The Bates county democratic con- ‘vention, to send delegates to the state convention, organized at 2 | o'clock Saturday by the election of | Marion Todd, of West Boone town- | ship, chairman, and W. H. Mead, of Rockville, secretary. The following | delegates were elected after a spirited | contest: Henry Tilson, Marion Todd, | J. C. Hale, J.A. Wright, S. McDaniel, | Thos. Irish, Wm. Kemper, W. H. | Warnock. | No instructions were given, but it is understood that four are for Glover and four for Morehouse. The Francis delegates were willing thata straight Glover delegation should be elected and made a proposition to vote for such adelegation. Some of the Glover men had the manhood to repudiate the combination that had |traded them off before they were elected, and gladly accepted such a magnanimous offer from the Francis side, but enough were whipped into traces to insure the success of the combination.

I had hoped for a diff- erent result at the primaries, for I am candid when I say I believe I was second cho:ce of 95 per cent. of of all the democrats in the State, and had there been a fight I would doubt been nominated. But the people have made their choice and it is not for me to say they have acted unwisely. They have given their preference to a candidate who is in many respects a remarkable man. Young, brilliant, polished and opulent, he will awaken great enthu- siasm throughout the State, and he is certain to carry Missouri and St. Louis with it, as the sun rises on election day.” “You think that talk of opposition to him in his own party is unfounded? “The sheerest nonsense. There may be a few soreheads, but they will come around all right. It used to be a law in Germany that when- ever a citizen of that country was a litigant in a suit and it went against him he was allowed twenty- four hours in which to curse, abuse, and revile the judge and jury. Then he had to shut up. Criticism after that was treason. So with disgruntl- ed democrats; they may have a few days of grace to get used to being sat down on, and after that we ex- pect of every man his whole duty. “Will there be any claim of fraud by the anti-Francis democrats?” “There is or should be now no such thing as an anti-Francis dem- ocrat inall the broad expanse of Missouri. If you mean former Clai- no grounds?” The primaries, I consider, eminently fair and honest so far as I knog, and the only trouble with my friends was while they were good enough they were not strong enough. I never believed from the start there would be any effort made to per- petrate a crime at the ballot boxes | and Tam sure there was not.” GLOVER ALL BROKE UP. Mr. John M. Glover was nota prominent figure yesterdry in the hotel corriders and was couspicuous- | ly absent from the Post Office cor- | ners.

It is a daily Jour- | nal and has heretofore been strongly Republican on national issues. The reason assigned by the Demokrat for making this change is the retro- gression of the party with which it has so long been identified. It de- clares that it has been forced to take this step because the organization which once stood for so much which merited approval which has degen- erated both in principles and candi- dates, until it no longer can claim the contidence of the people. It re-| gards the Republican in favor of excessive protection as a desertion of party principles, and dwells at length upon the great need existing in this country for such a reform as is outlined in President Cleveland's messge, and which is provided for asure by the Mills tariff bill. The action of the Demokrat is only another note of warning to the Re- publicans that if they hope to main- tain their organization and to again regain power. they must place them- selves once more in sympathy with the people and lend their aid to those measures which will insure the hap- piness and prosperity of the coun- try.—K. C. Star. in am We take pleasure of calling at- tention to the announcment of a gen- tleman for the office of Representa- tive with whom the democrats of Bates county are well acquainted, who has lived in our county for fif- teen years and while he has been an indefatigable laborer in the party ranks has never asked political pref- erence. He isa gentleman who by education and experience is well qualified to fill this important office. He is a lawyer of ability, and this being the session in which all our laws have to be revised, it is well to send such a man to represent the grand old county of Bates. P. C. Fulkerson is a refined, cultured gen- tleman and the democracy would make no mistake to indorse him for this high office. Headed by Franklin McVeigh, a prominent wholesale grocer, the business men of Chicago are organ- ing in aid of the election of Cleve- land and Thurman on the platform of tariff reform. The officers of the club will be, almost without excep- tion. men who have been active and influential republicans, who have been driven from the party because it advocates an excessive tariff and refuses to heed the popular demand | for a reduction of taxes. The presi- dent of the club will be Charles W. Deering, of the Deering Harvester works, and this fact will havea ten-! dency to spike the small guns which expend so much cheap ammunition on free trade and the competition of | foreign pauper labor with American i industries.—Kansas City Star. Michigan has a lumber region and | the great furniture manufacturing SOUTHWEST MISSOTRI. Talk with the Secretary of the Immi- gration Society. J. K. Gwynn, secretary of the Southwestern Missouri Immigration Society, said to a reporter of the Re- public at the Planter’s yesterday: | | “Maj. Harvey W.

The Blaine Republicans now have headquarters in this town separate and distinct from those of the Re- publican National Executive Com- mittee. Behind a brown stone front | of the approved campaign pattern they have a small army of devoted and campaign workers. They have a regular hierarchy of campaign officers, from the grand marshal-gen- eral down to the subordinate who puts postage stamps on the stirring orders issued by the central author- ity; and at the present time there is rapidly crystalizing a Blaine politi- cal organization of imposing dimen- sions and formidable character. Considering that Mr. Blaine is not running for President, but is only a defeated candidate for the nomina- tion, this movement is phenomenal and unexampled. It is now an admitted fact that the Blaine reception was a failure. In spite of the elaborate prepara- tions and the expense incurred to make it an “ovation,” there was no real enthusiasm, and nothing like the amount of interest was manifest- ed that the managers expected. The so-called “workingmen’s parade” was so conspicuous a failure that all New York is laughing at it, and Blaine’s speech fell flat. Chairman Brice voices the prevailing sentiment when he says the democrats have nothing to fear from such speeches, which, in fact, are simply the old “scare” speeches of 1884 worked over again. The trouble with Mr. Blaine’s dem- agogy is that itisoverdone. Voters may be ignorant, many of them, but they are not fools.—St. Louis Re- publican. Gov. Porter, of Indiana, too, gives as a reason why he does not want to run for office that he hopes to go to} Europe. The hegira across the water is something astounding this year. It does not respect persons. Begin- ning with Mr. Blaine, it has taken in all the defeated candidates for presi- dent who could get away, and has depopulated the stump of its most brilliant orators, without distinction of party or of previous extent of; usefulness. It might be looked upon as a deep laid plot on the part of the Cobden Club to entice our influential men away, were it not for this latter | peculiarity.—Boston Herald. It seems to me that the time has arrived when the people may justly demand some relief from their pre. sent burden. I therefore come with | the secratary in recomending the ) Alabama Democratic portions of the county previous to the nominations, but should the de- | | mocracy select me as their nominee \ for that office, will endeavor to do so. before the election. Hoping to receive in part at least | the same cordial support from all portions of the county as is promised | by “many citizens,” I offer myself as a candidate for that office, subject to the action of the democratie par-' ty. Very resp’y. Jxo. B. Ne Ticket Elected. Montgomery, Als., Aug. 7.—There was so little opposition to the Dem- ocratic State and county tickets that! there was little effort to secure news. The republicans did not have county | tickets in half a counties, and there were very few independ. | ent tickets. The local contests were | between Democrats. The legisla- ture is overwhelmingly democratic | in both branches, while Gov. Seay and the Democratic State ticket car- ry nearly every county by consider- able majorities. dozen “I cannot praise Hood's Sarsapa- rilla half enough,” says a mother whose son, almést blind with scrofu- la, was cured by this medicine.
