i t } i DR. MUNFORD STATES HIS CASE. | He Has Protested and Expostulated, i But Remains a Partisan. i From the beginning of the campaign | | for the gu)ernatorial nomination the | Times has opposed Mayor Francis, i asd has sought through the columns of this newspaper to crystallize be- | fore the convention met the senti- Eioent of opposition within the party | |which we feared would make its | appearance afterward, in the event | of his nomination. Our opposition arose from the} j earnest conviction that Mr. seaia! iwas not the best man to be the stand- | lard bearer of the party in Missouri. \It is not pertinent to the purpose of this statement to reiterate here the | i ifacts upon which our conviction was | ‘based. With the interests of the ‘state democaacy thus at heart, the ‘Times has led the Francis opposi- | # tion in Missouri, culminating in the ig Jackson county convention yester- | § day. The Times hasn't a shadow of ‘doubt that if the democrats of this county had expressed themselves | fully and fairly the choice of the county would have fallen upon a dif- ferent candidate, nor is it less certain | that the result of yesterday's con- vention was secured by arbitrary means. At the proper time we en- tered our protest against these methods as pernicious, undemocratic and calculated to set aside the will fa of the people. 7 But all that is past and gone and we must look forward, not backward. Whatever the means employed, the @ result must be accepted as the ex- pression of the democratic party of Jackson county. With a solid dele- gation of nineteen from this great eounty it seems that the guberna- torial contest is settled in favor of David R. Francis. | The Times has had its preferences nd convictions, and has avowed up to this time, but we have had no personal ill-will and our sole aim has been to give the party what seemed to us wise direction. Until | Ua now we have believed that Mr. Fran- i i bis would not secure the nomination, i but with Jackson county in his col- 4 umn, the whole situation is changed. | The Times began the campaign of : 1888 thoroughly resolved to do averything i in its power to restore deace and harmony in this congres- sional district and to contribute its 44 Dest efforts to the success of the i rarty in the state.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 9.—To-day Joseph Richards, 14 years old, was driving a mule in the Murray shaft here, when a train of five loaded cars ran away and struck him with such force that his head was driven entirely into the mule’s abdomen, his shoulder broken and he was oth- erwise injured. When the horrified | miners discovered the boy's ter- \ rible condition they endeavored | to extricate him, and found the unit- ed strength of two men necessary. \ The boy’s head had penetrated the stomach of the mule. The boy was | taken home for dead, but revived | somewhat, though his skull being | fractured, and he will probably die. | The mule died almost immediate- | ly after the accident. \ A Woman's Charms Soon leave her, when she becomes a orders and peculiar “weakens” are peculiar to the fair sex. condition of tens of thousands of women to-day is pitiable in the ex- treme; they are weak, bloodless creatures, a prey to mental anguish and bodily pain; in a word, “broken- down,” from any one of numerous cases.
