The grinning skeleton of the old Political ring is attempting to gain possession of Bates county with a view of turning it intoa red clover farm to please the man who thinks it is only fit for that purpose. _—_— A Remnent of the old ring which was thought crushed out and re- pudiated by the democratic party seeks to gain its old time power by delivering the delegation to the state convention to A. P Morehouse. Ben Harrison, the republican can- didate for president, voted fourteen times for Chinese immigration to this country. Now will the workingmen of this country vote for him for pres- ident? We shall see. Bets in favor of Mr. Cleveland are registered in New York at $2,000 to $1,000 and even at $2,500 to $1,200. Republican contidence is in the ratio of 1 to 2. From all accounts it would appear likely that Gen. Har- rison will get more kisses and smiles in Indiana than votes. __ Hon. Francis Rodman, secretary of state under the Drake regime in this state, died in Chicago a few days ago. He used to be called Count Rodman, because of the happy facul- ty he had of counting out democrats who were elected to office, when they didn’t suit him. The old political ring, that hydra headed monster, that for a number of years ruled the politics of Bates county with an iron hand and with- out merey crushing out all opposed to its nefarious schemes, has again come to the front and promised Bates county, gagged and bound to Gov. Morehouse, it remains with the honest yeomanry to see if they can deliver the goods. Have you observed the fact, if not take notice, that erery Demo- ‘cratic paper in the Senatorial dis- trict, favorable to Senator Vest, is plain spoken for D. R. Francis for Governor. And who doubts that every county in the district is large- ly for Vest; no one will doubt it who reads. Then putting these facts to- gether it takes but little figuring to conclude that Francis, as well as Vest, is overwhelmingly the choice of the people.—Howard Co. Adver- tiser. FAIR PLAY. The Tras believes in fairness and decency in politics as in everything else, and the bitter personal warfare | being waged upon D. R, Francis, prominent candidate for governor, by his opponents, and such metropolitan papers as the Kansas City Times and Post-Dispatch, is unwarranted by the facts in the ease, is overstepping the bounds of decency even, and is doing the democratic party of Missouri an irreparable injury. The evidence, so far as it has developed in this cam-| paign, goes to show that there is a combination between the other can didates to defeat Mayor Francis at allhazards. Nonamesare too severe to call him, no charges too serious to prefer against him to accomplish this end. been Governor Morehouse has promised this county along with | others, and the means resorted to by the combine is vividly portrayed in the following special dispatches from | Butler and Rich Hill to the Kansas | City Times: Butler, Mo., July 4.—Mayor D. R. Francis, of St. Louis, was in the city a few hours to-day hobnobbing with the professional politicians of the city, but showing little disposition to meet and shake the hand of the hon- est yeomanry. Healso spoke for half an hour, claiming Bates county as the apple of the eye of St. Louis, and eschewing politics, except to warn the peopleagainst monopolies, trusts and anarchy. Rich Hill, Mo., July 5.—Mayor Francis, of St. Louis, remained here last night, and this morning was out taking in the city and shaking hands with the sons of the mine and the soil and holding close communion with bankers and option dealers. He will find, however, that Morehouse has found a lodgement in the hearts | of the common people that will blossom into a fall delegation. Fran- cis left his campaign commissary equally divided between the two banks here, which had hitherto al- | ways crossed swords in every politi- | cal contest, while City Attorney | Dooley, formerly, a St. Louis ward | politician, will handle the saloon element here as quartermaster gen- eral. The above not only shows the animus of the Morehouse following, but is false from beginning to end and meant to deceive. Mayor Francis. on his way to Rich Hill, by invitation, | to deliver the 4th of July oration, stopped over ut Butler for two hours. | He held a public reception at the Arlington hotel parlors during the | entire time, and met most of the! business men and democrats of Butler and a large number of promi- nent farmers. He was not hobnob bing with anybody, but was here not as a politician but as a visitor, and the slur in the dispatch was not only an insult to the mayor of St. Louis | and the honorable gentlemen who called upon him, but a reflection on the hospitality and chivalry of our city. The dispatch from Rich Hill not ! only resorts to low, groveling per- sonalities in assailing City Attorney Dooley, but boldly charges mercinary motives of the two banks, old estab. | lished institutions of that city, for | daring to support the candidate of their choice. The Times has persistently avoided taking any part in the governor's race, claiming that the delegates to the State convention should be friendly to our home candidate, but the friends of the present governor have as persistently urged his claims, disregarding all others upon our county, and waged a bitter and re. | lentless war upon Mr. Francis. Mayor Francis, of St. Louis, is one of the most prominent young | democrats in the State. He came to Missouri from Kentucky, when a mere boy, without means, and by his great ability and indomitable energy, carved fame and fortune for himself from the legitimate channels of trade. every sense of the term, and presents an excellent example of what a young man of brains and energy can ae- complish in the great west. The business men of St. Louis, recogni ing the importance to thee interests of their city in He isa self-made man in having one of their number at the head of its municipal affairs, chose D. R. Francis as their mayor, and how well wisely was their choice. the prospe ty of that great metrop. his administration, bears full testi- ' mony. | The State of Missouri now needs a ! business man to fill the executive chair, a man fully alive to our great | agricultural and commercial interests; {a young man of broad ideas, whose |fame is not confined alone to his own state; one who can help us abroad by his large acquaintance, in | immigration work. Such a man we | have in the present efficient mayor | of the city of St. Louis. 1 The actions of a few politicians in | Butler in manipulating Saturday's | township convention is of no import- ance to the final results. Mr. Stone {had no opposition whatever and it | Was expecte ! that his friends could | pick up a delegation that would sup- {port him. But the result shows that | they were afraid to trust delegates of their own choosing, but disre- | garding all the claims on the county, instructed for Stone. This action, however, has shown the democrats of this township and county what their tactics will be and they saould see that no such opportunity is offered, by being promptly on hand when important work comes up, which will be at the township con- vention on the 21st. At that time Judge DeArmond’s interests should be looked after. His friends now | have assurances of what will be at- | tempted and no opportunity should | be allowed the parties who attempt- led to defeat him for circuit judge and who are willing to sacrifice him | for Stone's interests to work their ne- fario..s schemes against him, which | : R as | they sill certainly try to do. —<—_—_—_—_—_____. che the Stump for Cleveland and Tarif Reform. Ex Lieut.-Gov. Charles P. Johnson | speal:ng of the coming campaign day, “The prohi- sts have occasionally claimed me as their own, but whatever my ; Wilk 5: said: views on temperance may be—and {eve ne knows what they are—I | propose to tight for them within the demccratic lines. I am, first of all,a democrat. I stand squarely with Presiient Cleveland on his tariff message, and I can warmly and heartily support the democratic nominees and platform.” | “Then why don't you enter the | campaign as a speaker?” was asked. “That's what 1 propose to do,” “I think Iknow something about the tariff question, and nothing would give me greater | pleasure than to discuss it this fall | before the people. Therefore, I will |make ita point to enter the cam- |paign whenever my services seem necessary. —St. Louis Republic. | said the Governor. i A reporter of the Review met a prominent gentleman of Polk county. the other day, one quite familiar with the politics of south west Missouri, and learning ‘our reporter was from Bates, the conversation naturally drifted into polities, and we were not at all sur- prised to learn from him that the | Butler Demoerat’s candidate for court of Appeals was hostile to the candidacy of Hon. D. A. DeArmond for Supreme Judge, and supposed that our people understood the situ- ;ation. Well, we think the average _ Bates county democrat who knows anything at all of the political situa- tion, realizes that not only the above _is true, but that the Democrat is also | hostile to DeArmond, and that an- other more prominent politician and , Servant of the people is not only scheming against our popular candi- date for Supreme Judge but in the interest of the “red clover” candi- date for governor—turning the Judgship over to St. Louis. The | whole thing is summed up thusly: secure the nomination of Barclay at _ Springfield and it beats Francis or Glover at the state convention a week later.—Review Judge Philips received his com-} mission : as United States district judge y sterday morning, and quali- fied before cireuit clerk Watson yes- | terday afternoon. Judge Philips will hold a session of court on July i2 to dispose of matters ieft unfin- ished by judge Krekel City Star, July 3 No one by merely conversing with | ever succeeded in drawing him | - Merely conversing with War- | ner's Log Cabin Plaster would not | draw out the pain in the back, but ; an application of it would give re- | lief at once. Ten to Seven on Cleveland. “There are surprisingly few wagers on the presidential contest thus far,” said Captain Conner of the St. James hotel last evening. “It may be that the politicians have not sufficiently warmed up yet or that they are wait- ing to see how things will shape themselves later. One hears a good deal of talk that is mere bluster and bluff on presidential matters, but most of the hard cash just now is being placed on horses.” Under the porch of the hotel a well-dressed gentleman spoke of “ thousand even” haying been placed on New Jersey and Connecticut. but he refused to give names or any more specific information. He added that he knew where $10.000 or any part of it would be placed on Harrison J and Morton at the rate of one to two. Ex-Commissioner Mitchell, who was listening to him, said: *Consid- ering the contidence with which you republicans talk you ought not to be asking such long odds. You can get $1,000 against $700 upon Cleveland as often as you wish to be accom- modated. That the standing figure just now, but there are no takers. A demoerat who wishes to place a bet must post $1,000 against $1600. Why, a wide-awake man can is go down to the race tracks and make much more profit than that on his money between now and November. Ihave $500 which I will deposit with Captain Conner now against 50 of your money. Isn't that a fair offer?” There were no takers, and the group dispersed.—New York World. Mayor Francis was interviewed by the Republic of last Tuesday. He made the following showing of the several gubernatorial candidates in the counties that have held conven- tions thus far: Morehouse—Audrian, 6; Warren, 1; Montgomery, 4; Lincoln, 1; Pu- laski, 2; Stone, 1; Crawford, 2. To- tal 17. Francis—Linn, 3; Howard, 5; Boone, 7; Pike, 7; Lincoln, 2; Mor- gan, 2; Moniteau, 3; Gasconade, 1; Benton, 3; Miller, 2; Cape Girardeau, 4; Wright, 2; Oregon, 2; Barry, 3; Worth, 2; Bolinger, 2. Total 50. Claiborne—Lincoln, 1. Gov. Gray and Ex-Senator Mc- Donald have declared an armistice. The only strife between them now will be the attempt of each to secure more votes for Cleveland and Thur- man than the other. Both are con- fident that they will be able to carry Indiana by 5,000. 2561.
