The gubernatorial contest in this county is about as badly mixed as it WORLD AFTER- | FRANCIS A WINNER. | Victory For the St. Louis Mayor in i Jackson County - could well be. The vote is nearly | equally divided between che three | leading candidates, neither having | sufficient strength to carry the county. If the will of the people is to be con- sidered, each one should receive the representation his vote entitles him to. This would be the fairest, in | fact the only satisfactory solution of | the difficulty. There is one gentle- |man whose candidacy we are more ‘interested in than either or all of | these gentlemen combined. Bates jcounty presents the uame of her ‘noblest son for the highest judicial | office in the gi‘t of the people in the state. In honoring such a man we ‘but honor ourselves. Every citizen lof Bates County should, and we be | lieve do, feela deep interest in this laudable ambition of our honorable jand talented county man, Judge | David A. DeArmond. His success | should be paramount to that of any jother name on the State Ticket. The success of this or that man for governor would probably be a gratification to individuals in differ- jent portions of the county, but the success of DeArmond would | be a gratification to all the people of i the county. This should not be lost sight of in the county conven- tions on August 11th. The friends | of Judge DeArmond over the county whether for Morehouse, Glover | Claiborne, or Francis for governor, should see that his personal and strong friends go on the delegation to the state This can |be done without disparaging the convention. j race of either gubernatorial aspirant for DeArmonds vote shows that his friends are not confined to any can- didate for that office. Whether the |vote be given to Morehouse or Glover or divided between the two, such a delegation should be chosen of men who would go to the Spring- field convention in DeArmonds inter- est There are more state officers to |be nominated besides governor, and such a delegation could be of inestimable benefit to our home can- didate. While we are not trading people in polities we are grateful and help those who help us. We sincerely trust that no mistake will be made in this matter. We grant that considerable license is allowed the professional politician, and things that would not be tolerat- ed in the business man is winked at in him. But there are some things too contemptible for even this queer specimen of the genus homo. One of these is the circulation of false re- ports and the sending of false and misleading dispatches to the daily papers, after a straight fight has been made and he and his party have been hopelessly defeated. “But time at last sets all things even,” etc. “What was democratic law four years ago in Saline county governing Marmaduke for governor and Cole- man for superintendent of schools, and is the law at this very hour in Jackson, Buchanan, Jasper and ev- erywhere else in the state where like conditions exist, #s the law and shall be the practice in Bates coun- ty.”—Democrat. Is Mr. Wade the democratic party of Bates county that he should thus lay down his ultimatum? We know of no law that permits one man or set of men to thus set up a political dynasty in our midst and say what shall or shall not be the law and practice among democrats. Possi- bly it is the “divine right” to which he refers. ——_————_—_—— | Judge C. H.

In the afternoon the fight centered in Westport and Indipend- ence. The former, although handi- capped by imported caucus voters, even went so far as to instruct by resolution for Francis. Independ- ence will send twenty-one Francis delegates to the county convention. To-night the Independence victors came down to Kansas City 500 strong, and, headed by a band, marched through the streets bearing thriumph. In the city Francis has to-night carried 98 out of 120 delegates, and full reports are not in yet. Munford was beaten in his own ward and a precinct in the sixth ward. ‘The Munford tactics were most despica- ble. In the middle precinct of the gangs from Kansas, but the citizens of the wards took the bull by the horns, cleared the room of all who were not residents of the wards and terest centered altogether in the state lelegations and in aminor way on the fight for state senator. There can be no question but that Francis ics carried not only a decid- ority of the delegates from y, but at least 130 delegates of the 192, of which the county con- vention will be composed. The re- sult of the contest in Jackson can- not but be considered a great victo- ry for Francis for Munford has made a bitter fight on him, appeal- ing to personal friends, attempting to arouse local prejudices of the people against a St. Louis man and threatening to knife every county and congressional candidate wnose friends dared to support Francis. Monday’a K. C. Star. There were lively times at the Democratic primaries Saturday night. The various ward factions were out in force and the fight between the Francis and anti-Francis men waged bitterly. In many of the precincts the “slates” went through with a rush and little time was taken up with those primaries, while in others no less than two hours were required to transact the business of the meet- ings. While it is not positively known how the fight will end, it is generally conceded that Francis car- ried off the honors. In all 119 delegates were to be selected in the city. Contesting del- egates numbering forty-one were chosen in seven precincts. Most of the seventy-eight who go uncontest- ed have committed themselves and are supposed to stand as follows: Francis, fifty-five; Claiborne, nine- teen; Morehouse four. The Claiborne delegates are from the Second ward and north precinct of the Sixth, and are instructed. Francis is their second choice. The four Morehouse men are from the West bottoms.

Judge Krum Changes his Party. Lower Duties. | St. Louis, Mo., July 27.—The lo- eal political sensation of to-day has | been the declaration of Judge Ches- ter H. Krum that he would not sup- | port the republican platform or vote | the national republican ticket this fall—a declaration which ne empha- sized to-night by delizering one of the ablest tariff speeches of the cam- paign before a great audience of prominent republicans and demo- crats in a West end hall. Judge Krum had been for many years the leading radical statesman of this city and his defection caused considerable commotion. He is the leader of the criminal bar of St. Lou- is and will be remembered as the principal prosecutor of the whisky ring cases. At to-night’s meeting of the 22nd ward democratic club, which con- tains the best political elements of the city, Judge Krum appeared and in eloquent terms recited at length his reasons for leaving the republi- can party. His remarks were con- fined to the tariff issue and his ar- raignment of the free whiskey plank and his citations of perversions of truth in the republican platform ex- cited great enthusiasm. He upheld the Mills bills, made a strong argu- ment in favor of free wool and re- elected delegates for Francis.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press is try- ing to convince the republicans of Minnesota that they ought to stay in the party although they are op- posed to its platform. It has taught tariff reform ably for years and it knows that something must be done to keep the low tariff republicans of the state from going astray. It says: “There is probably not one in a hundred of the republicans in Minnesota who would subscribe to the new fangled fiscal policy for the first time laid down in that platform which looks to the abolition of all internnl revenue taxes on tobacco and whiskey as a means of reducing the surplus rather than touch a sin- gle item of the sacred and inviola- ble tariff.” But it adds that “no re- publican is bound by it unless he happens to be individually in accord with it,” and speaks of republicans who “reserve the right to think what they please of those transitory trim- mings of party platforms which change with every season like the fashions in dress.” The demand for a reduction of the tariff among Min- nesota republicans is not something that changes every season. It has been so permanent and is now so earnest that those who make it see in the republican tariff plank some- thing more than “transitory trim- mings.” And for that reason it will be impossible to keep some of them in line. That the coming cow of America is to be of Dutch extraction has been foreshadowed of late by the in- creasing strength of the displays of the Holstein breed at many cattle- shows in this country, and by the growing interest felt in the milk and butter records of important Dutch cattle. Farmers, and, indeed, all persons who wish to be well inform- ed, therefore, will pursue with pleas- ure the article on “Holstein-Friesian Cattle” by S. Hoxie, which appears in Harper's Magazine for August. It sets forth the history of these pa- tient animals, which comes of most distinguished ancestry, and recites their excellent qualities as producers of , butter. cheese, veal aud beef.
