or- der of the democratic executive com- mittee of the twelfth eongressional district in the state of Missouri, a delegate convention representing the democratic voters of said district, is hereby called to assemble at the Opera House in thecity of Carthage, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, on Wednesday July 25th, 1888, for the purpose of nominating a eandidate for congress, selecting a district ex- ecutive committee and transacting such other business as may properly be submitted for consideration and action. The ratio of representation is fix- ed at one yote for every three hun- dred votes cast for Grover Cleveland at the last presidential eleetion. This apportionment will give to Bates County, 13 delegates, Barton “ 6 & Cass se 10 «se Cedar <“ 5 ts Dade 4 G Henry “ 11 os Jasper * ll “ St. Clair + 6 « Vernon “ 13 & By order E. M. VANCE, Chairman, J. D. ALLEN, Secretary. Out of eleven counties so far that havo selected delegates to the Spring- field convention, six have instructed for D, A. DeArmond for supreme judge, as follows: Miller, Cass, Mor- gan, Moniteau and Benton. Of the rest only Linn county has given in- structions. Boone is for DeArmond without instructions, and he has one vote in Howard on first ballot. Hur- rah for DeArmond A dispatch from Butler to the Kansas City Times stated that the delegation selected last Saturday to go to the Sedalia convention would support J. C. Clark, of Bates coun ty, for district delegate to the nation- al convention. Mr. Clark is a repre- sentative democrat and would reflect credit upon Bates county and the 12th congressional district in this position, but he is not a seeker after such honors and authorizes us to say that he is not and will not bea candidate for such position under any circumstances. Mr. Clark fur- ther stated that he believed the Bates county delegation will support Hon. R. T. Railey, of Harrisonville, for one of the district delegates. The Michigan democratic state convention adopted for its motte, the devout utterance of its chairman “God bless Grover Cleveland.” It would seem that God had been pret- ty free with his blessings in the case of Mr. Cleveland. He oceupies the highest position in the nation, has a! nice wife, a little something laid by fora rainy day, a clear conscience and the nomination for the next presidency hanging over him and awaiting a good opportunity to alight.—Sedalia Bazoo. —— ee St. Louis Globe Democrat: The story that Mr. Blaine has assented to the use of his name as a presiden- | tial candidate, notwithstanding his letter of declination, is one that the country may expect to hear repeated many times in the coming six weeks. Therefis no reason to believe, how- ever, that Mr. Blaine has done or will do such a foolish, unjustifiable thing. He voluntarily retired from the race, for reasons which he deem- ed sufficient and id he could not now hope to be elected under any circumstances. even if the nomination should be unanimously.

He offered him the position of eivil service commis- sioner, to which he afterwards ap- pointed S. H. Oberly of Illinois. He offered him the position of inter- state commissioner, to which he af- terwards appointed Col. W. R. Mor- rison, of Illinois. He tendered him the position of solicitor general of the United States, to which he af- terwards appointed G. A. Jenks, of Pennsylvania. He also offered him a position of the commission that in- vestigated the Pacific railroads. All these positions he declined. It would be hard to find a man whom office has hunted more industrious- ly than Judge Fuller. Trustee's Sale. Whereas, Sallie A. Payton and W.C.
