For Vice-President, ALLEN G. THURMAN. UAMPAIGN OFFER. In order to have the Tres read by as many people in the county as possible during the campaign, we have concluded to offer it from now until after the election for 40 cents cash—less than one-half of the regu- lar price. All old subscribers can take advantage of this offer by pay- ing up back dues. —_—_—o— Come home Mr. Blaine, goose is cooked. your The rebel generals Mahone and Wise came pretty near capturing the Chicago convention. nominating speeches at Chicago were entirely too long. We think so, too. The news of the nomination of Harrison at Chicago Monday was tamely received in this city by the republicans. Ben Harrison, of Indiana, knocked the plum at Chicago, and will shoul- der the high tariff platform, free whiskey plank and all. The Tres should beread by every family in Bates county; the very low prige of 40 cents cash makes this possible. The free whisky plank in the re- publican platform suits the republi- cans of Kansas, while the Chicago Tribune says it is a great blunder. ———_—_—_ The Chicago Tribune is already calling for a revision of the Chicago platform. The Tribune cannot stom- ach free whiskey and taxed blankets. Patrick Ford, of the Irish World, has declared that without Blaine as the champion and standard bearer of the republican party, the World will wield a free lance during the presidential canvass. ————— Rumor says that Secretary Whit- ney intends to retire from the cabi- net. If true, this is to be regretted. He is a first-class business man and his services have been specially valuable in an administration which is conducted on a business basis. ee “The New York Mail and Express which is republican in politics, de- clares that, with any other candidate than Depew, Cleveland’s majority in New York and King’s county will be likely to reach as high as 70.000. and that could not be overcome in the rest of the state. ———_ “Revolutions never go backward” is aw old but trite saying, hence the republican party must die and bide its time to be resurrected, with the chances that the reviberations of old Gabriel's trumpet will not reach far enough downward to awaken it. it is fitting and right that the infi- del Ingersoll should officiate at the obsequies at Chicago. While he future punishment, he also opposes resurrection and a reward. halfis to them a prophecy a lief.—Ex. | town four ye promises to save the party from aj} was not so s His be- | a re-| \ | every HARRISON, MORTON AND FREE WHISKY. After a week the labors of the moun- tain has brought forth a mouse- General Ben. H. Harrison, of Indi- ana, was nominated on Monday morning and Levi P. Morton, of New York, seeured the second place. It was a bitter fight and the sores left will not heal very soon. The Blaine forces had confidently expect- ed to wear out the convention and make it seem impossible to nominate any other man, and no doubt would have succeeded, having strenght enough to adjourn the convention at will, but for the outspoken opposi- tion on Sunday declaring that they would not ratify the nomination by making it unanimous. The conven- tion, under the circumstances did the very best thing it could have done—for the democrats. They have placed a low tariff man on a very ele- vated tariff platform and we may ex- pect to see some very pretty strad- dling and changing of ideas. The Chicago convention has but carried out the policy of the party as prac- ticed in the past—toadied to an ele- ment or faction. It was conceived a masterly stroke of stratagem to make the old soldier the bitter antagonist of the democratic administration and then to properly use this force they must pander to it, by putting an old soldier at the head of the tick- et. The election of such a ticket might be a satisfaction to the soldier element, but it would mean a pen- sion grab that would drain the gov- ernment treasury dry at one fell swoop. They accomplished their purpose and have the soldier, but where is the statesman. How will our republican friends harmonize the vast difference in the platform as adopted at Chicago and that of 1584 on the tariff question. Then it was thought a revision and lowering of the tariff necessary, now the tariff must not be disturbed from its present exhorbitant high war rates, but they are willing that the internal revenue be revised. That means a very high tax on all neces- saries of life, and free whisky and to- bacco. How does that suit the far- mer, the laborer, the mechanic, in fact the American idea of the fitness of things. We shall see shall see. COMMITTEE MEETING. Pursuant to call the democratic county committee met at the probate office Saturday. In the absence of R. S. Bennett, chairman, J. M. Coleman was called to preside. On motion Saturday the 14th day of July was chosen as the time for holding the county convention to send delegates to the senatorial con- vention to be held in Harrisonville, Ju- ly 21st, and to send delegates to the congressional convention to be held in Carthage, July 25th. The town- ship conventions will be held on Saturday, July 7th. The basis of representation was fived at 1 dele- gate for every 25 voters or fraction over 15 cast for Grover Cleveland. The members present were: Mingo Wiley Yates, Grand River D. C. Edwards, proxy, East Boone William Erwin, what we Mound A. A. Conard, Spruce J. M.

We would like to hear from some of our successful farmers on the question and the} Trves columns are open to the dis- cussion. The opinion is expressed by ex- Senator McDonald that the nomina- tion of Judge Thurman for vice president has greatly helped the party in Indiana, and he is sure that the electoral votes of that state will be cast for the democratic nominees. “Indiana,” says Mr. McDonald, “is a peculiar state. In ordinary elections she is close and uncertain, but when the dividing line is drawn on a ques- tion of democratic principles there are some seven, eight or nine thou- sand voters who appear at the polls with democratic ballots and who inevitably and invariably decide the issue. To these voters the nomi- nation of Thurman appeals with ir- resistible force, for his nomination meas ali that democracy and demo cratic principles mean. The triumph of the democratic notional ticket in Illinois is morally certain.“ —Ex. The following from an exchange is as true as Holy Writ: It isa de- plorable fact, but none the less true, that » young man rarely succeeds at home. He may be bright and active and work hard, yet the mere fact that he has been known from infancy by the people with whom he associ- ates, keeps him back longer than he deserves, while strangers, possessed of no more ability and discrimination» and certainly not as well informed concerning local affairs and people, are placed in responsible positions and honored, simply because they made their appearance in the com- munity as men. Heir to Two Million Dollars. Nevada, Mo., June 19.—Wesley O'Day, a 20-year-old farm hand in this county, has just fallen heir to nearly $2,000,000. He left here last night for Albany, N. Y., to join his uncle,a brother and sister there, who, together with him fall heir to $8,000,000. O'Day has been here in extreme poverty for the past eight years, having run away from home when 12 years of age. He received authentic information before leaving that apportionment had been made and his share amounts to $1,666,000. On Their Gnard Against Burchards. Mr. Clarkson called attention to the matter of selecting a chaplain. Several members of the committee at once interjected that a different chaplain every morning was desira- ble. One committeeman mischiev- ously moved that no chaplain be selected by the name of Burchar.'. Another gentleman moved that the chaplain’s prayer every morning be submitted in manuscript, before de- livery, to the chairman of the con- vention. Chairman Jones thought the officers of the convention would have enough to do to attend to their own prayers. The matter of prayers and chaplains was then promptly relegated to the subcommittee on arrangements.—Chicago Mail. The Farmers Are For Cleveland. There was a little commotion in the Illinois headquarters yesterday. An undersized, farmer-looking old man came in about 4 o'clock, and was cordially welcomed by those who were sitting around. He was introduced as Abner Groves of Ken- dall county. | knock ‘em out this time, I guess.” “I don't know about that,” said the old man. dubiously; “I don't know about that.

There is every prospect that the | political campaign of the present year will be the most salutary through | which the country has passed since the great civil war. It will be a cam- paign of education for the people on one of the most important subjects that affects their well being and that of the republic as one of the Nations of the earth. Never before, at least not within the recollection of the present generation of voters, has the question of a sound tariff policy been brought to a direct issue before the people, and consequent- ly the country has never had the education upon the principles and working of such a policy that can only come from a popular agita- tion, arousing the attention and ex- citing the keen interest of the great mass of the people. Such a process of education is greatly needed, and it is a most fortunate circumstance that through the foresight and cour- age of President Cleveland in launch- ing the subject before the country for debate and decision we are like- ly to have it.—N. Y. Times. The best resources of southwest Missouri have scarcely been touched yet. Millions of people can find happy homes and employment here. There are millions of acres of the most productive soil on earth over which no plow has passed. There are farms of thousands of acres whose productive capacity has never been tested. When these farms are cut up into 80 or 40 acre lots and labor put upon them such as is given in the east, the production will aston- ish the world. There is little ad- vancement for capital or labor in the older states; the avenues for profita- ble investment of either are filled. The young life and energy must come west, and no place this side of the Mississippi river is moreinviting than Missouri, and no part of Mis- souri offers advantages superior to the southwest. Better and cheaper land can be found nowhere on the globe.—Ex. Will be In the Field. St. Louis, Mo., June 17.—To the editor of the Republic: I notice in to-day’s Republic under the heading of “Missouri Politics,” a statement to the effect that I had announced myself as a candidate fer the posi- tion of official reporter of the lower house of the general assembly to be held next winter at the state capital. This is a mistake. Iam not now a candidate for any position. How- ever, at the solicitation of a number of my personal.and political friends in the state, at the proper time,I will be acandidate for the position of chief clerk of the house of represenatives —not official reporter. Hoping you will make room for this correction, I remain, very re- spectfully yours. Epwarp S. Vance. The fact can no longer be conceal- ed that there is now and has been all along a stormy undercurrent of opin- ion throughout the state in favor of Judge Norton for governor.
